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.

On that sensitive note, waha remember what I said about scrubs with mrs worse than mine, jay, med school is tough so good luck and don't disrespect the troops, they live and die for you the people, and should be honored as such, god bless.[/quote] My dad's an ex-Army officer. Lt Col when he retired. Was a prisoner of war for two years when his squad was ambushed behind enemy lines during a covert mission. [/quote] Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortu- sorry, that just reminded me of it. My parents met each other in the army, both Majors. Don't think they were ever on the front lines though.[/quote] Heehee, seriously, sometimes I listen to my dad's stories and wonder why the hell they haven't made a movie out of them yet. XD I want to join the Australian Army as a doctor once I graduate, at least for a few years. They don't let girls fight on the front line in any case, so that's not an option for me, but I hope I'll get a chance to help out anyway. I don't necessarily agree with all the policies behind the whole War on Terror, but I've known quite a few military people - some of them have even been my supervisors on clinical placements - and they're decent folks trying to do their best for their country. I'd like to do that too, if I get the chance. Not so I can do the whole Better Patriot Than You thing, but because it'd be nice to be able to do my bit and get some good experience doing it. (Plus, I hear the pay is amazing. XD)[/quote] 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!
