Overlord, has it at all been considered that the prime reason why there are so many complainers, whiner, and Russian bias callers is due to how much information the development team does withhold? I mean, the only reason why we found out how blatantly biased the Russian camo advantage was, was due to someone decrypting an important file. Without that we would have never known how full of crap the camo system really was, and possibly still is. We have no idea how to know that your "readjustment" of the camo values doesn't still put anything non-Russian at a disadvantage. We only have your word that everything is now based on "volume", yet we can't actually trust your word since we have such abundant truth that you have deceived us so unrighteously in the past.
Do you have any comments on why so many statistics are being withheld from the community? Preferably something that doesn't rely on the "security, hackers, exploiters, herp derp" shtick every developer out there likes to default on.
