Exploiters in Armored Warfare’s open beta are finding out their activities aren’t welcome this week.
My.com Content Manager Silentstalker says that “a bug on [the] NA server […] allowed the players to rack up to cca a week of Premium Time (as well as all the other rewards) per hour by following certain steps intentionally. You could do it once by accident. Seven times… not so much.” In closing a thread on the topic, he said, “Exploiting will not be forgiven or rewarded.”
Legit players aren’t mollified, however, because instead of banning exploiters, the studio is simply suspending accounts from the rewards program for time equal to the reward acquisition time. As our tipster explained it, “If Johnny ran the exploit seven days, he would be banned from the rewards program for seven days.”
Ironically, the beta tester who first found and reported the bug was also apparently swept up in the account punishments.
