The PlanetSide 2 Forums have details on a new patch that's now live in SOE's MMOFPS sequel, describing a bunch of gameplay changes. The initial post is followed by another adding that: "A certification grant has been done for players who purchased duplicate weapons on multiple characters." Unfortunately it seems this process has gone awry, as a post on reddit has word from disgruntled players that far too many of these valuable "certs" are being handed out (further detailed in this thread), and that bugs and "randomness" seem to be behind players receiving huge cert grants in spite of being unaffected by the bug the giveaways were intended to redress. There's talk of wanting Sony to undo this, which may not be practical, but in the least the initial reddit poster suggests: "SOE should approach anything dealing with certification points with far more caution in the future, especially giveaways that are tied to station cash transactions." Thanks fawker.
