I do not let the exploit ruin my seasonal fun and have done pretty well for myself each season. I realize this post is about Switch and I have no opinion or information on that as I am a ps4 player. You can play season on console and still do well (top 100, top 50) with no save scummed gear.

It makes a difference in spreading inaccurate information about the state of seasons on both console and PC. You did have last season with a few copying save files and gear (of save scummed) and allowed them to have crazy stats, but they were a tiny minority (maybe the top 2 or 3 in each class). The modded gear in season though doesn't exist. It is built into the way the game auto saves and is an unfortunate exploit on this game. Save scumming is definitely a thing on console. Still doesn't explain how people are save scumming for ancients/primals on switch since it needs you to be online when logging in and saves after each craft. I have noticed a few every now and then unless they are just smart and not make it so obvious by only giving themselves a few primals and keeping stats in normal ranges.

Fortunately, doesn't seem to be as bad as other consoles where top 200 are people in full primals with stats beyond what they can be. So, I'm a bit surprised to hear that these things are still possible. You can do it with CFW and then load it in a save editor, but last I heard you couldn't do it for a seasonal character because you would need to go online and that would risk you getting banned by Nintendo. Nintendo doesn't allow you rip saves from SD card. Also, it's not as easy to rip saves unto an external device like Xbox and ps4 with a thumb drive. If you normally close out of the app the game saves after you use resources so you can simply close game and reload to get back items. I thought the Switch version was safe because you can't just close out of game to return to a state before you spent the resources like you can on other consoles. I know ps4 & Xbox versions are rappant with not only save scumming upgrades to save on resources, but also modded items.
