I was unaware that Borderlands had an always online DRM component included.
Unless they left in the trick and added some anti-cheat code that is tripped, there is really no way for them to "roll back" a single player game.
Now unless they decide to revoke the game keys/steam subscription entirely then... ya.

I did mention this in the other thread. I doubt gearbox or steam will just let this go by.

Thanks for the simple translation. I think Torian forgot to English.

Not saying i will do this as i want to enjoy the game to its fullest.
They cant rollback peoples items as they cannot tell which items were obtained via glitch or legitimate keys.
They can however fix the way the keys are obtained and prevent the ini hack or encrypt the ini file. (which somebody would just figure out how to edit anyway!)
They also could not prevent people using memory hacking techniques or save editing... Basically they cant fix this issue.
And who really cares about this? The game is supposed to be fun and played the way you want.
It is designed to be cooperative and not competitive... If you don't want to play with modders then simply kick them or just dont't play with them at all.

+1, play and let play, especially since it's not competitive between players

Likewise, I ordered a collectors edition and also standard edition from another company just for the creature slaughter dome dlc.
Both have yet to be delivered. Meanwhile i could have just bought from steam, hacked in the extra content and started playing at midnight :S

The Public already have the slaughter dome if they hack it in or join a player who has it.
Looking at the way they have implemented the pre-order bonuses and the ease at which people can unlock it,
I wouldn't be suprised if the mechromancer was planned as a title update which would only be enabled for those who have the pre-order club. Then they would simply sell none pre-order users an ini file that unlocked it for them. :S

After all the problems they had with people editing stuff in the first game they make it easier in the second, facepalm !!.

no they didnt fix the promo item exploit there is no way to fix the promo item exploit without embedding it into the save which would prevent usage to it from the other Chars

They can't do anything about it, unless they installed a secret anti-cheat software that we do not know about, then there is no way to punish us for it. :3
Btw, if they did install secret anti-cheat software, then we can sue because it says nowhere in the ToS of them installing it on us.

"Corrective action: Yes." means nothing for me...what they can do?Delete my savegame?D:

You had to say this "Yup - we're fixing the bug and might punish cheaters."
(you can find this quote from the Q&A posted below, scroll down a bit)
But still, HOW they can do that..."lock" the bug and delete my savegame?They can't remove weapons just because "they look like looted from the chest, using exploited keys"...imho, nothing wiil happen (aside of fixing the "bug")

On September 20, 2012, Gearbox Software patched Borderlands 2 to fix the Gold Key ini file edit Exploit. Editing the ini file to change the amount of keys you have will no longer grant you any additional keys. However, the patch did not remove any keys you have already added using the exploit.
On September 21, 2012, Gearbox Software announced that they will not ban or otherwise punish those who used the cheat.

Btw, if you use extra-super-9999-caliber-maxi-ultra-weapons online you are a jerk.

Lots of players in the first Borderlands were using hacked weapon that gives massive bonuses even at low leves, thus killing any enemy with one blow and invincible shields. Gearbox couldn't do nothing against this exploits, so most games online were affected by this players.

A small note here: The special trait of those "hacked weapons" is a stack of components where several pieces were missing, thus rendering the weapon itself an amount of damage only restricted by whichever remaining component was left. The components primarily used were of the "stock" variety.

Cheating is ruining gaming,if you wanna cheat do it only on single player,and only if you beat the game on normal ;/

Obviously Borderlands 2 has a "way" to get alot of extra keys, are you guys looking into the Key "hack" for adding keys? will you be taking corrective action against players or will you just patch it to leave them to ruin the game for themselves?

Corrective action: Yes.
Also - follow my twitter (@DuvalMagic) as I am likely going to start offering some freebies and other awesome stuff via SHiFT codes in the next week or so.
^Most likely they'll roll back anyone that's done the unlimited keys/items glitch so try to avoid doing it, and just have fun with the game D:
