I had been sending in screen shots to PIX of obvious tanker profiles for a while now, averaging about a dozen a day, but have given up. I never got anything back but their canned response and I have ZERO faith that PIX will do anything about it, but it made me feel better for a while. Anyhow, the idea struck me that we could have some fun with the tankers even through they are no fun to play with. I am hearby challenging all forum members to beat my Tanker. Post screen shots of the profiles of the most ridiculous examples of tanking that you come across. Rather than rating each submission, I say we have a poll on which tanker profile wins each month. We then post that profile on a Sticky thread. (I am open to other suggestions for winners btw.) So let's get started. Drum roll please... Beat My Tanker!  |

OK, for a start, if you email Pix via the normal "contact us" means, you get the canned response.
You have to REPLY to that to get to the human level.
Secondly, use the Tanker Reporting Form. It's a sticky on the General Discussion page

It's a sticky on the General Discussion page I think you might have missed the point. This isn't about reporting Tankers. It is about publically exposing how ridiculous Tanking has become. We all know PIX won't do anything if you report a Tanker, whether online or with the form. I for one, am curious to see what the worst case of Tanking anyone has seen (and can be backed up with a screenshot) is. I believe the one I posted is pretty high on the list but I am guessing there is worse. |

There's a place for that: clonkNot that there's anything wrong with tanking, or so I hear. The game allows it without retribution, so it's just part of the game and obviously ok. I mean, if the game developers aren't trying to stop it, who are we to tell anybody how to play the game or disparage those who don't play as we see fit. Or so I hear. |

On the OP, you're kind of kicking yourself with this one. Not only are tankers not going to care about you trying to publicly shame them, most of them get joy from showing up in things like this. Someone will see they got posted up somewhere, share it with them, and they'll be like "look I'm famous!" |

Well, in the last 3 or 4 days, I have suffered from disconnection/connection problems ( my wireless and 4G network). Last night around 6pm Australian WST I have been put in LPQ. Mind you I got TDM like 8-10 times in the row if not more. So after second time I decided I am going to suicide my bots by going to enemy and getting killed.
Now I am in LPQ...Played over 30 games last night and I am still in it. Who knows how long it will take to get out

Yeeeeaaaaahhhhh.... no I'm not. Oh, that's weird. It seemed like you were. Maybe I misread or you mistyped something, but it sounded like you had come to terms with the whole concept of play your game and let others play theirs. |

Now I am in LPQ...Played over 30 games last night and I am still in it. Who knows how long it will take to get out I heard it has been upped. Guestimate is around 50 games. So you are not far. Would not be surprised if the penalty is also tiered.
Pix is such a 「wee-wee」 tho. I mean, people like you know how to get 30 games done without waiting 15 mins for each game. But imagine someone who doesnât. Thatâs 12:30 hours of just waiting around and looking at the start up screen. Seriously. Which noob is going to do that.
But I would also go to Apple and ask for my money back (if spent anything) stating the game is not fit for purpose as the reasons for my claim.

I'm all for players playing their own game, right up to the point where playing their own game ruins the game for everybody else they're playing with. Just because the developers choose to not penalize players for ruining the game for everybody else doesn't automatically make it ok, and that is the piece of this equation you people can't seem to get through your thick heads. That's the last I'm saying on the subject. |

That's the last I'm saying on the subject. "You people"?! What do you mean, you people?? So you think that tactic is unfair, even though it's part of the game. As Thump pointed out, using cover is a tactic as well. Not everyone knows how to use cover, and not everyone utilizes the tactic. The people that don't use the tactic are at a disadvantage against those that do use it. But that's okay. Both tactics result in one player having an advantage over the other. So what makes one okay and the other not? It certainly isn't rules. So what gives you the authority to arbitrarily decide what's right and wrong for everyone? As far as I know, nothing. So that leaves it up to Pixonic, and until they do something to curb the behavior, then they are at the very least tolerating it. |

Sigh. can we stop creating rants about tankers? If you cant stand it, just report the dude. Repeating the same thing here again and again doesnt change anything. Tankers won't change their minds and non-tankers also have their own mindsets already.
You dont like it, then use the form Pix has provided.

hahaha
I mean think about it though.
If a player spends a bunch of money on a hangar and then tanks down and then gets their account removed, isn't Pixo essentially robbing them of their money?
Pixonic could simply put measures in place to make it impossible to drop leagues.
They don't do it and so.... we have the current state of the game. Pixo is more worried about creating and rolling out the latest and greatest money grab items than they are about the state of the game.
Everyone knows that and therefore it is what it is. Simple as that. It is the game we choose to keep playing, or not.
EDIT: I don't have any tanker screenshots because tanking is old news.

They aren’t removing anyone’s accounts. Just putting them into the LPQ if they are reported and deemed to have been tanking

One thing that was out of my control was connection issues...Me ditching TDM and suiciding my bots, well that was my choice. Combination of both caused it to happen. I am playing using my sons iPad and sqauding with him as leader. Apart from dismal payouts, I still get gold for daily tasks, and o get my progress for event recorded and no league points. Currently sitting on step 4 of 5 for Rajin ( which I am going to sell) I will give it until Saturday and go to Apple and ask for refund. |

Sorry Lazarus Again but your well-intended thread has come off the rails. Despite what you've intended it to be, it's now loaded with ranting. I'm locking the thread and moving it to Rants. |
