Wait, I dont really get this. Was one guy killing one other guy, or one guy just killing the **** out of everyone else with ridiculous powers? If the former is the case its just another instance of a perversely biased game construction. Could you describe the exploit a bit more explicitly? Sorry, yeah I know I am dumb, but I want to learn.

FYI: I was in a match with 13ear yesterday. First thing I do (solo player), I look at the team-board, to see if my team has a chance of winning the match at all (most matches you can reliably predict the outcome this way). So I can adjust my tactics. So in this match I see a squad with 13ear in my team. I think: great, so were gonna win presumably, because there is no corp squad and no big names on the other team. I get into the squad, because it isnt locked, to toss a few WPs into the orbitals direction.

When I am finished with my usual 1st suit action (dropping pads around the map), I run logi for the match, establish a "bridgehead" and try to make it work. But we cant seem to get the upper hand. I look around, cant see 13ear anywhere, though the other squaddies are up with me. When I look at the map I see the "squadleader" AFKing back beneath the MCC. I make top of the board of my team with 1700 WPs. We lose. I dont believe my eyes.

Morale of the story: If you want to be on top, no tactic to get an advantage is below you. You dont deal in selfrespect, you dont deal in fun, you dont have ideals. You just function. I think thats it.

Correct me if I jumped to conclusions here, but thats my understanding of what was going on.

The most OP weapon on the Dust Battle Field: One good logi, one rep tool, and a heavy.

The booster and his 'red dot' friends go to a secluded spot on the map. Then the booster kills one of the reds (usually an alt) and his 'buddy' revives him. Rince and repeat. Its a lazy way of farming WPs/kills in a match and 'boosting' how much awards you receive and also your place on the leader boards. Such antics are a large part of why I personally feel KDR is utterly meaningless in this game. And yes this is boosting=cheating.
