What's the problem with boosting again?

They're not cheating or using any game exploits as far as I know. They're simply making themselves easy kills for their friends and vice versa, and so therefore rank up quicker.

I'd take a booster over a cloak camper any day.

Edit: I read Kozzle's quoted post. Dude, get your wording right. That guy who got 20,000 kills an hour is obviously a cheater, as there's no physically possible way for a player to get that through normal means. A booster on the other hand plays a private match with his friends. He let's his friends kill him easily, then he kills them easily, rince and repeat until an easy rank 50.

I have no major issue with boosters as long as they then don't come onto forums or in game and try to brag or talk smack to others regarding their (inconsequential) stats, which is pathetic enough as is, but even worse when they're entirely fake, and that's what a lot of boosters do it for. To be obnoxious.

The other element is that it stops leaderboards from being a true reflection of anything, which for some people reduces their enjoyment of the game as they can no longer accurately see how they legitimately stack up in the world, and it then reduces the incentive to rank up and the whole XP system, as if it's no longer a reflection of your ability and can easily be circumvented, then what's the point? Where's the reward anymore? Would you go to work if cash machines suddenly started printing free money?

I don't play for those reasons, but a lot do, and by and large, boosters tend to be people with bad attitudes anyway, so I have no sympathy for them getting deranked for circumventing how the game was meant to be played. Banning is too harsh as they're not hacking, but deranking is appropriate.

Steven once again you have proven you have no intelligence worth speaking of. You are defending him for asking for help as you just stated?? May i point out the title of his thread..this one in fact.. see any questions?? no i see allegations..my case rests.

You are a complete moron and not worth my time. His OP is a question. TRY READING. ...and his allegations were correct anyway! They all are boosters! He just had his method wrong, but his core point stands while yours is invalid.

He asked a question about getting rid of boosters, and your defence is to claim he didn't ask a question (despite having demonstrably done so) and that he was throwing baseless accusations, despite there being an entire topic on here where the people he refers to all personally admit doing to boosting? You owe him an apology.

Try to engage your brain before you attempt reply next time, and try not to engage in such irony as questioning other people's intelligence when you're clearly lacking brainpower yourself and displaying it every time you post.

So getting to rank 50 within 5 hours isn't boosting? How do you figure that? I've checked some of their kills and they're playing on private matches with people just standing around, some have over 100,00 kills. 5 hours and 100K kills? Yeah that adds up. Over 20,000 kills an hour. Explain to me how that is not boosting.
If I'm not mistaken, you don't get experience for private matches.

And yet you were the one making comments about being aggressive steven? "You are a complete moron and not worth my time. "
Oh dear...
You are clearly incompetent steven. "and not worth my time"....Like i said in a previous post...leave where your opinions may be appreciated.

And yes Pox you are right...as i said before the intelligence of some astounds me. Good to hear you have =)

They play public in teams and take turns sitting unopposed in the crash site.

Tons of XP, no K/D loss.

I love how you have been repeatedly exposed as a liar and a fool, yet fail to address either, then keep claiming others have low intelligence, despite having been completely demolished and proven wrong by them.

I'm agressive because you were, and i'm giving you a taste of your own attitude. There's no hypocrisy in fighting fire with fire. You're nothing more than an idiot who thinks he's a genius - average internet elitist - and need putting in your place.

That is because, steven no such thing has occured and you know it. You have come in here purely because you are angry. well im ever so sorry but i wont feed your need for aggression. i have stated that you are wrong and you know that as well. It has been a pleasure speaking to you however steven, you have thoroughly entertained me =)

Am I understand ing this right? You are mad at boosters for being on the leaderboards? Odds are most of them are boosting for the achievement not a postion on the leaderboard. I highly doubt most boosters even care about the stupid leaderboard. They need a seperate achievment lobby so you can have your precious leaderboard.

Wait is this aimed at steven?

I love how obvious it is most of the time to notice when someone is boosting or hacking on the leaderboards in any game. I just want to see activision and treyarch go through the leaderboards and reset every account that has hacked to the top. I would laugh my a** off especially if they reset the peoples gamertags too.

