Dang. Can somebody mute Mr grammar, please? He is right, I admit (Jeah, I checked), but he really doesn't add to the subject... Trying to get me muted although I'm adding to the subject AND correcting grammar. Why do you want to silence me so badly? Probably because I don't agree with what you are saying. I'll remind you that forums are made for discussion.

Call it frustration. Your grammar posts are like a knife, scratching over a plate.
I apologize. No offense meant.

Tell you what. I play well enough, to be a good squad member for every clan member we have. His grammar wasn't incorrect. So please stop it right here and don't try to change the subject... Okay to you and to everyone, I think I have communicated fairly well why you all need to stop whining about tankers or clubbers or whatever else you got problem with. This discussion seems to be going to a different direction it seems.

I am not here to convince anyone. I posted replies because I have read too many people complaining and name shaming players who are tanking. Well here I am giving voice to some of those legit tankers and I say I am going to do it and and no one can do jack **** about it. When folks here don't even have the decency to refrain from naming actual players then they should not complain about tankers. Naming and shaming is a standard public response to antisocial behavior. As you point out, you intend to keep tanking so I'm going to continue pointing out why behavior like that is shameful. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it invalid. Funny thing: I was able to type it in the forum, therefore it is OK. Should pass your logic just fine.

Doing nothing and leaving a squad short handed is now a play style? Am I the only one who finds this obsurd? Misspelled "absurd" there bro. When the spellchecker underlines something as red, you should take the hint. I find it absurd that Pixonic rewards players for ejecting early. I do NOT find it absurd that players eject early, because the system rewards this behavior. Thanks for the spelling correction...and no I don't have a spell checker such as you described. In any case it has been edited to please you. You seem to be obsessed with the idea that because something is not illegal then it is ok. I understand that mentality exists; that no matter how much your actions hurt others, if it benefits you and you can get away with, then you'll do it. What I don't understand is why you are trying to defend it against the very people your actions are upsetting .

I can't have been the only influence, but you'll notice that one of the strongest opponents of clubbing and tanking these days is ł⸰§ĦȺĐ◎ŴƧŦḀɌ -- who used to club. I imagine WikiKittens probably played a much bigger role in convincing him to change his mind, but I would like to think this thread had a little something to do with it as well. I'm sorry, but you've misunderstood the details of my intentions. To start with, I have always been striving to point out the "shades of grey", such as farming gold with optimized equipment (like my former silver farming hanger 'variety pack' of L4/[6-9] builds that was my concession to the morality debate of a similar thread) vs "clubbing" which has been defined by the community as using ridiculously overpowered equipment builds like the infamous and extreme 5x L1/12 TMGep min/max hangars. Balanced on my own (broken) moral and ethical compass, I have always stated that I was 'farming' gold, but I did not consider myself to be a 'clubber'. Now, not referencing the above quote, but rather in response to pages of ridiculous replies... I find it vastly amusing that the 'bad guys' around here keep trying to apply ethical standards to moral issues. I pointed out the differences between morality and ethics and yet many continue to use this fallacious tactic. Grow up. When I stated "code", I meant the actual programmatic code in the game. This is the heart of the ethical side of the debate, in that "the game allows it to happen". Coding is a tool like any other. To simplify, imagine a hammer, a very common and useful tool. It is not intrinsically "good" or "evil" in and of itself. You can use a hammer to build a house, or you could use it to bash somebody's head in. Both uses are valid in the absence of any rule structures. This is where morality comes in, and has influence on ethics. We judge the intentions of the tool user and their actions on a moral compass. If such actions are deemed sufficiently harmful to the group, ethical standards (rules and laws) are created. Thus, murder is illegal, but hammers are not. Now replace "hammer" with "gun", and everything stays the same [except the perception shift of a "weapon" tool], (except you can't build a house with a gun, but, you can certainly defend yourself with it). Judge not the tool, but the hand that wields it. This topic is about "tanking", what I know as "smurfing" from previous generations of gaming. Once again I'm going to be a grey-walker and point out the variations of degrees in morality and ethics. We cannot say for certain what Pixonic's full intentions are in creating a new tool for matchmaking based on a ratio of hangar strengths vs performance ratings. I feel it is safe to assume at least 2 motivations: Put an end to the majority of min/maxing exploits, and encouraging the player base to focus on upgrading equipment (which is a source for one of their base-line revenue streams, the very common micro-transactions to fast forward an upgrade presented in most mobile/F2P games). Pixonic is a for-profit company, as such I have no ethical quibbles with their actions, and the only moral ambiguity I see is in how well they balance profiteering against quality gameplay. They have succeeded in ending the old ways of clubbing, but now Pixonic is facing a new technical issue with smurfing exploits, and we are all waiting for them to create new ethical standards (literally writing new programmatic codes into the game) that line up with the moral judgement of the community. I personally judge smurfing to be a far more immoral act than farming or clubbing, as I feel it is more harmful to the community at large. If you can't tell, this is bringing out the troll in me, and I am doing my best to channel my frustrations as a forum warrior instead. Those that obsess with blame games can certainly point the finger at Pixonic for failing to anticipate the exploitative flaws of their new MM, but [Pixonic's] intentions are good enough for me. I cannot forgive the moral failures of a certain segment of our player base however, as their intentions are clearly malicious.

