I was attacked by a BH today. He started with an Improved Underhand Shot, then followed with 9 Critical Shots in a row, all 2 seconds apart. I fought him for awhile, but after seeing he was exploiting, I stasised him and took off. So I submitted a ticket. this is a known exploit and fits the definition of harrasment according to the ticket window.
I received an email back from CSR-TonyS that basically says, we have no way of verifying the situation so they appreciate my understanding.
So what can CSR's verify, what logs do they keep? If someone is reported as exploiting, can't they atleast start tracking their combat log to verify they are exploiting? Or do they just not care about their customer base and only really care about the next expansion they want to sell us.

They can't verify anything, they don't log anything, they don't accept anything as evidence. They are just there to say dumb things.

LAG etc can cause the times to look different from what they are, so they can't verify because of that, plus, I'm doubting they get combat logs... they only store chat logs if you /report

I don't doubt lag effects the combat logs. But 9 straight Critical Shots, all 2 seconds apart, is more than can be accounted for with lag. It is a known bug, and when it involves BH & Jedi is considered harrasment according to SOE. If I had lost XP, it would have been tough, so sorry.
But atleast there is a new expansion coming out.

Because no matter what, things like Critical Shot and Power Attack have huge timers on them that you can not get around, speed buffs, speed capped clothes, whatever. Doesn't matter. I can Power Attack back-to-back with 2-3 second gaps (not MLS even), and this should not be happening. It is a known bug.

Poland,
Do you spam one special over and over? Or do you cycle attacks because that is the way to increase damage output? I'm guesing you like everyone else cycles because that is the way to get more shots off instead of waiting for timers.
He had a full set of RIS armor, AB sliced 75%, a good carbine and was only using 1 attack. He knew exactly what he was doing, cheating.

oo well i think that a 2 sec attack is fine because once u get to 3 4 sec its bad i think at mls i should be able to attack with bodyhit leghit and headhit with in 1 to 2 secs

Yes, Poland you can attack in 1-2 seconds with 3 different attacks. This guy was using the exact same attack, an attack with a long cooldown timer, over and over.

I've had obvious exploiters and them talking about doing it in spatial, and filed a ticket on it. CSRs don't do anything about exploiters who kill PvP even when they have a confesion nowdays.

This has been in CU since the beginning... its very easy to do and currently is the best means to do the most damage, it goes both ways, Bounty hunters do it with critical shot, and Jedi do it with Power attack. I have seen this going on for a long time now old news... as far as calling a exploit on it is dead weight because I have seen so many people doing it it's more of an issue of getting this fixed rather than putting forward the effort to /ban a player fordoing it because so many do it already... knowing how slow SOE is on these types of bugs it will probably remain in game for a really long time... sorry to say guys but this CU was not exactly the crowning achievement for this game as many have noticed in it's even worse and buggy state then was pre-cu. Enjoy the sploits while you can
I don't like it but I may as well just give in to the fact that this as well as many other jedi bugs wont be fixed for a long time... just get used to it... even posting on these boards isn't really helping as much as it is just complaints that almost go unnoticed 99% of time... you guys can't deny this. The only time they have listened is when the XP change and ludicrous amount of people started canceling accounts... that's about the only thing they really feel is important, too keep you here.
