Funny, as soon as I post saying that someone admitting to having stat padded last night, and detailing his experience, should have his stats reset.... someone drops me -1 karma. Nice. Good to know we have such a standup community here.
Well, I only had 1 karma anyways, but still!
Now you get -1 from me every day untill the day i die for saying he should get reset for 2 hours of fun, he payed 50$ for the game he should be able to play how he wants without getting reset by someone at EA who rubs his greasy ass nose all over his moniter all day resetting peoples stats all day. Im sure people get bored of the regular game and want something different. AND you, dont harass people for how they play for fun, it pisses me off when i see someone say "omg you played 2 hrs on a k&p so you should get your whole 400hrs whipped!1!1" he doesent play on your account, he doesnt have anything to do with you, so piss off and let him play his game and you play yours. Accually ive played on a K&P with a different account(ive worked to long on this one to risk it on a knife/pistol) and it is extremely fun, you should make a dummy account and see how awesome it is for yourself.
How nice, someone blatantly supporting stat padding, and opposing free speech against those who would break the rules. You know what? If he wanted to have fun on a pistol/knife server, he can go to an UNRANKED pistol/knife server and have fun until the cows come home. All he has done, and all you are doing is supporting stat padding. Give me all the negative karma you want, but no matter how you or he spins it, you're both support stat padders. You abuse the system, you get reset, simple as that. I don't care,
www.bf2rankedservers.com doesn't care, and EA doesn't care that he only did it for "2 hours of fun". The simple fact is that he did it. Yes, we all paid $50 for the game, however, thanks to the EULA, that DOES NOT give us the right to abuse the system for personal pleasure.
I'm not harassing people for playing for fun, I'm bringing to light the fact that this guy is an admitted stat padder, and showing him, and everyone else, why. If your idea of fun is doing something that DOES NOT break the ROE, then have a ball. But if your idea of fun is downloading the latest MSX hacks and going on ranked servers and cheating 63 other people out of a fair game, is that alright, just because it's fun? Hell no it isn't, and neither is stat padding.
I've played them once or twice on unranked servers, because I firmly believe in following the rules when it comes to this type of stuff, to do what I can to preserve the integrity of the system. The fun for me was a novelty, and quickly wore off. But any amount of abuse of the stats system is enough abuse, according to
www.bf2rankedservers.com and EA, to have your account wiped. This is not my personal policy, this is THEIR policy.

I do agree on 1 thing-- If your doing it for a badge, thats pretty gay and i'd feel cheated out if someone got theres on there 1st try, it took me 2 weeks to get it, and i ended up getting it on a 10min round on wake island driving around in DPV's jumping out and knifing people before they knew what hit them, now THAT gave me a rush lol i finished within 15secs of the round.
How is it any different if you're doing it for a badge or not? It's gay if you get a badge from exploiting the system, but it's not gay, not even wrong, if you just get illigitimately obtained stats? If I already have my expert knife badge, and sit there and stat pad an additional 100,000 knife kills, bringing me up from First Sergeant to Colonel, that's not wrong, just because I didn't get a badge out of it? Are you serious?

If your doing it for fun-- I got no problem with it, my advice tho is make a dummy account and go on, because you dont want a bunch of 10 year old crybabies reporting your good account to bf2rankedservers.com and get it wiped just because you were having fun for a hour or 2.
You have no problem with it, fine. But that is not the point. EA and
www.bf2rankedservers.com DOES have a problem with it, and they WILL reset stats because of it. Just because you don't agree with it, just because he "did it for fun", does not mean it is not against the rules, and does NOT mean it doesn't warrant punishment.
You want to have fun playing knife/pistol? Go to an unranked server where it isn't against the rules. Using a dummy account is just as bad as doing it on a main account, as you are supporting and even contributing to people stat padding on ranked servers.
