It's bad for everyone, AoE users and non AoE users. I started rifleman as 0-0-0-3 thanks to some left over combat xp and at that point my best attack was flurry shot 2 just because it is AoE and geonosians are constantly spawning and usually in groups so the best xp is with AoE attacks. I like to level up in the caves becauseIknow exactly where my next mob to kill will be and there arealmost always doctors, combat medics andrifleman to train me around.But now thanks to the AoE corpse bug I get called an exploiter for using the attack that best fits the situation, and gets me the most xp even if the bug did not exist it would. I try and keep the bug under control by trying to loot every corpse to make sure all the ones I killed will dissapear. Unfortunately some people are lazy or use the bug and don't loot the corpses which means the bug makes me hit things anywhere from 2 to 10 times and there is nothing I can do about it. I have seen some master rifleman strafe shot 2 and hitting for 20k+ some doing it intentionally and some unintentionally.
Thanks to this bug I look like I am trying to exploit the bug when I would love to have it dissapear. Doctors have refused to revive me because they say I am exploiting. I like to earn my XP through skillfull playing like knowing when to run and when to stand fight, what weapon will be the most effective, what attack will be most effective etc. Earning XP thanks to a bug may seem nice at first but as soon as it's gone you will be hopeless and not have a clue how to win a fight (or just survive). If I knew the bug was going to be gone in a day I would not do any combat untill then but I enjoy this game and want to play it so I won't do this because the bug might not be gone untill publish 7 and I don't want to wait untill then to have some fun with my rifle (and power hammer for that matter).
One star me if you want, five star if you wnat but at least give a reason.
Ok I feel better now that I have let this loose
So what does everyone else think of this bug?

The sad thing is that it is well known in certain circles...however noone ever seems to pay attention to those circles and just mistake it as "omg riflemen r teh uber hax!!!111!!1!" I feel sorry for you but you may have to do things the old fashioned way and grind pikets if you want to get away from the bug or befriend a doctor down there who will help you since they know what the deal is.
I swear no matter how many times things like this is brought to light people just plug their ears, cover their eyes and pretend it doesn't exist. Same thing for the defense bug, same thing for defense stacking. No it can't be something wrong with the game mechanic it only has to do with what weapon/tag the person is using.

have an awesome link to show how obsence the AOE bug is...
it is a picture of a novice swordsman... check out the damage !!!
he was shocked.... and talked about it on the swordsman form... and they all agree the bug is not something that they want but it is also something that they can't get away from right now. Not exploiting just unfortunate.

as a master swordman i hate this bug cuz i know i can out damage anyone in that cave all the time except for master riflesmen and then that is even 50/50. But this bug is really annoying and hard to see when it is happening. i have done over 20k with this attack and it should not happen this way.
and most of the time when this bug starts is when i'm crowded by geonos and the area attack only hits one person which stinks. tis bug needs to get fixed fast.

CSRs consider it an exploit tactic i would suggest if your in an area that it is happening move off to a new area. they banned tons of folks in the force caves for this.
