It's always been a Joke, but nothing to make a thread about. Let those that want a high score do there thing. It's not hurting anyone and I always wonder why people care.

I'm sorry, but it just ruins the appeal of the game for me. Less "who cares about scores" because you suck donkey kong's nut sack please.

1st place doesn't mean your a dam good stick anymore, it means your a dam good milk runner in the less populated arena.

did it before?

BTW, you don't get to #1 without killing other players.. and lots of them quickly.
Milking does help with rank, but if all you can do is milking, your fighter/attack rank won't get any good.

Also the milking opportunities have been greatly diminished since EW & MW have their own ranking system

Lusche, they might kill people, but they don't FIGHT. These are the guys who up Doras, BnZ for a quick kill and extend for a sector to get out of danger.

I was referring to milkrunning in less populated arena, which is what the original posting was about. And you can't do what you described there. Not enough targets, too long transit times.

Also, if you only get for the quick kill and extend for a whole sector, you won't get any good fighter rank either, because your kills/time will suck.Your better k/d only helps so much.  ;)

Lusche, I'm talking about Attack/Bomber/GV score here my friend.

You can do what you want in the less populated arena without being sniffed at by an enemy player, such as:

Bomb strat after start to death to improve your bomber/attack score.
Take base after base to improve your bomber/GV score.
Have a little cruise in a PT boat to a town and rocket it to death to massively improve your GV score.

After you've done all off the above you can go into the bigger populated arena and vultch your tits off for 1st place.

Have a nice day.

My answer to this is: So what?

You're talking about this as if it's something new. Milking was always a part of this.. nothing has changed in the past few years.

When we only had 1 MA players did exact the same things. Flying at non-prime time with 90 players on a big map was making milking not more difficult than now milking a small map with 40 players. Happily bombing a start target as soon as an enemy zone base was captured, switching sides to take other milking opportunities. It was the same as it's today.

Don't look at other people's rank and you will be more happy in game ;)

You can milkrun/stat pad just as easily in the most populated LWA.  Population doesn't matter.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Funny, 1st place never meant you were a good stick.
