    Because they are using an exploit, and when they are bested the people who have done so deserve the kill. This guy was destroying us and I finally got the best of him and he just magically disappeared. That is not okay, and a logout timer could be implemented easily to stop this from being a problem. Why do you care so much that I care?

    Yes soon EVERYONE will do this. Just like vehicle decon. You think they would of learned from SWG

    Just pointing out the stupidity of worrying about them logging out.
    The threat was removed, by death or logging. Its foolish to even worry about it.

    I don't care about other people's stats, OR mine for that matter. What I DO care about is getting the certs to buy new, cool upgrades and weapons.

    It's such a simple fix, to just add a short timer. If you log out you get a 10 or 20 second countdown. You can skip it and go straight to the character selecction screen, but your avatar remains in-game for the full 10 or 20 seconds and can be killed. Problem solved! And all you hardcore, badass players won't even notice anything has changed, as you bask in the glow of your own awesomeness.

    The point isn't that the threat is gone. The point is that so is my just reward for killing him!

    Yeah yeah we get it, you are so l33t and oldschool, you dont need XP in this game.
    Except this game is about XP, badges and rewards because my access to equipment depends on it. If you dont care about such things then just shut up. I do care. If i dont want XP and that crap i play Arma 2 where i dont have to grind hundreds of hours for new stuff because i already have everything and dont have to deal with all those jerks ingame or cry-nerf-babies on the forum.

    if the looger is killed it is usually 1000 xp (without any bonus) because high threat and vehicle kill that someone would deserve but didnt get because the logger is a *****. That's 10 infantry kills (which takes about 10+ min for the average user) or sitting 10min at a facility waiting for the cap.

    You only deserve the honor of a good K/D rating, when you take the death that happens like the man that you wannabe.
    In other words: You don't deserve to be respected, when you act like a "p u s s y"!

    Well originally we tried to get as many highscores as possible to spell out dirty words in three-letter increments.

    Well if you think about it hard enough you realize theres no timer in either direction. He can log off..hes gone, then he can log back in when hes ready..he hasnt died and now hes back in game.

    If you play correctly, and die..low and behold you have some form of timer....uh makes perfect sense right?

    Play fair and you get penalized...be unethical and cheap and you reap all the rewards. Sounds American to me. Just like us folks who got married and changed over our social security info like we were suppose to. for decades us idiots who played by the rules got charged higher taxes just for being married while folks who smartly shacked up, had tons of kids out of wed lock and or never updated their social security info got charged less taxes AND got thousands in tax refunds they werent actually due.

    yep the American way. = log out if youre about to die.
  10. Nariquo

    well MY GOD: they are logging out for stats padding MY GOD what a problem.
    think about it: why do you even care?

    That's what I'm trying to figure out.. Why these peeps care so much about it. I just laugh, forget who it was, and move on to the next target.

    Finally, you understand. XP comes in regardless of what you are doing. You could learn a lot from old school gamers, and how we conducted ourselves.

    If you are like me and do a bit of EVERYTHING in a play session, and gets lots of assists, the XP rolls in and its not a concern. I'm too busy shooting at tanks, planes, vehicles and their angry owners coming after me and defending bases and repairing them, and hunting down that infil and taking out that enemy squad beacon, etc, etc, etc, etc - I don't even care or notice someone who would log out, suicide or otherwise 'deny me XP'. Its really a non-issue.

    No, this game is about fun. It will always be about fun. It is only the mentality of the modern gamer, who requires rewards for every single thing they do in a game, that the developer is trying to keep happy. And that is never enough. Nope.. To the modern gamer, they need level ups, badges, achievements, casino sounds, etc to feel good about themselves. Play for fun. the XP will come.

    I'll never shut up. Secondly, I care too when people are trying to nerf everything they don't like in a game that kills them. I'm offering a different perspective on game topics you may not have considered. We don't have to agree, but I would never tell you to shut up.

    I'm sorry you feel that way. If perhaps you just let the XP come in as it will as you play, presumably for fun, such antics by other players won't bother you and really will become insignificant.

    Then finish him before he can. If you can't, shrug your shoulders and move on to the next target.

    then put in a system that lets them disconnect but we can still kill them shrug your shoulders and log back in oh well.

    No finish them off before they can log out. Or you just dont get the kill.

    No reward for no kill.
  14. Saigak

    Daddy? never heard about im.

    P.S. "In my opinion Suicide should Give -1 frag to the statistic. Especially for those alltheday ramming Scythes."
  15. LordShockTitan

    Simple solution, add a timer.

    cant put a timer on the power button :)

    this issue is unsolvable
  17. Boomotang

    You can keep someone in the same spot for a certain amount of time even if they disconnect..........

    Either you're for people logging out and denying kills or you're against it. There is no middle ground on this topic. I'm guessing the people here who say to not care are the immature rage quitters who are doing it.
  19. siiix

    look you can verify it , i have a KDR of 0.3 and i'm BR55, so obviusly i'm not a KDR polisher
    YET i say this is not a big enough issue to be death with, in other words it does not matter.. devs should not waste they time with BS like this
  20. Qoph

    So ... is this something that someone can get banned for? SOE is banning other people for "unsportsmanlike" behavior ... so why not this? It seems like plenty of people have seen this Daddy person do it, among others.
