I am a player that has played since BWE#1 and I know most of the high ranked players (as I run with many of them every day and many are friends of mine). As many of us rank up – playing each game as it is suppose to be played – we get disgusted when people find and abuse Rank Exploits – like the old Skyhammer farm (which has been fixed by ANET).
Over the last week I noticed an individual “I Playa” up at Rank 69 – a name I’ve never seen before. I noticed him in a number of games and noticed he typically only scores 5-25 rank points each game I have seen him in. Many of us asked each other – how did he get up to that rank (Since no one has seen him before) – and with such low scores each match. I asked him who his main was (since it could be an ALT) – and he said it was “Playerz” (who we saw a couple of weeks ago in the high rank 50’s). We watched him more specifically and noticed that he would join a game typically towards the end of a match (and would not continue to the beginning of the next match). We also saw him just cap one point or kill one person then go hide somewhere (specifically we saw him go AFK at the top of the Clock Tower in Khylo). It then occurred to my friends and I that he is just collecting the end bonus win for each match and flipping from game to game to get an easy 100-200 rank points. It is faster to rank up flipping form game to game (towards the end of each match) then it is play out a match like you are suppose to – which is very sad….
ANET please fix this. – Thank you.
