This is true. Experienced a high weaponskill stat player and they 2 tap with adaptive pulses. Finished comp placement went into platinum and there they are. This level of stat manipulation has no place in PvP.

Reading through your post it does make me feel like you are very unclear how the system works for edge of fate. You get tier 5 and 4 rewards when you hit 300 but you also have to have ultimate difficulty unlocked and you have to play on the hardest modifiers it's not just simply as you hit 400 and you instantly get access to higher tiers. People who had early access such as fall out and a few other streamers they post videos of it like weeks before the release of edge of fate and they clearly showed how the system works that's not just simply as you hit a level and you get rewards it requires a lot of grind and a lot of teamwork... Even when you hit 200 the drops are still slightly low though you get like 2 plus drops regardless of the activity it's not like Encore with given people 10 plus drops in terms of power.. If people actually hit 400 through this method they would have to grind for at least for 40 hours.. The only reason people did this glitch was because the progressive system as too d*** slow all that bungee did was downgrade of the progression to make progression slower so they can keep player numbers up that was the only purpose for the reset of everyone's character... Think about it they make all of these changes but they don't make any new strikes and then the one new activity we get it has a 2 hour timer that you have to wait in order to do it which is by the way the best method to level up kepler arena..
