Because of the theory on path of least resistance and we humans fall for it all the time. Especially in video games where it doesn't matter except some personal entertainment.

The exploit is just to easy. No real punishment it seems when you do exploit and it's just so easy to make billions. No matter how easy you did it, you had to put more effort into it than this exploit.

There is just no reason to think any of the ones on reddit are faking.

There is a pic of nearly a billion in his original thread over there. You can still claim photoshop and whatnot but way to many are saying a similar thing for me to think it's fake and none of them are going to show enough information to ever be back tracked.

However, I do think BW would down play it as best the could and that is exactly what they did in their post. Give the honest gamers a false sense of, it wasn't as big a deal as others have made it out to be.

I call BS on that of course.

It must be a massive thing to sort this out but I have faith that they will get those that used this exploit and do what the rules state they will be punished with.

An account which spends hundreds a month on this game and used the exploit to get a few gifts for themselves but didn't generate credits is probably not someone Bioware wants to lose, regardless of how you or I feel, and thus will probably get a suspension or warning.

At the same time, I would expect accounts that generated a billion credits while posting stacks and stacks of gifts on the GTN flaunting the exploit will get banned permanently, regardless of how much they spend.

In both cases though, I am saying that Bioware will consider their bottom line, including the potential loss of revenue, in making those decisions.
These exploiters spend s 100's$ a month,,,,what the hell,how the hell do you figure that,the people that spend a ton of money do NOT exploit,they do not need to,they BUY CM stuff and sell it,you honestly think they would run the risk of losing what they have to do an exploit? i do not think so,matter of fact i bet you,your logic is so flawed it amazes me.

What these exploiters have done is inflate credits across the game,that means those that yah know SPENT REAL MONEY (You following me TUXs too?) just got a big slap down,yah those WHALES ,when some exploiter can dupe stuff and walk away with who knows how many credits WITHOUT spending any REAL MONEY you hurt many things.

For instance i was going to buy a few hypercrates of the recent one and open some and sell some,,NOW! not likely,,that's real money,yah you can even view what my credit card statement would of looked like,,not now,,,i wonder what these exploiters credit statements look like,if they even have one.

I asked in chat about a crystal exploit or something, because there's no way to earn coms that fast. Many actually replied that there was a way....

Good riddance to all of you, rot in hell, hahaha!

Hey Dethla,

I was one of those who saw your chat on Harby.
I ran 15 alts through the ringer doing close to 20, 25 heroics as fast as I could when I was on vacation from work when FE came out.
of course, there was no way I racked up enough Common crystals to purchase 300 to 400 companion gifts like the guy/gal you bought those two stacks of 99 from.
if my alts received what 5 common crystals from every heroic and they ran 20, that would be only 100 commons for each and that would be 1,500 and that would take several days due to lack of time in a day.
If dude or dudette had 300 gifts x 30 crystals a pop that's 9,000 crystals!!!!
I took close to a week to get one comp to 50 because you get the supply crates, turn them in and then get at least 1 comp gift for your reward but they weren't all Rank 6 gifts, that's for sure.
Plus, those 100 commons only got me 3 rank 6 gifts at a time.
So 15 alts would have only got me 45 gifts from the vendor.
Yeah, whoever you bought those stacks from had to have some kind of helacious exploit.
I know I didn't because the heroics are Weekly now not daily.

But hey then again maybe i will spend some money on the cartel stuff while the INFLATION of credits is out there and jack everything up,so players that want stuff better get cracking on dailies or whip out that credit card or find a EXPLOIT!
