YT isn't the solution

Leaderboards are stupid and skewed. They prove nothing. Case in point, Solid. The guy was awful yet farmed alts for points to get that "i'm so l33t" ego.

Yellow text benefits in so many ways. Showing where pvp is, who is being griefed, exposes assholes who are ccing, and I'm sure theres a ton more.

Global ooc makes a serverwide trade channel and lfg.


Also, in regards to Vile. I have 36days played.

Lol @ Silikten's mouth still affixed around my nutsack.

History lesson for people who didn't play VZTZ 2.0: VZTZ 2.0 was launched and no one knew PVP stats were being recorded, or that it had a functional leaderboard- i.e. no one farmed alts. I griefed retards like Silikten all day, and then when the inaugural leaderboard was released, I was head and shoulders above anyone else on the server. Wasn't a huge deal for a baller like myself, as it was obvious who the Alpha-male of the server was at that point; but neckbeards like Silikten still dwell on it, and still make up baseless accusations rationalizing how they had 1/3 my leaderboard score, even 2+ years later!

Anyway, while I can agree w/ bitter-nuthanger Silikten on some points, what he doesn't realize, and what should be addressed is: the VZTZ 2.0 leaderboard is not outcome determinative of how an actual leaderboard on a PvP server would function. Again, no one even knew it was operational.

So: Did it offer a one-time look of purity into who the top PvPers on the server were w/o any garbage like score-padding? Yes.
Was a secret leaderboard compiling a score of any benefit to the server? No.

If you genuinely want to have a conversation about how an operational leaderboard would work, you should look to servers like Kings & Bandits that had fully functional leaderboards, and measures in place to prevent alt-farming and such.

Considering VZTZ had YT, want to explain how Solid farmed alts with server wide broadcasts on who was slain?

Exactly. Furthermore, there's no evidence of all of this alt-farming even though it was readily available to the hundreds that played during VZTZ's prime. Occam's Razor. Logic, deductive reasoning, and commonsense demonstrate why Silikten is just a bitter neckbeard. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
