Had 3 matches in the last week which we won in the first 5 seconds due to no show.
Opposing team? Exo.
I opened one of the profiles and he had a pretty strong hanger, even a Bulwark in there. League? Recruit. OMG

There goes the managerial and structural failure, or better said, sheer incompetence of Pixonic. If they have coded it that tankers can only drop one league from where they are sitting at, that problem would be solved. Then they should make it that the player must be under performing for at least two weeks in that league before dropping yet another.

getting sick of meeting L12 mark 2 full house hangars with 4000 victories who claim to be in silver league - getting sick of that.

Recruit. OMG As member of EXO I can guarantee that this is false. Any member of EXO caught tanking is immediately dismissed from the clan. Currently 40 out of 41 members are in Champ league, while the lone Master is only 31 points shy of Champ. We have no members anywhere near Recruit. Was this in iOS, or some other platform? I believe there is another clan using the EXO name on another platform. |

It’s interesting seeing all of the various rumors that float around about top clans. After being a member of EXO for a while, I now take them with a grain of salt. For instance, most members of EXO are not your typical whale (although we do have some members that drop quite a few bucks on their hangers). I personally don’t have a single Mk 2 bot in my lineup, and I’ve worked hard just to get enough resources to level up most of my weaps to Mk 2.
No form of cheating is tolerated - offenders are booted from the clan if they persist.
We rarely use voice comms, as squads are usually pretty ad hoc. We frequently get our tails dusted by better coordinated squads, but can usually hold our own.
Like any family, we have our little squabbles, but mostly we’re just a bunch of guys that enjoy laughing with each other and blowing stuff up. ?

TooSchoolForCool, they most certainly have not always been a tanking clan. |

No form of cheating is tolerated - offenders are booted from the clan if they persist. This is a contradiction... "booted from the clan if they persist" means HEY! WE CAIGHT YOU, STOP IT NOW OR YOUR OUT... So then they apologize and stop... They retain their spot... Because, you know; they didnt PERSIST... So it's all overlooked... its all good! Not tolerating Tanking/Fading is "Your a Tanker/Fader, your out" then boot them. THAT isnt tolerating it. Its really hard to believe, as War Robots exist in the here/now that a #1 clan can get there bu JUST spending money and playing alot when its taken the winning combination of spending, playing AND Tanking/Fading (SOMETIMES even Hacking or even Loading, but I doubt that here) for others to achieve similar status. I think you really believe what your saying... Aside from the issue of which EXO is this clan, I speculate that there is a dark element in the clan, a certain "click" of players within, that have an "understanding" with each other. I have seen similar instances of this happening before, elsewhere. Does your clan have a Chat sonewhere? Well, I bet theres a Leadership chat too... Maybe even ANOTHER, secret chat where dark practices are possibly coordinated. |

Of point in note, I’m am onto my third brother clan and not once has anyone in anyone of our clans been accused of tanking (outside of me, but if I run level 9 lights and 12 weapons and still drop to diamond, thats not tanking but bad matchmaker and peers not in the know) |

Better yet. Just make it so Dash Bots and anything after can't be used in anything lower than Expert. Sort of like where you have to be a certain level of player to buy bots which is already part of the game. Your level drops below Expert? You have to change out your bots and items. Problem solved. It's so dumb to all Mk2 hangars in Gold or something like that.

Maybe even ANOTHER, secret chat where dark practices are possibly coordinated. Wow. Hold on a minute while I go put on my tin foil hat...  Let me explain my verbiage. We all have times when we have to drop from a match (phone call, crashed device, bad connection, etc...). When I said 'persist' I meant someone who drops from matches more often than can be explained by the above. Rather than assume what I meant, how about just asking me for clarification? The part about a 'dark cabal' of EXO players that meet in secret chat rooms to develop evil schemes of world domination is simply absurd. We do have a chat room on Discord, not to mention the in-game chat. Know what we talk about? Beer, women, and our pets. When I first joined EXO I was a little apprehensive that I was going to find myself with a bunch of maladjusted millennials living in their parent's basements. I was surprised to find that most EXO members are actually middle-aged family men like myself that just like to spend some quiet time blowing up bots. We don't need to cheat to win. In fact, we probably have a losing record against many of the other top clans (we celebrate whenever we pull off a win against NOOB, CDxx, 1%, VOX, HEAT, etc...), as we don't spend a lot of time planning strategies or even turning on our voice comms. We all just enjoy playing, thus we play A LOT. No need to assume that top clans must cheat to score cups - we simply play more than other clans. |

