NOTICE: Regarding Pennsylvania Zoner Pilots Exploit

[Nekrotalis]

That is NOT the vibe here. Yes, any bank or security manager would be fired after such an oversight, so shame is definitely in order. And nobody excuses the exploiting players, but the benefit of the doubt is given in court. Innocent until proven guilty. And yes, the money should be given back. But after you fuck up, you ask more nicely.

Why'd they need to ask you nicely? This is already all the nicety that anyone having done this exploit should get: "Don't make our lives difficult and we won't ruin yours."
The matter of the fact is, people used an exploit, in the full knowledge that it was. Some people even went so far as to try to obfuscate the fact that it was an exploit through pretending it was an event. And now blame the team of people that even allow us all to play the game for it. Humans tend to be fallible beings. The difference is the intentions behind the mistake. One was a genuine mistake. (This might apply to some people doing the exploit as well but definitely NOT the majority.) Or intentional malice. Which I'd say is the case for everyone who used the exploit. One lesson from life, the easiest way most often is not the right way.

And also, imagine the outcry if they hadn't asked and just looked into the people doing that exploit without offering the opportunity for this. This is them already asking nicely, but some people don't seem to understand that.
