You really don't get it, do you? Posting exploits lets people who don't know about the exploit claim that they are just using the controls, when in fact they are using the controls to exploit solely because someone told them how to do it. They never would have thought to use the controls that way if they hadn't seen it on a website, and people troll websites all day long looking for exploits, especially for PlanetSide, because it's the best online combat game.

Besides, Hamma will surely kick your ass if you decide to push the point and make any exploits public.

As for the devs, you have as little chance of moving them to action by posting exploits as you do by mailing them dead skunks. It makes you look like a whiny little bitch and quite possibly a stinking exploiter.

The view that because they programmed it, you are justified in using it however you please is totally wrong. By your logic, you could use your mail client to send millions of emails to the same person, because the program doesn't prevent it. The law calls it spam, an exploit, and you sure as hell will get busted for it. The same is true with PlanetSide. You can use the chat window to send obscene remarks to a player, which the program allows for, but it's an illegal use of the software and forbidden. Whatever the devs decide is an exploit, whether or not the software facilitates it, is an exploit. There's no arguing with it.

If you're going to get so angry, possibly because you were denied access to information regarding an exploit that you desired to use, I suggest you calm down or play a different game. Seriously, anger is totally unjustified.
