When the Exploit was fixed, this should of been done. But yes I'm all for this.

If a global reset does exactly what it says on the tin and eliminates the exploit plus wouldn't cause a plethora of other issues, I'm all for it.

I thought the way it had originally been done was, everyone got a stat reset before the update then the update. Meaning that you still had a day or so to get the stats bugged again. If there still are pesky cheaters out there with this then shame on them. I'm all for this simply for the fact that I can change my loadout without having to do a stat hack. But I'm fairly certain everyone's stats have been reset at some point. It's only been like 2 years since the fix.

Couldn't care less, seeing how someone utilizing this exploit would be pitifully weak in one area. Also, I wouldn't enjoy having my stats reset and then having to use up another stat hack that I had in my inventory already, opposed to getting a new one based on how the current system works. Perhaps every character would have a stat hack mailed to them instead of just magically beamed to their inventory?

Why, why do people still complain about exploits? This is the matrix! Exploits are everywhere, the system isn't perfect and some players, like myself, can easily fight in pvp without any good clothes or exploits.

I never could understand why exploiting was a problem, though I don't do it, I've faced off with many players that have done it to me. And guess what, about half of them I still owned. It's a matter of tactics, for some people, exploiting is their only way to win, for others, like myself, having fun is my win. But this globle restat or whatever, I suppose if it's needed then go for it, although I perfer when someone is exploiting ageinst me, I like the challenge. SMILEY

Some funny reactions to this thread...to sum up...

To spot this exploit...this person usually won't enter tourneys so they have not had to stat hack....

They will not put themselves in a postition to be weak as far was the stats they are low in.

It's not an end of the world exploit,but it is annoying since it could have been so easily fixed yet never was..

Whether this is or is not still a huge issue or whatever, if the possibility remains then I agree with the reset idea SMILEY

As long as the reset doesnt open up more issues or holes then great, sure it will be a minor inconvenience but if they say they will do it (and they should) then you can make a note of your stats before they do it just so you dont lose anything by doing the reset SMILEY

Surely the Character database is accessible by the Dev's? How difficult would a search be for Characters with attributes >30? Find them, slap wrists, set that attribute to 30 and refund the difference.

Although a complete reset would probably be a lot quicker and easier on the Dev's.

Its probably not that difficult Im guessing but I can see why resetting all of us would simply be easier and far less hassle for the devs.

If you have proof someone has stats above 30 then report them to CS.

Unfortunately there is no way of actually proving anything. We can suspect but it could just be someone who Buffs or Tb's a lot......

Unless there is some major reason why not to do it? You did it back when CR2 was launched. This just eradicates any chance of this problem ever happening again.

I've seen 3 players on vector today that look like they have exploited stats but how do we prove it 9mm? we can't see rolls so it's all guessing in cr2..
