(RMT) Boosting Is Becoming Quite An Issue

[Astryoneus]

Hello everyone.

Recently, an issue of players boosting others to high ranks in the leaderboard has become apparent. These boostings are typically done by the user giving their account info to the booster after a RMT has taken place, that player will then play on their account gaining them the ranks.

For example, this season in Aether it has become especially bad. It is fairly obvious that one user is being boosted to the top 100 ranks. This user is brand new to PvP, people playing with in custom matches too where they played solely DPS and Tank. All of a sudden, they started playing SCH at an incredibly high level overnight, gaining +687 points in a single day. Something which is not achievable by any average player, much less one that only started doing the Feast this season and playing suspiciously like a user who publicly advertises himself as selling these boosts.

As a community, I hope that there would be some more clarification on these boostings being looked into. If you cannot catch the booster, then at least doing something about the person buying the boost to unfairly gain ranks in the competitive Feast mode, making the ranks worth less. I imagine this could be done by checking IP login locations, especially the differences between when they suddenly have a huge rise in rank. Punishing the user who would buy the boost by banning and surrendering the rewards would help immensely in discouraging these purchases and help keep the board more legitimate.

For the sake of keeping the mode fair, competitive and fun, I really hope that you all in the SE team can take a good look at this issue.

Sorry but, SE follows a strict policy in which they doesn't accept screenshot and/or other evidences outside from their very in-game log.

I'm not quite sure what you're referring to as nowhere in the post was it mentioned that they should or "we" are offering evidence for them to look at outside of the in-game log.

And I'm aware of that myself, having been part of the PvP community since 2.2.

You should document when you see then playing normally, and then suddenly when you see them playing the different class at the different skill level. This way the GM can look at the skill log and maybe the IP addresses too as proof from their own end.

They have access to the IP address they can tell and see what other account has been logged in.

Yeee ok Mr. GM

Yeee ok Mr. GM

Saving this, dunno how many times I’ve been told they can’t take other evidence

Boosting is cheating, and cheating should NEVER be tolerated. We have players here that dedicate time and energy to earn these rewards.

Boosting should be a permanent ban, especially since it is an inherent and essential component of RMT.

I feel that this problem should be addressed, especially with a major PvP event coming soon. We cannot have our PvP community plagued with cheaters and RMT if we are to promote competitive Feast.

This Problem has been here for far longer. All of this started with Season 3 Cause people noticed that Wintrading and the use of 3rd party software didnt get punished (Hi@ speedhacking Tank with quadrillion medals) Then people started selling Ranks even more often and more obviously. If i remember right there was a Player on Aether once that got boosted to Rank one, obtaining 800 Points in a single Day. So thats that.
