the clause 3.2.6 certainly does seem like an issue that can be acted upon legaly even against statshark team.
as for 3.2.9, that would be open for interpretation.
or at least thats my opinion, hard to say without looking up relevant judicature.
either way my previous comment wasnt aimed at legality of statshark as to whos responsible for toxic behaviour.
I tend to check stats when they make a wild claim that i dont agree with to try and get context to them as a player.
Annoyingly, it tends to prove my suspicions right more often than not. Theres a very notable individual on the forums for his takes vs his skill that was caught out by this
You need to know who someone is to send them a lawyers letter. Regular players who Battle Eye flags on the other hand…
I honestly think much of the prior discussion is missing the point, you don’t use a service like this to single out the poor players on the other side, you are gonna probably kill them anyway. You use it so the 4-squad from the other country can identify the one good player playing solo in Air RB, knock them out together, then work on the rest. It’s the good players that might want to worry a little more here. Unless they have a few friends of their own ofc. Just saying bringing this into game as a paid service can cut both ways.
uh huh.
unfortunately not true as many people would testify; however im not interested in changing your mind specifically as ive seen what kind of person you are.
Don’t forget if you wanted to challenge Gaijin some day if you feel their interpretation of this WAS wrong, you’d have to do it in Cyprus. :)
It is not entirely out of question to learn about who runs statshark. Id know about way or two, but that would require more information to pass any final verdict.
Entirely possible, however my issue with this is that such argument presumes anyone using live game viewer does so to “stat snipe”, which is the collective guilt i talked about.
Not entirely true, would higly depend on what was legaly challenged as per Regulation (EC) No 864/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 July 2007 on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations (Rome II).
Who does this anyway? I can’t even remember a single developer who created a similar website with stats themselves. I know a lot similiar sites with stats and its always 3rd party websites. Fow example aoe2insights for aoe2, ba-hub for broken arrow, dotabuff for dota and etc.
if theres legal grounds gaijin would likely find that out through whichever company hosts the site.
yep, if anything it can make you too cocky as they may have a friend over who is cracked at the game for all we know.
this is something that usually ends up being done eventually as the match continues and we figure out whos having a good match and who is priority to take out. however it does mean that the good player cant prove themselves before being mauled by a squad.
you can check individual players at the start of a match in game so i dont think statshark really changes that too much, other than it being automated.
Also because Patreon is doing all the e-commerce for them, and Gaijin would actually have to pressure THEM to C&D, not a random Discord site… Much easier to make example of a few players in the monthly cheater stats, tbh
because its a rather popular thing that always gets forgotten by devs, would be an appreciated QOL feature and also kills the risk of a 3rd party making a paid for feature of such controversy
unfortunately it is true as many have testified.
I’m not talking about wild claims (e.g players calling BMPT balanced). I’m talking about actually rational claims, e.g “F-16A is underperforming.”
As an example,
User A claims F-16A is underperforming
User B (who has better stats according to statshark) says that User A is wrong because they’re worse and aboslutely nothing else (especially not their argument) matters.
Id say thats also possible, yes, but again highly depends on the specifics.
Aight, ping them and make them testify here :) if unable to do that, linking their comments will suffice. Cmon, ill be waiting.
Are you living under a rock?
doesnt look like user ping nor linked comment.
Someone can just follow a user with these sites and stat shame them and mock them indefinitely, this community is full of vindictive and toxic and evil people. Privacy should be there for these cases.
I dont believe it shows any other player stats that Gaijin doesn’t already show. Where it is invaluable is nation win rates. Until Gaijin decides to share their data with us, it is the next best thing. Transparency is never a bad thing and it speaks to see where certain nations are performing.
These people can also just remember or write down the name of their target and statshame them through game.
Also there is no critical information shown on statshark (unless you are uncreative like me and just use your first name as your WT name), so who cares that people can look you up.
A) such stalking is definetively against forum rules about harrasment
B) again, these sites only display stats publicly accessible through your profile. said stalker could (not that he should mind you) simply harrass you (and subsequently get banned ideally) even without site like statshark.
Oh on that I can absolutely agree.
The fringe cases of stalking and continuous harrasment unrelated to the discussed matter fall under harrasment rules.
I think global vehicle and nation stats are fine, and these sites do provide a good way to gauge how each nation is doing relative to one another, I have no issues with that.
