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

Ehmm.. that seems to indicate that you think you can fly a 262 only for "griefing" or for rank?

Well, the entire reason it's 200 perks is because it's the only jet in a game of prop fighters. It costs that much because it's upsetting to game balance. Someone getting them basically for free would further upset game balance. It's upsetting to game balance because it can single-handedly destroy multiple buff formations with virtual impunity (among other things). This has the potential of marginalizing the effort of many legitimate players a flight. This would be especially true if the person in question was using his other account to vector himself to another country's missions. That would be the definition of griefing. I'm not implying a normal player would do that, but this type of person would and probably does.

You can always tell the difference. Anyone who gets that kind of tally BnZ'ing is usually going to have a totally crap-tacular Kills/Time ratio (5/Hr-). However, someone doing it the other way will almost certainly have a really good K/T (10/Hr+)

I think most players that I personally have found doing such things did it actually to gain cheap perks that way.

That's pretty lame.  If I want to build up some fighter perkies, I find a furball and up an A6M2.  Pop a few Spit16s with an A6M2 and you get some pretty nice perkies.  More importantly, I'll bet it's waaaaay more fun then farming a shade.

I just would like to know why people would engage in an activity to gain some respect within the community when that activity is seen as one of the lamest things you can do.

Up until recently I did not care about people having more than 1 account. The more money they spend the sooner we get a better product from HTC. That was what I was thinking until in another similar post some one posted a link to cash rewards for top ranked players. Now I don't know if this practice still goes on but for the squeakers this to me would provide a great incentive to game the game.

Why don't you PM these guys and ask them, you really think they are going to pop on here and answer your question?
All your going to get out of this thread is speculation from others as why they do such a retarded thing.

The money reward thing is no longer going on.  But the vulching of a second account does cheat the ones who use the scoring system to judge their own progress.

Is Biggamer Axer?  If so their "dad" will be along shortly to explaIN how his "boys" are honorable players and don't do anything of the sort and how they are not allowed to partake in the BBs.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.
