[quote name='cali4nic8r']Seriously, Crixt, who reportedly has the most known tokens on Bioware's forums at 23k, said that he knows of people with over double his amount. I'm only sitting at mid 7k, so I'll be lucky if I get to win anything at all.[/QUOTE]
That guy had 6 different links imbedded in his image tags when I checked it. I didn't bother with using it for the first few days because it seemed wrong. As bioware allowed discussions of it in their forums, I assumed they were just not going to do anything about it.
When I saw everyone else doing it with no consequence, assuring themselves the bulk of the prizes I was working honestly for (at least semi-honest, this whole link exchange is kind of random too), the temptation was too great. It seemed they were unofficially sanctioning the method.
I'm not mad they swung the ban hammer. I just wish they would have did it earlier and made it clear they weren't supporting this.
As a side note: Even though this "exploit" has been deemed illegal now, I still don't think it should be discussed in any detail.
