So how come you are able to change stats of different PR players? Isn't it enough for testing if you make it possible to adjust your own or the devs stats? Idk how all this works so just curious, but seems very strange to me. When i asked other people close to the devs or whatever they just say "it's just a prank bro" or similar stuff. But I'd appreciate it if you explained it to me somehow.

How do you think when I was a DEV I would do so well in game?

Can I not ask a serious question and get a serious answer? The question did not imply anything nor was it disrespectful. It was a completely normal question and I'd appreciate it if Groho responded to me instead of you making fun of me.

No need to be rude.

Thanks.

Maybe it really, really is just a prank?


VTRaptor: but i only stopped for less than 10 secs and that fucking awesome dude put 2 of them

]CIA[ SwampFox: well my definition of glitching is using an enemy kit to kill the enemy

Just_Dave: i have a list about PR players, and they r categorized by their skill

Para: You sir are an arse and not what the game or our community needs.

AlonTavor: Is that a German trying to make me concentrate?

Heavy Death: join PRTA instead - Teamwork is a must there.

Making fun of you? Not making fun of you I am agreeing.

Always try to have a Dev in your squad, that's all I'm saying.

How come you are also avoiding the question and make fun of it instead? Are you offended by me asking? I was not implying anything and did not mean to upset you. I don't understand.

It would be much appreciated if you again stop making fun of my question and actually answered it somewhat seriously. If it now is "just a prank" can you please explain how and why? I have a hard time believing that groho created a program just to troll the forums.

Alright thanks. But then again I'd still like to hear why he was able to select different players and not just himself. What's the purpose of that? Or did he just photoshop all of it? Would be great if someone explained.

A wild guess would be for other DEVs. If I can make an assumption is that the list shows all online players. He fetches them from the prspy. While in reality he can only modify the players that are connected to a special (test) server. Its simply lazy programming.

I am in high doubt that the DEVs would go around and nerf/buff specific players. Or are even able to without access to the live servers.

EDIT: Or it is simply photoshopped.

I don't even know what it originally looked like. My best guess is all that was done was some string renaming of whatever tool it was used for?
Then again Poxo might be fooling us all. :d uh:

Why Photoshop? It's not impossible to make your own GUI.

I would be disappointed if that was PS. I expected that proxo quickly recoded the GUI just for that one troll post. Shouldnt have taken more than a few minutes.

[R-DEV]Ninja2dan: Not having a spotter is like masturbating with a cheese grater...mildly amusing at first, but generally painful and bloody in the end.

Thornehaw: If all this have been evidently true, Battlefield is a much scarier and dirtier than ever imagined. Not a conspiracy, but a possibility. If it is true, then trusting another is quite worrisome.
