HT,

last 2 days, the arena saw 2 players land huge # of kills in GVs.
yesterday it was M16 with 150 kills, just now 296 kills in a T34.

after checking scores, the 2 IDs make it so obivous they
are vulching both accounts to gain perks/score/rank in that
catagory. This is blatant cheating of other players
who play fair and earn thier kills.

Others who were in arena just now will post here to as witness to this today.

ill hold names till u get them and check them out. but score sheet tells all.

whels

HTC please close 2nd accounts. This is only one of the ways they get abused. I know its more money in your pocket but it leaves the door open to abuse. I would think you would value a "fair fight" over money. just my 2 cents

i noticed they log right after doing the dirty deed.

mixed feelings here. As a know score potato, it upsets me to see guys do this. I work hard to get a decent rank, and I am proud of it. If all you want to do is shoot at yourself like this, it should be done in the TA, or DA.

Other side of the coin, i'm quite aware of just how cheap it is, and I feel sorry for the guy/gal. Shooting your 2nd account like that over and over does nothing raise your skill level. It's done by skilless noobs, and perpetuates their noobness.

Also I don't think HT minds the xtra 14.95/month. $ is $ even if gained by some guy doing something soooooooo base and tacky.

(sidenote) I was perusing various player stats, and came across an interesting one. A guy had 261 kills in a pt boat, and 261 kills OF a pt boat, vs. only 9 deaths in a pt boat. THAT sounds a little gamey, or possibly exploiting a bug.

Speaking of base and tacky...what about the guys who have nothing better to do than sit and read other people's stats looking for abnormal stuff? (and no - I only have one account!)

The fix to this is in a Gameplay post about the ENY failure.

To sum it up, it says that when you are killed/shotdown, etc. you cannot spawn from the same base that you spawned from previously. Implementing this would prevent dweeboids from vultching their 2nd accounts over and over again.
