Also, I'm not that great at HB, so my rank goes up and down depending on who I fight. So I sometimes fight with people who want to play, and most of the time I fight against RR people, probably because 95% of the people in HB on Z-Quest day are trying to do RR.

Could have fooled me, you and Chris seem to be having a grand old time messing with people.

Honestly I wouldn't even bother playing if I was bad enough to get into rr range. Generally (from what I've seen at least) people who actually fight normally don't rr. So really even if most people in hb rr then you should still be fine because you'll only get people with a close rating to your own.

Chris mistook my post for making fun of the guy, I was really just trying to prove a point.

I'm in about 1000-2000 range. I've heard that RR range is only 950-999 but I still come across many people demanding red resign and wishing me a happy RR day, so I don't really think it's restricted to any rating group.

LOL. This has to be one of the stupidest and most hilarious posts in the history of this forum. Congrats. Am I the only one who finds it hilarious that not cheating is considered griefing now?

To people suggesting "fixes" to this problem, you are wasting your time. To people saying rr isn't cheating because Anet isn't banning for it, you are retarded. To people saying they shouldn't ban because the game would be dead, you are also retarded.

All that happened here is Anet sponsered and promoted cheating. The game has gone down the shitter, and this is the epitome.

Sounds like it's time to break out Scott Adams' "Which is more likely?" test. All you need to do to apply it is append "Which is more likely" to the front of each proposition and draw your conclusions. This one's pretty obvious. Either it's all part of ANet's intricate master plan, or the devs just don't care about GW1 any more.

(Essentially, this is a way to have fun employing Occam's Razor. You'll almost always end up selecting the more parsimonious explanation for the observation.)

Question: Is leaving like 2-3 min into a match considered exploiting the system?

TheRaven · Oct 19, 2009, 03:43 AM // 03:43

RR Day from my perspective:

Well, I've never done RR before. As a matter of fact, I've never done any HB before. I guess I'm what you'd call a PVE scrub. I've dabbled in RA and AB. I really enjoy HA when I can convince my guild to go, which isn't often and I'm only Rank 3 there so I don't have the rank to join winning teams without guildies. HB, however, never really sparked my interest.

So I've heard about RR and decided, what the heck. I'll try it once. I went in today with my alt account which I quickly discovered had about 20 skills unlocked. LOL, try putting together a decent Hero team with those stats. It felt like sealed deck. I cobbled something together and made my way over to the battles.

I was nervous going in. I didn't know the maps and I didn't know what to expect. Would everyone resign? Would I need to fight most matches? Do I resign immediately or after the gate opens? And I know PvP players are plenty rude to us that don't know what we're doing.

For my first match, I was blue and the red guy left immediately. No resign, he just left. Ok, that seemed simple enough. Next game, I was Red and I left. Next time I was blue and red stayed to fight. He quickly won.

I ended up having to fight about a 3rd of the time this afternoon when the Z quest first started, but you know what....it was fun! I didn't run into any snobs that cussed me at for being a horrible player and I actually won about half of those fights. (Yeah, that's pretty sad when you don't resign yet you get beaten by a PvE scrub with about 20 skills to pick from.)

About a half hour into it, I decided to use a bit of that faction on skills. I looked up a promising build on pvxwiki and unlocked the needed skills and runes. It worked great after a few adjustments for personal preference.

All in all, I had a great time. If I was red, I left. If I was blue I won with no contest most of the time. Occasionally I fought, and didn't do too badly. I have no problems with people that stay to fight. You can't force someone to resign and I don't think it's right to get mad at someone because they want to win.

Why would you wait to rr day to "play" hb? You farm the quest like everyone else get real.

Icy Spicy · Oct 19, 2009, 05:15 AM // 05:15

unless you are hording 20 stacks of zkeys, you have no reason to hate RR day, it doesnt not affect you in any major way... fight them when you are red doesnt do anything, 95% of the people are RRing, it doesnt matter if you want to prove a point or whatever

in terms of being "not normal gameplay", GW is no longer what it used to be 3-4 years ago, there is nothing left to do except farming/running/speedclearing/grinding, just dull, and dead, if people find RR fun, let them, its not like there is anything else left to do lol... if RR is gone, people will just go back to their regular routine

god, i do "love" that attitude of "let them play". end sarcasm.

so not being able to pvp at ab/fa/jq/ra is not affecting me what so ever?

funny, cuz ive could have swear that i got c15 juat about at every match.

gfg.

tw1tchdp · Oct 19, 2009, 08:39 AM // 08:39

im seriously hoping they do something about it. i havn't exploited it and im having a hard time trying to AB... any pvp for that matter.

Gun Pierson · Oct 19, 2009, 09:57 AM // 09:57

A good old server rollback (3-5 months) would be a statement from Anet.

Clean start, I'm sure the real fairplay people wouldn't mind as it's for a good cause.

Griefers...the lowest of the lowest, worse than laming. If you're one of them, congratz, stay away from cute little animals, see a shrink and take your medicine in time. Thank you.

tw1tchdp · Oct 19, 2009, 10:10 AM // 10:10

ANET USED BAN HAMMER! come on 2 week bans. atleast 1 week bans i would be happy. just for lewls

upier · Oct 19, 2009, 10:16 AM // 10:16

I finally got around to doing it and I approve of this new game mode!
HB is fun!

rb.widow · Oct 19, 2009, 10:24 AM // 10:24

Maybe for badness Anet will come back with, we warned you RR was cheating, so now we changed SF to have a 60 second recharge time, happy UWSC to all.

They could also see in their logs that I was actually quite active helping guildies and just chatting in general.

Wawa... I wan't my account back!

Well if you looked about, you would see Anet are having issues with some peoples accounts being caught up a bot script and being banned, several innocent people have reported the same thing and had there account unbanned.
