Exploits shouldnt be rewarded

There was a time where a Finn zeta exploit was announced. Took a few months for the exploit to be fixed. In that time a large number of people zetad finn based on that exploit. Reaped rewards of the exploit, the whined and moaned when the exploit was fixed about wasting a zeta.
Then had their zeta refunded.
Why is it this time rewards for exploiting are being taken away?
And before you say anything about it benefiting me, i was 13 GET1 currency (thirteen) from 7 starring malak without the exploit.

We can be facetious about it.
By your definition palpatine was being used to exploit the drevan/ malak meta when they first came out, because the interaction was 'unintentional'
CG just doesnt or isn't able to manage all interactions an game and the community will always be better at it anyway.
Point is you have to see how your definition of exploit is insufficient and that you might not fully understand the issues around this mpst recent bug
Any bug that people partake in is an exploit and that's the definition of an exploit.
Hence, we're all getting at least 250 crystals because this was entirely CGs fault. I even think that's too little because of the damage it's done to player confidence and the community (eg. some players demanding punishment of other players).
Too good to be true.
Unless u are a new player it should be known that CG doesnt do this.
Absolutely ignorant of the deffinition of exploit.
And when 3p0's unintended interaction came to light masses who had NOT zetad Finn... Zetad him to exploit the situation... And then when it was announced (9 weeks before it happened) that it was not intended and theyd be fixing it. Even more people exploited the situation and zetad Finn reaping rewards. Followed by dozens of threads and hundreds of posts by people intentionally exploiting the situation demanding they get their (now worthless) zeta on finn be refunded.
In case anyone elae reading this still doesnt understand exploitation... This is 100% it.
And that's why everyone that got malak shards from the event who'd previously completed have been banned.
Oh they haven't? Hmm.
Lmao because CG is just going to ban all their whales right?
Rules can be broken with $.
Did people exploit an unintended reaction?
How would those same people know, that it wasn't intended behavior?
Exactly. Unintentional interactions are not exploits.
You mean like everyone responding to this troll thread?
But this dont resolve the problem that only malak 7 owners get " more rewards" (because of the whales) and were the least affected by the bug.
And also now, nobody can 7* Malak, so another advantage for the malak 7* owner (because of the whales) (I dont care if it is only 3 days, it is 3 days of advantage)
There is a common pattern here, I let you find it by yourself.
Call it an exploit if you want but the smart thing for CG was to let all players just run the event twice and call it an early Christmas present. Instead they **** off a bunch of their players (on the heels of several controversial game changes), they posted a rollback plan that is only going to please their top end clients and they have to do a bunch more development to fix the issue.
250 crystals across the board is fine for the screw up. Everyone is getting it. Their justification of the shard shop currency is ok in one sense, if you already had a 7* Malak and missed out on re-running it, you should get the currency equal to what the others who did run it got if you didn't get a chance to run it before it was shut down. However, those who didn't have a 7* Malak should not be excluded. While they can't give out the extra shards, everyone should get the same currency regardless. If you can't keep the Malak shards from rerunning the event, then how is it fair to give out shard shop currency to those who didn't rerun the event. It is a lazy make good because there is no way to take back shard shop currency that has been spent. If those who didn't rerun the event are being given a make good to equal that of those who did rerun the event, those who didn't have Malak at 7* need some sort of equivalent make good, whether they reran the event or not.
In the case of FINN. When CG anounced that it wasnt intended and they'd be fixing it.
In this case when crumb (or my no indont remember who) said we are shutting the event down dont do it.
Devs communicating that it was a mistake outside of the game doesn't actually reach most of the SWGoH player base.
I agree the that way they are going about reconciliation is f'ing insane, but many of us did not intentionally "exploit" anything. Don't be PO'ed at us because the developers are incompetent and don't actually test properly.
