You dont have to be "super leet" to rack up the points in a big farm. You might not maintain a great k/d but its pretty easy to earn certs.

A few people on Briggs were banned for stat padding. I think it was 3 or 7 days at first, if they did it again they were threatened with permaban.

They can do whatever they want, I don't give a shit. Every one of my kills is legit and I just goofed around for an hour on an alt the day that I was quitting the game. All my characters are alive and well. My K/D's only ~1.5 or something; if I'm padding, I must be doing a really shitty job. Unlike others, I didn't libfarm and call it skill to hover like a dark cloud over a bunch of defenseless players leaving a spawn, or get in an HE prowler and blast dudes at Vanu Archives all day while a repair bitch with an ammo sundy sits there repairing me.

Statpadding is crossing the line but kill-farming is highly praised in this game. SOE designed this game around KDR, not PTFO, so don't even bother playing the objective. The highest ranked players in this game are farmers, not objective players. Because racking up easy kills is by far the fastest way to level up so you should design your game play around this. Shoot from spawn room, rape with your ZOE max or hop into the Harasser cert tractor is the way to go atm.

First time I came across this was was a little bit surprised at first. We had just captured a facility and I was working my way back to our squad sundy and there was a room with about a dozen players consisting of all medics, all TK'ing then res'ing each other. Needless to say, I walked on by...

Like others have said, it is a sad thing to do.

As for "kill farming..." I've never had the pleasure and I always appear to be a farmee than a farmer LOL

If you want to farm certs, here is (one way) how you can do it:

Grab a UBGL, go to a biolab your faction is attacking with some opposition, switch to LA, jump in the port, fly out the hut and shoot at the hut campers. Rinse and repeat. Did that a couple of times with my tr char (my vanu has no grenade launcher), ~80 kills in like 15-20 minutes. Beats every statpadding, costs no resources (well you can fit in a grenade here and there for extra xp) and most of the time you'll even end up with a positive or ~1 k/d ratio.

Sure, you accomplish jack shit aside from costing the enemy some time for revives, it feels a littlebit cheesy and you see the spawnscreen every 15 seconds, but ohwell.

OR, grab a cloaked flash with a fury, proceed to the bottom of the jump pads at the bio where the enemy sundy is, unleash a few volleys , cloak , change positions, fire again, go get ammo...rinse repeat. You can't go wrong farming sundies as they spawn.

If you revive someone who got teamkilled, it doesn't give you experience.

The more you know.
