Crytek, I really don't understand your sense of humor. I've just joined a server to enjoy some CTR and earn some extra xp (even though I intended not to play till the next patch) and what did I see? Out of 6 players, 5 were boosters (except me naturally). When I tried to play by the rules, they proceeded to try and votekick me (with no luck apparently).

Even though I emerged victorious, I have now become certain about not ever playing this game at least till a new patch is out, which MUST fix boosting and stats/achievements resetting. Please prepare your games for both release and the following events accordingly. Thanks.

And a screenie:

i never see boosters on official servers. (i nerver see boosters too but i only play on EA/official servers)

where do you play ?

Pretty much every server will have some tard saying "don't shoot me, let's get some XP"... blast em!!

Boosters annoy me too but technically they aren't cheating. They're just not playing the game in the spirit it was intended. When I find them I just slaughter them, easy prey IMO, it's only when they lock their servers or kick people who are playing properly that I have an issue with them.

There are some servers that appear to be set-up for boosting and they should lose their ranked status. As for boosters themselves I don't really see what can be done about it, other than putting a cap on scores per round or something.

I believe it was NFO server. Unofficial, but ranked.

That's what I did, but in this case THE WHOLE SERVER consisted of these tards. I came to simply play CTR and was unable to.

Fixing the issue probably? It's not so hard to check whether a player drag-and-dropped a realy or carried it for over a minute, is it? Or how far from the base a returned relay was.

This seems to be a common feeling amongst people who don't know anything about game development. Just adding in features is 'easy'. New game mechanics, new cheat protection, new APIs, balancing is all just 'easy', just write a few lines of code right.

It's not easy, trust me.

I don't see why would you imply that I know nothing about game development, since I am a programmer. This fix would require a distance check (upon returning a relay) and a timer check, with the timer starting upon picking a relay. It requires nothing of what you mentioned above.

I can add another fu*** to the list.

Hey I played with that guy.

poor kari lol

I believe it was Adam who said they will be looking at all the stats for the prizes and boosters will not be included for the winnings.

I want a t-shirt, but I'm stuck at work all weekend! daaaamn

Boosters are not going to win the prizes. Professional gamers will.

It's hard to tell a booster from a normal player just by looking at xp (given booster gets some kills/caps in between his "boosting sessions"). Plus, they still get double xp.
