As someone who never used the Vader glitch.
I dont think these players should be banned, they never hacked into the system, all they did was play around a bug/glitch that EA should have been responsible for fixing. And for the record I haven't even unlocked vader(I need to purchase 8 more shipments from store to unlock him), so I can send screenshots to prove this because I know there will be doubting me.

they knew what they were doing was wrong...clearly.
Why would they get hundreds of free bronzium packages? I never really researched on what exactly what the vader glitch was but you do know that you dont get any ally points when one of your friends uses one of your character right?
Yes, they had an unfair advantage, and they knew they were using a glitch, but they should have been warned about this. To me, using the Vader Glitch, and force closing are similar, and it's even arguable that force closing is worse because you reap far more overall benefits, neither of these are hacking or using mods, they're just playing around things that the devs should have fixed.
Not a trap ackbar, I genuinely think this.
You get 2k ally points from the final achievement.
They had to exploit like at least 30 times to get a 7* vader.
The "exploits" are in no way similar. Vader is on a completely different level.
I can't remember; did that achievement grant ally points each time it was completed as well?
Oh okay, I wasn't aware about this, but at the end of the day, they shouldnt be penalized for a glitch. If they modded or hacked it's a complete different story, this is something the devs should have fixed.
How are they not similar? Both of these strats are using glitches to gain an advantage. One is getting mats+tokens+gems+lots of gold, the other is getting a 7 star vader. Is 7 star vader even that great? 4 star vader is pretty awful on defense, I can't imagine him getting to an op level with 3 stars.
There is a thread about a guy who foubd accidentaly the glitch. His vader remsis with 4", because he didn't exploit it, even if he knew how. That's what every player should have done. Those who didn't, deserve punishment. If not banning, (because that involve refunding them their money I think) then a month without earning xp, gear or mats, starting with the update.
Um? Because people can legitimately complete galactic war easily every day.
No one can have a 7* vader currently and no one will get those extra bronzium packs.
What if the vader exploit was never brought to light? Everyone would be even more **** off.
Yes I understand that people can legitimately get finish GW everyday, while people can't get Vader, but they are definitely similar in a way that they're both glitches used to gain an advantage. So if they start banning people for Vader, they should do the same for people who are force quitting on GW, and I'm guilty of doing it too. I dont think either should be bannable, but just dont think people should be banned due to a devs mistake.
I actually haven't been keeping track on this situation, can someone shed some light for me? Are people getting perma-banned, or a month ban?
"We have decided to not ban these players, but will be taking additional action in the near future with these accounts."
I missed this. I just saw comments all over the board saying vader people are getting banned yada yada. Seems like they're not banning. Good choice imo on the dev's part. The devs seem to make good decisions.
"We've taken appropriate action against the account. However, we can not share the specifics of what we have done."
That's the average response for these kinds of things. This way they don't have to deal with angry players who feel not enough action was taken based on how heinous they perceived the offense to be.
I have no comments on the subject of this thread as such, but I do believe it's better to rely on and demand the devs to build a level playing field for us all rather than depend on players to play fair. In fact, the more people exploit glitches, the better. Brings more pressure on the devs to fix them faster, making the game more stable, fun and fair.
For the record, I didn't use the glitch. I didn't even know about it, lol.
There actually might be some people who have done this on my server, and just haven't used their vader. Idk. I didnt realize how many gems and ally points you get from this glitch, but my opinion stays the same. I dont think it's perm-banworthy.
That was just an awful analogy either way.
That way you are rewarding positive behavior rather than punishing negative behavior. If you encourage legitimate positive behavior, it works better in the long run than punishing negative behavior.
Even those that accidently stumbled upon the exploit. if they choose to report it the first time it happened and then stopped using the exploit, those people should also be rewarded...
Its those people who didn't report it and continued to use the exploit that should NOT be rewarded...
In the future when it happens again, they might think twice about taking advantage of an exploit... because they'll know they'll potentially lose out!
My 2 cents as it were.
Game used to be fun when it wasn't a grind... if I wanted a grind I would have went and played old school Everquest or some Korean MMO!
Hahaha, the analogy was made by the person I was quoting, I was correcting his assumptions.
And in all of those, the force closing is part of the game. It's not considered a glitch. In some of the games it was considered to be a "feature". In some of them (e.g One Piece as base, forgot the name since it changed its name many time - one was Sailing World) this said "feature" was removed. Yes, removed - not fixed. So, what you are seeing as a bug/glitch/exploit is rather a feature. Of course, that applies only if the devs of SW:GoH intended it the same way as the other games' devs.
Just some background information. However, this does not mean it is officially the same for SW:GoH. Maybe the devs here will regard is as a bug/glitch. Imo it isn't (maybe cause I got used to it with all the games) since it also provides more gaming time and "challenge".
This is a glitch.
"Glitches/bugs are software errors that can cause drastic problems within the code, and typically go unnoticed or unsolved during the production of said software. These errors can be game caused or otherwise exploited until a developer/development team repairs them. Complex software is rarely bug-free or otherwise free from errors upon first release."
""Glitching" is the practice of players exploiting faults in a video game's programming to achieve tasks that give them an unfair advantage in the game, over NPC's or other players."
