Stat Whoring Squad Hoppers, Good thing or bad?

[[ptg]chef_uk]

Just want to gauge an opinion as some of my clans members were quite annoyed from what they saw happening.

Basically these lonewolf's join a squad to see where the leader is, if hes no where near a flag or any action they leave and join the next squad down, they keep doing this until they join a squad where the leader is right on top of the action or capping a flag and takes the points, they keep doing this for entire game.

What this promotes is non teamwork as they are only out for their own stat points. Whats your thoughts on this?

Well peope will always exploit a games stats and the way the get points... same stuff happened on aao yet in a diff way


It will always happen!

Thats another affective way off upping stats, what people can think off to bend the rules :|:

I don't like it, because more then other exploits this disturbes real players games.
If half your team bails out on you when the scorings over, you can't count on anyone, and the command structure and teamplay goes down the drain more then with normal lonewolfs.

Maybe we need to invent a name for this kinda exploitation lone wolfs:
"Wolfs in squads clothes" or something.

never seen that tactic used before

when it becomes work, it isn't a game anymore.

Don't like it. Easy solution.. lock your squad.

I do it sometimes. Most of the time in pubs that's all squads are good for, spawning on your squad leader. When I'm in a good solid squad with some VOIP and teamwork going, I stay put.

play with some friends and lock your squad. my brother and i lan, and we do our own thing and follow the comms orders if hes actually smart enough to give some.

[Chevy_chase]

Locking is an option, but youll never come across other good player like that

One of the virtues of online gaming is meeting other cool people with a simular playing style as you.

[Tronchaser]

You'll know who those people are after playing a few rounds with everyone.

Another simple solution. Invite them to your squad! :)

Some people dont know how to have good honest fun. They either exploit, complain that they are dying, or spawn camp. They do this because of a number and/or a rank. Im sure they would find that playing a game properly and fairly is much more fun and rewarding.

But if they want to make a game "work" as Random stated, then they just paid 50$ for a game, and however many thousands of dollars on a computer for work. Let them do that, and dont worry about it. Just try to have fun yourself, and know you earned those rwards promotions and medals the honest way.

Bah, dont care, do u think they really have fun?? (what is what the game was intended for). Dont think so. Moreover, i think they would get more points playing normally coz, probably in the time it takes to look for the "best placed" scuad leader they could have killed morer ppl, so it's not a real problem after all. Ok, let they say: "hey, i'm god, i got 70 points this round" and u would say "ok dumbass, u could have had 90+ points if u had fought instead of keeping running form a flag to another for an hour without firing a single shoot, u must be hella smart!!).

[Riggz]

Sheesh..sometimes I wish people would squad hop on me to help me get a flag. I'll be taking back our main or getting the other teams. I'll even type..join my squad if your dead and help me get this flag. No one ever listens.

I don't really mind people squad hopping on me because it's an extra body. If they're useless to my squad, I'll just kick em. Not a big deal in my opinion.

[TGL|Badlizzard]

Oh brother, you really think this is a beneficial way to rack up points? Thinks about it, the guy is dead... now he flips through the squads and tries to find one on a flag where there is some action, yikes people complain about everything.
