Calling out the "Tankers"

I miss when this forum was rather brand-new and didn't have that much people.

Is there a reason this(and quite a lot of other threads) aren't in Rants section? There should be a popup when creating a new thread; "Is this a rant? If so, go to the Rants section. ".

It's somewhat an overreaction, but I like that the forum is(read:felt) more orderly than it is now. I entered during Nov 2016-ish.

Having the lowest hangar score is kinda the point of running 3/9 geps isn't it? Even if 3/9 geps had a lower hangar score than, for say, 5/4 mediums, they were much more effective at that level.

Think people are missing the point this mm is bad because it supports upheaval and exploitation. Because the more chaotic the game is the more dummies buy gold. Seems like alot of TT players are whining too much that the people they are sealclubbing are leaving by tanking. Honestly go figure

If people are running 5/4 mediums wouldnt you agree they were not properly informed on how to build a hanger? And wouldn't it be better for those people to view my profile and compare and hopefully learn better ratios on how to build a hanger.   Fortunately your argument is weak because most of the hangers I face is lvl6 bots and higher with lvl 7 or 8 weapons of higher,and most are huge bots not medium. I'm still confused why your defending such a exploitative mm system.

What really kills me about you anti tanking people is that you think the problem is the people that do it,instead of the MM system that created the need for those people to tank.

So having weapons 5 levels higher than noobs is fair? that isn't an advantage in your eyes? I take it you don't know what you were going up against. And isn't carefully making sure your weapons were just a high enough level so you could get into lower tiers fall under your definition of clubbing? I don't really care if you say you didn't mean to go up against lower level players, the point is, you were, and it wasn't fair on them

Do you even read the posts you respond to?  Read it again slowly so you can understand it.  I played against silver tier competition.  I didn't play against noobs or lower level players in bronze.  All players were at least level 20 with bots that were equal to or superior to the ones I ran.  Mostly britbots, griffs, leos, stalkers, and other geps that could easily take mine out one on one.  Mine were faster than most, which is why I preferred them.  I do know what I was playing against.  What amazes me is that you think that you know too.

Did I miss one of your witty comebacks I'll have to scroll back. 2nd you make alot of assumptions  and innuendo about me that simply isn't true. Please learn to stick to facts.  Then again maybe I just thought you weren't worth commenting  back to since every point you've  made is weak.

'Weak'? Hmmm...is this one of those piss weak excuses because you can't actually counter my argument? For the seventh flipping time, actually answer instead of insulting me. (P.S I'm pretty sure that if you have said it about yourself, it's a fact)

Not really. You didn't even answer the post you quoted.

This argument will never be resolved. For many like myself who were taught and raised with the concepts; "It's not about winning its how You play the game", "there's no I in team " "It's all about being a team player" tanking is disgusting and wrong.

A few however believe joining a team inparts no obligation. Nothing maters but serving their self interest.

This is like a Hindu from India trying to explain to a man from the US that barbecuing and eating a steak is a horrible atrocity. They have completely different values and beliefs.

What this will come down to is how the majority of the population feels. Like any community the majority of the people will decide what conduct is acceptable and demand laws be made to enforce it. Pixonic being the game developers could also decide to make a ruling on what they find acceptable in their game.

If this thread has accomplished anything it has shown how passionately people feel about this and how the majority of people in this forum feel.

Let me help you: They didn't have bots better than you. They just didn't spend money (or several months) to acquire gold to acquire overpowered bots that the old MM would allow to play against inferior competition.

Under the old MM, low level Gepards with high level weapons were treated exactly like Pattons, except with higher health, much higher speed, and higher damage output (25% fewer hardpoints but >50% higher damage per weapon). Telling yourself that the opposition had superior equipment is delusional.


Exactly how much speed were you sacrificing to run Gepards at level 3?  They start off with maximum speed at level 1, which includes having far more speed than any other robot could achieve in that "tier" of competition (because the only other options were Stalker or Gareth, both of which need higher levels to achieve that speed and both of which also had a MM penalty).  By the way, there wasn't even much of an armor sacrifice for that bot before Pix realigned HP upgrades for all bots.  L3 Gepards enjoyed more armor than most bots in that tier as well (all other lights, Patton, Golem).  So you had pretty much every advantage possible using what was essentially a P2W setup.  

Despite claiming to have been pretty smart about how they game worked and should worked, it seems to me that all you were doing was applying a well-known but unsportsmanlike recipe for abusing the game - and apparently you didn't even understand why it worked.  


Cheating.  You'd be "brudelly" clueless to think otherwise.  

To bully around the newbies...
