You have that backwards.
Until they are proven guilty they are presumed innocent.
At first Sony assumed they were guilty. It appears now Sony is attempting to prove their guilt.

How did the exploit work. 2. How are you sure that it could not be accidentally triggered. 3. That, if the glitch could be accidentally triggered, that the sweep accounted for this. * SDS says it is 100% sure its glitch cannot be accidentally triggered. ** Many credible posters that have been banned claimed they did not know of the exploit and did not intentionally trigger it. Most posters who prefer a witch hunt simply overlook that within thousands of transactions a few random stubs here and there are not going to be detected. It's not like we hire an accountant to keep a ledger of our stubs, etc. *** According to SDS, only 1% of the "exploiters" got banned which is 1,500. That means 150,000 players intentionally used this exploit, yet not one of them ever posted about it. Of course, I say "intentionally" because SDS claims it is "100%" sure that the exploit can only be triggered "intentionally." Cardinalbird5 revealed that one of his friends was told a transaction for 200 stubs was in violation. Think about that. Are you telling me that anyone that had access to what they believed was an iron-clad exploit would pull a 200 stub transaction out of it? Silly. It seems pretty obvious the glitch had been triggered accidentally - yet, SDS refuses to acknowledge or believe it. I think any rational view of this situation would include the simple fact that given the numbers, it is clear the exploit was triggered by tens of thousands or more people UNintentionally. I don't care how cynical you are, I am not going to believe for a minute that there are 150,000 users out there who would intentionally cheat (and have it remain quiet). That is basically what SDS is saying - and I find that patently absurd.

Thank you.

Is there a source for this number? I don't believe SDS ever said this. They told one guy that he's was in the top 1% of exploiters. The 1,500 number came from someone else.

This game for PS3 and PS4 combined has sold 640,000 copies wordwide. It doesn't seem plausible that 150,000 different users would trigger an exploit that supposedly isn't very easy to trigger.

@redsoxforevur @ baseballsim Okay, then i am a cheater, because i am trade cards on the PS4 over 3 Month only with the sense to earn stubbs. I thought, this is the sense from the marktplace. @jaytal6 Correct!!! You say: """"This whole thing was a mistake made by SDS."""" Why does SDS not says, that we only can trade cards we need dircectly? OK, it is not allowed to use the marktplace to earn stubbs, then i need 10000€ for a big team. Thank you, i understand.

This thread is going to be an instant classic.

From cheating and exploits to SDS conspiracy theories, this thread has it all.

Stay tuned!

And not one person has confessed that they were guilty of doing it.

So I guess SDS is falsely banning everyone right? Even the guys that did it 30+ times and exploited to get over 3 million in stubs?

Right??

On a side note, I decided to play a game of MLB earlier after not playing for a couple of weeks. Ten minutes in to my session, my internet goes down for the first time in a year and is still down as we speak. It's hard to speculate why my internet has gone down. It's just weird.

Oh man. I really hope you aren't trying to say Sony/SDS were responsible for your Internet going down....

Yea this is the thing. Has anybody even said "Well yea I did it"

And for the multiple small transactions being feasible...maybe the people who were banned took a page out of Office Space...

I would love to see the specifics of it all. I'm still waiting on the specific number of users who were banned.
