Boosting has gone way too far in Era. You see, if something was actually done way back when boosting first started rather than ignoring it (which is what most staff do anyways), it wouldn't have gone to the level that it is right now. I, alongside my gang have been on a hunt for boosters so that they can be reset/jailed/stopped as FlameCrow clearly said. You'd be surprised at how many suspects as well as ACTUAL BOOSTERS we caught in such a small amount of time of hunting them down. A rough approprimate, is about one every 5 minutes without any exaggeration. You see, this wouldn't have ever happen, or at least would decrease if staff actually gave out harsher punishents rather than the usual every time 'warning' which is absolute bs. It's not about the stats, it's about justice which should be given to every legit sparrer from the booster, by punishing that booster. The majority of the staff say that 'boosting isn't a big mattter' and 'who cares, you have fun, and mind your own bussiness'. This is because no staff actually spars at a competitive daily level. You try and LEGITLY gain 10k wins in a year whilst a booster can get that in a day, see how you feel. C'mon, I dare because unless you actually try it, you'll never know how had it sucks to be a legit sparrer.
Also, staff need to get it CLEAR one time if boosting is legal or not and not continue with the bs of its unfair, but illegal, and then legal at the same time. Also, punishments need to get harsher. We framed two f*ckers boosting in underground spar, with pictures, eye witnesses, recording, you name it and nothing was done. Not even a jail! It all ended up with Reno saying 'You're in luck .I don't have the powers to reset them.'. FlameCrow said all boosters will get punished, so WHY DON' STAFF STICK WITH ONE STATEMENT!?!? It seems as if all the effort put behind stopping boosting, making the gang, getting people, putting effort on managing everything, went right down the drain. Nothing is ever done. I swear, in every skill related game, boosting= straight resit/ban. Take BattleField, Call of Duty, Runescape, even frickin iClassic, all leads to a harsh punishment. So why is it that the staff on Era don't d sh*t?
Take boosting as a irl point and comparison to the game. The boosters are the criminals, the staff are the police, the witnesses are the people trying to stop boosting. The witness (booster stopper) sees an criminal (booster), reports it to the police (staff), the police punish the criminal. Yes, crime (boosting) will always continue, but the criminal (boosters) reign must come to an end by the cops (staff). Crime (boosting) will always happen, but it will decrease if the cops (staff) actually do something about it, otherwise, the community will be angry, which is exactly what is happening now. *cry*
Okay, about this topic. Yes something has to be done about hiding stats as this is the main reason why boosting is happening right now. People will boost in a quite time, get 1k wins with no losses, and no one will even know about it. This can be stopped by;
- Totally eliminating the 'hide stats option' (most likely staff aren't gonna do this because they hate us

)
- Making it so that your stats are shown ONLY when you are in a spar arena if you have hiden them. (good idea right?)
- Removing other 'abondoned' and boosting 'hotspots' spars (such as the DragonBallZ spar and Boxing Spar) and only keeping the 'Lobby' of underground spar, and spar complex able to give you wins WHICH COUNT ON STATS (good idea right?)
