Spar Boosting
Okay, so basically, I was in spar failing as usual xD. Then, as I kept on losing I left but my gang member was still there. A couple of minutes later he gang messaged me saying there are these two guys boosting in spar underground. When I went there, the guy was on a 10 streak. I thought to myself lets end this streak and show this guy who's baws. However, somehow I was unable to join and the suspect, DonTouchMe, had gotten to a whopping 50 streak whilst the rest us of were just wondering why we couldn't join and how him and his partner, who was his gang leader, $hadow, kept on repeatedly joining. This was boosting. A later realized how he did it and that was by his opponent doubly tapping the home button and then joining again. Somehow, when his oponent lost and joined back, he was in front of the line to the spar which meant he kept on losing thus DonTouchMe kept on winning. He got up to like 50 spar streak and then his leader had to go or something. I warned him but he wouldn't listen as well as trying to find an online admin which there were none of at that potential time of 10:30am approx GMT. He was boosting. Something serious has to be done about this matter as this has gone out of hand in the past few days in the era community. I believe that him, as well as the victim supporting him (who was his gang leader) should suffer a spar and kill reset as well as a ban as his motive was wrong and he knew he was doing the wrong thing as well as me telling him to stop several times. Luckily, for the first ever time I took loads of pictures (WOOT WOOT!) for proof that I am not lying or making up baloney. Link:http://s1298.beta.photobucket.com/us...57b12.png.html Let this incident be a warning for other potential boosters who I am aware of but unfortunately do not have proof thus I shall not name and shame anyone else. A serious punishment should be put in place (for both DonTouchMe and his leader, $hadow) such as: - Spar/PK reset - Item reset - Gun reset - A possible 7 day ban to ensure he has learnt his lessons (if u can't do the time, don't do the crime') - Suggestions? Also, since spar boosting is illegal, members of staff should broadcast it alongside sever punishments to ensure new players (or even old players in this case) are not motivated in entering the 'boosting' life. Players like me play and learn to spar as well as learning the basics (which can take forever) such as dodging and other spar tactics whilst others can just boost and get better stats than us. This is (in my rightful opinion and many others) NOT fair and should be dealt with in a serious manner by a staff. ps- I have nothing personal with DonTouchMe. I just can't accept the fact that people can earn those easy wins whilst people like me have to earn them. Thank you for reading and I hope this is dealt with asap. ![]() |

ya admins need to start to weild the "ban hammer" better. I see a ton of spar boosters who spar unfairly. The most recent one i saw was this nub fighting a noob and he went on winning 50 in a row. The noob just stood in one spot.

How do you know that's what he was doing? On the subject of boosting, stats mean nothing in the eyes of a true sparrer. Why? Because you can sit at complex all day sparring nubs and get a 5000-0 record. You can boost like wiz used to and get 10,000-3000. Stats are meaningless. Trust me. Because most people don't have the skill to back up their stats. For example take Paul Frank, me coming off my 3 month break of era decide to have a little fun and join TTS. Paul is on the opposing team using a souzin. If you've ever sparred a souzin you know they are fast and a bit hard to dodge, especially at half health. He ended up taking me out and talking crap saying he was a better sparrer even though he had to use a spam gun. I decide to prove him wrong and organize a M4 vs M4 match. Basically a skill match, I won 3-0. In that case it was the gun, not the sparrer. So that's why stats mean nothing to anyone who is a true sparrer. There are too many variables to just judge someone off stats alone. |

Then you sir are not good at beating a souizen. There really not that bad, just counter spam with a faster gun like a tec9 or ap7 witch are the fastest guns in the game. Works 80% of the time for me. also some people are better with spam weapons, the only guns that really take no skill at all to use is the bar and pbp. also m4 can still be spammed, sten takes more skill sense it has more accuracy, but thats my opinion |

I don't use "fast" guns in spar. I use M4 and most recent Thompson to test it out. That's the problem with the next gen of sparers. It's all about getting the fastest gun for you guys, not actually using skill and taking the time to utilize dodge and make every shot count as you have to with M4 rather than spamming bottom with a bar or shouzin or tec and calling yourself pro.

I don't care about some guy jacking his stats up-- PKers with merit don't even look at stats. I do care that these fellas were inconveniencing other players by staking a monopoly on the spar arena. I'll keep an eye out for this fella. And, while it's being mentioned, I frown on those who use fast guns. Years ago, fast guns didn't exist. But we had sprayers. The difference was, the sprayers were penalized for spraying. The freeze on guns left them vulnerable. I wish I could bring back this combat- I think so many people would appreciate it. The problem is that there's too many people who will feel like they're losing the ability to win easily. People who paid seven million dollars for the ability to win without skill. |

Oh no your sir are very wrong, see i use ap7s to replace my steampunk. every shot for me counts, if i go spam the crap outta ap7 the reload will get me killed. So i have to dodge bullets and take the time to dodge. when I spar if you give me a chance to spam ill take it. Also the fastest guns have super high freeze making it extremely easy for old school sparrers to take out a spammer. |

In lieu of my last post, here's an example of somebody crying about the last large-scale nerf I did. http://forums.graalonline.com/forums....php?p=1444861 |
