LOL i dont know anyone that have ever been caught, but seriously how bad can it be for a first time offense? Also how can they punish users of this exploit, while there are people running around with 2 professions?

[simonbull]

Because the 2 profession bug can happen accidently. The expertise exploit has to be attempted... it's INCREDIBLY unlikely that somebody could do that accidently. I mean, theoretically, it's *possible* but it's INCREDIBLY unlikely. Also, an honest player can't fix the 2 profession bug - I have a friend who reported it themselves and weren't fixed for over 2 months. The expertise can be fixed on your own.

Is this still working? I use a wireless network and I cant get it to work by just disconnecting to the network.

This was posted in the offical forums. So be careful. Dont want to lose people over this.

Yes its still working.

[Expertise Exploit]
Customer Service is aware of an exploit that can result in the accumulation of excessive Expertise Abilities beyond that which the game normally allows. A fix for this exploit is on the way; however we are currently logging the Expertise system in order to track any characters that may be taking advantage of this exploit. Customer Service strongly suggests that any player that may have used this exploit should visit a Profession Counselor in Mos Eisley, Theed, or Coronet in order to reset your Expertise to normal levels.

lol, If they "fixed" it in this mornings patch, then whoever suggested logging off your spoited toon in a house packup of your other toon worked like a charm. I still had full expertise on my BH and everything. I wonder if I was able to dodge the bullet on this one....... I guess now I'll just have to be extra carefull, mhhm maybe i'll have to lay low for awhile

It hasn't been fixed yet, notes just said "A fix for this exploit is on the way"

Exactly, not fixed yet lol

[decand]

we had a player event on my server where all the major pvpers were there and we all had a system message come up stating that they were watching us about such "exploit"

[masont7]

Europe-Chimaera has'nt had a server side message yet *suprised* but i did have a csr log into my account today , had reset my expertise by then tho

[erwinn07]

So how does it work then, If im not logged in, they can still get to my toon? So what your telling me is I need to have a little visit with the expertise councilor?

Hello,



This email is to inform you that your Star Wars Galaxies account has been suspended for a period of three days (72 hours) due to exploiting the Expertise system to gain more Expertise for your character than the game allows.



When your suspension is up you will have three days in order to manually respect your expertise in-game or face further disciplinary actions.



Here are the steps to respec your Expertise:



Visit a Profession Counselor at the Starports in Mos Eisley (Tatooine), Theed (Naboo), or Coronet (Corellia).
Begin a conversation with the Profession Counselor and select the following conversation choices:
“Resetting my expertise sounds interesting, but how much will it cost me?”
“That sounds good, I’ll take it.”
Your Expertise points will then be reset.
NOTE: Your Expertise abilities may still appear in your Commands menu. If this happens, please use /sit and /logout to completely log your character out of the game for fifteen to twenty minutes to allow the Expertise abilities to clear.


Please be aware that accounts found in violation of this exploit after the three day grace period for correction will have additional actions taken towards the account. This exploit is now logged and checked on a daily basis.
