Leaderboard Pests

[The Happiness]

I agree that kdr doesnt mean skill but for people that actually work to get up on lb, a booster is a slap to the face to that work. Im sure some have worked months or more to even get last on lb. Then someone out of the blue comes and gets up right away and noone has ever actually seen him pvp. Thats a back hand

I understand...but boosting kills is not against the terms of service I don't believe, but using a bot or other third party software is. If people just boost their kills by slaying a toon on another account, or a friend, technically they are doing nothing wrong. Unethical, yes, but if it is not specified in the TOS, hard to do much about it which, in itself, demeans the legitimacy of the leaderboards. However, if by jumping into someone's computer program and receiving no response from pvpers, then, I assume devs are able to act. This is my understanding...I may of course be totally wrong...and will be shot down in due course ;P

Keep I mind....that twink Mage that boosted 1st place and made kanital 2nd, I farmed him like crazy. My anger went overboard. I farmer he(r) with my sandstone farmer and twink. And my! How bad (s)he was! He has absolutely almost no order of skills! Just spam them! I farmed with my rage. And I haxed my way in to the game, haxing. I also joined a game with a pass, where there was only one person there, shooting barrels, and what's this thing with bots? Can someone please explain it clearly to me? By bots, is it making a computer-powered character where I keeps dieing and gives you kills, or what? And gnomecide also said somethinga bout a guy makin money by shootin nothing in hidden passages.

Sigh......fine. Don't believe me. I'm used to ppl not believing me. But I rlly did went in games.....i soon got booted by that lb booster, but felt good to ruin his KDR at least A BIT.
But what's all this botting about?

I think we covered all this in game yes?

Yes, AFTER I posted that.

In that sense i thin you are right. I know sts said they wasnt going do anything to boosters in al (as of right now) so tos wise probally not. A respected player wise definitely not

[Caiahar]

Bots...thought they were just computer programmed ppl.

I fall asleep in locked games sometimes and don't respond so you could call that botting. Sometimes there's just not enough evidence to prove someone's botting unless you're absolutely sure and provide the information needed.

[Zeus]

He talked...but he was there one hour later....idk if that's boosting.

Botters don't typically talk. If you catch him again and he's doing the same thing but doesn't reply this time, then I would be suspicious.

Shadow....we talked about this in game and about what you should do. I don't think you should be posting pics on here or calling out names of ppl you suspect of botting. If you are wrong you are damaging their reputation.

And Apollo? You're reposting the pics?

Nobody wants to read your guys' paragraphs, geeze. Some of the stuff you guys' say is pointless and it just carries on for days.

Personally, I only read the well-known forumer's posts, they make sense. Stop trying to be what you're not.

I routinely press "reply with quote" out of habit, as I am, like many humans - a creature of habit.

[tHelonestud]

Things aren't alwasy as they appear. It's a pretty straightforward quote and concept. But since I'm so kind, I'll spoon feed you.

Yes the quote is commonly used. When it is usually used it is implying that i either don't want my wish to really come true (a sarcastic wish) Or something bad will come of it. I still want to see a dev just like all of you. I don't believe anything bad will happen when i do see a dev, because i did nothing wrong. So their is no reason to be careful what i wish for.

It applies to all circumstances, and ofcourse the negatives don't show up until they hit you.
I honestly don't care if you boost or even bot. You are probably a cool enough guy. Obviously, your point is that you aren't breaking the ToS, so a developer encounter could in no way harm you. You don't need to play devil's advocate to make your point though.

[Sheugokin]

I get how it is annoying but it really doesn't concern you if you are no where near getting on the leaderboards. I can see how Kanital is complaining but not the others.

Let's please stop before we bring up that PvE K Ratio argument that occurred when K twink ratio farming was destroyed.
