Did they say that the reason was for participating in a boosting session?
Not polite, patient, or politically correct.

Ditto here, haven't played since the session in early November and just got the email this weekend, went to check it out and all levels, unlocks (except coop), ribbon and medals back to zero. I regret not grinding this out sooner now, but I actually liked playing this. From now on if it has online achievements I'll think twice about purchasing.

The resets seem to have hit those who had a score per minute that would've been impossible through normal play.

Not like its hard to get to 45, dont see why so many people have to boost for any level based achievement in a multiplayer game. Just play the game and enjoy it isnt that the reason for spending money on video games in the first place to enjoy the time playing them.

Some people enjoy them by getting all the achievements, some enjoy them by having a challenging fight against other players, some enjoy them by doing both. There's no wrong way to enjoy them.

It's a good thing I passed on doing one or two sessions a while back then (not that I'm anywhere near 45 anyways)

Boosting dead games/ridiculous achievements is one thing. Boosting rank in the best FPS of the year is quite another.

Maybe it's just that I loved the game...

This was announced by Dice when the game first came out, I guess it just took them a while to actually get round to doing it. Fortunately for me, I enjoy playing this game which is why I told friends I didn't want to boost it when they were setting up/joining boost sessions - for those that don't know me, 'tis a rare thing to find, multiplayer that I actually enjoy!

As it is, I doubt many people will be too bothered about this news, they've either already got their cheev and moved on to pastures new or, like me, picking away at Lv45 nice and steady thoroughly enjoying the experience........unless, of course, EA decide on some more dlc with new rank based cheevs - then I guarantee we will see some seriously pissed off folk, lol!!
There is no authority but yourself.

DICE and EA didn't reset the stats to get at the achievement hunters among us. They went for the people who were boosting to get all the unlocks and then using them against players who were unlocking their upgrades/perks through long hard fights on the battlefield. I've never boosted this game so I can't say from experience, but if earning the achievements quickly is your game, I'm sure you can still come in, boost up, and get out before you'd be hit with any repercussions.
I miss the good old days of WW2 Call of Duty

How long does it take to hit level 45 versus actually playing "for real". I bet the difference is drastic.

LAFTA said:Boosting dead games/ridiculous achievements is one thing. Boosting rank in the best FPS of the year is quite another.My rule of thumb has been if there's an easy way to do it that has a good possibility of getting patched, you should get it done while you can. (see crysis 2)
