That's the thing with cheats, they often won't admit then fight vehemently to defend their non existent innocence.
This is why I sometimes enjoy the public shaming in these cases. Riot does a good job in Leauge with this. Players will post on their forums or Reddit that they were unjustly banned or suspended for being toxic. Riot has no issues with posting chat logs from the player's recent games where they spent the majority of their time telling allies to kill themselves or wishing they would get cancer and die.

Without any proof, the player base in this case will never know for sure if players were getting banned simply for using the GTN or if they were actually involved in some shady business.

Applied for job Oct 3. Posting ended Oct 23. Got email was referred Nov 17. Got call they want to interview Dec 11. If I pass interview, probably won't start til some time in January.

Thank you, Uncle Sam.

..END OT..
In my personal opinion, short of executive positions, people worth hiring who apply Oct 3rd aren't still looking for a job come Jan.

The good ones are snatched up quickly.

If hiring for senior level positions, that doesn't always apply, but if you need a coder or artist, make sure you're ready to move when a good one shows up.

So now who is making the unfounded accusations? Care to back up that claim? I'm still posting and never claimed to lose anything. In fact, I didn't because I didn't exploit, I was wealthy long before 4.0 dropped.

I'm simply trying to point out the completely flawed reasoning among the "burn them at the stake" people here, I hoped that went out in the middle ages, but sadly it didn't.

They even stated that there were a very small amount of players who went crazy with the exploit.
They stated with Ravagers that if there was another exploit and players took advantage there would be serious punishment.

You say I'm not using logic, you are just making things up rofl
You claiming, "Thousands and thousands got temp bans" is you just trying to get attention to something that isn't that serious. You are probably the same crowd of 50-75 people who whine the game is dying and then say you speak for everyone.

I'm just using, what do you call it? Logic with assuming you are among the exploiters, probably a temp ban. I'm using the same information and making assumptions just like you.

What is most pathetic, is that you are using real world examples (terrible ones at that) for people who got caught cheating in a video game.

You signed a contract when you login, you broke the rules, you got things taken away to include a ban. It says so right in the ToS.

I don't see you advocating "Wahhh the ToS is too strict!!!" it has been there the whole time, but now its too much because they are actually using their ToS to punish people?

Either regrind your stuff or stay subbed to complain on here.

given the reddit posts about players keeping their billions, i think the 500 banned accounts figure is a complete fabrication.

Most of the recent Reddit posts I've seen have been people losing their exploited stuff, nothing about keeping it recently.

What reason has BW:A to lie about that?

I do seem to recall them talking about the Ravagers exploit, and getting tougher with future exploits at the time.

On a side note, I've sorted out all my chars' companion pants situations; once the Gree event has ended, I will begin to search through any outstanding mail on all 107 characters.

I think that's cause it got into the hands of the public to fast and they really can't track it down that fast they only fixed the glitch this past tuesday. I'm not really sure if all these posts that had stuff taken away from them are true either, at first I believed them and was kind of worried about my account buying nearly 40 stacks of those completed bounty contracts off the GTN, but since the GTN is fair game.

I don't think they are doing anything to those that actually bought stuff on the GTN at all. I wouldn't mind if they had taken away the contracts that I have bought cause out of the 4 years of playing I have made so much more reselling random stuff on the Gtn than reselling those contracts.

Nah, this is a guildy who isn't like that. I know people like that but she isn't one of them.

There was a post around here when this dude's wife got banned and he was swearing that she didn't...

We don't know and you really don't know if your guildie is a dirty exploiter or not.

The people getting GTN banned, its iffy. I KNOW there are people who know exactly what they are buying at bulk costco prices. I KNOW there are people who are laundering for their friends / guildies. I KNOW there are folks who don't live and breathe the forums who are innocent.

I trust BW will solve things correctly with banning and unbanning people. I do hope they stand their ground on resetting these players credits / comms / influence etc. though.

Just now, I just bought 10 companion gifts for my droid for 44k each. The email had the gifts but they didn't transfer to my inventory. Not sure if the system still took my 445k. I filed a ticket to find out what happened.
