Bob the Builder server, the great stain on the HLL community.

[Pr0fessor]

Title says it all.

The Bob the Builder server is the embodiment of everything that's wrong with this community. It facilitates to all the players you do not want in this scene.

If you ever used Bob the Builder' server, you are trash, complete trash and you should feel bad.

For those that don't know: Bob the builder is a server that rotates offensive maps where people use a game mechanic 'exploit' to level up their rank and unlock classes/equipment.
All they do is stand in HQ, drop supplies and hammer for hours to gain exp points.

Absolutely disgusting.

Why am I saying this? It has come to my occurrence that there are more and more players of substantial higher levels (75+) that have absolutely no clue on how to properly play this game but they walk around with top tier kits and camo unlocks.

Whenever there are dumb higher level players with the situational awareness of a rock, I think to myself: "Ah there goes another of Bob's minions".

Have a good weekend!

report the server then and have it closed down, there is nothing wrong with the community just some farming servers that help you level up fast.

Thanks for providing me with an example minion.

The purpose of ingame rank is to reflect experience and combat capability. You seem unable to understand this very basic aspect of the game and how Bob's server is eroding and destroying this tactical component.

Soon there will be no difference between a level 25, level 50, level 100, level 150 or level 200 commander, because you can no longer believe the ingame rank being representative of ones skill and experience due to Bobs exp farming minions.

As much as I also hate that server, rank has no relation to skill level. All it tells you how much time someone's put into the game.

so if you read my comment i said report the server and have it closed. there is nothing wrong with this community, just the servers that let people farm to level up fast are the problem. the funny thing is your part of this community and right now your coming across as an angry bunny, want a carrot?

how does that make me a minion, i think its silly friday as we have the guys on the other post advertising ps and whining as well

I've heard of this, but it's little more than stolen valor. And it can't be much fun. These people may show points, but they still won't have the skill or experience to match them. What an empty waste of time.

I would say you are correct about skill level to a certain degree.
Although time put in game represents allot of important things: Map knowledge, Often used Garrison spots, Tactics, Flanking maneuvers, Good/Bad spots, How to counter certain things, Where to hide/move, Where or not to go with tanks, where to build AT guns, proper emplacements construction, etc etc (you can make this list really long if you desire to do so).

Experience (and something (rank) that represents it) is important in this type of game. Bobs exp farm negates all these lessons an experienced player would have learned along the way.

hey thanks man, i was able to finish unlocking the last two classes in one go. this server rocks lmao

[PizzaCrunch]

The only think a lot of players seem to get experience in is running in a straight line to the next point.

[Bleepie]

thanks for letting me know so i can stay away from this server

It's a computer game - there is no valor, stolen or otherwise - valor is only for those that actually put their lives on the line.

---

The stain here is on the computer game industry for using grinding as a mechanic to sustain engagement - I am not going to single out any one game (plenty of games are guilt of it).

If the industry actually wanted to reward players for skill / clever tactics etc, they should implement a system that actually rewards those aspects rather than simply providing a system that rewards a specific set of actions, regardless of if those actually help the team win.

Now onto the BTB server - I have not used it, but I have no issue with it - it is an answer to a poorly implemented grinding mechanic - any such implementation (in any game) deserves such servers.

player level doesn't equate to skill. Someone with a decade of FPS experience is going to wreck higher level players just from situational awareness, better positioning, comms, and tactics.

Couldnt care less. If they wanna waste time leveling up while I have fun so be it.

[WooF]

Cool i have to try this server out so i can rank up thanks for the info!

You seem upset about this because you can't rank stack any team for the easy win anymore.

i played APB: Reloaded for years, people would always go off about how rank = skill, rank means absolutely nothing

also, every single game these days is a grind, not to mention having to play different games during events to get exclusive stuff that you wont get any other time.....well some games you can get it later, for a price
