Seven hour rollback is a joke

How many people feel, as I do, that a seven hour rollback is a joke. I heard rumors of this exploit over a week ago and I suspect the exploiters got away with millions of AD days ago, not seven hours. This minimal rollback is an insult to the community of honest, rule abiding players but it dose appear that is all we are going to get.

Absolutely, this is not the type of game I want to play, nor will I. Dishonesty seems to be the trend in todays mmos. It all comes down to the dollar for these guys.
7 hours.........really?
get over it.
My only concern is that they didn't roll the servers back far enough, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since I can't see the game logs myself, and have no way to know for sure when the exploits began en masse.
In any case, Kudos to the devs for actually rolling back the servers, despite complaints from the community. The loss of roughly 24 hours (by the time the servers come back up tomorrow) is nothing compared to the damage that might have been done to the in-game economy if they hadn't done the rollback.

You lose the right to claim "it's BETA" when you open up the cash shop.
Because cash shops don't need testing too.
I beg to differ with you. This became a launch and not a beta the minute they said "no more wipes".
The only thing you can do is damage control to the point where things went completely bonkers, eliminate the perpetrators and continue investigating to see if you can revert any damage that may have occurred before the breaking point. I outlined this like 4 hours ago and apparently I wasn't far off the mark since what I posted is nigh verbatim of what Cryptic/PWE had in the works.
LOL
The problem is people with your attitude never stop saying the exact same thing, you just shift the excuse.
When it is agreed it is live, (perfect world already says it is), you will just be saying something like "oh that's the way mmos are", or "software is difficult you shouldn't expect this to work", all the while hoping that people accept excuses instead of quality product.
To be completely honest I can never tell if posts like yours are made by community managers trying to stifle discontent, or just wanna bes, either way they add little to any discussion.
!!!! i agree with you, we do need a complete reset...
Well, to use your argument, it is a Beta (wink wink). OFTEN a beta test has a wipe, so the argument you put forth is a flawed as you are. A seven hour wipe for a bug that was reported to them in closed beta, happened to them in STO and was easy enough to see WEEKS ago by looking at the AH is a joke.
Prior to that was most likely simple exploitation which can easily be tracked and corrected.

^this and I expect that no one will trust them again to spend a single cent, which believe me it will hurt em alot!
AH is out of the question for selling anything of real value.
When more than 60% of the player base at forums asks for a wipe and you're not delivering, don't expect them to spend money on you even if they 're not quitting.
