Disconnected for stat padding ?
Hello, I'm a new player with roughly 30hrs in the game and totally enjoying it so far, but I have one problem :
I got disconnected today for "stat padding". As I understand it, this means that I was supposedly abusing game mechanics to farm in-game currency or xp right ?
The problem is that I was playing as usual, repairing MAXes (and there were a lot of them), dropping ammo at a VS base we were attacking, and launching a lot of smoke grenades inside their base, I don't understand what I did wrong ? Am I not allowed to repair multiple MAXes at the same time ? smoke grenades don't award xp so I think this is not the issue, but I wouldn't want to be banned for being unaware of some rules, so please tell me if I was doing something wrong..

Also I'd like to point out that I was playing ALONE, no friends in my team or in enemy team..
(And sorry for my english, not my native language)

You're going to be fine, you probably just got too many XP ticks of the same friendlies and triggered the stat padding threshold. It's there to combat people which intentionally waste ammo and resupply each other to get XP and thus Certs without playing the game as intended, usually with the help of scripts which perform these actions automatically.

Oh okay then, thanks for your answer !

No system like this should exist in the first place, it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid. Just adjust the xp rates so it can't be 'abused' to earn a 'ton' of certs. Nothing like not earning xp because you've repaired/resupplied the same person for too long, how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dare you apply teamwork you peasant.

Then they removed the bounty system because some people were 'abusing' it when it's their own stupidity that allowed it to happen. Yea, ban people for YOUR mistakes, classic DBG.

It's in place to prevent stat padders as elaborated in my earlier comment.

Didnt even know something like that was in place. Should be a system that lowers or locks exp accumulation or something similar instead of a boot from the game.

There is a guy on my server named Laggytwat (changed his name for the people that would cry name and shame) . He abuses the system by running multiple internet draining apps like bitorrent, all in the name of exploiting the game and killing you so you cant fight back.

He admitted to me in chat, says how nothing is ever done about it and just keeps on exploiting away. I reported him (which captures 20 lines of chat, and him admitting he does it to gain an unfair advantage) and yet nothing is ever done to that brit.

At least they crack down on these max repairing engies though lol.
you will find about 75% of the players use laging exploits, but daybreak supports cheating exploing and out right lag BS look at the koreans.

If you really think three out of four players use a lag switch, it's either the server or your connection to it that's the problem.
