Players In Game Name ride109

Which Game? Battlefield 3

Which Server? BF3 METRO NO LAG | ALL WEAPONS | TBGCLAN.COM

What is your in game name? WhiteLight593

Date and time approximately 2021-present

Offense committed Deliberate continuous team stacking. Evading the server's auto-balancer.

Additional comments I'd figure I'd be the first one the mention this player here. There have been several players who are complaining of ride109's disruptive habit of always switching to the winning team, creating an extremely unbalanced gameplay for everyone. Here are some of the scenarios I've observed:

- If ride109 tries to switch to the winning team, but the server switches this player back to stay on the original team, this player will disconnect and reconnect until successfully placed into the winning team.
- If ride109 is switched to the losing team via auto-balance, the player will disconnect and rejoin the winning team.
- If ride109's team ends up losing and retreating to base, the player will disconnect, reconnect, and join the winning team. In many instances, the winning team's baseraping intensifies.
- When a new round begins, ride109 will study the scrambled teams and switch to the team with the strong players.

While there is nothing against the rules for a player to strive for a high KD, this player's unconventional methods to do so disrupt the balance and enjoyment for all players in the game. While other players stay on the team once switched by the Auto-Balancer, ride109 never stays put. I've read the server's advertisements of reserved slots/anti-balance for those who donate, but I do not believe ride109 is one of those players with this privilege.

Please see player's history events here: https://tbgclan.gameme.com/player_histories/events/9305757

I encourage other players who read this post to speak out their experiences as well. If no action can be taken against the said player, then perhaps this could be a suggestion to enact a rule that stops team-switching abusers. There are also accusations of cheating against the said player, though that can be discussed in another report later.

I 100 percent agree with White here. A LOT of people suspect this player. He also notorious of swapping to winning team and disturbing game balance. He joined as a low level a few months back and maintained the same k/d and never ever seems to have a bad game. He goes on kill streaks, then pauses and rinse and repeat. I've got him on video of what I believe is a one shot kill. I hope someone can review this.

At around the 5 second mark, when played at 0.25x playback speed, a single bullet caused 100->0hp. Not even a headshot. A "rapid fire macro" cannot justify this. There must be a damage modifier / cheat run in the background by ride109.

This will be looked into.

Greetings,

After looking over your report I have found nothing that we will be taking action on.

His team switching or leaving and coming back, ect ect....there is nothing wrong with that. As you mentioned there is nowhere in our rules that stops someone from doing that. It would be insane for us to take action on.

Now as far as "Team Stacking" goes.....grow up. Seriously. Not 1 game can ever be truly balanced. It's impossible. No amount of plugins or tweaks to the server will ever be able to fix that. There are way too many variables and #1 of them being the human variable. Everyone plays different and has different skills. You want something that's more balanced and pairs people with equal skill? Battlefield may not be the game for you. "Team Stacking" is nothing more than a convenient excuse people use for when the game is not going thier way and their team does not cooperate or communicate properly. I cannot tell you how many times TBG over the years have been absolutely harassed for "Team Stacking" when 4-6 of us get together to play the game.

My apologies for sounding too crass with my statement. But it just gets old when nobody takes the time to rationally think some things out. Especially when it comes to a game that has many different moving parts to it both for players and for those that run the servers.


Thank you for your time,

~Irish
