Does high K/D always mean modding/cheating?

There was one guy who kept killing me but I got him back a few times

You said that if he has a high K/D there's a high chance of him modding/cheating.
I'm asking why?
I explained in my previous post how incredibly easy it is to raise K/D. No mods or cheats required.

Because it means you're not fighting fair or don't fight at all by avoiding them.

If you kill a lot of people, you will piss off a lot of people and will attract the attention of good PvP players / Griever hunters as well.
Exprerinced players know how to deal with broomstick boys and they will fight them.
If you fight a lot, you will die a lot. no matter if you're a noob or a pro.

therefore an extraordinary high K/D is an indicator for people avoiding battles by either cheating or leaving the lobby as soon as they killed a bunch of people, preferably low levels.

Hunting low-level players and leaving a sessions when someone starts to fight back is not really the same as cheating/modding in my opinion.
It's vile, sad, disgusting and proof that someone is a ♥♥♥♥.
But stil not cheating/modding.
I can see what you mean though.

It's stat padding and and that's also a form of cheating.

They kill people who can't fight back either by sealclubbing or by just running away.
Therefore their K/D doesn't reflect their skill and that's why K/D is totally worthless in games like GTAO.

K/D may be an indicator of those things, which is why it's recommended to do MC work in friendly or solo lobbies. Someone's intention will be clear at the end if they are directly going towards your way, or are in a facility as soon as you start MC missions.

K/D however isn't an indicator of skill. This game is among the few where killing yourself / taking EWO won't negatively impact your K/D, which is why tryhards incessantly do it. Orbital kills increase your K/D, but ofc holding down one button is a lazy effort to do so

Depending on what ur calling “high”. 10? Prob not cheating. 500? Yea prob cheating.

It doesn't matter if you know if someone cheats via KDR or levels. They're not going anywhere.

...
You're not a pvper then. Given all the goodies R* has graced ourselves with you can manage extremely high KDR without ever dying. Stalemates with people teleporting to missions, ghosting, passive will happen though.

No, I'm not. at least not in GTAO and exactly because of that.
I prefer fair fights.

K/D is worthless in every game ever made that uses it. There's literally no point to it besides bragging. Great for showing which players to stay away from, but other than that it serves no real purpose.

I wouldn't say that. Games that are actually competitive benefit from k/d.

Gta is not a competitive game, which is why it's pointless in this scenario.

Then your opinion on GTA pvp is about as worthwhile to read as an alien doctor's 2nd opinion on human diseases.

That is such a bad analogy lmao.

Considering the technology that would be required to cross the vast distances of space, along with the irrefutable fact that there have been unexplained abduction stories going back decades....

An alien doctor's 2nd opinion would probably be a pretty damned good one.

Hmm how games benefit from k/d? Even in some game like csgo all these rankings in the end manage to cause toxicity, spread all the boosting, smurfing etc. When you see 0 stats for other players, these games always have more relaxed atmosphere.

Lol. Who sais that?
Brag in front of a professional PvP Plaver about your GTAO - K/D and he will laugh at you.
As long as GTAO is not running on dedicated servers using a resilent Anti cheat-protection,
and as long R* is incapabale of offering equal fighting conditions to everyone, your K/D in this game ist exactly worth nothing ;-)

Only me not playing PvP in games like GTAO any more doesn't mean I don't know how it works. I used to play PvP when I was younger.

This isn't COD or Halo. GTA pvp has never been fair. That is the point.

Yes, I know. and that's why GTAO K/D is absolutely pointless (especially since suiciding is considered to be a tactic in this game as well, but doesn't affect your KD^^)
