Title: Farming 2nd accounts?
Post by: haggerty 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!

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

Hehehe.

Take away all their scores and change their name to MayNot

I'm sure there is nothing nefarious about all this anyway, He just keeps running into the same guy over and over, especially all those PT boat kills, it's just a fluke.

You'd think as lucky as he has been he'd be #1 for K/D in fighters but alas, he is not.

Maybe #1 for K/S Fighters..............nope, not that either.

Statistical Anomalies.

I can remember a few years back when a guy named similar to another word for a mountain environment was vulching his shade mercilessly to attain the coveted #1 rank.  He was stripped of kills and perks as I recall.

Alas, the last few times I saw him in the skies it was 15K to deck AAA without a single turn engagements.  It's so much harder fighting people that fight back.    :bolt:

Skuzzy said they stopped doing it (he said it in the MA), not sure why.

I've played way to long to be concerned with "score" anymore.  Those of us who play a lot know who the real big baddies are.

Agreed.  But hey, many people are gratified by their scores!

My only wish (on this topic, mind you) would be that perks in MW and EW wouldn't count towards MA, so that we could have good fights in those arenas.

Sounds like a good deal to me oldman, and hope we get the numbers back in AH to have EW and MW arenas with good numbers in them.......   :aok

May is legit. Never seen him do stuff like that... My squady.. If he did he wouldn't be a part of the squad.

You can confirm it yourself.  Just look up his tour stats here http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/scores/players.php and click on any plane or vehicle he's got kills in.


Title: Re: Farming 2nd accounts?
Post by: haggerty on August 30, 2017, 12:47:56 AM
what makes it more suspicious is that he got all the kills in perk farming vehicles/planes
T34/76
P47-D11
Mosquito
F4U-1

All with high amounts of ammo and ENY to kill the same person over and over.

Ok thanks.. His attack and ground stats are messed up indeed. I will discusse the matter with Weiser. I was not aware of this. When i see him fly he usually just fly's around in a fighter and seems to engage.

From my perspective it makes it not worthwhile to even try, might as well eliminate rank altogether.

Looking at this page: http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/newscores/killstat.php?selectTour=LWTour211&player=May1&kt=496

It shows that this was not a case of vulching a stubborn player, it is sustained farming over multiple days.
