They also used exploits on their official stream (Destiny)

if they punish ppl, they will be the biggest hypocrites.

There is a low level paramedic-themed backpack that came with the season pass. It grants you +2 med kits (carry total goes from 5 to 7). You can equip this back at a restock station, get your 7 med kits, then switch to your better backpack.

Likewise, there is a low-level Police backpack that gives +75% ammo capacity. You can do the same exploit.

There is a gas mask perk called "rehabilitated." It would heal you @ 2% per second when taking special kinds of damage (shock, burning, flashbang). Problem was, once it was proc'd it never stopped, so you could flashbang yourself and never have to use a med kit again, b/c you were constantly regenerating health.

There is a chest piece with a perk called reckless. it states that you deal 13% more damage, but you will receive 10% more damage. This chest piece is broken, I allows you to deal more damage, and TAKE LESS DAMAGE.

MASSIVE employees have used all of these exploits on their official Twitch stream.

Additionally, Massive's community manager got called out yesterday for playing with glitchers on his stream. One of the people he was playing with was also streaming, and ppl could see his gear when he was swapping out. He had dozens of 240 items, which is not possible less than a week after Incursions dropped. Which means the ppl their official community manager was streaming with had used exploits to get gear.

I personally don't care that someone was able to game the system that was in place (as long as it doesn't involve hacking). But for them to insinuate that something might happen to these ppl when the developers are publicly guilty of it themselves is hilarious and infuriating.

I predict that they do nothing, and are only trying to scare ppl into not doing it anymore until they can patch it out
