FourZeroTwo and Infinity Ward issue Bans!

4.4
As of 30 minutes ago, bans were handed out to all (or most?) of those who abused the Prestige Token Exploit. This info was released on the twitter page @fourzerotwo. Don't say we didn't tell you so.
This is a direct quote:
"Witness as the #MW3 ban hammer falleth. Prestige Token exploiters banned, stat reset & removed from leaderboards."
Please take a vow of silence for all those Gamertags that got banned for 2 days.

berniers I dont think they should ban people and reset they should just fix the problem its there fault they are the ones who made the game. We making it better for them we finding all these glitches they should learn from past call of duty games. Honestly the people who bybass the tu and are able to mod the game could make a better game then them.

So wait, people exploiting a glitch = their fault?

Yes, because its their fault because they made the game.

TehNomming Dear Activision/Infinity Ward/Robert Bowling,

Honestly what you are doing is not right. If a friend comes up to you and says, "Hey man, I know how to get unlimited prestige tokens, it only takes about 5 minuets!" You're gonna f*cking take the offer. People would use this glitch/exploit to their advantage, just like the javelin/care package glitch in MW2. Nobody got the ban hammer from that, people would just keep doing it to use it to their advantage to do better in the game. Just like this glitch, so why does it have to be different then any of the others, why can't you just patch it and that be the end of it. Instead of resetting all of us completely, swinging the ban hammer, and consider us all cheaters when it's your game that you f*cked up. YOU didn't test this. Of course people are gonna use this glitch, don't be f*cking stubborn. The fact that you are doing this when it is really your fault disgusts me. It ruins my taste for the Call of Duty series. I am never going to buy another COD again if I use a fun little glitch, that doesn't affect my gameplay whatsoever because this game is "balanced and every gun has equal power." You guys at Infinity Ward think your doing something good for the Call of Duty community, you're not, you're banning a good fraction of the community because of YOU'RE game YOU created, therefore YOU created the glitch, and this whole exploit is YOU'RE fault. Of course people are going to do it. You're acting like a bunch of fools at Infinity Ward, you need to chill out realize this is your mistake and you need to patch, not BAN a fraction of the community and think this mistake will go away, no it won't, it will stay with us forever and it will stay with you forever because YOU F*CKED UP YOUR OWN GAME. Consider what your doing. Don't act like my facts are wrong just because your leader of a big company, all my statements above are correct and there is pure evidence to prove it. You're ruining the series. Just. Consider.

I'm not sure how you can compare this glitch to the care package one? I mean prestige tokens are a rare thing for people to get so if someone gets every single gun for the rest of the game, this can't be ignored. Bans will stop people exploiting glitches in the future aswel.

^ This.

The fact that since you have basically unlimited amount of double xp and double weapon xp is unfair gameplay. Ranking up is based upon skill and the ability to do challenges not the ability to do a glitch. Leveling up a weapon faster than everyone else allows for you to unlock special weapon capabilities such as kick which make your weapon more accurate. If you can do this in a shorter amount of time than everyone else you DO have the unfair advantage. I do believe in glitching and think it is entertaining but just pointing out it is a bit unfair.
