except case of BMPT is extremely unique because almost everyone across all nations agrees its OP PoS.
What about all the other cases where the situation isnt so cut and dry?
Stats are that - stats. They can be used as evidence in argument.
if person has problem with their argument provoking scrutiny of how well they understand the game in the first place, theres simple fix for that - simply not coming forth with opinion that would require scrutiny of how well said person understands game.
either way, even youtube is enough. Third party already keeps track of your data and then sells it for profit. And said data is much more important than your ingame stats.
Dude these kinda tools have been around forever in every multiplayer game lol. Players create toxicity, not tools. Complaining about this and muh racism is such a cringe euro thing to do
Technically we don’t actually know if they’re using Gemini to do an off-prem OCR on the screenshots they’re sending back from their app on your computer to their servers, so this COULD BE a Google product. :)
(I don’t think it is, just pointing out normally an app pushing screenshots out of your computer shares who they’re sharing them with, how long they’re stored for, etc.)
I wanted to merely point out that much more important data than in-game stats is already being tracked and as such I find ItsOnyys “privacy” concerns misplaced.
If he was truly worried about his privacy this much I doubt he would be here with us on the forum in the first place.
Its among the things europeans are actually based.
I don’t want my data to be manipulated and displayed by a team of alleged racist and in-game cheating dudes, end of story.
I only use my phone for calls and messaging, I have no major social media presence besides discord. I am coming from a privacy standpoint when it comes to this topic. I don’t like the idea of my stats being tracked and served to the public without any consent.
I would say that global and anonymous stats like nation winrates and individual vehicle performance is fine, I think that’s more than enough to “catch any liars”
And my messages are not being compiled and served in a third party website, are they? I literally only use it to chat with friends and closed servers. Nobody besides discord knows what I say or type there. There are no bots scraping and pulling messages from discord and serving them to the whole world to see.
You are just being dishonest.
Only Gaijin and the user should know what our stats are, not some third party. Just like only Discord should know what goes on in their own service.
What does this mean? Oh, that Discord saves your messages for their own processing and law enforcement purposes? Duh, if I could use another service I would, but Discord is the only one alternative where everyone is.
I dont expect to change your mind. If you dont like that statshark collect and compiles said data, i can understand that, but your concern for privacy is wildy misplaced.
Your ingame stats mean nothing outside the balance discussions on this forum. Thats literally it.
Personally i’d love to have an ^arena^ mode with ratings etc. 1v1, 2v2, 4v4 brackets.
That means we will play the SAME vehicle with the same mods and preset armament.
Change it every week or 2 days or whatever.
But anyone believing WT is competitive game in current RB, with everyone doing them own thing , with vehicles that may lack CMs, missiles …others running around doing GTs (because usually pays better in faster games) , with overtiers and undertiers really ^making^ your game maybe more than you do…
what can i say…
Nothing bad with wanting to be competitive, really… But random battles doesn’t even worth bragging about it.
Here, we have people that as soon as you tell an opinion the first thing is search your KD/R , without even knowing what you do in game…
You may see someone with 1:1 KD in a plane, and that being the outcome of a 1:3 from stock to 1:1 when spaded and some games and then you got bored and let it there…aka you made it 1:1 by pulling 3:1 games.
