    My fellow MGFTW players, i have posted this thread to discuss two different issues on my account and need help to fix them.(preferably from an admin). The problems as said on the title are two problems that i have trouble with. First is the "Reputation system". When i first started to play on MGFTW servers my reputation did not matter to me, as i did not know exactly what it meant, and honestly, could not care less. But now that i am a more serious MGFTW player i would like to know why the tiniest accidental friendly fire on a teammate that has been swarmed with common infected or pinned saving them but shooting a bullet or accidentally hitting them with a melee weapon puts my reputation down to terrible. Alright, that's exaggeration on my part but saving someone from taking the damage to incap or even death and accidentally shooting someone in the process is a tiny bit unfair. I would not have much of an issue with this but i do not understand why the reputation system is so unfair that i cannot buy anything from the shop when if i have 80 bounty to buy a tank which i did earn and not be able to do anything game changing with it. And any admin that comes onto this please note that i cannot get people if they are in-capped because of level 200's rushing around the map getting them up in a millisecond preventing me from getting my reputation up. So please don't say that if i want a fairer system then to just quit MGFTW.

    So that is one rant done. My second issue is that i would like the option to reset my entire account. If the reputation system is kept unfair then i would like the option to reset my account with help from an admin.
    Thank you for at least reading this because this has been an issue for a long time now and i would really like this fixed.
    If you wish to contact me on steam then just send me a message on my profile.

    I played with you a lot when you first started. We (myself and others) warned you about the repercussions about reckless molotov-throwing and especially the blowing up of cars. You simply need to play hard(er) to get your reputation up. There are several threads, including my blog here, that note the ways you can. If high level players are picking them up faster, that has nothing to do with you... it's only who GETS the pickup who gets the rep boost. I.E. if you're picking someone up, then another can't interrupt it unless you drop them or failed to clear the commons first. Lastly, you're not far from buying the high reputation buff.

    Because of issues with people changing their stories, we don't really reset people's accounts. We recently had one guy say "I just wanna start over and be level 1 again." I made sure four times in one conversation that he meant what he was saying and this wasn't a communication barrier and he wasn't just talking statistics or something. Regardless, he still went to my other team members telling them it got reset by accident. My point is I don't think we'll add this option, and if we do, it won't be soon and it won't include a reputation reset.

    One separate note: Before we had the 4-player requirement put back to enable PR, I saw you gain a LOT of easy levels by playing on your own in the versus and other empty servers. It shouldn't be much harder to get your rep up.
