    Dear Ubisoft, I used the glitch

    Hello,

    I see there are a lot of people angry with those of us who used the glitch. I just want to talk about it real quick.

    Quick note: I didn't use it against other players. Only in PVE.

    1st - I've been playing The Division like a full-time job for the last 2 1/2 years and love the game. This is the first time I've used an exploit in the game. I used it to get the new exotic (The Big Horn), clothes, and backpack trophy from the Legendary missions. It was hilarious, but I was also confused... we played that legendary over & over for hours and 99.5% of the loot was garbage and the mission was still difficult. There's absolutely no reason to ever play the legendaries except to brag. In the first game, once a week, you would reward us with an exotic cache per legendary mission. Sometimes we could even get exotic gear pieces to drop from the legendary boss or for completing the mission. You get very close to nothing from legendaries in this game.

    2nd - I wanted to use the boss farm glitch yesterday but it was already patched. I wanted to use it for the Lady Death. I personally believe the world boss farm took a huge nosedive since the first game. I loved going on a route around the world to farm the 14 or so bosses. There was a chance for Exotic/Classified gear and it was fun running around the entire map for these bosses. I didn't mind the respawn timer since I was allowed to kill all bosses then run a mission & come back. Now... now I have to set a timer on my phone for 30 minutes with EACH boss kill. Because of this... there's no reason to go to the other bosses around the world. I go to the same location every time because it's convenient. But 30 minutes between each boss is ridiculous. It was 1 hour in the first game, but I got to farm all the bosses; that was fine with me.

    3rd - I understand player's concerns about the loot glitchers received being used in conflict. It wouldn't be a concern if normalization worked the same as it did in last stand or skirmish in the first game. EVERYONE would have max rolled stats.

    In a lot of respects the first game (in the end) is better than Division 2. There was definitely improvement in content, but no improvement in execution or existing methods. Unnecessary changes were made to things that weren't broken.

    In conclusion, if you feel you need to ban me for using a cheat without a "game genie" or "gameshark" or going to cheatcc.com, then so be it. I'll be upset because, despite my complaints, the division is still my favorite game, but just like everything else, I'll move on.
    If it makes you feel better, I felt extremely cheated preordering & purchasing the Ultimate Edition on good faith just to be backhanded in the face afterward.

    Ps. Now that world difficulty can be changed, you need to add target loot or something to classified missions. I've played each once... there's no reason to return.

    Overall the game is great.

    It really does not matter which excuses you are trying to put forward. There is no need for explanations. Everyone _understands_ that there is an incentive for using exploits, just like everyone understands that there is an incentive for (say) keeping the money from a wallet you found, instead of returning it to its owner. That doesn't make it the right thing to do. Explaining your reasons does in no way change the fact that you abused an exploit for your personal gain.

    Now, you say that you did it in a way that did not affect other players. Personally I would be fine with giving a milder form of punishment to people who did it this way, e.g. just taking away the illegtimately gotten loot without getting a ban. But the problem is that it may be hard to actually prove that you always played solo throughout the entire time. And without the necessity of proof, any call for mitigating circumstances is moot, as everyone would just claim "Oh, I only used it for solo".

    You apparently want others to understand your position. I never did _not_ understand your position. It's just that the actions that followed your position were not only scummy, but also in clear violation of the license you agreed to.

    That wasn't my intent at all but if that's what you got from it, ok. Also, wouldn't it be "ky" as "yourself" is one word?

    What do you mean? Did the higher difficulties in the manhunt give unique rewards? I just completed them on normal.

    I didn't play solo, but I'm not going to give up the friends I did it with. I'd be fine with losing the loot, like I said I only kept the exotic & 2 mods. I'm sure I could've beaten it without glitch, this was just... faster. And I understand people bringing up morals comparing it to real life... but it's a game. This glitch has nothing to do with people's pockets or hearts. I didn't have sex with my wife's mom, steal someone's $50,000 car they worked for, or download music without paying for it. I got 3 pieces of loot, a backpack trophy, and some clothes. Lol
