    Are you implying you did something stupid? BTW, I do agree with your point of view.

    You could be banned posting exploits on the forums.

    Only exploit I really posted was with the rep boxes. That shouldn't be a problem, now that they fixed it.

    Stop playing ****ing stupid. All the people that played the exploited patrol missions to level know that really it was an exploit.

    People levelling starship mastery in 10 minutes is clearly an exploit. As is people levelling up once every 20 minutes.

    So your answer is, common sense. That's how you know. So stop acting like a child seeking attention, and chasing replies to your pointless whine thread.

    Does it involve spending dil or zen? No = exploit

    Incorrect.

    People who bought XP boosters and used them in new content, playing solo, with no level matching had XP confiscated from them for progressing too quickly, apparently.

    For all we know, slotting consoles in that 11th console slot on fleet and lockbox ships was an exploit.

    And people playing new content, solo, on Elite, using no tricks, who simply pulled 20k DPS? They knew too?

    If enemies seem too easy, or you're able to repeat it over and over without interruption, or you're leveling 10x faster than anywhere else, or you're able to squire far more dilithium than should be reasonably possible, or any combination of the above, then it should be fairly obvious its not worming as intended and should be considered an exploit. Now, to be clears an exploit isn't an exploit until players start abusing it. If you find that you're able to do any of the aforementioned things, according to cryptic, its OK to do them once in a while, but dont overdo it. Report it if you find it. Exploitation happens when greedy players do that same thing all day long, over and over, nonstop, to the point that they far surpass everyone else.

    That part I've highlighted is the definition of grinding and it's been a highly supported MMO mechanic since MUDs.

    I am not playing stupid, I am addressing the lack of clarity as of to why so many players have been labeled 'exploiters'.

    this is even bigger bs than what that incompetent dangelo said on that matter.

    japori giving less xp than argala sure made it obvious its an exploit.
    we also magically know the "devs" intentions, without them communicating with us.

    take your own child advice, seriously.

    just because youre lazy and slow doesnt mean others cheated.
