What is different from the recent MCOC exploit and this one:

In Mcoc some cases were handled with bans and Tftf only had rewards removal for everyone (even though it affected alliance events).
No rant, no rage post, just pure curiosity about your process defining punishments.

The most recent abuse in MCOC wasn't an exploit that allowed people to complete difficult content easier, it was an exploit that allowed people to accumulate a huge amount of rewards in an unlimited fashion. The thread discussing it mentioned people exploiting it 200 times or more. In every game I'm aware of, that would be considered an exploit of a far higher order than one that just allows easier completion of difficult content.
In fact, on the hierarchy of exploits, an exploit that allowed an unlimited amount of high value rewards to be generated ranks second only to an exploit that allowed a player to take control of the live servers.
Thank you for clarifying. Apparently I skimmed the Transformers instance to quickly. I was under the impression that it was a more similar instance. Regardless, I am not disagreeing with the action taken necessarily, I was just pointing out that I'm sure Kabam will have a clever way to answer the question. Thank you for clarifying the comparison for me though.
HOW MANY PEOPLE EXPLOITED THIS?!
If so, my theory would be that MCOC has a larger playerbase so the game wouldn't be killed off by mass cheater bans. Transformers is newer and they don't want to risk losing their players by banning outright, especially if it's a first offense or not as bad as the MCOC exploit.
That's not an exploit. His Attack moves faster. That's already been explained.
Secondly, the effects of these two exploits varied wildly, and can't really be compared. One allowed for a small set of people to gain an advantage in one event, while the other allowed a set of people to claim an unprecedented set of rewards that other players will have to work very hard to receive.
The two situations should not be compared. Closing this thread down now, because there is no more to discuss on that subject.
