Stat padders (on a non TG server)

Tonight at 2200 on wolfgaming.net #1 titan server 64.34.168.59 16567 I saw the below scores. I don't know what they were doing to get scores like this. Wolf members chased them off. How do I report this?

From what I've read, you put down ammo pods by the Titan defense guns and keep firing and switching seats.

Re: Stat padders (on a non TG server)

I'm sorry...but what kind of loser does this kind of crap? Is getting on top of a leaderboard that important to some people? I was looking at the leaderboard the otherday, and it had people with round scores in the thousands just like this.

Re: Stat padders (on a non TG server)

If I run that server with that kind of stuff happens, that would be a legit reason for me to perm ban those players.

The sad part is DICE/EA MUST already know this kind of loophole in the programming is there, and don't tell me they don't expect people to exploit it.

Re: Stat padders (on a non TG server)

Also, if you hover over the titan in a transport with a pilot and a passenger and keep switching seats, you give a driver abilty score each time. I saw something similar on a server yesterday, the players got kicked if I recall correctly.

Report them to EA. That's what that farce of a system called BFROE does anyways, so you may as well cut out the middle man.

I disagree. I knew the TG forums are a place to get a straight answer so I came here first. It worked and I'm going to report them.

thanks all

Re: Stat padders (on a non TG server)

BFROE only lets you submit one player at a time. OK fine... I have 7 players to report. I get this after the second entry..

"You have already submitted a report within the last 5 minutes. Please try again later."

not helpful.

Re: Stat padders (on a non TG server)

Hmmmm, I don't see what's so wrong with it. EA made the purpose of the game to get as many points as you can to get all the unlocks. If I had the game, I would probably do that stuff for 10 or so rounds to get at least 20k points for 10 or so unlocks?? and then play normally. It's not like anybody actually uses the Titan guns anyway and you might actually get a few kills out of it, hence helping your team.

the titan guns are not how people are getting thousands of points a round.

it has to do with the drop ship, actually. and it's not really cheating, either.

I don't agree with that stance. The way I view it is that would be exploiting the limitations of the game, hence cheating. And if a person can't bring themselves to a higher plane of playing, then unfortunately my respect for that person might suffer. Of course I'm not saying that Viper or anyone here at TG does that sort of thing.

And I think the top 250 or so players in BF2142 are nothing but stat padders. It's despicable.

Re: Stat padders (on a non TG server)

Interesting, I'm gonna try this on single player for kicks.

Just to be clear, I am not going to, and never would do this multiplayer.
