I had a player giving me grief because of my in game stats and I was a bit put-off by that. I was a in QP. match. I wonder if that qualifies as Code of Conduct violation or not. He was a T1 player.

Remember, this is the internet, one needs to grow a thick skin. That he got under your skin, he technically won, in that he got a reaction out of you. And the solo/group queue is currently combined, at least for the next 4 weeks. I really do not see that changing.

Looking at Jarls, (gathers info that is readily available here on the website), I would say you are likely Tier 3. The PSR -Tier level has too much of an upward movement but PGI has failed to acknowledge it over the years, since switching it from Elo MM. I am aware of several players who have played 10s of thousands of games who are Tier 1 or Tier 2 where their current MS (Matchscore) ranges 171 MS +. Tiers and PSR (Pilot Skill Rating) does not rate your skill, only your experience in how long you have been playing the game and doing just enough to exceed the threshold to move up. Many of us, including myself, are quite aware we should not be Tier 1, but then you have those whose ego is too big for their britches. Ignore them while preserving your sanity Posted Image

Ignore the player, and there is a mute/blocked button in game, then when in the mechlab will show up in the Blocked Tab of the Friends icon.

Edit. The above link is to show what the player may have been looking at, if he was not doing it on the forums itself. The forums section only provides a month at a time look, then the need to use the dropdown to see the another month.

But as Biomechric said, let it go. Allowing it to get under your skin and stay there is what said player wants.. Do not let him win.

People like that are few & far between here in MWO(in game at least).
I don't think it is really a TOC issue, just someone being an *** & my advice is to not get annoyed by it, that is what that player is wanting from you.
That person, being nasty has to live with that forever, you can & should only give it consideration for a few seconds. The nasty will only be with you until YOU let it go. He is tainted for life.

Seems he has about 3 times the games played I have. I'm always willing to try and help raise those stats if OP wants some advice.

I think I know which person you're talking about, rages every time he loses a match and goes through the stats pointing out everyone that has lower damage than him...which is funny as i've yet to see said person top the damage. Pretty sure i've done more in an unskilled light when he was on a medium or heavy mech. Just ignore people like that and focus on your gameplay, at the end of the day it is just a game.

My KDR is .83 but I have 10K+ kills; Tiers and Stats are highly overrated. Just focus on that guy every time you see him (on the other team) and bring his stats down a few notches.

Don't worry about your stats and play to have fun. If you're having fun you're "winning". And if you happen to win the match to, that's bi-winning.

Remember; They can't mock your stats if you don't care about them.

If you think about it, they're really quite pathetic if they've got Jarls hot-keyed for look up players stats during a match. Just picture them as a coward who goes through the list pre-drop looking for easy targets and who to avoid.

Hey Pheonix. Always hard to judge a situation described by (one) third party only, but I'd generally advice ye to give a shiet 'bout personal insults / devaluations within or right after a match - especially if it is quickplay. Bad games happen, skill difference is natural - be it in MWO or otherwise - and even though a teammate's actions can take the better on someone, constructive input or appropriate silence should always be the standard. We ain't talking bout faction or competitive mode here.

Heads up, work on yerself and always keep in mind that the vast majority of player interaction is positive ... MWO-community is by far the most kind, helpful and mature gaming community I was allowed to experience so far.

You could just turn off all chat, team chat and Lance chat.
Improves Hit registration!
Plus I don't want to hear my food talk back.

And when the premade group says PUSH!
You have a good excuse.

Is stats shamming where people engage in sub-optimal teamwork strategies in order to get higher damage numbers?

Seriously, though, the CoC doesn't preclude someone looking up your stats and claiming that you're a bad player - the Name and Shame clause relates to posting something on the forums that relates to alleged in-game misconduct.

And as others have pointed out above, don't assume that Tier means anything more than playing time. The PSR system isn't a comparative skill rating, and is not intended to be.

I'm pretty sure you're talking about shaming. Shamming is a different thing entirely.

Different to what the OP meant to say: "shamming," or "to sham," is to relax while you're supposed to be doing work. "Shaming," or "to shame" is to make ashamed, or to embarrass someone by imputing shame to them. They're entirely different things - the OP meant one, but actually said the other - so I'm giving him a hard time (but not shaming him for it.)

All the constructive advice was already given, but I was bored. =)