" Tanking " purposely trying to loose a game to get your stats lower so you can play easier opponents. Playing your first bot only and sandbagging the rest of your hanger to get event currency is going hand in hand. The effect of this new cancer is now dragging all players win rates down as every team now has sandbaggers looking to sabotage their teams so they can lower their stats and still get event currency. "But, I have no choice you say, its the only way I can Farm now that Pix took away my ability to feed on noobs for easy gold'... Here is my point: Pix didn't ruin this game with the new MM. The ASScl0wns who are purposely loosing for their own selfish benefit are the ones who are ruining this game. The MM will never stabilize now that the clubbers are now tankers throwing games. No excuses. You are a dck if you "tank". You sir, are a moron. Pixonic created this mess, you should be calling them out. If players weren't rewarded for "tanking" they wouldn't be doing it. I think you are a fool for not taking advantage of this new style of play Pixonic has introduced. ...umm... I think thats the opposite of playing.
Oh yeah, and lol!

When folks here don't even have the decency to refrain from naming actual players then they should not complain about tankers. Most of you are complaining because tankers are exactly the people who make wins happen and when they are gone then complainers lose because they don't have what it takes to make a win happen but hey its the tanker's fault that they lost; well boo f*** hoo. Here we go again. In the second line, you state tankers are the people who makes the win possible. Here is my question: How do you make a win possible, by leaving your squad one man short. Your answer was: by not looking after missing players, instead playing the best, you can. So, do you mind, explaining that to me?

I'm still waiting for an answer. The question: How does a tanker getting a win, by leaving bis team? Oh no my friend you got me wrong here. I was referring to the remaining 4-5 players that they can still score a win without the quitters and tankers. I have seen this happening many times. In lower tiers in the old matchmaker it could be possible or very likely to win 1-2 players down when I had my geps. In the higher powered tiers nowadays and even with the old MM, it is an rare occurrence to win if you have 1 player not contributing. In fact even with full squads, having just a few more players with 4 slot hangers instead of 5 can be the difference between the W or the L. I'm wondering how you can see the effects of quitting a series of matches to ascertain that they were wins when you leave....I guess you only know when you tank 50 matches and your win rate is still not low enough to smack low power players. There is no way I can stop you...and I think you are set in your ways. Just don't try and justify it by saying there is no harm coming to others, and you are stretching things beyond reason by insisting you screwing your teammates is perfectly fine because they have a great shot at winning without you.....the only thing I can think of that would justify that statement is that you think you are such a liability it is better that you don't even play.....and I can't see you saying that.

If tankers are proud of their actions and helping the game why would they not want to be known? As for the second point it is not that the tanker was pivotal in the game and that not having them there meant the team lost. It is more that any player with the will to contribute could have made a difference vice having that spot taken by someone hiding and sulking in a corner because they don't like the new rules.

I just wanted to take a minute to thank the tankers. I've given up in the daily task of 8 wins. Between the new MM setting me up against OP hangars then half the team quitting, I can't get 4 wins a day. I play the game the way it was intended, always have, but I think it's time to hang it up for awhile. Pixo has become a serious cash grab entity, a majority of the players are only out to play (selfishly, I might add) the system and the new MM has made it near impossible to squad with half of my clan-mates.

