The victims in this case is anyone who doesn't do the exact same thing as you, i.e every single other player in the server, not to mention the fucked up balance created for every subsequent round. Like I said before, first round sucks for everyone. Should everyone just stay in spec for 10 minutes? Not, they play it out. It's the way siege is atm, it's fucked and devs haven't managed to repair it yet. Yet they made the rule very, very clear. Bypassing the autobalance for whatever reason is exploiting. It is unfair to all the other players in the same situation who don't do it. I'm not even going to go into the multiaccounting or the other things your clan has been accused of, or the people who already got banned for it.
What are these other incentives in your stupid philosophy of sectarian self-policing. Tell me about them. You can't argue for individual responsability and at the same time say the only authority for enforcing cRPG rules anyone should recognize is their clan leader and their friends. That's the opposite of individual responsability. And I'd love to see you try using the defence that being accessory to a crime is not a bad thing, just neutral, in a court of law.
How exactly they are victims in this case ? Because they get same amount and quality of other players instead of my clanmates anyway. Balance for every subsequent round stay the same with every type of exploit. People with x3/x4/x5 can consider staying in specs for 6 minutes tops, usually less.
They made rule very clear, if you don't want to play against your mates, stay in spec.
I don't know about you but i don't share with world information gathered via confidential channels, that's why i don't answer this question. I can argue for individual responsibility, and i think that's up to every member to know the rules and possible punishment for their wrongdoing AND also that it's issue between them and clan leader if they should stay in clan or not. Every member is responsible for himself, and should deal with cRPG authorities on his own unless he ask anyone else to talk about particular issue (for example if he don't know english).
Thankfully we are not in a court of (out)law, which have not much to do with morality anyway. And even there there are laws that allow you to not about crimes of close persons if you don't know it yet.
How in your culture are treated people who spy on each other, as reporting people thanks to intel gained due to confidential talk cannot be named otherwise ? Do you admire such people, sounds like you do.
