care to explain via pm? xD
the information found below is all only a story and a work of fiction. no such events actually took place. all resemblance to real people/events is a mere coincidence.anyway, a certain company's coding used to be complete shit as always, so you could get a stats reset without actually paying. their ingenuously designed algorithm for stat reset transactions was something like this:
get payment info
if payment info is legit -> grant stats reset
else -> ask to reenter info
execute transaction
if they had iq of ova 150 like me, their algorithm would look like
get payment info
if payment info is legit -> execute transaction
else -> ask to reenter info
grant stats reset.
luckily, the retards got it the wrong way around. so after you entered your info, if you spammed the "submit purchase button", their shit software would spaz out and grant you new stats but fail to execute the transaction so effectively the stat reset was free.
so, for like 4 months, me and a friend would just reset our stats about once every day or two and stomp pubs in the 1500 bracket until we were 1650-1700, then rinse and repeat. sometimes, my frend would reset after he won his first game just cause his KD ratio wasn't about like 7 or something. i personally ended up getting like $400 worth of resets for free, but my friend knew about this glitch for much longer so he probably got like $2000 worth. was good times.
with the coming of a new patch, the company finally realized "MAYBE THIS ALGORITHM IS BAD" and changed it so now it checks that the payment went through before resetting your account.
