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.

I don't get why people waste their time "Trying to get their rank/credits back" in this thread. Instead they can be forging a map, or just ranking up again. Just think of it as you just prestiged. Good job. [Edited on 10.03.2010 6:10 AM PDT]

Not only are you a whining cheater, you're also: a) stupid b) the sort of narrow-minded bigot who thinks homo-blam!-ity is an insult (a giant, flashing red flag of douchedom by itself) c) did I mention stupid? I feel sorry for whoever's going to have to put up with you when you're stationed out. The armed forces the world over are filled with pretty damn awesome people. What a shame you're not one of them.

I have no real way of knowing this so I'm going to disregard everything you said there and after that and just call you a dumbass. You really are NOT that smart if you think whining in a videogame forum and bragging about stats makes you look superior. Put that ridiculously scrawny e-peen away and get some fresh air, I think the dust from the internal fan of your Xbox is starting to slowly ruin your cognition. [Edited on 10.03.2010 6:06 AM PDT]

It's too bad you can't afford both. I'm sorry you exploited something that was definetly unfair and got caught.

Lol, Bungie should send that Willy Wonka video to everyone who cheated.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Emperor Erno I haven't really done much research on it all, only just starting to pay attention to what's happening in politics. Yeah, people using the army as some kind of superiority badge are ridiculous. Oh, gives good credits, does it? xD Take care to avoid pulling cables out of patients and plugging them back in to redo operations 20 times in one day![/quote] BEST COMMENT IN THE HISTORY OF COMMENTS :D :D :D I'm going to make a promise to myself right now - if/when I join the Army, I am never, [i]ever[/i] going to use it in an effort to make myself look cool on an internet forum. Instead, I'm going to use it for useful things, like getting tax-free income, sweet health benefits and the opportunity to, you know, [i]make a difference[/i]. That's why I'm slaving away in a six year degree, after all. :P KIDDMNKY: I have a ton of respect for people who have been there and done that. God knows I've found myself wondering a lot of times if I'd be as strong as my dad if I found myself in some of the situations he was in. The stories I've heard are just the tip of the iceberg. I know there's stuff he doesn't want to talk about, probably stuff he [i]can't[/i] talk about. Most days, I'm just glad he survived long enough to be my dad, you know? He went through things so horrible he still has nightmares about them, saw friends dying before his eyes when he was only a couple of years older than me, and that's not even the worst of it. I'm just glad he's here to tell the tale (or not), even if survival came at such a high cost. Anyway, of course I can't pretend to understand all that stuff. I never said I did. That's one of the reasons I get a little annoyed when people use "I'm in the Army" as an excuse to be a douche. It trivialises and demeans the work of so many decent people. There are people out there laying down their lives, and some idiot thinks he can use this like some instant status badge on a forum? Give me a break. ...Whoa. I've clearly found one of my triggers. Sorry to get all SRS BIZNESS on people. I'm going to take five. Remember, cheaters: keep whining! Our continued amusement depends on it. [Edited on 10.03.2010 5:58 AM PDT]

No you will not get banned for replaying the oni:sword base checkpoint... It's no different then replaying any other checkpoint in the game. This one just so happens to give you the most powerful weapon with about 12 enemies nearby ;)

to be clear, i wont get banned or reset by abusing the target locator in sword base? or was that just for the one night?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HITMAN AC92 well im sorry if your but im feeling a little bit pissed considering i did everything legit except for 1k of creds they should have rest ppl to befor the glitch with a warning never to do again that would have wrked just as well this is overkill and yea bro thier are ppl out thier who did the glitch from recruit to lt colonel who didnt get banned for what reason i dont know but i have a couple as a refrence just in case bungie dosnt do the proper thing and bro f u punctiation whore [/quote] BS. You're clearly lying. Why would you bother doing it for 1k of credits? Couldn't you just play matchmaking or firefight for like, half an hour? Or just wait ONE DAY for some new challenges? You're either a liar or you're incredibly stupid, and either one makes it all the sweeter that you got nerfed.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] The Hillman I really don't see how this is a problem. When you buy and play a game online you are effectively accepting the T&C's of the company. Look in your manual. They will state that you should not circumvent the system. You cheated, you circumvented the system so you are open to reprisals without recompense. In future don't cheat. Simple as.[/quote] Well said, but I'm afraid your statement will fall on the deaf ears of cheaters in this thread. They are well too stubborn and foolish to understand that if one cuts corners without authorization, they will be punished. [Edited on 10.03.2010 5:50 AM PDT]

I agree with this. It's funny all the people posting "My dad was...." or "I'm going to be..." Those of you saying those things don't realize, to guys that have actually already earned it, those words are as empty as a Marine's wallet after he gets back from overseas and finds out his 18 year old wife cleaned him out and left him for his best friend. You don't see those of us that have been deployed posting in here saying, "I'M FREAKING AWESOME!!! I'VE BEEN TO WAR!!!" Those guys that say that are usually the ones that didn't see combat because I sure as heck don't want to discuss some of the stuff I saw over there. I hate non-rates thinking they can just get respect by throwing out comments about the armed forces. Doesn't work that way and if you ever find yourself wearing one of the uniforms you will learn quick, fast, and in a hurry that this fight we live everyday isn't what you see in movies. You either never see any form of combat or you experience things I would never wish on another person. Go brag about your "l33t halo skills" not supposed military service. We don't care, civilians don't care, and you only get play with the ladies when you are IN uniform not telling tall tales.
