Farming 2nd accounts?
« on: August 29, 2017, 02:03:00 PM »
I came across a name Dennis1, looking over his stats he has died 265 times, approximately 250 of those deaths are to the same person with a similar name that happens to hold the #1 rank overall.  Please say it aint so!

Yes it is so.

However, you can present your case (with assorted data) to support@hitechcreations.com. They actually DID take action on similar cases in the past.  :devil

More reason why the front-page score shouldn't be a thing. It's such a false metric and doesn't reflect actual skill 10 times out of 10.

Except when I am featured there.  :noid

But then, I don't see any top scorers on the frontpage (had to look that up, cause usually I never see the front page at all).

Meh.  Who cares?  I measure my stats against myself.   If that makes the person happy so be it.  As long as nobody is hacking or griefing let them roll.

Wouldnt care if it was some random person, but when its the #1 ranked player in the game overall, thats cancer.

Shoot him down.   If he's farming himself that's quite a distraction.  Snaeak attack.

where is he?  Before I shot him down today I was actually wondering why I had never encountered him before.

Until recently they were on the right vertical panel above the VR icons. I hope this is a permanent change!

She's really good.  You guys are just jealous.

 True; Just a scale of ego, selfish and coward behavior.
