Why GVers are lame.........
« on: April 20, 2007, 10:16:28 AM »
I think that the fundemental difference is the apparent need for the GVer's to exploit bugs or other non player based elements. All the tiger whining is simply the result of people with no skill complaining tht there ride isnt "impervious". Now you seem to have every windmill manned by multiple GV's using the bug there.

I'd like to HTC put up a screen intro listing the current bugs and the warning that if you are reported for expoiting them (with supporting film of course) your account status is subject to review. No one should be "punished" for gleefully taking advantage where advantage can be found. But when that advantage is simply an exploitation of a design "bug" then it should be policed (again just my opinion). Since there is obvious intent to expand the ground game how about policing it a bit better.

It's a shame that the title of your thread paints all GVs with such a broad brush.  

I'm not one to panic and get all wound up over something as petty as this, and such a problem like a graphics bug are solveable so it really needs just a bug report and not a slight against a whole group.

Curios about this particular comment, however:

This leads me to believe that you might find it acceptable to do, for fun, as long as it meets your criteria.  What if someone else found it appalling that you would even do it "gleefully".  Are they right and you are now subject to your own regulation?  Who makes these decisions, and frankly, what on earth makes you think that we need a police state in there to Decide who is exploiting and who is being Gleeful?  Who challenges that decision?  Is there Glee Review Board that defines intent?

Do you honestly think that a simple bug report couldn't have sufficed and a slant against a group was really required?

Comments like this make me nervouse, how easily people succumb to requiring someone else to babysit and define "acceptable".

I would have said in 2 sentences what he said in 2 paragraphs:

"Jb21 was dweebing it up in TT last night from inside a windmill. Please fix this bug ASAP."

I fail to see how these comments on bug exploitation can be construed as whining. Anyone who considers it whining is a fool.

You should not be required to up a plane to bomb an exploiter.

Basically your saying that HT should ban people for exploiting a bug in the terrain they put out.  

Wouldn't it be better if the bugs were just reported to HTC, so they could be fixed, and then everyone would have a level playing field again? (which is what you, and everyone else, including myself want.)

I hear alot of guys complaining about bugs in the MA, but i don't think some of them  even know about the  bb's.  

If enough  guys post in the bugs forum,  it will call HT's attention to a problem that can be easily fixed.                                                            

Edit:
I made a post in the bugs forum. You can ellaborate there.  :aok

There are a lot of bugs around tank town, I have been seeing a constant flow of people landing 40-60 kills in tank town.  Last night I seen 54 in M4.  I cant say for sure, but I am guessing that is an exploit of bug!  I used to enjoy TT, but now its just a place for people to gain perks.  It takes the fun of TT that people have to exploit the bugs.  Of course no one want to report them, then they couldn't use them.  Think I stick to fighters, for now.

What is the windmill bug? First I have heard of it. Is it something like the shore battery bug we used to have?
