As a player who is completely full of five lines and has spent a lot of money, the inconsistent attitude of this official made me chill. You yourself said in the announcement that the custom mode gives players the same experience, so as a low-level player, you will definitely choose to fight with ai to upgrade your weapon, so that you can fight with high-level players in matching, instead of killing them unilaterally. Any gains made by players in the custom mode are promised in advance. As for experience bonus, you can choose a lot of Zhang Jiacheng to use together long before the custom mode comes out.
Up to now, all the hard work of the player in the custom mode has not affected other players, but only improved their level rapidly (double bonus of the gold coin team, is it also regarded as using bugs? ) Even if you go back on your word and choose to file back, at least give us back the gold coins, bonus cards and silver cards consumed by our players. We didn’t take advantage of bugs, and we also spent time and money.
It sounds like you broke the EULA by exploiting a known flaw in the game. In most of the world, but not all I guess, exploiting/cheating in a video game is dishonorable and can result in punishment including wiping progress and even a permanent ban, which the Devs have already said might happen in the future if cheating continues.
Did you actually believe that your cheating was “hard work”?
dont why most people would even want to play vs ai?
i enjoy grinding vs real players
But, even if you play the normal squads mode. Most of the time you’re going up against bots rather than real people 
so the base game already has this PvE element to it.
There are people such as myself who do like this PvE element tho. Just bc you find PvE boring and prefer PvP, that doesn’t mean that everyone else will as well.
i say again .wo do not cheat.all these are said by enlisted including playing in custom。close your mouth
If the devs didn’t feel that you exploited the game in some way, you would not have had progress rolled back. They have already stated this in this forum. And here is what one of the developers had to say about your exact situation.
It’s possible that, while using the MGs was not a violation, they detected something else in several of your games in custom lobbies. They said that the rollback to to before the time that the exploitation was detected, so any progression from “normal” gameplay during that time period would also be lost.
Easy explained. The Issue was known and some were well aware what they were doing instead of report it. So progression wipe is the logical step. If you did report the bug you probably werent wiped.
There is no “bug” here. Most players got punished no because of the use of bugs, but simply because they play regularly and earn a lot of XP, and it’s their own decision to bring CBs with XP in their announcement, so most players are just following the rules but still got punished. The devs regret their decisions, and they don’t want to admit that.
“Our mechanism is not broken, it is the fault of our players” — Devs’ logic.
“It’s not our fault that we exploited and broke EULA” -people who exploited the game
How is playing with bots == cheating? We already play with bots 80% of the matches.
So what’s the bug then? Players get exp by killing enemies? That’s not a bug, that was clearly announced by the developers.
They mean the purposeful farming of bots to earn ridiculous amounts of exp
Why yes, I do purposefully take my Mk1 Grant and press LMB to shoot the enemy to earn ridiculuos amounts of exp. It has always been the case. What’s your point?
Playing with bots is normal, but interfering with their pathfinding is exploiting the game mechanics.
This seems to be the only reason that players progression was rolled back.
What data do you have access to that supports the idea that “most players” who received a rollback weren’t guilty of exploiting AI behavior for personal gain? It’s a bold claim, you’d better be able to prove it.
An enormous percentage of people (yes, including me) use tanks all the time to gain advantage over the AI, which won’t change their path even if they were killed on certain spot last time. HE spam IS a thing. This is how AI works in this game. Maybe someone should fix sandbags and AI instead of blatantly ripping the players of their time and effort?
At least most players I know, including me, we are just setting up MG42 or FG42 with ammo bags and kill bots as usual, except that it’s all stupid bots no other players. The xp gained with premium account is around 20-25k per round. If you consider this as exploiting I think our discussion should end here.
So killing bots with MG42 is an action of exploiting the game now?
if you abused the AI’s questionable pathfind to easily grind up levels then yes it’s exploiting
Well I didn’t, I am just shooting the soviets trying to cross the bridge in Berlin
