To be fair, @ monster  already had multiple eyes on his account during the scrap ordeal. From what I remember, he was cleared of any wrongdoing by not only @ Mako  but also by @ Grandma Gary .

Literally just comp... it's just money.

Warning shots my ass 

I suggest leaving Kavala and joining some type of group.

Good work solider 

@ Rexo or @ Grandma Gary

Thank you for the laugh. Lots of things to point out here.

1.) I am using CSTAT + T3. You are using 6.5m. Even if you did manage to hit me, it would take you several hits to take me down. Meanwhile, I am using a 7.62 MK1 Taser. With the T3 vest you're wearing, I would only need to hit you 1-2 times to take you down. Especially at that close of a range.

2.) I was previously banned for a bug that involved crafting. You can't craft tasers. Regardless, due to my failure to report said bug and abuse of said bug, my entire account was wiped. I was left with $49K and 0 vehicles. 

3.) I didn't DPI over anything. I've been banned several times for using DPI and will freely admit to using DPI in some instances. However, in this particular instance, I jumped over the front of the qilin, and did not DPI. 

In conclusion, had you led your shots, you most likely could have hit me. However, you didn't led your shots and your aim was honestly not that great.

If your best friend of 9 years blocks you over $50 (or even 300 bucks for that matter) he probably wasn't your best friend. Especially since it was your money, its not like you stole from him or did something shady. 

This 100%. It's sad af but he def wasn't your best friend if he would "end" a friendship like that.

To preface, as someone who was banned for abusing the scrap bug and in my IRL career managing multiple development teams I have the below to say:

At the end of the day, we all knew that what we were doing was abusing an in-game mechanic that was not intended to be there. None of us reported the issue. As for the actual bug itself, did we figure it out in a matter of a few minutes when the update was released, sure, but when you are deploying thousands of lines of code, maintaining different branches, supporting ongoing production bugs, etc. these things get through (especially when it is not a full-time gig and just a passion project). Unfortunately, in this scenario the bug was a game breaking one that allowed users to gain a lot of in-game value in a short amount of time. 

Were the bans at the start a bit to harsh, I believe so. However, at the time staff was still unaware of how it was being done, what the scope of the issue was, etc. After the method was found out, and staff had time to review, to my knowledge all of the bans (except for a few still pending) have been adjusted accordingly (reduced from perms to on average of ~7 days + wipe). I do feel a bit bad for some of the players who have invested thousands of hours into the server and had earned 95% of their funds/equipment legitimately, as I do believe most of these guys are good dudes that made a mistake. 

 

In regards to some of the comments here (most giving me cancer and making no sense  @ Sweet Lou ), I understand that a certain staff member is not very well liked in the community due to some of his actions/treatment of individuals outside of this specific incident. However, this is not the situation to be discussing your feelings towards said individual, he and the other staff handled the issue as they saw fit, and in the end, it is their community.  

This 100%. It's simple! Next time you find something that seems game breaking (I would argue $10,000,000 every 30min qualifies), go ahead and report it. Even if it doesn't seem like a bug, it might be something that needs to be nerfed.

If you did this you're an idiot

why would I be getting banned?

For some reason, they are trying to say you abused the bug as well.

  Drawing it at him prevents people that profited slightly from this from getting a big ticket ban. He didn't profit and additional assets were seized from his account on top of what he lost.

Monster had scrap/gear saved up from the past few years old playing the server, most of it being high value BW stuff like ATs, Armed Hurons, etc. I think he bought a Thermal Helmet or 2?

What you're failing to mention to the class is the 40k scrap that was slid to you to put in a house lmfao

This exploit only lasted from 4-01 onward, there aren't dupes/exploits prior.

 

There was a ammo truck bug w/ scrap that I believe people were banned for. This was prior to the April 1st update.

As @ Bubbaloo Burrito said, if you have to DPI jump out of anything, you definitely suck and shouldn't be calling yourself a good player in the slightest.

"how dare someone dispute me breaking rules haha i aint giving comp" 

I don't think you are in a position to determine whether someone is good or bad as you only have 180 hours on Olympus w/ 40 of them being this week alone. This represents roughly 23% of your total Olympus playtime.

is this supposed to mean something? it isnt an issue to me, you dont see me and my friends making posts whining about how exploiting a game mechanic should be allowed hours after i got banned for it. loooooool

I just found it ironic that you are calling people "shitters" yet you cheated previously in a game.

It seems like nowadays people who cant win a fight resort to exploiting in order to win a fight.  Stop being a shitter and it wouldn't be an issue.

Ive always been under the mindset that if you can dpi jump w/o killing yourself or legging yourself then it should be allowed.

I agree with this. You take the chance of either killing yourself (which could be argued combat avoidance -> which would lead to a ban) or possibly legging yourself. If you can avoid both, it should be perfectly legal. Nowadays, it seems DPI disputes are sent as a desperate attempt to blackmail the individual into comping or as a way to "get back" at the player who killed you.

Everyone who has played for long enough DPI's which includes admins/apd/etc. I mean, just go watch any oly montage and you will be sure to see it. Should just be allowed so long as you don't kill yourself by doing it in combat. 

I will buy it for 2m
