Buzz Sound Off! iCaerus


In this segment, you will be given a weekly topic to debate about. You will have the chance to post your opinions, comments, criticism and ideas on the Game Forum, when the proper official topic is made. The topic is made at a random time during the week to ensure that many players get to eventually voice their opinion!

Next week, 5-10 (depending on how many we get) random opinions will be placed on the Buzz along with a new debate question!

THIS WEEK'S DEBATE!
What do you think about the BootCrews site? Does it give the players with access a fair or unfair advantage here on the game? Should it remain like it is for only certain players, or be open to everyone? Share your thoughts and debate away!


“Public access would cause harm to the game in the aspect that everyone would have access to the information causing these petty underground crews that like to make a mess once in a while to take over the game because they know everything about it.”
~The Eye

“No, it should remain like this. Why? Exclusivity makes it everything it is. If it wasn't exclusive membership then it'd be worthless anyways.”
~Trev

“Of course it gives an unfair advantage, but people don’t really need it. It’s just a handy tool, and imo, should be forbidden anyway.”
~DefinatelyNotPeeking

“I don't see a problem with this website, it only gives out information available to anybody who does the legwork, and produces a program actually capable of achieving such accurate results.”
~Redgie

“It's up to the discretion of the owner to state whether it's open to everyone or not.”
~ILoveTheShortBus

“My view is bootcrews should not be needed, but it it is entirely consistent with stated position of the admin. My view is this information should be part of the game.”
~MacTheKnifeV3

“Bootcrews was made by an independent player, and then with the help of others improved upon. It gives no secret inside information you could not get with a little clicking, research, and testing. Before bootcrews was around, yes, I clicked *every* profile and wrote down ranks. It was ridiculously easy and took 5 minutes for a huge crew.”
~Benjamin

“Giving access to everybody would totally undermine the idea of the site.”
~SirCumSize

“It should be open to the public, or it shouldn't be recognized by Bootleggers as an institution.”
~CavuDogV

“It should be open for registration of everyone, mate. It's not fair to be of limit access.”
~Puckersv4

“It's definitely an unfair advantage. I think anything boot related should be for all or none. Unless of course BSF charges points to access it. But bootcrews is not a feature of bootleggers, so BSF can't do that.”
