Some of you may know me, some may not. I used to be a fairly active player within the AU MCGamer community, but as I explored other games I slowly grew away from Minecraft in general. *rant incoming*
Now since the leaderboard reset on MCGamer its no longer skill to win, you just grab a buddy and farm wins. Sure you need a certain amount of skill, but its not all skill anymore. I admit that its always fun to play with friends but to play with someone that you know you could easily beat and grind the wins. Now comes the quesion where do we differentiate between teaming with friends and win boosting?
Shouldn't a leaderboard reflect skill not ability to gain easy wins by teaming with people you can easily beat or that will /kill for you? I could name specific people doing this, but that could offend people, I've looked through some peoples recent games, and players and quite often you see people constantly teaming and always being the last two left and never winning. Its not just normal players that I've seen doing this, moderators and even senior moderators.
On the point of moderators and senior moderators win boosting, I've had moderators get me on a teamspeak only to accuse me of boosting, and the staff will keep a constant eye on people boosting. But to the people that aren't staff they will get accused and punished a lot easier than a staff member.
Sorry if my english isn't the best, I really couldnt care.
I cbf typing anymore I'll finish it later.
