Killing shade for achievements
« on: May 02, 2013, 06:50:26 PM »
Caught starlite "practicing 110 vs lancs" in midwar with awacz. Did some research on stats, turns out he practices ALOT on awacz lancs,and other planes/gvs but awacz doesnt get any practice time :(

Good catch, Eagleone.

Starlite, welcome to the "Hall of Shades".







Out of 256 total kills on "Awacz", Starlite has 251!   Somewhere, FrauB is breathing a sigh of relief.  ;)

Farming perks on a shade account for what they can never do in the late war arena on their own. Sad

the funny part is they don't know what they are missing doing achievements especially the hard ones the way they were intended to be done.
Fester was my in game name until September 2013

I seriously don't get the point of doing this kinda stuff....so you can fly a "uber" plane you will still suck in / die in quickly and in an embarrassing fashion?   :headscratch:

People are going to continue shade killing. Nothing is being done about it. Their risk vs reward is a bit one sided.

Quite honestly.  HTC really doesn't care.  They see a player paying $29.90 a month.

the sad thing is that some use shades during their 2 week trial.

Well we could all quit and leave the game to the shade vulchers until something is done about it.  I'm guessing the honest players account for more revenue than the shaders.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

That's actually a bargain, two accounts for the price we had to pay ten years ago for one. This is a common thing in all mmog's. I don't know why I haven't started another account yet but I hope this really catches on. This is potentially a big bump in revenue for HTC. That means more development, more advertising, more players. Having only 60 players in the main arena sux, having less than 100 sucks. I, for one, am on board with this.
