I was hoping to see some posts about, like, the morality of hacking in situations like this

Heh. You're not new here, you should know better than that!

As for the morality of it -- my bet is that the hackers didn't realistically give EA enough time to respond. The game's only been out for about a month and it's fairly standard to give at least 3 weeks notice except in the case of really severe exploits -- which this was not.

On the flip side, I have no doubt that EA was completely ignoring the hole. They've got enough problems and re-assigning development resources to fixing this was almost certainly not a priority.

I liked having the unlocked weapons last night, although I didn't know why they were all unlocked. I certainly know what my next unlock will be -- if I ever get there. The unlocks and points system are so utterly fucked. Last time I checked the stats tracker estimated my next rank in 80 days, and the rank after that in well over a year. And I'm generally in the top 5 on a map.

Hope they'll be unlocked still, despite EA's claims of a rollback. I'd like to try out some of the other weapons for classes I don't play much.
