@Tempered Ace, I'm not trying to call anyone out. That's why I asked about reporting them to the game's administrators to investigate, not ask anyone if they knew who they were.

MR spoofing, though I've seen it called something else, was a lot bigger in yhe earlier days of the game with the bigger tournaments of the time. Higher MR players are more likely to get kicked or see people leave their room. Furthermore, if they do manage to get a full room, it's harder to score well, let alone by the huge margins that would net the most tournament points. So, they would fly a few missions early on, score extremely low points, have their MR plummet, and then be able to go back and sortie in much lower MR rooms where they can easily dominate.

@TheTLMguy, I think they were, but I can't say for certain. I believe there were only two open spots left when I entered the room.

@Kupchenko, I highly doubt someone is flying around just to boost some random people's tournament scores.

These tournaments are difficult enough as is for those playing right. I'm not even trying to participate in the tournament myself right now - I'm waiting until Sunday to see how high the ranks get. Right now I'm in money-saving mode. But this sort of thing is what started turning people off from the game before, and is very, very, unfair to those playing the game the right way. Furthermore, I don't want to be a part of promoting such activities.
