Feast (Light Party) and Boosting

[Dimitrii]

With an expected < 3weeks til season end it would be nice to get an official answer on this.

Regarding what? They never announce disciplinary actions regarding specific players. If they do anything you will know when they no longer appear in the rankings.

Exactly it would honestly be pretty bad business to release information on investigating and actioning players.

They may be preoccupied with patch hotfixes and the like. Ah, well.

Well it's clear, if you look at the ranking boards, that no action has been taken. That very fact contradicts the official statement SE made that is stickied at the top of this forum. This essentially means that SE is passively saying that it is ok to cheat, as they won't do anything about it. It is plainly obvious to anyone with any fraction of a functioning brain that those screenshotted by the OP are guilty of some sort of cheating. Those point gains and win perecentages are not natural in the slightest.

Really late to this but I just wanted to pop in and say that ping doesn't mean you can't compete. I play in New Zealand which has approximately the same ping as Australia and I PvP just fine, even managing to squeak my way into a gold rating in Feast. I heard that a couple of the top people in Feast on my datacenter also play from Aus/NZ, and one of my friends even plays from the Europe region which has the most horrendous ping coming from there and last I checked he was high up there in the ratings. Yes, there are disadvantages like it's harder to react to a melee LB but there are also advantages like if you quickly turn around corners around a wall it looks like you're going through stuff and it's real confusing, at least, that's what my friends told me. I always wondered why people seemed a bit slow when chasing me down.

500 ms ping to WoW sounds like you need a better ISP. My friends I played with in WoW prior to the Oceanic servers, we averaged about 200-250 ping and we were all over New Zealand and Australia. :x My couple of Australian friends also don't have that bad ping in this game either. We get about 250-300 ping if we don't use a VPN.

Hold on...is this particular group just now finding the time to all PvP together? Like right at the end of the season? Did the Middle East just get Wifi? 0.o

Sounds (and looks) like they were hoping to blitz the leaderboard at the end of the Season while Feast has been effectively dead and unpopular now for at least a few weeks. Possibly hoping this sitting comfortably at top wouldn't pay any to watch boards until few days before the season concluded, at which it would be too late for those usurped to catch up.

Seeing as he is still there in the rankings it looks like he will end up getting away with it anyway.

Yea I share that sentiment. It was as if they just started playing when 3.3 hit and the scene was going to die. It was pretty common knowledge feast would be empty. Not to mention they didn't even try when we did play so that tells me they wouldnt have tried against any other team. So in reality there's no real way to defend our spot against them and they're ok with that

This...

It's just super unprofessional and very hypocritical when someone is explicitly breaking the rules THAT ARE STICKIED IN A THREAD AT THE TOP OF THIS FORUM and nothing is being done about it. Whelp, I guess 8 legitimate players are getting screwed out of top 30 rewards, and 1 person out of top 10!
