114102-does-carbine-allow-exploiting

== Content ==
			
Reason why I ask is there has been several exploits in Wildstar for months that have not been fixed. (Medic discharge, engy quick, boosting etc ). Tothis date, I have not known a single person who has been banned for it and Carbine even protects the identity of the exploiters and prevents legitimate players from calling them out

You report it to the devs/CSR and they will investigate the matter because they have the tools to do so. I'm assuming that you reported these exploiters right? and that you have ticket numbers as well as the resolution to those tickets?

no, you report an exploit..they investigate and check logs. They determine if it's an actual glitch or something the offender as modded..then the person(s) get suspended/banned and/or the hole get's plugged. We never know because a customer's right to privacy
 
if you want to ride the line because you don't think it's "fair" they aren't caught and you will be, then have at it..your just painting a big target on yourself.

So if you report someone for exploiting, and they are not banned... what does that mean? That's is the question that this post is about.
 
Does that mean I can download a mouse/keyboard macro and instant cast impales all day long so I get over 2+ million dmg in every BG while the next closest guy is at 400k?

Oh.. yes, reported weeks ago...

			People were banned for doing the SSM farm I believe - so in short yes.  It's not a massive hack but it's gaining an advantage by abusing a broken mechanic that gets fixed.  Things that are blatant can be dealt with, some can't though.

			I'm not sure I trust  anything from someone taken to whining about people being overpowered constantly.

You want them to protect players identities. That means they're protecting yours, too. Sheesh. Naming and shaming is also a pretty crappy thing to do. Itdoesn't do anything, and just causes unnecessary drama.  If they're exploiting report them and let Carbine handle it. 
 
Did you ever think that maybe the reason they've left those players alone is because they're gathering as much information as they can on the programs or exploits they're using to take advantage of others? 
Stuff doesn't get fixed in a day, and they have a ton of other stuff they're working on as well. 
 
You either want them to fix the stuff that needs fixing most (code/classes/skills etc) or you want them wasting time on a few exploiters. 
 
Take my advice-thinking about stuff before you post will prevent you from looking foolish.

I don't mean their real names... I mean their in game names. So when "SirLegolas" afk bots in BGs, I can't advise the server without Carbine deleting my posts.
 
This is unheard of. I remember back in WoW people all the time would make "So and So ninja looted this boss" posts on server forums. And Blizzard never protected them

			Really?!! I didn't realize this was a problem. Please show me an example thread of someone photo shopping an image to harass someone

Hello, 
While we do not allow exploiting, determining if someone is exploiting can sometime be tricky. First and foremost we want to protect innocent players from getting wrongfully suspended just because they acted suspiciously. We only take actions on players that we know for sure have violated our rules. It can take some time between the moment you report a player and the moment an action is taken. Just because you don't see a player banned doesn't mean that we allow nor tolerate exploits.
 
If you believe someone is cheating/exploiting, please report him directly in-game by using the command /ticket or head to support.wildstar-online.com and submit a ticket.
 
Name calling is not something we approve on our forums or -anywhere- in-game. If you use public channels to claim that player X is cheating, player X can report you to customer support which will then take action against you for harassment.A screenshot is not a valid proof of someone exploiting/cheating. A video is not a valid proof either. It may be a piece of evidence used by our Agents to start an investigation and determine if someone was violating our Policy. But only hard data, pulled internally from our tools will be used to take an action against a player. This is necessary to protect everyone from possible harassment. It literally takes minutes and very little skills to fake a screenshot.
 
I will also be closing this thread and removed the screenshot that was posted for the reason I stated above.
 
Thank you for your understanding.
