    Sportsmanship and honor? Sure it's just a game, no one's affected, but you're still breaking rules.

    /devil's advocate

      Right. And that's EA's job, not ours. I'm not saying he is, but pred seems like the type who would look for padding servers and report them to EA. (And even if he isn't, I still don't know why people waste their time doing that)

        It depends a lot on what you call padding. Playing Karkand I/O 64 player 24/7 and doing nothing but spamming nades and resupplying other nade spammers, is that padding?

          :laugh: I've spent entire rounds on kark in the APC not firing a round just running everyone I can over.

            Don't worry Hawkers. I have developed a special bansuit codenamed I's and L's

            When I'm just plain bored/angry/vengeful/etc, I go and kill padders/KnP'ers/etc...

              I don't see anything wrong in pistol knife servers, I've played a few here and there back in the day and they can be loads of fun. Good practice too for learning how to use those two weapons and then bring it to a real game for a humiliating kill

              padding rep points is probably the only understandable reason to stat pad imo. Everything else is a big "why?".

                Why do people even care about other people padding? They dont affect you in any way whatsoever. If they wanna waste their time getting e-medals and e-badges why not let them?

                  Like I said, only a Lance Cpl, as I dont stat pad. Playing on Pistol and Knife and Stat Padding, are two different things.
                  The account isn't even a month old. How about your previous player?

                    Why do you care about his account? Your 41 years old and playing games trying to ruin it for others. You must feel good about yourself my friend.

                    There is nothing wrong with stat padding.

                    I do both, i play regular and I pad. Don't like it? Why don't you burn in hell?

                    As many others here said it doesn't ruin the regular players game.

                    EA Doesn't even care anymore to be quite honest, I have a friend who is an assistant on the EA Development team and he told me he overheard all the BF2 devs saying they dont give a **** about padding anymore and they only will reset if the reporter wastes their time and fills a screenshot/report.

                      It's not the fact that he statpads, it's more of the fact that he tries to cover it up.

                        Why cover it up? Padding is fine. Screw whoever reports it or looks down on people who do it.

                          Not to jump aboard the bandwagon, but just having 1 server out of a sample of... say, 1,000 or more, in no way proves your point (as Wizrd already stated.)

                          Last time I played, about 3 months ago, there were still plenty of ranked K+P servers which (maybe not to you, but to the rest of the community) are there to help players rank up quickly. This is also known as stat-padding, which is wrong.

                          Are you Kidding me? 1000 servers? Thats the stupidest thing Ive heard all day. Try not to over guess.



                          [IMG][/IMG]



                          IF thats 1000 Pistol and Knife Servers, Im Bill Gates. Half of those listed arent pistol and knife and are Karkland I/O and nearly all of them are empty, 99%.

                            Numerical exaggerations aside, you did in fact generalize about the community from your experiences in one unranked server and used childish insults against those who feel otherwise.

                                So if I use that logic then since you stressed your opinion rather than something tangibly supported by statistics or facts, and opinions are feelings, then you yourself are a nub? Think about something before you post it.

                                Go ahead and express your opinion however you wish on the issues, just don't bash people without a valid reason and expect it not to get slammed back in your face.
