Frankly, Elfie this is a question of scruples.
I don't man guns much and knew nothing of this bug until I read about it a few days ago.
But I equate this situation to a person walking around a store, and finding a $20.00 bill on the floor. Now, we all know the right thing to do is to turn it into the manager, and walk away. But how many would do that?
I can honestly say I would pocket the cash. That's my honest answer. On the other hand, rank and score mean nothing to me if I have to play a bug to do it. The fact is, you did not earn those kills, so it has no value. It's like cheating at solitaire. Your only fooling yourself.
I do not judge others for what they may or may not have done. I do not consider this a bannable offense as no one hacked the game to give themselves an unfair advantage. I would guess the bulk of those in the guns did not even know they were exploiting a bug.
I'm sure HT is working on this if he did not fix it already.
So my point is, this is not a question of hacking. It's a quesiton of scruples. I really don't see how someone can be banned for this.
Even the most honest of players, like Flossy, was manning a gun. Did she know it was bugged. She says she did not. Should we ban her anyway? If not, they no one can be banned, because everyone can say, "Hey, I did not know."
In my opinion, we really need to let this one go, let HT fix it, and move on, before we create even more animosity.
