Question for those that vulch 2nd accounts to gain rank

[SkyRock]

biggamer has 27 kills on yourfup midwar yourfup all in b24`s
biggamer has 31 kills on yourfup latewar yourfup 12 in b24 2 niki and 17 panzrs 

dextur has 2 kills on yourfup midwar yourfup b24
dextur has 28 kills on yourfup your died 11 b24`s 1 niki 16 panzrs 

both guys have same latewar kills on this shade
wonder if they split the cost

meanwhile yourup has 0 kills on them
further prove scoring system is fubar

How do you get to the page to find out who has killed who?

How do you get to the page to find out who has killed who?

 

AH scorepages. Killstats in an expanded format. Select "player vs" "player". (Of course you have to know who you are looking for)

If I remember right, it doesn't used to work with firefox though...

How do you get to the page to find out who has killed who?

 

You have to go under scores and type "cpid" vs "cpid".  This is only useful if you actually have an idea of who you want to compare.  As i have stated in the past, I think it would be great to be able to search for top 10 pilots "XXXX" has killed and top ten pilots who have killed "XXXX"

What does one gain by vulching a 2nd account to gain rank?  Does having your name on the main page every month mean that much to you?  Is it that important to feel accepted by this community that you will engage in activity that this community frowns upon?  Does it give you a warm and fuzzy feeling everytime you log on you see yourself ranked #1?  Does it bother you that you had to basically cheat your way to the top?  Does it bother you that the community thinks lowly of players like you?

I'm curious to see what guys like Biggamer and Dextur would like to say on this subject, maybe we'll have their 'friend' yourfup pipe in too with his thoughts.



ack-ack

I'd love to be able to respond to this intelligently. But, I have only one theory that I can come up with. Beyond that I am at total loss. Asking normal people why someone has to do that sort of thing  is kind of like asking a devout nun why prostitutes have sex for money...

The only thing I can come up with is they are attention starved. Unfortunately, even us talking about it is rewarding them with the attention they crave...

I won't comment on this particular INteresting incident (yet ), but I think most players that I personally have found doing such things did it actually to gain cheap perks that way. Don't know if that's the majority, just what I subjectively witnessed a few times.

I may be a little out of touch with this because I have 41,000'ish perks banked so don't really pay much attention anymore. But, are perks really that difficult to get just by playing normally? From what I recall, you even get fighter perks for dropping ordnance on strats and stuff in attack mode, it really doesn't get much easier than that...You can get fighter perks like that without even shooting anyone down...

he's one of the main reasons these kids in his squadron do what they do.

niether Biggamer or Dextur are in SHawks squad.

I guess it depends all on skill level, patience and willingness to get out of the Spit XVI / La7 at least a few times

But seriously, I can well remember the times when I still had trouble to get enough perks for a 262. Maybe the shortcut is too tempting for some...

I guess I'm understanding that. But, answer me this question. If the motivation for doing this is to buy perk planes. What is the point of the perk plane at all if you've already manipulated your rank/score into some crazy, freakish thing you're probably not capable of replicating even in the perk plane you did this to get?

Ack-Ack, did I inspire that new avatar with my comments about your name and Mars Attacks!!????  Are there any royalties in it for me?

It's just about having to work less to keep flying perk planes in that case. It's often not even about rank, just about getting the "better" plane.


Oh, just for the record: I was only able to fly my first ME 262 after playing AH2 for 5 months(!). Now tell me a shortcut to an uber plane isn't tempting

So you're telling me, people collaboratively spend countless hours ruining their score/rank they presumably don't care about to scoot around the MA in a 262 a few hours a month?

Yup. Not everybody is flying a 262 for rank.

Yea, so it's to fly a 262 more or less as a griefing tool then?
