LOL, I got members here sending me hate messages because I agree with this ban and highly doubt there were accidental banninngs smh

I don't want to start anything, but I just wanted to say that I messaged Hustlin and I didn't intend for those to be hateful.

Hustlin', I always liked you. I still do even though you made me a little mad with how rude and dismissive you were being.

I didn't cheat the system and I never once knowingly did anything that awarded me free XP or stubs.

So, I apologize for the comments I messaged you. You seem like a good dude and I've always appreciated your helpful input on this forum.

Edit: Also, if you are getting hate messages, that sucks and I want to let you know that I had nothing to do with that. I haven't talked to anyone else about this except for two other people here and they're both very mature and very respected members.

In my eyes the greed of companies to charge you for a game and then charge you for "cards" and all th micro transaction things is the issue here.... Greed feeds greed.

I have never and will never get involved with investing real money in cards that mean nothing when you can be playing a franchise mode.

The FIFA scandal to do with a similar mode shows that companies are just as bad as these users.

Unfortunately too many people make money and can make money from modes like this so they will always exist.

I actually agree 100%. I'm paying $60 for the game, selling stubs for in-game and online purchases is just greed and another way for these companies to make more money off the consumer.

And what's wrong with that??? Is that not the job of a company? To make as much money as possible.

People knowingly cheated and abused the system. I have no sympathy for their plight. You reap what you sow.

It's another revenue stream. I have no problems with them doing it in this fashion. Making money is their goal. I simply don't partake in these game modes. They don't interest me.

While some might have and likely did, I didn't. So, I doubt I'm the only one that applies to.

I find it difficult to buy that people who did something egregious enough to get banned had no idea why they were doing was wrong. Maybe it's just me.

Alot of you guys in here are blindly defending SDS decision on this without knowing the facts. I am all for banning cheaters but there is no way thousands knew about this and kept it a secret. Also 1500 or so were banned and thats only 1 pct so you are telling me 150k knew about the exploit and kept it a secret and/or decided to not further exploit it?

I have had tons of friends who got banned and they have done nothing but help the community to find bugs n glitches earlier this year. I know for a fact they did nothing.

To those that did willingly exploit it then they deserve it. But I know alot got wrongfully banned and I hope SDS is willing to admit if they are wrong.

Thats all i got to say....

Have you received any info regarding your ban (length, how many times or number of stubs they believe you gained through exploit)?

I can somewhat understand that, but our understandings of things does not dictate reality.

If you're interested, here (http://www.operationsports.com/forum...0&postcount=36) is a comment where I addressed this in another thread. Here (http://www.operationsports.com/forum...2&postcount=39) is a brief follow-up comment.

I can only speak for myself, but the answer is no. The only notification I got was when attempting to click into the Diamond Dynasty section of The Show was a vague network error pop-up message that read: "You are banned: cheating, abuse of the game's points system, etc."

Interesting. To me it's still a tough sell that you'd get banned after a few cancelled transactions. If that's truly what happened then I hope your situation is rectified. Truly I do. From my perspective and I am a cynic, it's hard for me to buy that's how it went down for so many people.

Well I hope in your case if the bans are mostly coming from this cancellation exploit then you may have only been caught up in the mess a couple of times and the ban will be very short term. Not knowing the number of times the data is saying your user id exploited the market is tough and understandably frustrating.

Yea if you did this unwillingly (like 1 time) you will get your account back. Just give SDS some time and they will fix the situation. It's been a day at most they are probably being flooded with emails about this. Or you can tweet Ramone and ask him to check your account and see how many times you abused and how many stubs you got doing it.

Also I'm with Bkrich if you are getting millions of stubs from this you should know something is up. You can't persuade me to say you had no idea how you got that many subs.

I completely understand. I appreciate the kind and mature words.

I hate the idea of wasting time trying to defend myself online, but my character and integrity is something that I take very seriously. I know how skeptical people are about these things and rightfully so. I also know that a lot of people will automatically assume I'm lying because almost everyone does. That's not me though. Lying is one thing that disappoints and angers me more than just about anything besides acts of violence against other people. I have been put in some awful situations because I won't lie to people. If anything, I just hope that San Diego Studios investigates this further in the hopes of preventing people from being banned like this in the future when they either did nothing wrong or did something that they have no idea of.
