If they don't listen, its their loss.
Yes, it is. However, I generally like helping out the newcomers on Exit Path so that other people don't have to be called a hacker. I used to go around Exit Path helping a lot of people on the game.
And as you can see from the posts in my guide, the people that listen and do have accounts were grateful.
An unrelated question, but have any of you played a game where everyone stops and messes around at the start/finish? I have and it's really fun.
I used to do that often, but after finding all the secret spots, I gave up on it.
Also, it's amazing that Matrix takes the time to show us all screenies of something we already know.
It takes two minutes to take them, crop, save, upload. That doesn't much time, and it was for proof that people do it.
And, if I saw someone bench press 500 lbs in real life, I would probably immediately think "well done." Then... "God, Matrix needs better analogies."
You're obviously not an ignorant person, and about the second part, it's a perfect analogy for the situation.
0/5, try harder.
Your analogy is not particularly accurate because it doesn't take the individual player levels into account.
It would be more accurate if the person doing the bench pressing is of a much more smaller build than you and does a lot more bench presses. In that case, it wouldn't be a stretch to call foul play.
On my account I still get called a hacker, so it's accurate.
That level 41 that called me a hacker was also called a hacker, even though he didn't do as good.
Define "new to the game". From those pictures, everyone that wasn't the Grandmaster was fairly new to the game.
When I use 'new to the game' I mean level 1-5. I think that these people have enough experience/matches played to play against someone that has done the double jump.
You have no idea if they didn't have any other reason to call you a hacker. Which is why you are ignorant, as per your own definition.
They labeled me a hacker because they saw me doing the double jump and finishing levels quickly.
There's their reason for it. A civilized individual would ask questions, but these immature children or adults on Exit Path just go out and call hacker at everyone that finishes quickly.
The definition describes them, not me.
you have no idea if they had other reasons or not.
Yes I do, they talked about it on the chat.
And it's only a fact to YOU. A new player cannot know without playing and dying themselves.
It's a fact within the game, of course they don't know it, but they could ask around. 'How'd that player do that?', then I'm sure that someone would inform them.
'New player', I started the discussion, so I use my definition of the word, which is a level 1-5 on the game that couldn't possibly have much experience/matches on the game.
You had by far the lowest level in that room, which means you appeared like a new player to them. Yet you got times that seem impossible, except to the best of players.
I informed them I was a GrandMaster, but I wasn't logged in.
it only makes sense people would get the suspicion you were hacking.
I hold suspicions all the time, but I don't go out and jump to conclusions at every given moment. I try to prove my suspicions, and asking questions first about the matter.
No, not everyone is like me, obviously. But they should do the right thing here and ask a simple question.
I guarantee you, if you raced using a normal high-match account, the number of people proclaiming you to be a hacker will be lower.
It doesn't, before I started my schoolwork today, I played on my account and I got called a hacker even more on my account.
Since it was a very high win ratio and that I finished each match just as fast, everyone in the room called me a hacker. These players were in the level range of 15-25.
^^^^^ TL;DR Grandmaster slap-fight!
This made me laugh, good job, John.
Wow that's in-depth. But this very serious disucssion is annoying me. Just be quiet and follow the rules and talk about Exit Path, not your own moral considerations.
We are talking about Exit Path. But most of the time when I post here he comes out the woodworks with these long posts.
KentyBK is right, he is talking about PREJUDICES, and every single word of it was right. People judge before they even know what they are talking about...
I'm not sure who you are, but seeing that you only have two posts in the forums, and you've had your account for quite some time. I must suspect that the people at Ghosts chat told you to come here and take a side. 0/5, try harder.
I don't like coming online to have to respond to a wall of text.
