Couple of farming cases recently got cleared.
*Snowman* farming case
ad10r3tr0 farming case
For ad10r3tr0, granted I did not provide many game numbers - though it was still a huge number compared to just about anyone else.
For *Snowman* good god it was a lot... I just picked the first 30 I could find on his front page with over half of his opponents being NR's.
He admits in the first reply that he sent out invites to NR's but later lies about it, read the thread for all the details.
Question:
Where is the line on farming? Can I just make a bunch of 5 person games on weird maps and collect NR's and profit? *Snowman* has 90% turns taken (90%!!) and is at the Major rank. Wow. That's some serious points he's getting from deadbeating NR's if he can pull that rank from that shit turn percentage.
I mean I am an honest player and I look at my games played.. not sure in 500+ games you could find even 5 NR's that I've played. It's not hard to play actual opponents...
I guess I'm disappointed because *Snowman* admitted that he's medal farming, and uses manual/freestyle on those games which skews the odds more in his favor against the NR's. He said he's doing it to get into a clan.. I'm not a clan guy but for whatever clans are out there, I recommend that you don't let this farmer in.
It just seems like cheating. I have a rank and I have medals and it may be lower/less than yours, but I earned it by playing actual opponents. That's more than I can say about the paper crown of ad10 or the plastic knives of *Snowman*.
