  • [quote]Prove it. And then still: i pay, so i decide how i play.[/quote] That's not completely true. When you sign up for Xbox Live or PSN you agree to their terms of service. [quote]Sony Entertainment Network Terms of service: "You may not modify or attepmt to modify the online client, disc, save file, server or client server communication." "You may not cause disruption to the network connection, including for the purpose of gaining an unfair advantage in game." [/quote] Xbox has similar Terms Of Service. When you log on you agree to Sony or Microsoft terms of service, and they very well could ban someone for using the Crota glitch. I'm not saying they will start banning people, but it's definitely a possibility.

  • Ok well that's a valid point. Had a discussion about it yesterday (i was against glitching) and decided to go along, not keeping the terms of use in mind. We'll see what happens. If there's consequences, we'll see.

  • I hope they won't do anything, I have a lot of online friends who would get the boot. It's worth keeping in mind the next time people want to glitch, sometimes it's worth just backing out.

  • Coming from Halo: Reach, I remember when Bungie implemented a string of player level resets when it was found that players were afk'ing in PvE games (Firefight mode) for hours on end - they decided how to play the game yet were still punished for illegitimately gaining advantage over others by not actually 'playing' the game to rank up. Now this isnt the same as the kneeling connectivity trick currently being used for Crota, but from the example it shows that Bungie have no worries resetting players who they think have wrongly gained advantage over others. However with the current unease over the game itself from the community, resetting progress on a large scale would create yet more unrest that im sure they would want to avoid. I wouldnt be surprised that it will simply be patched, or if the problem is too complicated for a patch - that a statement will be issued warning players of a reset or a ban if they are found to be using the exploit.

  • I guess that would indeed be a logical step for Bungie; patch and continue. At this point I wouldnd mind a ban that much; the endless grinding starts to get boring and I seem to have an endless beef with RNG.

  • By this logic I get to decide what laws I follow...cause I pay taxes.

  • Do you let you manufacturers decide how you use your car? or how to use your cuttlery? or even how to point your hose while watering plants? Taxes and laws are in no way comparable to this. If I want to use shortcuts in a game I bought, that's up to me. Bungie can set boundaries, by which I am held then; but furthermore it's up to me.

    Nope, you don't let the manufacturer of your car or cutlery dictate how you use but if you don't use it the way they want you to and something happens to it are they obligated to help you? Not trying to argue with you it anything but I thought I'd point that out, it's the same thing with games they can't make you play how they want but if you don't then they can do what they want. After all it is their game and they decide what the intended way to use something is.

  • [quote]Do you let you manufacturers decide how you use your car?[/quote] When you buy a car the laws of your state dictate many things you can and cannot do with that car. When you buy a game from Activision and use it online Sony or Microsoft can dictate many things you can and can't do with that game.
