As boredom hits meh..... I decided to check on the leaderboards and something caught my attention. I got shocked when I saw Kanital was on the 2nd place on DM kills while the last time I checked it the 2nd placer of Kanital was like 30K away from him. Now there is this guy that has 100k kills and surpasses Kanital in just a matter of days !!!! These leaderboard pest must be terminated, I don't have a concrete evidence but they're obviously boosters. I hope sts will do something about this.

There's more boosters that'll be up there soon, just takes time for STS to do something about it since they have to deal with AL.

No more soons, many boosters are here now. Action needs asap but too bad you're right Sts focus much on their baby AL :( But I still believe in them.
Pakayolo and the gang still boosting like nubs tho smfh.

Leaderboards are just leaderboards. U will know if ur opponent is actually good by fighting him and not by looking his k/dr or leaderboards.

I have only 12k DM and CTF kills but I can still outmatch most of the PvPers in end game due to studying, trying new things and training. U will become good if u want to become good. Numbers are numbers, I'd like Paka and his gang to actually try to fight the true LB gang.

Every game I've ever played has boosters. Ever look at Game Center LB's for iOS games? Flippin' ridiculous.

I agree w Ninja. Play the person. I saw a 71 mage w 7,000:3,000 KDR and thought omg so pro. Owned him once and said go for 2nd round and got a nty. So I watched this "pro" and saw he only challenged the weak.

Have fun out there.

Well, Mjolstin has been seen recently to join locked 1v1 PvP games. Not entirely because of boosting but because of botting. So STS is doing something.

He has also been seen in a forest fight private game while some guildes were pvping. Being pvpers they asked him to go. Being a lvl 71 dev against a lvl 26 regular player he said you can TRY to kill me. lol This was hilarious with a predictable outcome. Its kool to see that crocodile run around like a total beast. I hope i personally get to see him one day. But for now i have only seen screen shots.

You'll only ever see him once. Then you won't see anything. Then you probably wont be playing PL until you buy a new device and make a new account.

Pakayolo, you are definitely one of the players that I would consider trash in my eyes. Kill boosting in pvp, trash talking in your personal drama, you shouldn't even come to this thread to brag or let alone comment. Unless you wanted to make an apology to the community, we have the rights to burn you in forums because of you kill boosting towards leaderboards and not even understanding what was wrong with you.

Ok lets break this down. Your first statement "I hate pvp boosters and people that love to trash talk<(two separate words) against any constructive criticism in the forum". Shows me that your whole entire post is going to be bias. In my opinion the way i approach constructive criticism is never trash talk. The only time i would ,in your words, "trash talk". Is when some one personally questions my pvp skills. In reply to these attacks i will stand up for myself because i know that i am fairly a good pvper. For your "consideration" you are entitled to your own opinion. Remember there is a difference between facts and opinions. The next part when you say im trash in your eyes is a total attack which is against the forum rules, and also make you a hypocrite for trash talking. In the grand scheme i respect that you have your own opinion. You are implying that i boost, skewing my defense as trash talk, and now your creating false statements about me bragging in this thread. If you read the comments i was never negative nor bragging. As for an apology i have no reason for one. As stated in the forum rules NO ONE has the right to attack troll flame or "burn" anyone in any forum, And justifying your wrongful actions of attacking me with false accusations on grounds with insufficient evidence of boosting is just plan IGNORANT (in my opinion). Don't get me wrong i can understand why you guys do and say what you do, but that doesn't make it ok. Then you Say theirs something wrong with me and acting like there isn't something wrong with every one else in the world.I have pointed out what i believe is wrong with you. I am entitled to an opinion and you are too. So maybe next time we both can just keep our negative comments to our self's. Because i still talk to you with respect intelligence even when you just got done bashing me.

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.

If I were to keep my comments to myself, I wouldn't be at the forums expressing my thoughts, wouldn't it? You may think defensive is the best method in proving your point, but really, there are times where you should simply admit your mistake and learn from it.

Pardon me if my words are too harsh on you, that is the way I roll. I simply put my honest but blunt comments to let others know, if they insist, I let them carry on. After all, the PL of 2010, where a player such as you would be attacked by completely constructively honest opinions, is long gone, most of the true veterans left the game in disgust. Such players like Physiologic and Whoisthis are great contributors and are not afraid to sound out the possible flaws against all odds, risking moderation just to make the game better, if they were still around, I believe they will be one of the first to chide you.

I think it's safe to say that you are but bending the rules to make it look like you had the advantage, but really even a dropout could see through your trolling.

That in itself is one thing. Not very sportsmanlike, granted. Boosted kills, zero deaths. It proves nothing more than someone's insane resistance to boredom and how little and unimportant they must feel in real life. If, however, they are using a computer program to repeatedly gain kills whilst they are afk doing other things then that is against tos and a matter for the devs to deal with, and not us.

As for what this actually means regards leaderboards....absolutely nothing. In my opinion, as soon as you could buy your way onto them they became worthless anyway. Those who pvp will know who the true pvp legends are....they don't need a leaderboard or a guy with a zillion kills and zero deaths to tell them otherwise.

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

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.

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.
