Credit Resets
Good evening,
We are in the process of applying credit resets to approximately 15,000 users who we have identified as the most egregious Challenge Reset abusers.
A one day credit earning ban has also been applied, mostly to ensure that recipients receive an in-game notification of the action taken.
As with any such measure, we have taken the time to carefully select our criteria to eliminate false positives.
A more comprehensive pass will be occuring in the coming week as our automated Banhammer mechanisms grow accurate enough to satisfy our high bar for burden of proof. If you are thinking about getting an easy 50k credits by using this exploit, I would strongly advise you to reconsider.
Thank you, and please direct any discussion of these resets to this thread.
[b]Edit 1[/b]: a point of clarification. No bans were handed out tonight for
a) Playing too much Gruntpocalypse (no such thing!)
b) Using the target locator too much (no such thing!)
Specifically, we targeted an exploit that allowed players to complete a Challenge 20+ times via itentional network manipulation (i.e., disconnects.)
Spot checks have revealed the telltale signature of this behavior on every denier so far, so don't be fooled by the protests of innocence. We aren't.
[b]Edit 2[/b]:
1) If you have lost your Legendary Helmet or any other downloadable offers, you can re-download them via your Download History. We're not sure this is affecting anyone (we haven't reproduced it internally), but just in case it is, give this a try.
2) We won't be resetting Commendations, as we do not feel that the exploit used affected them. It would not be fair to people who did use the exploit but who wish to retain the record of their playstyle, and we cannot differentiate between the two systematically. Sorry.

I know lots of people(around half the thread) that got to a high rank without cheating until later on that are furious because they put all their time and effort in getting to their legit rank they got before glitching. They thought it was ok since Bungie said if we found a way to earn credits that involved us playing the game(which it did) that they wont do anything about it. But now since people found a way to get max credits in around an hour, Bungie is flippin' out and deranking everyone who did it. Instead of wasting time on suspending people, Bungie could've been working on how to fix the problem. And Bungie must've expected people to earn lots of credits a day, that's why they made a credit cap. There really wasn't any need to suspend people and derank them. And for all those people that said they deserved it, i agree some of them did, the ones that found the glitch and tried to look it up on youtube. But the ones that been told by friends how to do it, i don't think they deserve it. Come on, if a friend told you there was a way to earn max credits a day without getting banned(well, people know now they will), wouldn't you do it?[/quote] its cheating u were pulling out ur Ethernet and taking advantage and manipulating ur rank to be the highest u can be.Be grateful that Bungie didnt report u and 15,000 people to Xbox to have ur XBL accounts banned or suspended (which if Bungie did, it would be awesome)[/quote] Coming from the kid who boosts in campaign? You should be banned for exploiting an in game mechanic. You also have KSI in you're name, you're argument is invalid.[/quote] You missused "you're" twice in the same sentence, so [b]your[/b] argument is invalid. Idiot.
