AA Exploit CorrectionsFollow

From sony's board

I have received word that corrections for participating in the exploit for gaining AA points that caused the emergency update on October 17th will be happening here very shortly. What is going to happen is that anyone who participated in the exploit will be 'selectively corrected' and will be losing ALL AA points they earned on the day(s) they participated in the exploit. 'Selectively corrected' meaning this will not affect those who did not participate in the exploit.

If for instance someone participated in the exploit on Monday and gained 500 AA points, skipped doing so on Tuesday and just leveled AA normally receiving 10 AA points, then exploited again on Wednesday gaining another 700 AA points, they will lose the 1200 points they gained through the exploit and be refunded the 10 they earned legitimately on Tuesday. The same will occur for any points gained by these folks from the day of the update until the day of the correction happening, they will be refunded the points they legitimately earned and have those points available to respend as they wish.

Any AA points that may have been legitimately earned on the day they participated in the exploit will unfortunately be lost. Consider this a penalty fine for participating in the exploit.

Please keep your posted questions constructive and on the topic so we do not miss any good, valid questions.

"I'm late, I'm late...."

imagine they'd "reset" the AA's to zero? now that would be fun, hihi

they should take 100% of thier aa's away for doing it. if anyone knows of an obivous cheat like 500 aa for bonechip turn ins then they should have just contacterd a GM and got the aa's back to where they should be, anyone who just kept going with the aa's without telling the GM's shouls loose all aa's not only the cheated ones. but the other ones as a punishment. or ban the accounts for a month.

the main reason i say punish them harder as they could have caused a game rollback on all of us non cheaters. they didn't care about the rest of us. so ***** them over.

crack is bad, mkay?

I think the characters should have been rolled back but nothing more then that. Its as much the fault of Sony for letting them do it imho as it is for them doing it. Sure they should have guessed it would have been wrong and they prolly wouldnt get to keep the AAs but some fault of Sony for allowing the bug has to be there for them to be able to do it at all. Its not like they were going all but LD to dupe things here, they were using a quest in the game that was broken.

FUNNY

i was grumpy last night.

oh yes any military out there ever heard of IT commander or is it LT commander
LT as in luitenant commander "misspelled yes i know" i hate fonts that take an "L" oe "l" and make it look like and "I"

your right is is 50% soe's falt too. thats why i gave up the punishment idea, let the cheaters cheat. soe can fix them when they can as long as they don't affect us. like a few yrs ago with a 3 or 5 day roll back . i was pissed lost 8 lvl's i had that week off from work and played alot. i quit for a while after that. soe make $60 amonth off me with 4 accounts active. and your right they don't want to loose money by baning and risk thenm not returning

ltcommander-

Since plat buying became popular the market has been screwed up hardcore. Mainly because of plat buyers low to mid level decent gear is off the charts expensive compared to what it used to be (talking PRE TSS), Making it impossible for non-plat buyers to compete gear wise. So yes plat buying has affected people. My question is how did people getting tons of AAs affect you?

And in reality good or bad Wineq is against the EULA. There used to be a thread about it over at EQ live.

I think SOE for once did a good job handling this one they fixed it as if it never happened (instead of massive rollbacks). Only suggestion i would make to them is to put a "Cheater" flag on thier EQ character profile.
