(k-sploit, ksploit) ex�ploit�ed, ex�ploit�ing, ex�ploits 1. To employ to the greatest possible advantage: exploit one's talents. 2. To make use of selfishly or unethically: a country that exploited peasant labor. See Synonyms at manipulate. 3. To advertise; promote. That's the definition of the word. Obviously we're talking about the gaming term, which is defined as "the use of a bug or glitches, rates, hit boxes, or speed, etc. by a player to their advantage in a manner not intended by the game's designers."

Source? And unintended does not automatically place it as an exploit. Sigh...

This is really grating on you, isn't it? As he stated, it was unintended consequences, not an exploit to be reconciled. I'm not sure what part of that is causing you such discomfort or what part you are not understanding, but I'd honestly try to help if you explain, rationally, exactly what it is about this that you are not understanding. I will tell you that I leveled two different toons last week, one conventional, one with this method. The one using this method gained about a level and a half per hour. The conventional toon gained about a level. It was not a severe as some complained, or boasted it was. We already know that people exaggerate wildly on these boards (like 5 hour waits for customer servers LOL), so I would take the hysteria with a grain of salt, calm down, forget about it, and go play the game. Its no a crisis, not worth getting hysterical about, not worth thinking about beyond a few posts. ;p

Unsubscribed due to no new Operations. I am happy that there will be a renewed focus on story, I love story, its why I picked this MMO. But I picked an MMO, not an episodic single player RPG that I have to pay a subscription to receive the episodes.

Quote: Originally Posted by EricMusco I have seen a couple of different posts and threads similar to this and I feel the need to step in. I said it in the previous post and I want to reiterate here. The argument of exploit or not aside, this method of leveling was definitely not intended as it allowed players to level far faster than designed. Far faster even than the intent of double experience. Us making this change had nothing at all to do with players making posts or threads about their unhappiness of using this leveling method. We are making this change is it was an unintended part of the design. Furthermore, a lot of these posts and threads have been bordering very close on what we will allow in regards to attacking other players and their opinions. Remember, continue to remain respectful towards eachother regardless of differing opinions. -eric And therefore, by definition this was an exploit. Some people need to just get over that. Bioware may not be taking actions against accounts for it. But, it is still an exploit. Several of these arguments would not have happened if you had just said that Eric.

You are only arguing semantics, official response was it was never supposed to be and won't be any more. So...what else you got? Or do you need something to do? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HZAR...layer_embedded
