The golds in the silver districts are basically like the Global Elites from CS:GO. I assume we talk about this who claim they got global elite, quit CS:GO, cause APB is boring but simple excavation of their Steam profile confirms they have multiple VAC bans? I call them CS:GO rejects. Edited November 5, 2019 by Mitne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RuiFilipe 5 Posted November 5, 2019 Its not too hard to lose some matches to turn Silver and them move to any Bronze District to be Super-Heroes on everyone below their skill levels... wich some of them do all day everyday. Some of them I could see on FC top chart or in Silver Districts as Goldie as they can be playing with other Goldies. it seems G1 turned green vs these goldies and LO took over the same match and its geting exploited the same way. Gold Districts are empty because they only play on Silver pushing Silver Players to Bronze District making real Bronze and Green leaving or even rage quiting to never return instead of improving… we want more population in the game? or is it too much and we want to kick people off?

Darkzero3802 611 Posted November 5, 2019 Heres a simple fix, bring back the exp modifier. Way back in the day if you were gold going into silver you had 10% deduction in respect, money and exp gain however if you were bronze going into silver you had a 10% boost. Bring this back but if your a gold in bronze you get hit with a 90% deduction. This makes it pointless to stay in the dist as you will always be at a cost to stay instead of earning anything and a 20% deduction for golds in silver. If golds want max earnings they will stay in gold. 25% boost for bronzies in silver dist as this will help them lvl faster and earn more money to buy stuff which will lvl the curve some. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will when the new content is released and even if your currently max rank you still need to make money to pay for stuff so it will affect them abit now but it will really hurt once the lvl cap is raised.

At the end of the day LO needs to start enforcing their rules and actively monitoring/policing the community in order to truly fix community behavior problems. While I suggested something its not a 100% fix so long as LO doesn't step it up. 23 hours ago, CookiePuss said: They are mid level contacts, so the same exp as current mid level contacts.

Lovely while i believe rules need to be enforced I also need to stress perm bans over this would make the problem worse it should not be used for anyone , but only the ones who are 100% dethreat gold , who are definitely true golds , who are just that cruel and want to get easy matches. some detrheat because they do not stand a chance against golds in the silver district. while i do not agree with dethreating , i can understand why that particular scenario happens. in their case i pity them , since they are only high silver , and ranking and threat is broken and say otherwise. to solve this threat problem though we do need a larger playerbase , so getting the engine upgrade completed as well as other major issues completed is essential to being able to lure in a new playerbase that includes being able to invite your friends in as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Threat needs a complete remake theres no arguing that but in terms of ppl dethreating theres no excuse you shouldnt throw matches at all. I was in their shoes at one point and I just sucked it up, its how I improved my skills and got gold. Now that threat is broken gold means shit but you still need to make an effort in matches. As for dethreaters they need to enforce the rules and if the same ppl are continuously doing it yes they should get a perma ban, if afew ppl are made examples then ppl will realize its not worth losing their acc and $$ over and this wont be a big issue.

Spillra 135 Posted November 12, 2019 Ah you see, this can be 2 types of players. People trying to feel good about themself so they dethreat and then ego boost, or just bad players that are inbetween gold and silver. both of them are simply known as pissgolds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perfect example is threat shaming, anyone lower then gold is spit on by golds and called bad so I wonder why everyone under gold doesn't like anyone whose gold. Once again the toxic nature of this community on full display causing a rift and causing new players to up and quit before giving the game an honest chance. Then these same players wonder why the pop is so low and complain when there called out or a suggestion is put out there. In lay man terms the population is killing the population. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A slight problem with this , is the very " toxic nature " you are talking about is what you are clinging to as well and is shown in your comment. The community is far less toxic than it used to be , but you still seemed wounded by the past. " heal up " - D.va Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still see it in game and this forum is littered by it. It isnt going to magically disappear. And no my own threat doesnt bother me as I dont give 2 shits about a broken threat system. When its revamped and fixed maby ill start caring enough about it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
