I thought this bug was fixed. No?

If you get caught by a CSR, claiming ignorance will unlikely do you any good.

I fail to see how bad programming is an exploit. Nothing wrong with that, keep firing away.

Where are these geo caves, are they the same place as the geo lab's? if so how far in do you have to go to get the crazed genozians, I only got in part way before my mate who is a TKM got killed, then I got killed by a enhanced kwi on the way out, I only saw 1 crazed genosian the whole time

this is not an exploit it is the use of the skill as it is in place. I saw someone doing this same thing and a friend sent message to CSR... was replied "The player is using the skill and while the skill is not working properly they are not exploiting"

just wanted to see if anyone else got the mass exp at the geo caves. inside the door the other night was a steady spawn of crazed geos. i fully buffed my self, laid in the corner and proceded to spam flushing 2 and hit 20-30k exp per MINUTE, thats over a million exp an hour i finished off sniping 4, concealment 2,3,4 and counter sniping 4 in just under 2 hrs this was the best place by far to gain exp once you hit flushing 2.

I fail to see how that is an exploit. If they programmed it that way, they programmed it that way - how are you supposed to interpret what you can and cannot do if the code doesn't explicitly tell you? He found a great way to make XP, I don't see a problem with that. If there is, fix the code. It's that simple.

I still fail to see how that is exploitation. How are we supposed to know when they have written poor code? To me, that seems like just plain great strategy. Sure, I could sit around and second-guess myself all day long "am I exploiting? Oh no am I exploiting??" but what's the point? It's their code, and it shouldn't be our problem to have to sit there and guess about these sorts of things.
Ok look you MAY be able to claim ignorance once, but if upon KNOWING that is a bug and you continue to do so that is exploiting. You would then be using a game mechanic that is not working properly to gain an adavantage for yourself, look it up it is in the ROC that you click I Agree on everytime you play the game.
