I was playing on a server last night, and I was accused by "uded" of point wh0ring. Now, I was first accused by him on Volcano of doing it, even though I had my MRLS right next to the power plant which I was attacking, running over engineers trying to C4 me. The next time I was accused of it was on Hourglass. I had MobArt, and proceeded to fire on the Weapons Factory. They failed to repair it, so I continued pounding it for a few more seconds and took it out. Uded displays the rules saying no "point wh0ring," and starts a vote to kick me. I didn't feel like messing with it, said "thanks for the correction, I'll show myself out," and left. I always thought point wh0ring it was when the player pounded the building solely for points as the enemy repaired it faster than it was being damaged. I thought that you could take out a building from whatever distance, as long as you were making progress on destroying it, rather than firing for points. Am I wrong?

Idiots like that think the only way to destroy a building without it being called "point whoring" is to attack the MTC at the inside.

this is sort of like this:
When your team is losing - and the final minutes are counting down - there are 10 out of 15 people in the last building - repairing it ---
even though it's just being hit by ONE frigging tank...
why?
because you get points for repairing - so if you know your going to lose anyway - you might as well get alot of points to get a low negative ladder score...
(as if people still play for ladder points :rolleyes:)
I for one - will run out into the fray -- i may die alot - but i take alot down with me....

umm point whoring is when you attack a building while in youre own base with a mrls or mobart and the enmy has virtualy no chance of killing you and you have virtually no chance of killing the building and do nothing to defend if the enmy attacks.
