Actaully i change my mind after observating a couple of games in showdown it seems unfair as most teamers will block you off from both escape routss  

I honestly don't give a crap at this point. I've beat teamers before and I will keep doing it in showdown. The stupid people will get caught for it and the better players will be able to pull it off easily without getting caught. Just don't make it obvious and you'll be fine. I'll team if I want to and get away with it and so can a lot of you.

Rotaruc, when two players are teaming and are warped into the cage, and they are the only two left, that is when the boosting is introduced. One player kills the other, then in the next game the other player kills the one. This is how I believe teaming is boosting statistics. They are increasing squad hours, gralats, and their kills unfairly.

hold on one second though. Its still is not boosting. You make it sound like everytime you team with someone they are invincible. That IS NOT the case at all, you both still can be killed by another person or by friendly fire. All what teaming does is increase your chances of survival. Its not boosting at all, boosting is when you and another person, one person doesn't fight back, while the other one kills him to get spar wins, achivements, KDR, money, etc etc. Thats boosting, this is not. Why its not is you still have a large chance of being killed, probs even larger than going solo since you have to worry about friendly fire. You can easily be seperated, from your team. I do this all the time in bases to get pks. Try to lure people in one by one and take them on since you stand no chance vs 3 other people that out gun you.

I was not retaliating, just simply asking a rhetorical question in hopes that those of you who did not know why would realise why teaming is not tolerated.
My answer to the question was to win gralats, increase the spar stats, etc. unfairly and with the help from another player. This is a form of boosting statistics no matter which angle you look at it from. Teaming outside, in the sky world, with another player is absolutely fine with me, and you are right Nabu, I was not seeing the big picture.

Can you stop avoiding my answers? It's really showing that you're just responding to those who haven't really given any sort of reason why this rule shouldn't be enforced other than "It's stupid and bad".

It's a tactic, used in every FFA game created, ever. Seriously, go anywhere and say this is a rule and get laughed at. All because you don't like it and may consider it a form of boosting, it's not.

Fact: Teaming is not boosting, it's a tactic. There is no two sides to this issue.
Fact: You're attempting to defend and enforce a bad rule that no one in any sort of development or PR capacity would enforce.
Opinion: Don't like teamers? Make friends and fight them. Guess what that leads to? People actually having fun.

I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING  

If I camp, do I get warned for boosting? I mean, what if they guy doesn't even see me or I spam only so he can't do anything but getting hit until he's dead.. that's pretty unfair I think, it's probably some new way of boosting.., righttt?  

After reading all of this, I can see how teaming is considered a tactic and not a form of boosting. There will still only be one winner; so someone will always be on top in this team. However it is unfair to players starting out, it is in not impossible to defeat a team.

I don't make the rules, I just enforce them.

This problem can be easily fixed if there was no prize in Showdown or Bomb Spar. If it's considered boosting, then they might as well remove the small amount of money you get. You don't get any money from regular gun spar where that IS considered a form of Boosting, so why do you get money in Showdown and Bomb Spar if there is a problem with Boosting?

As far as the announcement goes, I was just reminding the players that this issue was an offense for a ban.

And this is all just my opinion on the issue.  

****.
I don't even know WHY any of this is an issue anymore?!
Who the hell cares if some kid wins a little mini game with another kid.
None of it matters.
NONE OF IT WILL MATTER.
NONE IN 2 YEARS+.
DOESN'T MATTER NOW EITHER!

Nothing is fair to new players in every game. They have to learn and once they see players teaming, they'll make friends and play the game even more.

Sounds like a certain admin over at the official forums.

There isn't a problem with boosting, you're trying to make it a problem by trying to enforce a absurd rule.

Most players that team are players that are starting out.

Gralats yeah. A lot and fast? No but yeah still unfairly getting them. Squad hours? Lol cmon boosting squad hours... and kills? If you wanted to boost pks ask ipandavi. He will tell u that showdown is the worst way to boost pks. Spar stats? Lol no one on earth would wanna boost bomb spar stats. Im in favor of removing the gralats reward for showdown. or making it smaller that way all this boosting bs will go away.  

Just stop teaming plain and simple. Either stop or get in trouble for it. This is not going to change any time soon. So the choice is yours... When you get in trouble for it that will be your fault and yours alone.

It will not be tolerated in spars, events, or showdown. I don't if you team at bases or on the map.
