I'm sorry Fugitive but that is all your opinion. If the game is going to have scores and metrics that people can strive for, it must have integrity or else there is no reason for score in the first place and players who do actually want to be #1 or have the best K/D or most kills that month in a plane one time will not have a chance. And now you are just inviting more gamers to abuse the system shooting dual accounts. Gee thanks. Thats not a game anyone wants to play. I strive to ensure that the game is being played fairly. Yes I beeyotch about planes and ganging for good reason, but that is gameplay, not manipulation and targeting to advance ones position over others in a way that's not natural to gameplay. I will not tolerate that.

Finally, do I care? No,


Thats the problem, 'most' players dont play for score (I do not) but some that do, do it legitimately.
Finetime makes it a mission even with all the accounts he has, we can attest to him using them for legitimate honest play.
Never did he use them for nefarious reasons (spot CVs or intercept missions) and I am sure anyone in LCA would be told to stop or get kicked out. Same thing here.

Im not inviting anyone to abuse the system, the system invites it. As I said there is no way to make a score/ranking system in this game that is fool proof. There are too many variables that even without trying tweak the scores/ranks. It is just the nature of the beast.

I would love to see the game "played fairly", but what is fairly to me may not be fairly to someone else. I have always held that it is not honorable to fire in a head on merge, and have been laughed at the entire time. I have a hard time with players who say they are here to fight and then take away any chance of a fight by HOing on any/every head on pass. Others say firring on any shot presented is fair game. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Which is it?

I agree what Huckster did was over the line, but if Hitech doesnt come in and "lay down a law" there isnt anything anyone can do.

Evidently the drop in drama created withdraws.