Agreed about boosting pissing me off. Im top of my game almost every match and I've played a fair bit and then i see a level 39 which is all i want because i only plan on plain pro with 45 minutes played. When people figured out the boosting methods i went from rank 150ish in the world to like 1500. I'm a level 37 now and it frustrating to see people in the 40s who even say they boosted to get all the weapons and game types and then spank them in a match. Me and four guys and my girlfriend destroyed this team that had guys from the top 10 worldwide and it's frustrating to see these horrible players pretending to be good. Leader board no longer shows skill

i think you will find that treyarch are quite particular with this. it is impossible to hack black ops at the moment, only one or two claim to be able to do it. I think if anything inifinity ward should do CoD 6 leaderboard... now that would be hilarious!!

i knew that was going to happen im currently lvl 40 legit and i noticed that playlist gives off way too much exp for doing nothing special i hope they take care of the cheaters

Again I think you are putting to much into a leaderboard. You know they are boosters I know they are they know they are. A lot of it is for a worthless achievement. (Yes I said worthless) Which is just a form of crack for us chievo junkies. Leaderboards in game rightfully belong to avid players. I know if I want to see who's number one I discount the obvious people boosting and look at the people who are just as obviously NOT boosting.

By the way only Microsoft can reset gamertags and boosting by itself is not cheating. I would agree that if people are boosting for just leaderboard position it could be considered cheating. I'm sure in the coming months the few people playing this avidly will be on top were they belong and they can pound their chests about it and get ... Wait what do you get that you're so mad that boosters are on the list? New car? Money? Fame? Hot chicks?? The good players are good even without a leaderboard correct?

Who cares about playtime, averaging over a million xp a day is impossible without influencial earnings of XP.

Fear not members of xbox LIVE! Myself and a select few known only as "The Achievement Avengers" will be looking for boosting lobbies tomorrow where we'll be killing/griefing the offending Turd's within whilst earning legit XP. Our motto is "where there are Turd's, we'll be there to flush 'em!"

Did you ever get gusted off the map on Shadowrun by a Ninja Elf while you were firing a sniper rifle at your mates katana in spawn for the "That's One Frustrated Sniper" achievement? Well, that was me and..... THE ACHIEVEMENT AVENGERS!!!!

Just you try it sunshine lol

please do this and ban them there has to be a ton I mean come on, now I see wh reach had a rank cap.

I'm not talking about that game. I had mw2 in my mind.
Black ops was a total failure in my eyes
If you were talking about MW2 with the first 10,000 places in the leaderboards are hacked, and BO doesn't have this... who's the failure here?

Are you calling me a failure because I didn't like Black Ops? BTW I didnt say BO dont have hacked people on the leaderboard, I was just saying that MW2 leaderboards does

why are you bringing up modern warfare 2 leaderboards 18month after launch? Black ops might have its problems but as far as a failure... at least they manage the leaderboards. Way i see it from that respect it has been a success.


You mentioned CoD players, that's why I brought up mw2. Because the leaderboards there happened to be full of hacked accounts which I don't think it is in BO, but I don't know that because I sold it and don't play it anymore.

And you two claim to be the only intelligent users here? Hypocrites, thats what you are

You arent allowed to speak your opinion on Black ops when you no longer have it...

FAIL

FAIL

And you are how old? Of course I can say my opinion of a game that I've played for almost a month.

On a side note: I can say my opinion about most things in this world, even though I should happen to have no knowledge on the topic. It's called freedom of speech

Please stop trolling these forums will you?

I wasn't calling you the failure, I was pointing that finger in IW's direction.

I was saying that because you were talking about developers and games being a failure because of hacked leaderboards, yet you stated Black Ops was the failure instead of MW2's phucked up leaderboards and stats.

CRYTEK Please ban all Boosters ans cheaters! I don't care what there excuse is. Capture the relay is unplayable because of boosters. Match after match people just standing at the relay passing it back and forth. How is that fun?. Killing them is fun and easy but not as fun as playing the game. Its ruining the game type for players not boosting.Its happening on other playlists but not as bad. We will not miss any of them. SO PLEASE BAN ALL BOOSTERS AND CHEATERS! That is all thank you.
