I have a feeling he will still be telling the tale to his grandkids Jokes aside, why do all threads always have to derail because of this? To be honest I think this is a good example of how Bioware used their ban hammer but then the player got on the right track. This is exactly how it is supposed to be. I heard only good on this player and I know he had some stuff before, but people do make mistakes. I do not think Mike needs to explain stuff here. This was a good choice by Devs to give a person another chance. Once the community is against you then its really hard to prove anything, this is the internet after all. What we should be concerned about are those cheaters who arent here on forums helping other players and adding to the discussion. The Top 3 and Gold players who enjoying their flairs, gotten through cheats, silently in the game. At least this player has the character to come back and prove he made a mistake but has changed. I do not see posts from players I cannot name..... Anyway thank you for the update @Mike, those statistics will be welcome and as for the players getting together to cheat, you cant only rely on programmed software here, that really needs to be analyzed.

*looks at leaderboards *checks sentinel/maruader ratings oh look, 2nd spot, guy from Leviathan....

Picture the situation now, the only way to get a 258 MH/OH is to get monumental crystals or crafting mats from Queen HM. Imagine you are a weaker player on Leviathan and the weekly for Monumental Crystal says do Queen HM or 50 ranked matches (i mean points, u know). So what do u do? You cant find a group that can do the queen on HM so you que SR. If 7 players get this idea you will get your SR pop. Now imagine there is an elite player from DM on this server..... "the one-eyed man is king among the blind"

Ok Mr. Facts, here is the statistic from Season 10 where you can see number of pages on Leaderboards per server: SF 98 SS 66 TH 34 Lev 14 DM 134 The if you are Top 3 and you have been playing on TH then you have faced 4 times less players then on DM and 3 times less than on SF. So this is meant by "low population". Sure its a biased figure, but it still proves Meros point.

I think Stubenhocker is already doing that.

Dear Mike, people already provide good feedback so ill leave it at that, but just do not forget one thing: rewards for daily/weekly. This was a source of issues in the past. On one side you can fix matchmaking, class balance, etc but keep in mind that if you overdo it with the rewards for ranked PVP like crafting mats, Unassembled components etc people will que for ranked messing up all that you have worked for. So if you manage to pull all these changes and ranked becomes good again, please also focus on this aspect.

Numbers would indeed be a nice way of showing the work of the Devs. Now, we do not see much, we can only count the names on the leaderboards, but without knowing if it was 1 account or 10 accounts we have no idea if someting was even done.

Guys, lets not make this thread into "those" threads again. We know the PVP community will want to discredit anyone who goes against them and will bring up this stuff. Please keep in mind, its the internet, Photoshop is your friend, you can make toons on other servers with specific names, appearence, make videos etc. This is about wintrading and not naming and shaming.

Its funny to see how people have no clue what went on but they make their own version of the story and write it on the forums as if it were the true story! A repeated Lie becomes the Truth I guess.

Please listen to this person! He is absolutely right!

4000 coms to buy pvp gear and another 16000 coms to upgrade to ranked gear! That was great, fair and also kept you busy for a while till you got the coms! This would be the best way.

I think he has you here

I think that is a very big setback if they reinstated all those cheaters, just because they all wrote to swtor disputes.

Cool! Can you schedule me for a run?

You guys do realize that guilds are already selling this, right?
