    I mean, I'm happy about all this, but honestly, as someone who's deeply invested in APB's economy. . . I really don't think letting hackers have their money would make a huge difference.

     

    First off, you have to consider that missions will never be as fast as creating or trading for making money. I doubt even a good hacker could make a mil a week without spending a shit ton of time, but I know people who could make a mil for every item they create if they really want, and I know I personally could easily make 5-10mil a week if I tried at all back when trading was big.

     

    Second, you have to figure that this only really penalizes people whose assets are liquid. Not that I got banned, but I, for example, have millions and millions of APB$ worth of legendaries, and don't even have a 1mil in cash. I know a lot of players who were banned must have had fortunes in symbols, themes, and legendaries.

     

    Plus, since more players is going to inflate the economy more anyways most likely, a few billion / trillion or whatever added back into the economy isn't going to do much in the long-term anyways.

     

     

    Anyways, I appreciate it, and I'll be happy to have some friends back, but I really just don't see how removing their liquid assets helps.

    i guess if people cry hard enough on the forums they get what they want, they convinced little orbit to wipe our stuff after all, penalizing honest players is just very poor decision making. i can't wait to get into mission district and try to spawn my pioneer for 100 dollars.

    I understand your frustration. Please know that we did a lot of analytics against the banned accounts to try and figure out a better way, but in the end it was impossible to make any 100% determination on whether someone actually cheated or not. We are not wiping progress, lowering rank, or taking away G1C / purchased items. This was the best I could do to equalize the economy and create a level playing field for returning players who may have abused the game.

    does this just include fairfight banned accounts, or does it include manual banned accounts as well?

    In regards to the unban wave that Matt mentioned. He said he plans on undoing a large majority of the bans, does this include bans for other reasons besides cheating though? Specifically manual bans that fall under the category of, harassment, exploiting, or scamming. Will those bans also be undone? He did mention that the only bans that should stay put included those who committed credit card fraud, or any other illegal activities, but it seems that the other forms of bans besides cheating were not mentioned, or it was not clear to me.

     

    Secondly, this has been asked many times already but I will ask again. Can you free up unused names from characters who have not played in multiple years?
