Probably for the 2nd task chain perhaps.

Obviously because they can't survive the new meta in bronze without the few extra pennies worth of Au that they get from each match. That Kumiho is not going to make itself into a level 12 mk 2. Also, setting up completely one-sided fights against opponents, mostly kids, who lack the gear to defend themselves, is how one proves ones total awesomeness. |

They can afford a dash hanger but have to drop down to seal club the bronze league to earn 10 gold?? What...
How can they possibly find this fun to do anyway? Wasting time dropping down to climb back up again.

The thing is it’s really hard to tank into Bronze 2 because once you enter Bronze you only lose 2 league points for a last place loss. Plus it’s not like the competition is any easier in Bronze 2 than Bronze 1 for those hangars. It is perplexing.

I ran into one of those before on my secondary account. I took screenshots of the match screen and the guy's hanger then reported him.
Pixonic eventually replied and said that I was in the LQ and intimated that since I'm scum, I'll be matched with my own kind.
Bear in mind that I don't leave matches, typically have queues of 1 min or less, never face anyone above Diamond 3, and that the match screen indicated everyone received rewards. Way to be, Pixonic.

Unless they've finally fixed it, squad tanking makes it so you can drop faster through bronze, and even into private as some clans do. |

I've never been matched with anyone above Silver while I've been in Bronze. It's very odd that you've seen Diamond players from bronze. Unless it was like a one time thing and maybe they were messing with the MM. Wouldn't be a surprise I guess. |

I believe they're farming gold for upgrades because not all of them are MK-2 bots and weapons.
I doubt they're after the 2 storms and hover.

This confirms that at least the CS people at Pixonic are just absolutely clueless about the state of the game. They think LPQ takes care of tanking, so if you see tankers, you must be in LPQ too. But is everyone at Pix this ignorant? Seems hard to believe. I think the people in the know keep information out of the hands of the CS and PR people. That would explain why my clan was asked to provide screenshots a month or so ago showing Expert being matched against Champions. There must be thousands of such matches happening every day, but they need us to send screenshots? The CS and PR people are being kept in the dark so the incorrect info they are asked to tell is more believable. |

Easy fix to the tanking problem...limit the rate a player can drop to say 1 League level/month. Dropping additional ranking points simply means more work to regain your peak level.
Alternatively, limit how far it's possible to drop: once you hit Gold I, you can never drop lower than Gold III.
Tanking/Clubbing problem solved.

They could fix it, by updating the system, so when one mechs out too quickly or suddenly or does pathetic damage under the threshold limit, they would automatically be sent back to the hanger with a warning message "Unusual activity detected, we're banning your account for X amount of days. Reasons: Tanking". They could also add a report player button feature, but people will be a troll and abuse this to their liking. The con is that they can't distinguish between who is a tanker and who is just playing for real but is an inexperienced player. Hopefully, the Supply Drops will keep the tankers at bay to get back into their proper leagues. |

Hanger based MM...there’s an old thread with some thoughts on making hanger based MM balanced by assigning a point value teased on the bot size, level, and weapon compliment level. Match’s based on total points on a team. I’m too lazy right now to search for the post ...

Either they take turns in who gets the gold first, or each squad member has to get 3 kills, 3 beacons and decent damage to each receive gold.
Note: Also squad Victory also rewards gold too, this was done by Pixonic to encourage people to play in squads and it ended up being in the tankers favor.

You hear that?
It's the sound of burning, crying wallets.
With owners who lack any remorse.

If you can afford to shell out for a Mk 2 hanger, you don't need Ag, Au, keys or loot boxes.
It really defies logic, both on the player's behaviour AND Pixonic's attitude to it all.
I would like to see private servers, like the COD4 servers we had a few years ago (we had 8).
You could have a 6/6 server for instance.
And the best part? When you get some whale in the 6/6 legacy server, they then get to see that classic message.... "you were banned from the server"