In my own clan battles when someone gets connection issues and drops then we try extra hard to try and grab beacons and kill bots and what not instead of playing casually. Oh and you can track your wins in your profile dialog. So lets say my bots died after 3-4 minutes and I quit then later I can see if the won games number has increased. On a side note I am finding it funny that people are talking about ethics and morality while playing a game. Chill out keyboard warriors; nothing is going to change and players are going to exploit the loop holes every time. Alright I have a question for everyone. What a lower silver player should have done when facing a full gep hanger in the old mm? a) Play along just for the sake of ethics of good game and supporting team mates, or b) Quit the damn game and start another one; you time is too valuable to waste on random strangers.

Okay so I went through the effort of looking at your hanger. Its a decent one having Gareth and Galahad and Carnage which are my favorites. Don't really like an rdb as a Zeus Carnage is much efficient. With 54% win rate you might be getting 10/10 hangers but 1.8 kill ratio could put that calculation off by some margin. I can understand why tankers upset you so much because you are not equipped to take on the reds if someone quits. So me calling you a camper is really getting on your nerves right? You must hate campers lol. Look man I stand by my words; you can think of them in whatever way you want.

To answer that honestly: A
I never knew "clubbing" was a thing until I joined the forums.
I have never intentionally dropped a game for any reason. I am part of a squad and have a responsibility to contribute to the best of my ability. I realize that view could be somewhat colored by the fact that I am a 54 year old retired NCO and not a self absorbed, entitled, tween but I voluntarily joined the contest and have an obligation to my team to perform to my best ability.

Alright I have a question for everyone. What a lower silver player should have done when facing a full gep hanger in the old mm? a) Play along just for the sake of ethics of good game and supporting team mates, or b) Quit the damn game and start another one; you time is too valuable to waste on random strangers. Option b is acceptable in that situation. That's not someone systematically ruining the game for others, but rather someone with a rational response to having his or her game ruined by a jerk. Option c (below) is the decision tree I usually used. When playing against them: If one or 2 farmers, match can be won. Fight it out and win. Falling short of that, farmer can be denied gold. Target Gepards at expense of all others so that, in event of a loss, at least non-farming reds will have improved chance at victory spoils. If 3 or more farmers, match probably cannot be won. Consider leaving match and finding something else to do. If bored with nothing better to do, find amusement where you can. Drag matches out as long as possible to impose maximum inefficiency on farmers. Avoid direct engagement, circle map to flip beacons they leave open to white - no need to wait for blue b/c win is unlikely, but turning to white makes each match take longer for the farmers. When playing with them: Don't shoot reds. Wait 30 seconds (to ensure no one gets dropped in your place), then leave match to give other side a fighting chance. Advanced maneuver: Start out towards a side beacon; the farmer may assume you're taking it. Don't. Run behind farmers to encourage targeting of them. Avoid shooting reds and taking beacons. If you have 2 matches in a row ruined by farmer squads, the game is currently infested. It's not going to be fun for anyone: the farmers are "working" and everyone else is SMH (blastronaut, should that be STH in the 3rd person? ) that someone is so motivated to take a fun thing and make it "unfun" because they think that will make it more fun in the future. Find something else to do until after farmer bedtime. The "find something else to do" parts of that decision tree are what threatens a game's ability to deliver high active user counts, thereby motivating the developer to take action against exploiters. Developers don't spend money recreating what they already have, unless they have hard data that supports a compelling business case for doing so. I'm guessing they found a correlation between new users getting clubbed and lower subsequent activity metrics.

But hey, if you really wanna play a good War Robots match, be my guest. But be warned: You will face real competition here.

I never derailed this discussion but I couldn't stop myself from replying to derailed comments. Okay back to discussion then. I tank my win rate up to a point that I face around 10/10 opponents as my hanger is more suited for that. I find no solace in clubbing lower hangers as I believe buying gold is better than wasting time in playing for longer hours.

Tween is directly associated with a specific behavior which you think I am exhibiting; this is offensive to me but I believe I don't need to lower my standards to reply in a manner most fitting for this kind of insult. As far as calling me a d**** is concerned, I would never call someone a d*** over something I don't agree with. That is where real ethics and morality come into picture which most people I think lack. Again I am not stepping on your right to express your views. Heck I am not even blaming the game developers now; those poor souls only do what they are told to do.
