He got caught because someone didn’t like what was done and turned in a replay. Otherwise, this would have been never known and you wouldn’t be bitching here.

The punishments were only revoking the rewards, not permanently banning people from participating in future contests. If you read the rules clearly, it said that the grey areas were to be determined by a WG staff member rather than being clearly laid out black and white, meaning if two people did the exact same thing, they would likely get different punishments.
I’m not saying that what KingAlphyn did was wrong, but how WG handled it was pretty bad. WG didn’t even care about the fact that the contest was rigged, only after someone came up with a replay did they actually start to care. If anything, the 23 winning entries from the loltraktor event and any other event that has been possibly cheated needs to be permanently barred from competitions. Doing it to only a few is nothing short of bullshit.

There are many ways to mess with the scores. If you want to be technical, firing premium rounds and using premium ammunition can be thought as artificially inflating your score.

Only banned them from competitions??????

They should be banned outright and accounts terminated.

Getting caught doesn’t seem too smart at all, eh?

This is good news. However, I’m more interested in WG actively checking on entries, making sure that they’re legit. Otherwise, it’s all for nothing.

You wouldn’t get those rewards anyway, pleb scum. KingAlphyn was punished for being smart, he only got caught because someone betrayed him, not because WG cared.
