-As we get closer to launch, it’s becoming more important to get the word out about our stance on cheating: Farming and collusion, although fine on UAT to allow for proper testing, is totally unacceptable on the live server and we frequently ban people for it! To be sure we’re absolutely clear, in this context collusion means co-operating/conspiring with the enemy to cheat and get wins/XP, such as (but not limited to) trading capture points or farming kills. Well, maybe people wouldn't do that, if games wouldn't start and end with 10 players on one side, and 5 on the other. Edit: And let's be real here, banning people for xp trading during an Alpha? When a characterwipe is literally around the corner and you get nothing from it? When another characterwipe comes in 2 weeks at launch? I mentioned the above, because that's one of the situations where I thought about it. You have already lost, and the game is fucked. The least the enemys could do is give you some free xp. I do understand if you literaly go on the enemy team and disrupt them though...
I wish there would be a bit more detail into what constitutes as farming, I mean some view one guy sitting in the turret of a Predator/Grav tank away from a capture point as Kill farming so... And what about defending uncontested points with the ambient defender XP gain, would that constitute or could be confused by a system as XP farming?
basically my reaction: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n5E7feJHw0 Also....why does XP farming matter when they are just going to wipe our characters in 2 weeks anyways? Its not like we get to keep our XP after launch happens....
I'm not sure how you are confusing the 2 his words were pretty clear? Planning with an enemy to get ahead is cheating. randoms running into the line of fire of a tank is game play. What's to confuse?
lol, millenials. you lost, so the enemy owes you? hell no. if you lost, next time do better, thats all there is to it. alpha beta post launch, doesnt matter. if i was the enemy id give you some teabags but thats about it.
Why would it be wrong while the game is still being actively tested by people and the wipe ensures it will have no impact on the release? People abusing it to get advancements faster will have no impact on the real game regardless and people trying to perform controlled tests are going to be penalized by this for their attempts to help the game. It's a stupid policy to have until a game goes live. It protects no-one and risks hurting some that don't deserve hurting.
hurting some? LOL. I'll explain: what if you are new on the EA servers, which IS liveservers just a bit before wipe and official launch, or just not a frequent player and you see shit like that go down? I dunno about you but id go: wtf is this bullshit? Condoning it sends off the wrong message and besides, the advancing goes faster than it s going to be at launch anyway, yet you STILL wanna go even faster? It would be a stupid policy to allow it, it sends off the wrong message and makes for a false start. It doesnt '' risk hurting some" (if it wasnt for the mods here id really give you a piece of my mind for even using those words) nobody gets hurt when they are forced to play by the rules and not rig the game. By not doing so, the game and gamerbase at large will get hurt.
yeah exactly. so next time think before you waste everybody's time by making threads about things like this. and i want you to know that im not angry. just a bit dissapointed.
