Well there are people on Skull Throne who would tell you that you are doing it wrong, considering that they have a private 1v1 club going on. Now I don’t mind the occasional 1v1, but this particular group is relying on it to gain their renown ranks. Now I am a huge fan of doing 6v6's, because it tests skill, and brings out a lot of good competition, but what is happening with these 1v1's is that there is no fighting it is just have a healer and another person on each side communicating on vent just killing each other without a fight for renown.

This clearly not the way this game was intended to be played, it is like the people who cheat at CS, there is no reason to do it other than to stat pad, but even then you are proving nothing when you get into a group and can't perform up to par with everyone around you.

I really don’t know if it is happening on other servers because I have only really seen it first hand on Skull Throne, but I would not be surprised if it was, and it is more prevalent since they started doing the statue system for most renown gained because people who no one has ever heard of are appearing in the top 10 spots. This very well could be looking to deep into this, but I highly doubt it and sadly I do expect people to do stuff like this to get an edge in a video game.

Have any of you had this happening on your server? Do you think that it is causing an issue with the way renown leveling works?

This makes me sick. This is not only against the rules and worthy of a big fat perma-ban, but a new low in terms of player selfishness. I cant bring myself to write about anything else these days. And we're talking more than 'stat padding', we're talking 'cheating for gear'.

I would report them and have them all banned without remorse. Not like they actually earned their renown like everyone else.

Sadly Rp, it is very, very, very hard to prove this on the CSR end. All they see is hey X and Y are fighting, not that they sat there for 4 hours just killing each other back and forth. Go check out warhammer alliance forums and you can see them plotting it all out. In fact I looked today and they are now planning 2v2 farming.
