The cheaters shouldn't return at all but if they do, the only way they should return is at level 1 with no upgrades.  Make them completely start over from scratch.  By now, everybody knows what happened and everybody is watching to see how the cows handle it.

Agreed. The very least should be their upgrades they got as a result removed. But I would love to see these bans stick and them never return. We don't need people who think like this. Good riddance.

 

Yes eyes are very much on the cows and how they respond. Thus far I have to say I am pleased to see them doing the right thing.

Hi everyone!

 

Thanks for reporting this to us! As you know, this issue was fixed pretty promptly. We'll also be taking appropriate action against any cheaters who exploited this.

ban them all testing or not,why were they testing it to see if it worked so they could exploit it as well

 

well if they are allowed back in then ill rethinking my actions 

I think testing is perfectly valid, want to know what not to do and advise others. It was such a critical bug how could you not test it. Thankfully we had someone test it and advise everyone NOT to use AH.

"Unwritten rules". Fallen Sword has quite a few and indeed so does the Forums. These rules are NOT within HCS Terms of Use or stated in the Forum Rules but rather adhered to as a common courtesy to others. One of these unwritten rules is a player, when posting in the forums, should not detail other players IGN as this is deemed as "unwanted attention". And as an unwritten rule it works well, mostly, as it prevents a lot of flaming to and fro between players within certain threads. This in turn makes administration of the Forums easier for HCS which is good. However there are certain situations that arise in the game where I believe that "name-shaming" as one player put it, see how I didn't name them though, should take place. This being one of them.

 

Exploitation of a bug to further develop ones character or Guild IS in violation of HCS Terms of Use and a player caught doing so will, by the discretion of HCS, be terminated. And in my opinion anyone caught doing so also loses their right to anonymity within HCS forums.

 

Cheers,

dont really need to name them ,we all know who they are 

[Undjuvion]

imo, they knew theyd be caught by upping their max stam to such proportions, hardly exploiting, more like having a laugh and mucking around with "current" mechanics, noone is some super smart super villian!

 

edit: woulda been fun to be online to see how high one could tank stam before "caught" :-)

 

edit2: was not some secret script, it was done in plain sight where everyone could watch....
