long time lurker, new poster...

I have been wondering this for a while and would like to hear some opinions...

Why pad your stats? Do they want unlocks? Do they want rank? Do they think people will be astonishingly impressed?

I am not trying to be patronizing in the least but it honestly is something I have been wondering about and this is totally aside from the fact that they are probably douchbags already so please don't reply with "they fucking eat dicks"

I think stats are a great addition to the BF series, but (for me at least) they are almost completely a personal matter...I can't imagine a scenario in which anyone elses opinion of my stats would matter to me in the least...so...what EXACTLY are padders really thinking?

they think you should be impressed about their stats and fear their skill...

granted, and i do think that is mostly why but virtually all the guys I have seen have ridiculous numbers that are obviously padded (and being so produce not respect but contempt when seen), like victims of 200+ and rounds of 500+  and it just seems like there is somthing else at work here as well...

I often wonder if it's akin to the MMO mentality of finding a loophole and using it as much as possible before it's closed

i cant really think of a reason to really pad the stats... i also just have a look at my stats for personal reasons, just to achieve a medal i didnt have yet just for that nothing else...
they just want to be look upon..
childish...
ah well, you just have to try to avoid those guys and try to have no matter what

I look at stats as goals to reach for while you out killing. Like was said before its not a benchmark vs other people, just yourself. So stat padding kind of takes half of the game and ruins it for yourself, no one else.
