if it were up to me...
should be easy to check
query all opened redulites
sort them by avatar
flag doubles
set tolerance to e.g. 100 ped (for those who tried but did not abuse the exploit)
set penalty for abusers:
- remove all pulled weapons due to abuse & publically auction them (as with blocked accounts once)
- remove all tokens due to abuse
- remove all tokens account as penalty
- ban 6 months
- 25% total skills reduction penalty

Good deflect.Seems like people are still forgetting that this was an issue for 10 minutes - So all of this talk about massive exploits etc (we are talking about less than 10k tokens that are possible to gain from Redulite - To lazy to check right now)
But even so - Lets look at your scenario for a second.
Avatar finishes redulite in a few days and for whatever reason abandons the mission - Maybe just like it like that, maybe OCD but he abandons for whatever reason that is none of our business.
He still wants to continue grinding for tokens and boxes (Like many of us have, hell no if I stopped after redulite was over)
Then one day a popup comes when he enter instance, asks him to pick mission. He picks Redulite since that's what makes sense to him, or maybe just completely random.
Goes back to grinding - And now he is being labeled an exploiter, cheater or whatever.
Stop getting so worked up over this - Pretty sure the amount of players that did this in bad faith can be counted on one hand - And even these will gain about 5-10% of what is needed to make a pull from the vendor.
Nothing like this happened during last 2 mayhems that I'm aware of and I'm pretty sure I was fairly high on the activity board for those, so I would have noticed.
Lets talk about something more important and interesting - What do we think will be the next uber weapon to enter the vendor and what lvl - Maybe lvl 200 Laser HG

Good deflect.
What brought it to light was an issue for 45 minutes. The underlining problem is a mystery and the public is demanding answers and with good reason considering the history of Mindark and the lot of players that continually abuse - like the alt/player that got a 2nd mod nano - just as an example.
It was more than 10 minFrom my understanding it was just 10 minutes - I saw it only once at least, but in instance for more than 45 minutes at a time anyways
I do agree - punishments towards those who abuse bugs for their own gain - Just saying that in this case I don't believe this is as big as some people here wants it to be, talking about people doing redulite 8 times etc and having to go through earlier mayhems etc etc.
For me it's not an issue in any matter, since I still have the original mission open - Mostly since I wanted to keep track of how many points I have made and since I'm tracking what time of day gives more points than others - Knowledge is power in this game
Speaking of a alt avatar taking out mod nano, not really going into that tbh.
Let me rephrase a bit, english is not my native languageIt was more than 10 min
we have complained about macros and bots but MA doesnt do anythinghilarious how ppl complaining that someone may have taken advantage of “feature” which allowed them to do another redulite mission as if this hurts their chances of taking item out of vendor but they are not complaining how they take advantage of ffffff macro having far greater advantage over those ppl who dont do afk hunting. hypocrites
Haha, so that's how they "fixed" the bugEntered mayhem instance for the very first time today, no mission popup to choose?
and throw stones at them?Don’t forget they should all be named and shamed.
Shall I bring my own or use yours?and throw stones at them?
We are aware of the issue. We'll investigate the situation and act accordingly and take necessary action in the case that it is needed.
I am not finished Redulite but wanted to start Defense and couldn't do it because I can't activate the control panel. Maybe they tried to fix it and broke something?Mayhem defense is broken as well after Redulite completes.
I can enter but nothing happens. Not sure if this is because I waited to finish the redulite first or not.
i dont see the top 10 player replay to this post !
they use this bug?
sometimes i wonder if any of the 50+ employees at MA enters the game to test anything of if they are all counting the PEDs.....
