Dear friends, we’ve recently uncovered an exploit that allowed the players to earn an unfair amount of points by healing allies as a Medic.
We’ve fixed the issue, but, unfortunately, in the “Not a Step Back!” competition some unscrupulous players have used the exploit to earn extra points. Competitive events are meant to be fair to all participants, and as such we consider those actions to be unacceptable.
We thank all the vigilant players who have reported this issue to us, and hereby pronounce our ruling. The game sessions where a player used an exploit to earn extra points were excluded from calculation of their rating. As a result, such players lost leading positions or even left the scoreboard, depending on how much they’ve used the exploit.
Also we would like to congratulate other participants of the event with well earned places and rewards. You are great!
Q. Why didn’t you block the violators?
A. dishonest players had very few such fights. Most - 9 fights. When they realized that this exploit did not provide significant advantages, they abandoned this activity.
The problem was not so serious, besides it is our fault. We approach punishments strictly, but fairly.
Is it conceivable that this would change the points (even if only slightly) of someone who did not take advantage of the exploit? I guess you didn’t manually review people’s battles, but recalculated battlerating (e.g. with maximized assist points).
I do not know. I’m not playing now. But according to the situation yesterday afternoon, that was quite likely. I thought you’d still regain fifth place tonight but what turned out to be an unfounded assumption.
It’s a shame, many athletes who compete in the Olympics game have also worked out many hours to compete, but they have all been banned for doping even once. There should be no tolerance for dishonesty. Ironically, @青青草原革委会主任两脚羊 is the only one who try to DEFEND himself even though he recoginized his dishonest. Such hypocrisy and dishonesty is so horrifying, he even deservers permenant ban in the event.
More precise translate: Why are you so hurry(he means I try to explose their dishonesty while half of the russian forum is reporting them), it does no help lmao, it’s all over.
