Looks to me like II is getting a little hostile because they got caught using the exploit. I probably would have had some fun with it before reporting it or until I got caught also. |

I havent read the whole thread, I do remember a couple days ago the guy comes on the forum and asks whats up, this guy is getting multliple orbitals. Next day CCP makes fixes the bug. I dont care. It really was a cool exploit, who wouldnt want to use it a few times? If you had already reported the bug, I still wouldnt call the guy an idiot, all he know is he brings up the issue then it gets fixed. |

We didn't want the game to descend each match into a race to 2500 WP, and the first past the post got to rule the match thereafter. If CCP hadn't been able to fix it so quickly, OBs probably would have had to be switched off.
Posting about it on the forums before it's fixed on anyone's part is really stupid. It lets everyone know there's a bug. including the ones who would abuse it. If you see a bug in action, report it and stay quiet.
I understand. Exposing it in the forums should get it fixed pretty fast, maybe one reason CCP did act so fast. I dont squad up much, didnt know you lost 50 points with a suicide. Still pretty clever who ever wondered if they could get two orbitals doing that. |

I'm an IT Security Officer in RL and Zero Day Exploits (publicly releasing exploit details before they are patched by the vendor) are NEVER EVER EVER, let me repeat EVER EVER EVER, ahem EVER a good idea. The fact that you wanted II to release one makes me want to beat you over the head with my ISC2 book. I kid... but seriously, they're bad.
lol, okay. I get it. I probably would have done the same thing, thinking once everybody know about an exploit, it will no longer be an exploit.
I have a question sort of related. Is the sound related to the number of orbitals or is it inconsistent, for effect only. Seems like the number of "booms" is random, meaning some people might have been doing this for a long time, be almost impossible to catch them. |

Its got to be really bugging anybody who was using the exploit and not reporting it. They cant claim they found it first. So keep on bragging. |
