Why is it agianst the rules to use a chain sliced gun. If anything the smuggler should get in trouble for chain slicing not the pistoleer for using the bad ass gun he is presented with. Then again i am one of those who thinks an exploit is just a reward for finding a bug in the game.
There is virtually no way that the customer would not know the weapon was exploited. This exploit has been fixed by the way. This exploitalso allowed for 0 encumberance 100% effective armor. If a customer handed over a 1.8 speed 206 damage FWG5 and got back a 0.0 speed 900 damage FWG5,they had to have knownthe weapon is exploited. The max 35% speed or damage slice won't get anything near what most of the multi-sliced weapons had for stats. From my understanding, it was very obvious to SOEthe before and after stats as well as the number of times the item was sliced.
To "chain" or "multi" slice a weapon, multiple smugglers were required and the items had to change hands quite a bit. This particular exploit wasn't really a bug but a very determined attempt to not slice as intended.
I don't think there is an automatic reporting of excessive damage. But when you know Last Ditch is a 6x multiplier and youget hit for 2500 points in PvPwith an AP0 weapon while standing....something is just not right.
