Cheating in WOT

Quote from Frode

I've seen figures as high as 5K$ for a Purple account that had all of the current Clan War reward tanks.

If you just dedicate your life to this video game, you too can make less than $5 an hour grinding stuff for sale.

and regular cheating is easy. It's more like a mid level computer science challenge. Games like AH should not leave so much to the client.

Now, you also have to look at the millennial mindset in all of this. Video games move beyond mere entertainment, they become a chosen social medium, where all of their closest friends aren't people that they go out and party with, or go hunting together, or even work with. They become someone on the other end of a Ventrilo, Teamspeak, or Discord connection. It's not a relationship with any actual human connection, where any person sees the true, gritty person that may actually be someone else...it's a disassociated sort of version, where yeah, someone might be talking about personal problems, or successes, or anything of that sort, but it's all at arm's reach, so that in a sort of propholactic way, It doesn't really matter to the gamer. So, it becomes the ideal social interaction. Now, in this sense, things like statistics, or game performance, now have become a way of really impacting a person's social standing within a group. for example, Colleges and Universities are now adopting E-sports as another branch of their club activities; This is the impact that gaming has had on this generation. To this end, you now see where cheating at games such as WoT has become not only a big topic, but has a large draw. Yeah, 50k games is ridiculous. But there's many with that many, even higher, battle counts. And remember, WoT is going on something like 10 years online. It's ancient by video game standards.

Who has the time to play 50k battles on wot?

I have played just under 30k - in a bit over 12 years

About same. I find I don't get 15 game losing streaks in WOW

What's your lifetime win loss %?

Counting short term win-loss streaks is called the Hot Hand Fallacy.

I am a hair over 50 although the higher percentage is at the mid-tiers. I played last night for the first time since spring, played about 10 matches, most were an endless Sea of red and orange lost nearly all of them by a mile. (Obviously this isn't cheating, but it never changes)

my w/r and all other ratings have declined steadily the last 8 years. A large part of that is that I now play mostly just to kill time and piss off people.

I play faggot french arty.

Quote from Bronk

that does piss them off, their tears quench my thirst

that prem faggoty shit needs nerf bat hard.

whiners got the m44 nerfed yet again

good

Artillery, in it's WoT form, never should have been in that game. If they removed it right now, they could probably bring back a substantial portion of their playerbase.

if you think thats bad... go try WoW. CVs have the best camo. Auto fire extinguish that is unlimited. they are getting auto ASW. They have unlimited aircraft ... i can go on and on about the suckage of CVs.

That didnt drive me away... fucking subs,however did.

You mean to say, that the fucking ridiculousness of Destroyers' dissapearing right off of the surface of open water in broad daylight at only 7 Klicks away from any other ship doesn't factor in?

Quote from Shuckins Deux

That hasn't really solved anything. M44s are being parked in the garage and replaced by Leaf-Blowers....

I have been rolling tier X prem heavies and intentionally ruining games, my way of retaliating
