Gee another dude with 16 million FAKE points.
Oh wait that's 15.9 million more FAKE points than my 100,000 FAKE points.
(I can hear the whiney oxymoronic moronic "serious gamer" crybabies cry "But I earned my FAKE points the legit way!")
Oh gee he's got a FAKE rank too - like me.
Oh WOW and he's got FAKE medals & FAKE ribbons - like me too.
BFG!
I think this is sort of a retarded way to think. Yeah, it is a game, but so is basketball, baseball, golf, hockey, etc. You go play basketball at the gym, is it okay if the other team cheats? You play golf on Saturday with friends, is it okay if one or two of them cheat? Probably not... if so, then you're more retarded than I thought. If they cheated, you would probably be pissed and rightly so. But you don't lose anything 'real' by losing to a cheater. (unless you bet on the game) But I can bet you would still be pissed. And you're right, the points don't have any intrinsic value outside the game, but it's what hundreds of thousands of people like to do with their time and cheaters ruin people's good time. No, it isn't taking money from their pockets, but cheating is cheating and it sucks. Just because you don't seem to have any qualms about people cheating, don't berate those people who do.
1.) It isn't basketball, golf, or any other real world game - it's a video game.
My friends take mulligans on the golf course - I don't care - technically it's cheating - but nothing is at stake - so I don't care.
Please explain how someone is going to get 16 million points by cheating at basketball at the gym; or even 100 points; do they posess a magic ball that always drops through the hoop? If you mean fouling; playing rough; this is against the rules; expect some to do it - no big deal - it even happens - I don’t care.
2.) Get some perspective - it is just an opinion - and it is just a VIDEO game.
3.) If they had never awarded me 1 point, 1 stat, 1 medal, 1 rank, etc - I would have still played BF2, for awhile anyway until it got old - and it sort of is.
4.) It is just a (EA/DICE)marketing ploy to keep you interested in the game, stats vs content, I'd rather have more & newer content.
5.) By (EA/DICE) not supporting modders (new & varied content), and having ranked servers leased from EA, they have deluded gamers into a psychological mindset they wanted all along (see #4).
Oh, by the way stat padders, hackers, glitchers, teamgod, etc; they don't really bother me either. True that I don't like getting sniped by a hacker - but then again I don't like getting sniped period. True I don't see why someone would waste their time stat padding vs actually playing the game - but then again - I don't really care either. True a guy behind a wall I can't get into killing me is annoying - but then again I never spawn there again - to suffer from that glitch/glitcher either.
