This wasn't any exploit because system allowed you freely to do it. Also there was nothing about it in TOS unless you creatively bend the rules like in creative accounting.
Thing is it wasn't even anything new. JMBs were given away for years and no one ever got banned for it and G1 never issued any warnings.
It would be fair to let people know when you changed the rules especially when you decide to not ban those with 15 accounts and ban those with 20.
It's simple. If you don't want people to benefit on more than one account then release acc bound codes or at least make a sticky on the forums.
And how do you tell that someone is cheater? Does he need to snap 180 or just 99 degreees? Is WH accusation enough? Where do you draw the line?
You want to afk the mission I get it but to penalize people? This would be very murky
Shhhhhhh it doesn't even make any difference. FF always needed few weeks to ban a single rage hacker. It's been like 2 weeks since LO is in charge and that's not even half life of shawcopter in San Paro
If you were cheating then you will be welcomed. However if you got banned for bumping into Sylim's car or breaking the TOS in another way you might stay banned.
When I started playing back in the OBT districts had no threat. I was being farmed for months and this didn't make me go and uninstall. It was frustrating tho I have to admit.
I've had PB false positive in APB ages ago and since that time I tend to shut down all apps, kill various processes etc. Better safe than sorry and I know that BE like every other client side anticheat can flag unrelated things as hack.
I can't wait but at the same time it's that meh moment of killing any not needed program in task manager before starting the game just like during PB times.
