You seem to be very much pretending it's a non-issue.
Yeah, "SEEM" being the key word there. You don't know what you're talking about. There's no contradiction in saying that it's stupid to perpetuate the rumor that the junk you find on google isn't outdated, especially when even if it weren't outdated, HTC would deal with it as quickly as they have in the past. Which amounts to a small chance of running into that player, out of all the spots on a map, out of all the arenas, and out of all the times you might play, in the short time the player will have before being ejected and banned. If said player's stupid enough to do it in prime time, he'll get kicked out extra quick. So talking about it in the open like it were something common is
stupid. Players reading ch200 will take it for granted as accurate, which it's not. What a stupid thing to do.
Cheating is a rumor because guys like you and the guy that made a big deal out of it on ch200 the other day don't have squat to back you up. Where's your evidence that it's happening right now? You don't have any. Which leads to the next point: it's stupid to keep bringing up the topic in open discussion like ch200 because of the above points. That it's all unsubstantiated or outdated, and in the rare times it's neither the best thing to do is to report it directly to HTC. A lot of us have done it in the few times it happened and trust me, it gets taken care of real quick.
Next, the point of the thread was to show how the most ordinary flying can get people screaming foul play. What, exactly, is that guy implying when he says the wings should have snapped? Answer this question.
Even if he weren't, this case is identical to the dozen other times it's happened, where the player explicitely said I was cheating, or that the plane I was flying "couldn't do that". The point is to illustrate this as part of a greater effort to sensibilize players to the full range of planes' envelope. Instead of e.g. being oblivious to using the vertical. The thread has nothing to do with this player or me in particular. I'm not the only one who's been accused of cheating when I was just flying around doing nothing extraordinary.
As far as "all hostile like". Are you 15 years old or so?
