XP exploiting or stat page bug?

Meecrob · 2012-12-02, 05:04 PM

I was drooling over my stats on the stat page here, when i decided to check the general leaderboard. I found a few anomalies on the first page allready. Like a battlerank 47 "Nigg4" in second place with 301 kills and a guy named "rapeist" battlerank 40 / 57 kills.

I'm not saying that it's impossible these scores were achieved without exploiting/hacking or whatever, but it seems highly unlikely...

Anyone have an idea?

Edit: They also all seem to be VS ... wich points more to a stat page bug than exploiting tbh.

I think Sony said the leader board was bugged or something. It still wasn't working in-game on the servers I played as of last night I think.

Yeah i realise it's quite bugged, but the stats on the page here at PSU seemed legit.

But yeah i guess it will be impossible to say where these anomalies come from. So for now i'de say, case closed.

Check their other stats. Most likely medic.

If their favorite class is Engineer, might be ammo pack farming.

People have noticed it.

The stats are od and stale now, still waiting for them to get the API updated.

Not sure if it's highly unlikely. Repairing a turret with 65% exp boonus (6 months subscribtion + alpha squad exp bonus) gives you around 300 exp per turret you repair. Not to mention how many exp you can earn by throwing your resurrection grenades as a medic.

What's amazing is people with 1000+ K/D ratios.

The leaderboards are bugged. I myself have been #3 on the server for a short while, two days after launch.

And plenty of people in my outfit have reported it.
