Even if it's available to all, not everyone will make the effort to go there, so it's an unfair advantage to have more information than others, right? After all, people would have access to strategies and builds and nuances that the general playerbase wouldn't know about. They would know when slices are full, be able to plan for future events/characters, know the structure of events, adapt quicker to new game changes, make friends who could skip them in queues... Then they should ban the MPQ forums...

If not, thars yer problem Seriously though, as mentioned earlier specific time slices help. I had no issues going from 500 to 1k in the last 2 hours, the last few attacks gave around 40 points each. This whole conversation spawned from trying to hit 1300 points, and I have found that very difficult unless you go to the right time slices and discover coordinated hops. Sometimes it happens during regular hopping schedules, sometimes not. It's like whale watching, it's a lot of waiting but when it happens it's magical

As there is no true, direct PvP, only dressed up PvE, no one can "let" anyone beat them. Everyone has to win their own battles, earn their own points, and most importantly, avoid losing points.

Forum is slow, game chat is limited, hopping is risky. Naturally people who want high scores will try to find some way to work together to acquire targets. It doesn't help with being attacked or winning, so you still need to play a real match and do it fast before half a million random players queue and attack you. Without the coordination , how likely is it that the high value targets you need to hit 1.3k will exist?

Without the coordination , how likely is it that the high value targets you need to hit 1.3k will exist? I hit 1300 in both offseason PvP without Line or any alliance coordination. Both event, I used 2 x 3 hours & 8 hours Shield. To find high value target, I just check once and a while, a few skip here and there, they will show up. If you don't find them within 10 skips, try again later, they usually come in a bunch, usually from one alliance

Give me a break. You are kidding yourself if you don't think someone telling you the exact 5 minute time period that they will be unshielded isn't essentially letting you beat them. Isn't that exactly why it works? Because you ARE able to find them during that time, queue them up, and later BEAT them? Lie to yourself to help you sleep at night, but if you truly think what you are doing meets the spirit of competitive PvP play then you are just plain delusional.

You still have to burn skips to find the person who told you they unshield. And, I've wiped against said person a few times in the past so how did they let me win??

Seriously, I think you do play mpq but must think you are in a different game forum. Everything you wrote makes little sense.

There used to be a message board where people could downvote and hide posts that were utter nonsense, thus keeping people from getting aggravated and responding with impolite sass.

I understand it very well, we just have a difference of opinion. Your point that it's easy for anyone to do doesn't change the ethics of it. A small group of people are colluding to score higher than they otherwise could have. The fact that you wait to attack until the person tells you they are shielded is what makes it an UNfair advantage.
