I wanna keep private stats so people with good spar stats cant go "look at his spar ratio" "ikr what a nub" "lol i could beat you ez"

Most people with LEGIT spar stats do not brag or make others look bad.
What you are saying is exactly the same thing with boosters.
I only have 21k legit wins, duke laughs at me cause his stats are superior, his ratio too etc...
Same thing.
But I get what ya mean.

I know, but I'm really fed up of the staff doing nothing against boosters.
Looks like I ignore all the rest, but you cannot understand the feeling we have.
I worked 2 years to have 20k wins, fe*s like duke get 40k-2k, showoff and think they're cool.
And what does the staff do? Nothing, absolutely nothing.
There's no point in sparring for competition anymore, as there are so many boosters.
Anyways you cannot understand if you aren't a player. Ask Shiz,Drake,Five, etc...its not only me, ask legit players.
Duke isn't the only one,
Seen zeus(he was reset) that dude had 20,000-6. And it took ages to get him reset, that's just lame.
Nothing is done, these people don't even fear the staff.
I should just start boosting to 100k like everyone else, right? Since nothing will be done about it.

I went over this with you in-game multiple times. It seems that there is a discrepancy between how staff handle these issues.
I was taught by my superiors (Auron and Jatz (Kane wasn't online at the time)) that it was a gray area because it's morally unfair but not technically against the rules.
Boosting is similar to scamming in a way, players gaining an advantage through a system they know is not fair but easy to do and get away with.
We do not reset and jail every scammer, so why should we do so with every booster?

We do make exceptions for the large-scale boosters and large-scale scammers.

Don't be so self-centred Ozzy.  

Right, Its all about me.
Like I said make a broadcast, about if people are fking mad about boosters.
Bet you'll get 95% pms complaining about that they're ruining the fun.

Comparing scamming and boosting is ridicoulous
You get scammed because YOU drop an item, the other one takes it.
Boosting, people use theirselves.
I mean I don't even have to justify this crap, but yeah nothing will ever be done about this, waste of time.
Keep encouraging people to do the wrong thing, bet era's gonna make it far that way

Ozzy, why do you spar exactly? For fun? To be the best? To have the best stats?

Ozzy, why do you spar exactly? For fun? To be the best? To have the best stats?

Because I like sparring.
A.k.a fun.

A.k.a fun.

if its for fun, then boosting shouldn't affect you, you just play the game and have fun. don't look at others stats, if they harass you, block them.

the other two reasons snake said, I can see how that affects you.

I'm not saying that I'm for boosting, but it is very similar to scamming. Both are morally wrong and hard to track. But, as said, scamming involves the willingness of another player to drop something, whereas boosting cannot actually be controlled by others. If someone is caught boosting, wether by a staff member in person or a video emailed to the staff as a whole, they should be reset and punished through a ban or jail or whatever as soon as possible.  

No one really cares about boosting kills, I mean it isn't right, but it isn't that big of a deal. Sparing on the other hand is a big deal. Make it so you can only hide pks and we're fine.  

Ozzy if you spar for fun why do you care if others private there stats admins deal with boosters not you and stop complaining dont you think snk already knows lmao seriously.
You are a major douche and your one of the people that say "look at his spar stats what a noob" you want this removed cause you only think of yourself STOP COMPLAINING!

Nobody can read it.  

As i like to say: Hide your stats, hide your shame.

Dont remember who made this quote up but i like it

Anyways, if anyone made a leaderboard of any sort, both players and admins would be able to see it. Also admins sometimes do some sort of black magic soo they can see what the person is doing, that would be a good way to find boosters  

Boosting has gone way too far in Era. You see, if something was actually done way back when boosting first started rather than ignoring it (which is what most staff do anyways), it wouldn't have gone to the level that it is right now. I, alongside my gang have been on a hunt for boosters so that they can be reset/jailed/stopped as FlameCrow clearly said. You'd be surprised at how many suspects as well as ACTUAL BOOSTERS we caught in such a small amount of time of hunting them down. A rough approprimate, is about one every 5 minutes without any exaggeration. You see, this wouldn't have ever happen, or at least would decrease if staff actually gave out harsher punishents rather than the usual every time 'warning' which is absolute bs. It's not about the stats, it's about justice which should be given to every legit sparrer from the booster, by punishing that booster. The majority of the staff say that 'boosting isn't a big mattter' and 'who cares, you have fun, and mind your own bussiness'. This is because no staff actually spars at a competitive daily level. You try and LEGITLY gain 10k wins in a year whilst a booster can get that in a day, see how you feel. C'mon, I dare because unless you actually try it, you'll never know how had it sucks to be a legit sparrer.

Also, staff need to get it CLEAR one time if boosting is legal or not and not continue with the bs of its unfair, but illegal, and then legal at the same time. Also, punishments need to get harsher. We framed two f*ckers boosting in underground spar, with pictures, eye witnesses, recording, you name it and nothing was done. Not even a jail! It all ended up with Reno saying 'You're in luck .I don't have the powers to reset them.'. FlameCrow said all boosters will get punished, so WHY DON' STAFF STICK WITH ONE STATEMENT!?!? It seems as if all the effort put behind stopping boosting, making the gang, getting people, putting effort on managing everything, went right down the drain. Nothing is ever done. I swear, in every skill related game, boosting= straight resit/ban. Take BattleField, Call of Duty, Runescape, even frickin iClassic, all leads to a harsh punishment. So why is it that the staff on Era don't d sh*t?

Take boosting as a irl point and comparison to the game. The boosters are the criminals, the staff are the police, the witnesses are the people trying to stop boosting. The witness (booster stopper) sees an criminal (booster), reports it to the police (staff), the police punish the criminal. Yes, crime (boosting) will always continue, but the criminal (boosters) reign must come to an end by the cops (staff). Crime (boosting) will always happen, but it will decrease if the cops (staff) actually do something about it, otherwise, the community will be angry, which is exactly what is happening now. *cry*

Okay, about this topic. Yes something has to be done about hiding stats as this is the main reason why boosting is happening right now. People will boost in a quite time, get 1k wins with no losses, and no one will even know about it. This can be stopped by;

- Totally eliminating the 'hide stats option' (most likely staff aren't gonna do this because they hate us )
- Making it so that your stats are shown ONLY when you are in a spar arena if you have hiden them. (good idea right?)
- Removing other 'abondoned' and boosting 'hotspots' spars (such as the DragonBallZ spar and Boxing Spar) and only keeping the 'Lobby' of underground spar, and spar complex able to give you wins WHICH COUNT ON STATS (good idea right?)

I agree although i dont play era boostering is just stupid and people like duke and whoever boost should be punished with a quick reset  

Me how many kills do you have?


Noob 100000000


Me Un-Private your stats then.


Noob no you're jealous haha noob.


Me kill me pls snk  

That makes no sense at all. Don't people boost to get good stats? Why would they want to hide good stats? That makes honestly no sense to me whatsoever.

Also, the private online time and private stats was implemented to cut down harassment on new players.

If iEra wants to effectively cut down boosting, they need to remove all those excess spar arenas and have only 1-3 so everyone has to go to the same spot and it becomes impossible to boost.  

i think hiding stats didn´t change the harassment on new players, it just improved the `i am better than you, but i won´t show you´ attitude.
