The development team will start enforcement actions against accounts which committed intentional glitch abuse after this week. The developers confirmed that the exploit emerged from a design defect however its usage caused major damage to the game economy and player social interactions.
The team required the investigation time because they needed to complete their work with both fairness and accuracy. The developers used internal data for report validation because they wanted to protect players who suffered from the bug which happened by chance. The investigation studied four primary area.
- The process of matching player reports with server data.
- The team verified the exploit usage for all players which operated the entire system.
- The investigation found all unintentional occurrences which happened by accident.
- The research studied how the game economy and competitive balance were impacted.
The penalties will depend on how severe and frequent and intentional the exploit usage was. The ARC Raiders team defined three levels of enforcement which function as the main enforcement system.
Low severity cases will receive warnings because the abuse was limited to what it should be. All Coins connected to exploit activities will be removed from the accounts which engage in such behavior.
