Credit Resets
Good evening,
We are in the process of applying credit resets to approximately 15,000 users who we have identified as the most egregious Challenge Reset abusers.
A one day credit earning ban has also been applied, mostly to ensure that recipients receive an in-game notification of the action taken.
As with any such measure, we have taken the time to carefully select our criteria to eliminate false positives.
A more comprehensive pass will be occuring in the coming week as our automated Banhammer mechanisms grow accurate enough to satisfy our high bar for burden of proof. If you are thinking about getting an easy 50k credits by using this exploit, I would strongly advise you to reconsider.
Thank you, and please direct any discussion of these resets to this thread.
[b]Edit 1[/b]: a point of clarification. No bans were handed out tonight for
a) Playing too much Gruntpocalypse (no such thing!)
b) Using the target locator too much (no such thing!)
Specifically, we targeted an exploit that allowed players to complete a Challenge 20+ times via itentional network manipulation (i.e., disconnects.)
Spot checks have revealed the telltale signature of this behavior on every denier so far, so don't be fooled by the protests of innocence. We aren't.
[b]Edit 2[/b]:
1) If you have lost your Legendary Helmet or any other downloadable offers, you can re-download them via your Download History. We're not sure this is affecting anyone (we haven't reproduced it internally), but just in case it is, give this a try.
2) We won't be resetting Commendations, as we do not feel that the exploit used affected them. It would not be fair to people who did use the exploit but who wish to retain the record of their playstyle, and we cannot differentiate between the two systematically. Sorry.

Honestly,I didnt care at first. But then I saw that all my commendations were still high so I can be ranking up much anymore and all of those went to waste...you guys are seriously -blam!-s,you say hardcore glitchers but I did it ONCE for 35K credits...is it too hard for you to minus the 35K from my rank or something? Why reset me completely? Good job,Bungie, You just lost dozens of players.
-
could atleast reset the commendations cos those were earned legit. Will we get our rank back? Or will we stay the lowest rank with almost half the commendations already used?
-

-

-
Fukk you bungie i was legily play and u ban me b1tch fukk u
-
all i did was play score attack and got reseted. does that mean playing a gametype you gave us is cheating.

All bans have been applied. We are spot checking people who claim to be legit, but so far, it's not looking good for honesty tonight. We do regret any departures as a result of this action, but we have a greater responsibility to the remaining several million players to maintain a degree of integrity in the online population. Good night, and have a good weekend.
-
no your probly screwed to, thats what alot of people did so just dont do the oni thing again and you will be fine maybe
-
forget you guys. no warnings were sent. you guys suck. who cares if we get a sh1t load of credits in score attack. your f@cken fault that you guys put the gametype in the fn game. damn bastards.

I WANT MY MAJOR GRADE 3 BACK

-
anyone know where they are located, i think all of the 15,000 that got banned should come together and attack lol
-
-blam!- bull-blam!-.
-
Tonight reminded me why Bungie is my favorite video game company of all time. All of the people abusing the cR system, deal with it. You pretty much cheated and broke the rules. You should've seen it coming.
-
So you get reset for doing score attack? Or are those people just lieing about using the challenge resets?
-
anyone know where they are located, i think all of the 15,000 that got banned should come together and attack lol
-
YOU guys said yourselfs Oni:Sword Base and Gruntpocalypse were fine and yet I get banned for so called "challenge resets" that's retarded.