Maybe OP is talking about a different Exo (different platform?) EXO on iOS is definitely very active in Champions league. They're actually one of the clans I won't leave if I see them in a full Squad because I know they're not full MK2 and the game usually isn't completely one-sided. I don't recall ever seeing any of them tanking. |

Im no fan of exo but to say their tanking is incorrect!!!! Im on ios .... I agree. I hate playing solo with a squad of randos and coming up against NOOB or some other top clan - being slaughtered is not my idea of a good time. I also don't like it when I'm squadded with EXO and we are pitted against a squad of Masters & Experts - squashing a team like bugs is not fun. I'm not sure what the solution is, as matching only full squads against each other would probably slow the match maker down to a crawl. When I'm playing solo and see a full squad on the other side, I just try to make the best of it and score as many points as possible before the inevitable steamroll. Thankfully most of these games are mercifully short. |

I am not saying you are lying, however unless you have proof, your words are just baseless accusations. No offense meant. I too get frustrated by the players who find pleasure in this practice, and have definitely made my feelings known! Some advice: If you're really adamant about the whole thing, start by taking a few screen shots of the battle results and the suspected individual's hangar, so you can post that up with your explanation of the situation. Also, there is a thread you can use for this sort of thing, called Wall of Shame. To view the guidelines and post to that thread, CLICK HERE
-or- If you jsut feel like ranting you can post your feelings abput the sate of things HEREHope that info helps, and you find yourself tanker free for a long time to come! o7 |

Just like the poser Vox clan on Android with the poser Adriannn member... I'd say this is a platform based discrepancy.
Totally a guess though... I don't play FBGR/STEAM or Amazon so I can't say if there is an EXO there.
PS, there was an EXO in a game I used to play, years ago, that were always pretty high in the rankings at that time (mostly due to skill)... seems to be a name that carries with it an expectation or two.
IMO, YMMV

I don't play FBGR/STEAM or Amazon so I can't say if there is an EXO there. I do and can...there's an Exo clan (Exodus). Formerly known as F/\L. I used to be a member. Another person I know was also a member, until they started tanking for honor points, coordinating drops into FFA, and seal clubbing. It's a bit disappointing, 'cause I liked a lot of the guys in it. Unfortunately, when other clans in FBGR started tanking for honor points many Exo members complained to Pix about the exploit, but didn't get any results. Not even a response that wasn't canned. So, they decided they could call it 'farming' and/or an act of protest to justify it as not cheating and jumped in. I rarely see them actually playing anymore. Kind of a bummer. |

I have one thing to say.. if you are going to accuse SOMEONE or SOME CLAN, POST PROOF along with the accusation..
OTHERWISE, don't post inflammatory garbage against others...
----
It takes NO effort to besmirch someone or some Clan..
Make the effort.. If you are posting something like the OP, post the CLAN and the PLATFORM and a SCREENSHOT.. otherwise this kind of stuff should be deleted as it serves no purpose..
My opinion anyway..
Cheers...

Good on you for leaving them. It's a total joke that they call it "farming" and act like it's any different from tanking really. The degree to which they and other top clans on FBGR/Steam engage in this practice is so damaging to our platform. They are actively putting regular players off of the game entirely when we already struggle with a smaller player pool to begin with. It's so short-sighted; what will all your farming have really gotten you if you just end up decimating the player base of the platform in order to get it? All the shiny toys in the world won't matter if there's almost no one left to play with you. Even an influx of new players (which is increasingly unlikely) won't matter because they're years from being able to compete with farmers. We all know that Pixonic has been hurting the game in various ways since the release of the dash-bots, but that's no justification for actively making the situation even worse than it has to be. |

So that's why I dont see F/\L any more. As I recall there was FAL and F/\L, not sure if they are related. Same as there seems to be Exo and one with a fat dot instead of a lower case o. I would assume that as clan numbers are limited, that clans use slightly different variances of the name. In any case, I didn't bother with screenshots, as Pixo's Tanker Reporting Form is now defunct, and with no other way to report it, they would just waste valuable storage space. Back in the day of HL the top clans had their own websites, you could go there. This all occured in FBGR, so the title should read EXO(FBGR) is tanking hard, to avoid confusion. Obviously a completely different clan to bugdoc's |
