This is no different, if there was indeed a bug to take advantage of in the first day, which I think there was since even I had nothing but dummy accounts as targets for the first day. As soon as it switched to regular accounts I stopped logging in even. Even then I was done really, farming takes too damn long and SWFC is just way more fun.

If there was a bug, and people took advantage of it, that is cheating in my books, claims of 'just playing the game normally' do not apply, in order to claim that you had to be unaware of the bug, but that is highly unlikely of the people in this forum.

The sad part for me is that everyone knew about this previously and chastised greyfox for it, and rightly so. Anyone that then took advantage of this bug is a textbook hypocrite.

Teaming up in the chatroom is not cheating because you are not violating the way the game was *meant* to be played. Taking advantage of a bug clearly violates that. Big difference. I dont understand what your talking about here Ran, I'm starting to get the feeling you are talking about a different loophole or bug than what is being discussed. Its not like there was a glitch that some people accidentally or otherwise "found". We are talking about the matchmaking being broken and pairing us with dead decks. How could anyone avoid that? I mean were we supposed to say ok the game is broken today, its too easy, lets not play?
