Lastly, and I imagine I'll get stick for this, but I have no problem with the person getting a ban. He clearly violated the agreement into which he entered of his own free will. What he COULD have done is said "I have looked at the underlying data and can tell you that ABC vehicles are inherently harder to see by 25% than XYZ vehicles, despite them being of same tier/approximately same dimensions". Could have achieved exactly the same result in terms of discussion and questions for the devs without blatantly ignoring the EULA by publishing allegedly accurate data.
whilst what you say is true. How many times have people posted such things only to be told. 'prove it'.
Yes he was wrong in what he did but with the level of dis-interest we recieve from those we are supposed to be testing this game for can you blame him for outing the full stats in order to make his case?
Also it should be noted that he posted it in the beta test section of the forums which doesnt have general public access. And all of us who post / read this section are subject of an NDA hence unable to reveal anything about the game outside of this area.
Still whats done is done. What I am awaiting is a Dev response as to wether this was actually decrypted game code and hence accurate. As per usual they have been conspicuous in their absense. Their silence shouts louder than any attempt at explaining would have done.
