[quote="Absolute Zero"]You tl;dr commented on the previous posts, and they all contained the exact same facts.

Red reformats to level 2 for the same reason I currently am. Cross faction experimenting on how the maths work. For instance, we are currently testing the effectiveness of rank 10 armor. I don't know if you noticed, but 10 rank 2 strength is not a good build at any level. We also are doing so with mod permission. we were keeping it quite until we had more data, but the decision has been made to go public. A lot has broken in the game over the years. A lot has also been changed, and the previous work done has been lost to resets and time. So there's that.

Second, it really bothers me how you ignore the fact I have told you in every post that there is a hard cap for XP, an -actual- in code rule for it. The fact that you are exploiting that it is broken at higher levels. I even provided you with the actual numbers. If you would like proof, I will reset someone and screenshot my level with 0 upgrades. Exploiting the broken code is still an exploit. You are guilt of that whether you agree or not.

Also, don't assume I didn't call people out on it in Darkmount. You are not the first person I have called out about this, the difference being, code was actually added since the last time I called out Autobots for it. That code was added specifically because RevengeOfStarscream was sitting at level 1 with 2 million XP and refused to level up. As I said, the caps are more than generous. I am not telling you to level to 11, as you very easily could. I'm telling you to at least level up to the cap, which would put you at level 9, at the least.

And, as I am sure you know, there is an exploit for cheating those hard caps. As evidenced by https://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=510337 and the current build https://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/character.php?character_id=105655 . 100,000 is well above the level 0 cap of 40,000 by more than twice, and appears to have reset since they would have been over 40,000 xp, and used an exploit to remain at 0. Since it seems pretty far fetched to believe that over 60,000 XP was gained based on activity level of said bot.

You may argue that it gives you no unfair advantage, but that isn't true. You are violating the rules laid out in the code of the game, and as you argued with the alt mode, and the written rules clearly state, no matter how slight the advantage given, it is against the rules to take advantage of a loophole or exploit at risk of a ban. Now, I am not saying you need to be banned either, just that you legitimately run the risk of being banned as you are -clearly- violating the terms and conditions laid out in the forum for playing this game.

Also, we both know the reason Hallowjack is able to stay at 7 with 0 fire power or skill is that you have a prototype weapon equipped. It would be a shame if those prototypes were brought up to damage appropriate equipment requirements.

Now, you might not like the rules, but they are what they are. You really _should_ follow them. Especially if you are going to demand others do. You do not get to pick and chose what rules you follow or force others to follow and what you exploit.
