Reputation farming cheat | Forums

[Adairean]

Is there anything you guys can do about the players that farm the player vs. bot (usually dominion or skirmish) where 2 or three are grouped up and just run in circles at the spawn point until the match ends and wait for the next match to begin. I've reported all I come across as cheating but have seen the same players doing this for days now nothing having been done. I've got a video of it in action if proof is needed to have this looked into.

Unfortunately its not an exploit or a glitch or a cheat, they will get the same xp as everyone else so its not boosting either. The devs put this in the game and people are taking advantage of their system, the devs need to fix it some how, at the end of the day rep is just a number and doesn't mean you are good so let them.

Not much you can do I suppose other that report for griefing, quit and look for another match. Ubi need to add "report for AFK" as an option in-game.

I really don't see the point of it; I mean it's great and all to have purple gear, and be rep 10 or whatever without any work, but they have no actual idea how to play the game. And it's not like you can share loot or steel with other players so there is totally nothing to be gained from it aside from personal progression. The only other reason I can think of is they are achievement hunting; you know, the players with 200k Gamerscore, who seem to have played every game going but never got close to 100%'ing one...

Haven't gone over these rules but they usually state you are not allowed to do anything that allows you to play the game while unattended. I'm aware that the only thing they are gaining from this is visual and doesn't give the player any actual advantage. My issue with it is that I can't jump in a game to practice a new class against bots without just being overwhelmed by the other team b/c I'm the only one that is really playing.

Actually you couldnt be more wrong. Ubi even said to report them and send all info to the support team. I'm sure they will be getting punishments soon. Maybe you should read the ToS and the Rules of Conduct more closely. Any conduct that interferes with anothers general game play. I'm sure in a 4v4 2 afkers are definitely interfering with the other twos game play. Especially if its causing them to lose.

They can just farm accounts for selling on ebay or whatever for profit so anyway they should be banned bc they not playing. They just should be kicked from lobby. Its just stupid that you dont need confirm nothing to start another match, ubi need just add buton to confirm you want play another match in same lobby

Glitch: In public declarations, glitch is used to suggest a minor fault which will soon be rectified and is therefore used as a euphemism for a bug, which is a factual statement that a programming fault is to blame for a system failure.

Exploit: In video games, an exploit is the use of a bug or glitches, game system, rates, hit boxes, or speed, etc. by a player to their advantage in a manner not intended by the game's designers.

Boosting: In multi-player games, having other people assist you in getting leaderboard position or achievements by having other people help you in ways that go counter to the game's design. Most often done with one team throwing the game to another.

So how am i wrong? because all of the above are forbidden in gaming and these afk players are not doing any of these.

Who read the ToS no one. regardless of what it says ubi wont do nothing to no one other than kick them from that game. People are only afk against bots. there would be no benefit for them to afk in a brawl or duel.

I don't agree with them i'm just being realistic.

Game has mechanics to kick players who are AFK. These players are using tools, to make game think they are NOT afk. Using tools to fool the game is fraud / glitch. Using this glitch to regurarly gain advantage is exploit.

But silence of Ubisoft and no action taken by them for last two weeks makes me think that these AFK farming is probably intended game mechanics. In that case I'm really disappointed that I did not receive set of rubber bands while I paid for gold edition.

LOL the only tool they are using is a hairband wrapped around their controller to make them move in circles, that's not a glitch. The only benefit from doing this is a visual gain, it wont affect the leader boards when we get some.
