Ok here is my arguement, stat padders are cheap yes. But I just don't understand why it is outlawed and basecamping isn't (in most servers at least). I mean, stat padding isnt well earned but I think they figured out how to crack the system, good for them. The game can be really hard and I don't really blame them. Personally, basecampers have always pissed me off, I usually end up getting kicked for bitching about them because they mindlessly sit there clicking the mouse and aiming and just getting kills and kills without even trying as for me and others have to work for our points. Although stat padding is similarly cheap, basecamping is much more annoying, I don't know about you guys but two guys exchanging kills or whatever isn't bothering me really, but when I keep spawning and getting killed and then spawn and killed again, and then spawn and killed again it gets really f*cking annoying! And that is why I bitch in games. I just think if stat padding is banned, basecamping should be even more punishable. Especially since more than half of the guys who do it are complete douche bags. I argued this with my friend and he told me to post it here in a poll and he wants to see me get flammed, go ahead flame me but at least I'm not a basecamping asshole.

- I believe stat padders are better, in some ways, than basecampers.
Poll
Which are more annoying and cheap, basecampers or stat padders?

I told him that yes, stat padders and base campers are very annoying, but at least base camping is legal. Your not going to get banned from a server from basecamping (unless you kill an admin...), but you can/will (most of the time) be kicked and/or banned for stat padding.
Atleast stat padding doesnt hurt other people stats. Which is why camping is worse. you pick up a .1 kill:death ratio and theres nothing you can do about it.
I have no problem with baserapers, and no problem with stat padders. The only annoying thing IMO are people who TK you for either no reason or for vehicles.
Guess what, if you keep getting killed while spawning, stfu and spawn somewhere else! and if theres nowhere else to spawn, than stfu and spawn there too. This is war. When theres one flag left i guess the enemy should just back off and let you guys get a new flag right?, jesus...
whatever man i guess i wasn't made for war hahahha. that really hurts me because im dying to get my head blown off and my body burned on a bridge in iraq. really, truely. but thanks for the other gamers for their input.
Edit: by the way, i don't have enough time to waste on a video game to become adept to it bwhahaha.

the most annoying thing though is whiners. base camping/raping, n00b tubing, tank whoring...all part of the game. it's war and these are good strategys to winning the round. chances are that mostly every player given the chance will rape and camp and tube. they're smart players IMO, the aim of the game after all is to win.
Yeah, that's exactly what it is, unable to adapt. I flag left and instead of capping it and ending the map the heli just circles getting kill after kill after kill. Cap the flag or at least let them draw their rifle. Now, as for un-cap bases, spawnkill away. I do it and i'll continue to do it. If the other team is bad enough to lose all flags except the un-cap we can't be expected to go back to our main for a coffee brake.
And tubing is horrible. The only time i ever tube is when i have no other choice. I don't run around like other idiots with the GL out looking at the ground waiting to see feet.

He he he... have fun with your "war." Am I the only one that plays this game to have fun?
Yeah, if you have a real problem with these things, complain to EA/DICE to fix the problems. Let them put a nice invisible shield around your bases, and around you when there is a tank nearby, it will protect you from anything that is shot at you, and when you get shot flowers will drop out of your ass.
If the game allows you to do it, and nothing discourages me from doing it, I am going to do it. Especially if it gets me points. Stat padding is discouraged because of stats reset and the ease of detection. Base rape is just a part of the game, its more of a problem with the spawn system than anything else.

Basecampers are hardly invulnerable, in fact, I find they're usually a helluva lot easier to kill than most, because they don't move. Once you've been killed once, you can usually figure out where the shots are coming from and then go kill him.
If you can't, well, spawn somewhere else.
As for stat padders, they're cheating. So... there you go.

there is no such thing as baseraping. if ur team was crappy enough to have only 1 static flag left, u deserve it. unless ur talking about cappable flags and ppl just get in tanks and wait for ppl to spawn
baserapping exist only when the stupid team that you are in keep spawning in the same spot and try to kill armor with eyesight or vie telepathy; choose another spawn point or join a squad and spawn next to the leader. Indeed, species that don't adapt become extinct like in your case and will cry for MEDIC!!! .
Its all a part of the game dude. If there wasn't stats, there'd be something else. If it wasn't base camping.. it would be something else. Anybody remember Day of Defeat?? Remember what would happen if you tried to get into the enemy spawn point?
If its not 1 thing its another, in the end.. its just the game. We all play it, and most of us are guilty of droppin arty on the jokers camping for the plane.

I don't care about stats padders as long they not intefere with my game. All my awards are legally earned and most of them just showed up during normal gameplay. That means, I wasn't checking bf2s.com for the requirements of a certain badge/ribbon. I just played and got them (except Knife and Pistol).
I witnessed a very interesting form of stat-padding the other day . . . it had not occured to me that it would exist in this form. . . it was on a 16 man server.
This is what I saw happen, a USMC teamate (someone I don't actually know) was spawing at the main Karkand base and was using the APC; I was in (using) the tank. . . we both got C4-ed, I respawned and hid when I saw enemy (MEC) guys at our back base - the tank spawned and another teamate spawned - so I let him take the tank - then a USMC medic spawns and the guy taking the APC spawns - the medic teamkills the APC guy (?); HUH I thought - then he revives him; and the MEC guys kill him; I watched this happen 10-15 times or more; where the USMC Medic revived him and MEC guy killed him; then I teamkilled the USMC Medic. . . I got killed UH OH! . . . then luckly the guy got in the APC and took those (2) MEC jerks out. . . else I might have been the next stat-pad victim.
I had always thought the guy getting killed over and over again was in on the stat padding; this is NOT always true. . . this guy was desparetely trying to get away. . . his only options I think were - if he could do it fast enough was switch sides OR simply press [ESC] and the [DISCONNECT]. . .
A new evil form of stat-padding. . . they pick some unsuspecting player on a small 16-man server and triple team his ass. . .
