Most Wanted Contest is all about mindless grinding!

[Thunderclap]

They said in another post, your likeness ends up on a wanted poster in the show that appears for about 2 seconds.

More reason for me not to enter the contest.

Heh yes this^

Let it be the guy named Captain Poopeater who wins.

I wish I could "like" this response
Love to see them explain that in the show.

Amanda: Nolan we have a problem. Captain Poopeater has been spotted near Defiance. He caused all kinds of $@&! in Paradise.

Complete new “Most Wanted: Rogues Gallery” and “Most Wanted: Competitor” Pursuits before 11:59 pm PDT on May 12


how are those new... they have been there for like... 2+ weeks now?

[Dwane]

It's about finishing the pursuits + playing smart.

Also note - salvage gained from the Salvage Matrix does not count.

***UPDATE***

The contest is also about collecting Ark Salvage and being efficient. It is [ (total salvage earned during the 2 weeks) divided by (hours played within that 2 weeks) ] then we are encouraging efficient gameplay and not forcing a grind. That's the idea.

I guess this is most efficient way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFMi8xv3NI0. Endless spawn, fast kill, money+salvage drops like mad. Now tell us this is not grinding...

[nnja303]

Ive got an idea... Everyone quit whining and play the game... if you win you win, if not oh well you get a new hat. The odds of winning are stupid slim anyways...

[Munx]

Its just a overall broken concept, the fact that myll tries to deny it, or that trion does not realise this just makes it all the more sad.

Edit: Nnja303 I've also got an idea.. Quit reading threads you dislike and play the game...

When something is this broken not to mention the unfair advantage given to ps3 users + americans, You can bet your *** I will voice my opinion about the mather, if you have a problem with that, feel free to avoid the forums.

one of the mods cleared it up, it's not the most in 1 specific hour its total between now and the end of comp, which means who ever has the most amount of time to play wins basically.

Just no. This shows you have not bothered to read the thread.

Munx is absolutely correct, unfortunately.

And if you only played one hour, your average is what you earned that hour, It dosnt take a advanced knowledge to realise that someone playing for 1 hour with max income will have a considerably higher average then anyone that played for 1+ hours.

For every hour you play it becomes more difficult to keep your average up, and as much as a 5 minute poty break is enough to demolish your average.

Co-op is completly out of the question, pvp is out of the question, doing entire arkfalls is out of the question.

Either you play for one hour at max effiency. (Won't even work if you are EU non Ps3, as your average will already be ruined by having to do the contracts/pursuits after timer started)

Or you play for 2 weeks without doing ANYTHING other then salvage hunting (Activities Spamming/Respawning hellbug grinding).

Or Find/Use exploits.

Non of the options are pretty, or logical and non of them has a beneficial effect on the game or the playerbase.

Anyone that goes for the 2 week constant grind route will get burnt out, alot of the people that do 1 hour grind then log off the rest of the competition will likely not return as they will start other games, and exploiters well.. you get the picture.
