Should Exploiters be Punished for MW3 Devs’ Mistakes? Bowling Answers

4.3
The infamous prestige token glitch is coming to an end with the next Modern Warfare 3 patch (1.08), but this particular glitch has raised an interesting debate between the “abusers” and MW3′s creative strategist, Robert Bowling.

Robert Bowling believes that a fix is included in “the next title update for MW3″ to rectify the prestige token glitch, but with all the bans that Infinity Ward issued, this issue definitely left its mark. Some players, who admittedly abused the glitch, are arguing with Robert Bowling that since the team behind MW3 dropped the ball in terms of game design, the exploiters shouldn’t be punished for it. Bowling explained “we will fix it [prestige token glitch]. However, it’s important “we make it clear that its not okay to exploit, even while we’re fixing.” One angry player questioned Bowling on the merit of banning players for exploiting a design flaw, Bowling reiterated players are ”not banned for there being a glitch, banned for abusing it.” In regard to the argument of how can the security team hand out bans for problems in the game itself, Bowling explained why it’s not his (security team’s) fault, “unless I came over to your console and got you prestige tokens that you knew you didn’t earn. Then no, I promise you, I am not.”

xsuperxsmashx I love it when people use glitches and then cry when they get banned, makes me so happy lol

You're ignorant go kill yourself.


Really bro? Your response tells me you're one of those little kids who cry about getting banned even though they know they would eventually face some kind of 'punishment'. I don't know if you realize this, but you're the ignorant person here.

ohh yeah i'm ignorant and I don't care if I get banned I just hate the fact that little 12 post scuba go and comment on stuff that is stupid, they just get on here to troll because they have no life at home and are hated at school. On the other hand I'm 20 years old and a Computer Software Engineer at UVA so.... U MAD?


I'm 24 and an IT Infrastructure Architext so.... U MAD?

Your both sad...

Tactic So he said he is banning the abusers? That is a load of ****. I had -273 tokens and got banned. That didn't make me mad. What made me mad was I had 3 friends with over -1000 tokens and they are completely fine. WTF is that about?
they are still in the process of banning people and everyone that abused it will most likely be banned before that and the update should be out by the end of the month
