My first experience of this. I lol'd when I realised I was alone. Then all the reds camped at my spawn point and beat me up, but not without a few "AHAAA!! I'M NOT DEAD!" moments when they thought I'd mecced out. If you look at the stats of each naughty blue player, it's clear they've been up to this a lot. Surely these patterns of game behaviour aren't too difficult to be automatically flagged up and penalties applied? Then there are the annoying players that destroy all but one of their bots at the starting block too - behaviour that's easy to set apart from genuine problems. I'm not angry because I've stopped investing so much into this game in terms of both money and engagement. I'm amused at shenanigans by players then the denial of reality by the Pixis to do anything about it. Anyway, SHAME on this clan for their behaviour. Just say no, kids!

A clan that tanks together banks together.

There was only one of me and I still got the highest score! Bring it on.

I keep reporting these types of clans and telling 「dookie」zonic they need to start banning entire clans. We all know they do not really care but it makes me feel better to vent at least.

Hey guys, I found a clan the other day doing this... but their stats didn't make any sense. Wonder if I can find the screenshot. Anyways, what was odd was that while their avg dmg for 50 games was almost 0, their winning percentage was something like 78%... does that make any sense to anyone? ?

They would not give me a straight answer but did say they were going to look into shutting that account down.

The only way someone could get those stat legitimately would be to play KOTH mode exclusively and deal no damage while owning the beacons... Highly unlikely..

I keep reporting these types of clans and telling ?poo-poo?zonic they need to start banning entire clans. We all know they do not really care but it makes me feel better to vent at least. I think they do care to a degree but that form is not the vehicle they use to tackle the situation. I would be rather certain they have a technical mechanisms to detect tanking behaviour. Along the lines of a script or an extract mechanism from logs that capture user behaviour. It really isn’t that hard. Damn, the logic needed to catch a super tanker in lower leagues is incredibly simple. The form is there to keep people happy. Happy that you are engaged in the crusade and to facilitate you with letting off some steam. Imagine if every tanker gets reported once a day by multiple people. There would be 1000s of reports and if each report needs human verification than Pixonic would need an army of people just to scrutinise the forms. That wont happen. And it would be commercially naïve for anyone to expect that there are people at Pix siftings through reports. Even more so, imagine the complications that are brought up by the false positive reports. Or even if tankers decide to strike back and start reporting people at random in order to clog the system by creating false positives. The only realistic use I can see for this form is if there is a counter at the back end in regards to the user id and if that user id is reported x number of times than the system triggers a request for investigation. But again, don’t think that’s what has been implemented as pix has the tracking capability to know who the tankers are.
