> Players across PC and console are being urged by the community to stay offline, as reports continue to surface of accounts receiving billions of in game credits, rare and developer only skins, and experiencing random bans.

Regardless if this is true or not, and how it works exactly, I find it an interesting scenario.

For players: should I go online to maybe get gifted tons of ingame valuables while risking a ban? It turns playing into a gamble.

If I take on the hackers' view, I would find it exciting to dish out rewards and punishment at random on a large scale.
