Feast (Light Party) and Boosting

There is a big difference between organizing games for actual competition and win trading for the sole purpose of boosting player(s) to the top. That being said, Balmung being as big of a server as it is and holding the 2nd highest avid pvp player count on Aether. We had no intention of just having one team queue against these boosters, we'd have multiple, even teams queue for sheer desire of real competition. Linkshells dedicated to PvP would flock at the idea of players actually feast (party) with a chance of winning, while at the same time sufficing these boosters hunger for PvP and showing the world their god tier tank that can apparently carry 3 people flawlessly for 40+ matches. The boosters are just taking advantage of patch 3.3 hype and the pvp migration to Shatter.

Still waiting for justice and/or a response.

Not taking any sides here. Leave your pitchforks and torches aside for the moment... But I will say this: If judged by a jury of your peers, would they find them/he/she guilty? Consider the evidence. According to the peeps here you have already committed to "adjusting" matches, which would be considered cheating in most, if not all similar games.

Your post isn't written very clearly, and I'm kinda unsure of what your point is...But yes, I think pretty much everyone agree's that this is a prime case of cheating. I think there is room to be civil, certainly, but pitchforks and torches should be raised, because if nothing is done about this, then it will be proven that cheating is "Ok".

at the end of the day its only just a game.

These words are the bane of every competitive activity/sport/spirit and just leads to mediocrity which frankly makes whatever you are competing at not even worth participating in.

There is some evidences that tends to point out that the system was effectively abused to achieve a boost.

What i notice is that both side ask for GM/SE investigation on this case.
If he/she is guilty, it sounds like "let's rely on an official argument, they barely act anyways" to me.

Light must be shed by the official and whatever their answer will be, it must not be SILENCE

I agree, but unfortunately it seems to be what we are getting. It has been about a week since this thread was made, and not a peep from SE.

Is feast even happening? Is there a q still?
