y'all say its not game breaking then continue to wipe 20+ people with hundreds of hours put into this server for example gunit had like 15 AT vehicles and countless tasers and shit he had accumulated for years and everything gone in a split moment. corny ass get outta my game

Have you ever heard the term "fuck around and find out"? You don't own anything on this server. When you play the game you agree to abide by Olympus' rules, one of which permits staff to remove money/items from your account, even if it wasn't expressly stated, again, you don't own anything on the server, you're granted a licence to use the items in-game sure but that licence is 100% revocable.

same logic as a Toyota being blamed because some retard took his Prius 90MPH off a cliff and it didn't hold up
Or Blaming a plumber because instead of calling him when your toilet wouldn't flush you sat there and dropped log after log till your bathroom was a pile of shit
or a chef because instead of eating meat you KNOW isn't cooked to your liking you sat there and ate it like a moron when you could have asked it to be cooked more
or a grocery store because you took home fresh fruit let it rot in your room for 4 months and ate it!

Increasingly common Noble W?

I’d say it’s more like finding $1000 on the ground and handing it in saying you’re the good guy when you could be rewarded $1000 by just putting it in your pocket. It ain’t my problem you dropped the money 

Society exists because there is a common agreement to do right by each other. In a moral society, knowing that the $1000 belongs to someone else, dishonestly taking that money intending to permanently deprive the person of it would be classed as immoral and would hopefully be prohibited by law. It's not other people's fault you're a piece of shit.

Well unfortunately in this case the $1,000 you picked up is logged and traceable

I don't think mako uses silent aim, silent aim is so so easily detected even from just a visual spectating. Half of the community doesn't use ESP, I bet if pressed you'd say that nobody you ever played with used ESP. Government officials having the ability to "check key" i.e. verify ownership of a house is something they can do in real life.

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.  

A nice refreshingly sober response. I'm glad your ban was reduced.

It still blows my mind that people dupe/exploit on this server and think they’re gonna get away with it, people always get caught and the punishments have always been harsh.
 

It’s less common now because most shit has been patched but all these forum posts claiming the punishment was harsh is embarrassing. You’re all just mad you got caught!!!

Every year or so theres some bug that causes a duping exploit.  Every single time it happens, there's some group of people that say "They wouldn't dare ban all of us."  They always do.  Ya'll taking that bet when it's historically never once paid off just demonstrates the shitty gene pool your dad blasted into your mom for this to be the best and fastest sperm.

You know what baffles me? Every time someone gets banned for a fuckup on their end, it’s immediately followed up by a forum post talking about how shit the server is.
 

I guess if you don’t care about the server then why even bother with this “ god awful shit community “ and posting all of these cries? 

Come on guys. If you don’t like it here anymore, go fuck about on another server. Yes things aren’t perfect and staff aren’t perfect but fuck me do people work hard around here for the absolute monetary amount of zero. 
 

Have a great day!

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.

As for the main point of this thread that these bans will "kill olympus" and posting those BM stats to prove it, youre failing to mention that arma was $5 last month for the spring sale. The drop in players was going to happen with or without the bans.

[IamALittleLow 108]

Yeah lets blame the admins for the server "dying" because Ya'll decided to Exploit. Take some damn responsibility.

The fact that a "new" EU server just popped up, along with various other bugs that are currently happening, this is to be expected.

Regardless, Mako didn't drop our player base, and even though he was the banning staff member, every other staff member would have done relatively  the same. The players who abused a bug to dupe did. Although the bug is due to an oversight on development/testing part, it's not like anyone thought to, y'know, report it instead of abusing it and then crying when they get banned.

Not many people really seem to realize how much time Mako and the rest of us actually dedicate to this server to improve it, and as we don't actually get paid more than peanuts on the hour, it's not like we have any actual obligation to be here or even help you out.  We try to keep things as equal among as many players as we can, but it gets hard when people cheat, exploit, and lie to get what they want

 

If you don't want to be here, that's on you. Don't cry at us because other people tried to get one over on us.

When you build a community based around mistrust, dishonesty and corruption along with a gamemode that involves 'robbing other people' and where 'scamming is allowed' you can't expect the best (reporting of a bug) out of everybody 'no honor among thieves' I mean just look at makos profile banner I think he describes the community perfectly. Now in terms of dedication and work I think you guys do a kickass job at running a server with very little thanks in return. Uhh I don't really have a point to make here and I gotta poop so yeah.
