Must say;
Not all people with low-nics, that are at odds with their skill on the game, are hiders.
I tend to fight higher nics on this low scored nic just to improve but it also means i struggle to build up any decent points.
I've been accused of nic-hiding by loads of tanx who are as diverse as 0 - 350 points, surely they can't all be right!
Especially considering the highest i've ever got on any nic is 120....... Which quickly got hammered back down to 70; so
no one
can suggest i've got any worthwhile skills to hide!
Its better than fighting a true noob on a 2 point nic and them thinking they're no good at tanx and leaving for good.
It works both ways, when people of 100+ come into a room i'm in i don't complain, i either see it as an opportunity
to practice against a good player, or i leave.
Also if i'm trouncing a tank rated 100+ it suggests to me either they have been banking, only fighting people who's style they understand and can beat or they've got worse and don't neccesarily deserve the points they have.
Its a catch22 but not all those tagged as nic-hiders actually are.......
