The problem is that you’re looking at players who have optimized themselves for damage at the cost of everything else, and then bumuming THAT damage output is typical of normal play.
Frankly, I think the best way to balance things in the endgame is to have each forum’s speedrun times broken down by clbum. Trolls have to be faster than trolls, emokids have to be better than emokids, camwhores have to be better than camwhores, etc… Then we can stop worrying about endgame play and instead focus on typical play.
Also, this is what is known as a “Proof of concept” exploit. I intend to sabotage the system in order to show that it can, in fact, be sabotaged. It’s not like I’m doing this secretly and trying to hide it from ET or anything. If anything, finding and testing exploits smooths things out – once an exploit is discovered and tested, you can take steps to correct the actual issue so that it doesn’t happen in the future.
By way of example, what if I decided to go to people who primarily play camwhores and use the latest nerf to convince them to join in on the plan? A few people conspiring to skew the results just after a nerf would be enough to drag the average down, and that in turn would be enough to convince ET that he overdid the nerf. For all we know, a group of trolls did just that and got a nice boost as a reward.
