This ones gonna ruffle feathers...
« on: February 04, 2009, 07:08:48 PM »
To everyone who complains about scores, and how people play the game, refer back to kindergarten.  People complaining about shade vulching is rediculous, if you really dont care about your score, then it doesnt effect you whatsoever leave people alone.

I'll bite.

I was there the day we learned about playing fair in kindergarten.  Spirit of the rules and what not.  I don't care about score either.  Let's do away with the ranking at least then then they can kill all the drones they want.  

I'd say, "it's their $16" but they could do the same thing off line for free....


I'm sure you wouldn't mind volunteering to let one of these people shoot you down repeatedly.  After all, score doesn't matter.

That's absolutely not true.

People shooting second accounts in remote areas instead of fighting othe rplayers DO affect everyone, even those who "don't care about score".
And it's a slippery slope leading downhill very fast. It's setting bad standards, expecially for new players. Look at EW where such things can lead to.
Also keep in mind most of those actions aren't even about score but about getting perks quick & easy without any risk -> try to circumvent gameplay limits set by HTC for a good reason.

If shade vulching for perks is okay... maybe blocking SB's too? Or taking command of enemy TG's to prevent them from evading your buddy's bombs bombs?

So are you going to tell us what you're talking about?

Or are you just going to be vague?

As bad as shade vulchers are, coming on the bbs and not giving specifics is almost as bad.

Remember, though, HTC doesn't like these discussions on the bbs. In before this gets locked/deleted.

I don't care what the score is between 2 teams in baseball, basketball or any other american sport i don't give a rats arse about, i would still find it unacceptable if one team bribed the ref to win.

It's not about score, it never was.  That's just the defense that is used by yourself and others that just don't seem to be able to grasp the concept of fair play.  Is it fair play for one person to play the game legitimately, while another player gets to the top by basically cheating the system?  If it goes unchecked, the end result is a community that is rife with cheating and dies as does the game.

So why we don't care about the score, we do care about the state of the game.  Something that seems trivial to you I guess.

How many times do this have to be said?

If you spot an anomaly in the scores/ranks, then send us the information.  Posting it like this on the board is not going to solve anything and just serves to create more angst and frustration.

Do we have to start banning people from the board for doing this before people get a clue?

If you cannot respect our wishes on how to deal with this, then the very feature you are exploiting to do this with will go away.

Maybe this should be the last warning about this.

I take it as, "don't mention names".  IE:  No witch hunting.  Bi*ching about the practice is an entirely different matter.

I didnt start this to annoy the administration, I got my #1 rank in Attack, #1Late War GV and #1 Gv mid war fair and square.  No shade vulching involved, I'm just
