Hey, Cooper. Have you SEEN the scores these people make? There's no way they aren't either hacking or buying out the game with the kinds of number I'm seeing on the topped rank. On top of that, Project Aces has acknowleged that there are totally people who exploit the game, they released a notification that said "please stop". Guess how much good that did.

I play the game pretty much every day, and I'd like to think I'm not a terrible player at this. I usually have a good amount of stocked fuel and I do great in online co-op. I don't do TDM because personally, screw TDM. But ranking tournaments that are co-op I can get in the top 5k, and I'm not bad at the game by any means.

That said, I have absolutely no chance in hell of getting into the rankings that has all the good stuff. I've checked the numbers that the top 200 have and they're absolutely absurd. I compare the score of a person like me who plays every day and does pretty well to theirs, and there's no way they aren't either cheating or buying the game out to boost their scores. I've never once gotten a special plane or so much as an emblem to show for my efforts in any online tournament.

So my point stands. The tournaments in this game are totally screwed.
