Excessive exploiting tolerated by MA (explained by devastatingVodka) :'D

Sooo.... it isn't too clear, what I think they are saying is that if you relog after eating a certain combo of buff pills, the buff gets bigger than it should be after relog?

I have to admit (stupid) me never got into buffs but I see avas running around with about a million buffs enabled so I guess someone has either done the maths and found them to be worthwhile,... or everyone is just sheeping each other?

I can't help thinking "big deal, so a buff got more buffier" you still have to drop a ton of peds to make use of that that percentage gain on a percentage gain.

If I were MA I'm not sure I'd care either. After all, this exploit just encourages people to spend more money believing they are getting something extra. Where is the problem?

 

I think it works like this:

a critical hit makes you shoot double the amount of damage for the same amount of peds.
now for a normal crit hit buff, you pay the price of the pill (or looted it from a lootbox)
but if you can somehow cheat the system (relog) so you do more critical hits than are actually allowed, then you enhance your eco at the cost of others. you didnt pay for the stacking of buffs and it's not how it's supposed to work. so you do more damage than you payed for.
in a shared event most damage gets most loot, so if you do a lot of critical hits that you didnt pay for, then you still get most loot at the expense of other players who didnt eat pills and relogged.

for reload speed it doesnt matter imo, since you are still paying the peds to do the damage. You just spend your peds faster. So you do a lot more damage with a higher reload speed, but you still pay the decay/ammo, unlike critical hits.

 

Good explanation from Spawn. Also good points from NotAdmin. Can't disagree. Indeed it tilts the playing field as you say. I was merely trying to say that from MA's point of view (the Benjamin's) it's all good and possibly even better so I can see why they would de-prioritise this.

From my perceived experience MA have always been better at fixing bugs if someone points out to them why it is doing them (MA) damage. This makes sense though, I guess it helps them prioritise.

 

Great song and artiste! :)
