Huckster gaming the ranks
« on: Yesterday at 08:54:23 PM »
You've been exposed  :old: I noticed when your 110C had the top K/D of the entire arena last tour.  ;)

Go back and look at his last 3 tours. Seemingly killing the 1 guy over and over again. #1 fighter so far this tour with an 8 kill sortie on 1 guy getting over 36 hit % and 4k points. I cant even get 1k points for 2 landed sorties with 5-6 kills a peice...

  Tsk tsk...

What about that Machell guy? Looks like he killed 5 B17s with an M3!

I noticed that too.  Pretty lucky to be finding the same shade - err, "noob" all tour.  And while flying a 40ENY plane to boot.

Ah, that makes sense. I didn't look to see who it was, just the plane type.

Speaking of shady types. It appears that hazmat has been gone for a couple tour now. Wonder what the callsign for hi new shade is.

You sure about that? I dont think Finetime flies Bostons... and this wasnt bailed out kills given his sheer amount of points and hit %. These are runway vulch kills. Further, it would be one thing to say he got a lucky sortie one tour. Doing it 3 months in a row on random names is sus and should be looked into.

I like how he changed the name of his "target" thinking that would hide his scheme.   :rofl

SHawk showed me how to game the score years ago and after that, scores and ranks mean nothing to me. The funny thing is that you don't have to cheat to get good scores or rank. I suspect the player in question is a silly kid trying to look good.
This kind of activity was way worse when we had massive numbers in the game. I didn't condone this stuff then, and I don't now, but what ya going to do? Hopefully, this person will realize how dumb his efforts are. There's nothing worse than worrying about a scoring system that can be gamed so easily. If anything, the ranking system only provides a window into a player's knowledge of the game and not one's skill level.  :salute
