@F1YBYN1GHTI like how you reworded your post to make it much more ambiguous as to whether or not YOU were dashboarding. You sly dog you.
But still. I challenge several of the basic assumptions in your post. First of all... Patching. Games. Takes. Time. It boggles my mind how many people seem to think that fixing an issue with the game is like flipping a light switch. Take for instance the issue of muzzle flash. It's been a complaint, and it's not been fixed yet because the muzzle flash is connected to the lighting for the entire game. Just because an issue is known, doesn't mean that acceptably fixing it is a matter of tapping a few keystrokes before lunch.
Secondly. I'd take the opposite side of the "who spends more in the store" bet. Without the data to back it up, it's impossible to know, but I would wager that people in lower ranks male more purchases than those in higher ranks because they want to appear better than they are.
And finally.... ego is still there buddy. Maybe I just missed the memo, but I was under the assumption that this game was about exciting gunplay with squad focused tactical elements. This is the Apex forum right? I didn't wander into the boards for "poster decorating simulator 2020" did I? Ranks and badges are a nice perk for putting time in and performing well, but if you measure respect and success by your banner in Apex, then you might need to re-evaluate a few things.
.
Actually, I would challenge your assertions here starting with hotfixing exploits. You mention muzzle flash being something so deeply embedded in the core game engine that adjustments cannot easily be made with a couple of keystrokes before launch.
But actually... that is EXACTLY what can be done. In fact it's so easy that any player used to be able to tweak the muzzle flash to their exact preferred intensity with that literally amounts to just a few keystrokes.
Streamer and pro player Mendokusaii used to upload 10 minute how-to's to youtube showing everyone exactly how to that one thing you claimed with a straight face could not be achieved by an entire game development company in nearly a year time, in just a few minutes time with just a few keystrokes.
What buries your unbelievably ignorant statements about hotfixes even further into the ground is the simple fact that Respawn did actually hotfix the auto-ex commands exploitation.
You're plain ignorant.
And what follows after this bogus? You contest OP's claim that the most invested players are the same players who will spend most on skins. Making fun of the notion that ego is a driving factor in people's spending habits (something that literally every salesman and marketing agent is taught in their curriculum).
Yet as a counter to that very same argument. You literally argue that the least invested/worst players are the ones who spend most on skins in this game to "appear better" than they really are.
Which is making the same argument you are trying to defeat with the very argument you're making.
I'm actually shocked. I'm completely shocked that you got XP's on your posts. It seems the reading comprehension on this forum is dipping into negative values.
You just might be the most astoundingly unintelligent and dishonest person I have ever heard in my life. And the competition is pretty stiff. I'm sorry, but everyone on this forum should take anything you say with a tablespoon of salt since your mind is a tangled mess. And your train of thought is so strongly in conflict with itself that if your "reasoning" would look like a pretzel if you could give it a visual representation.
Forget the mic. I brought a bullhorn.
@iBlockHead
"I run into a lot of silver/bronze players in Ranked and even I know it's because their teammates bring them, I bring my bronze teammate into Diamond and they carry their own. That part you wrote on it can be dismissed"
No I am talking about being teamed up with 2 players who are both Predator ranked. Yet once in game demonstrate they're not even capable of handling themselves in a platinum ranked game. I'm not talking about actual bronze or silver ranks who were invited by someone else.
And the post was edited, but at no point was there an actual admission that OP had been dashboarding. This is why @blkarmphoenix said that he edited it to be "more ambiguous" than before.
In his mind. Ambiguous means guilty, and since he took the leap of faith of assuming OP had exploited in the first place, the edit further entrenched his view. Even tho it was an assumption.
That's how public prosecutors regularly end up convicting innocent defendants to 20 years in prison. They start with a conclusion that the defendant is guilty. And cherry pick one the things that strengthen their case. And keep the lid on anything that doesn't.
OP made a valid point about how the Increasing normalcy of abusing the RP exploit will drag more players into abusing it, and based on that statement he assumed this implied that OP participated himself.
But this is even besides the point. Because even if this is true. And OP exploited, the point that the loss forgiveness abuse has been allowed to go unchecked to the point it has ruined ranked in S3 is still entirely true. The fact that people seem to think that truthful statements from a person who's integrity can be pulled into question are therefore no longer truthful or not correct in the first place is actually a documented and well researched logical fallacy that droves of scientists and psychologists have spent thousands upon thousands of hours trying to figure out.
It was a 1 to 2 day job that could have been knocked out in the first week. Yet is still not hotfixed months later. The argument that this could not be done because of legitimate disconnects also does not hold any water since that's the same thing as saying that in order to spare 10 corn plants from being eaten by bugs, the farmer had no choice but to set fire to the entire harvest. Which is insane.
I didn't become this forum's top XP author for 6 months on a fluke, keep this in mind next time you think I have not bothered to actually read up on everything that is being said.
