Quite a few have been honest enough abt tanking.
Here's mine:
I don't like tanking in fact have not done it, but with the 1st league season ending and proved that it is a failed system, I'm beginning to think that I should be doing it. After all pix isn't doing much (or none) abt tankers so why not? Tankers are gaining a lot extra au while us non-tankers are not gaining extra au. This is after all a game so why should I lose out for the sake of...I dunno...dignity?
Your take?

Thank you, now I have a bud to people throw rotten tomatoes at along with me lol.
But seriously speaking now, yes, you are right.
I have made about 50K Au in 3 months, I didnt though I was going to prey for the weak or exploit anymore, but Pix is BEGGING us for that....

The issue isn't about what you do it is about what everyone else does. Tanking, will wreck the game, bronze will become a shark tank for a large chunk of the month without significant changes. New players will stop playing, causals will stop playing... it simply won't be worth it. Even if you don't will enough people do it to trash it? Yea, no doubt. |

My girlfriend is silver and she cant barelly win since Silver/Bronze ALREADY is what you have mentioned. Maybe this should work as a protest so Pix can finally listen to us. |

zer00eyz the issue isn't just abt what others are doing, for me is what (or rather lack of) pix is doing. I'm saying if pix isn't bothered, should we?

I can't control what others or even for that matter what Pix does. Not going to email, sign petitions or any of that other stuff. Now I did lower my ranking on review from 5 to 4 stars, because the Wild West bots are not available yet. I will continue my upgrades, fight battles, and be there for whoever wants to play the game with me. Got 2 v 6 one time. It was an awesome battle at our spawn. We lost, but it was FUN! |

I'm not tanking but I've given up on pix and I went back to small botz cause I like the game style better. They might be lvl 1 botz but I try my best to win by kiting other side into my side's fire arc and grabbing beacons. Botz with ènergy shields seem to fear my lvl 1 punishers. I find the game a little more challenging This way playing all lvl 1 against much higher bots and if I need more of a challenge I just forget I have a stealth button. So far this has worked surprisingly well and surprised how well my side has done. Go blue team go.

I feel sorry for the tankers. They can't compete successfully against their own level of opponent. They fail to earn in the game unless they tank. They take the easy way out in life too no doubt. What does that mean? Just, that they're probably not very successful in life either. I got a beautiful wife, lovely kids, a house two cars a great job etc. If I wanted I could pump $100 a week into this game and it wouldn't bother me. But I don't because this game isn't all about the gold, it's about having fun and competing. But It's not a competitive environment tankers want.
Tankers, yo! You're bullies. You're weak, it's pathetic. You're pathetic! At some point you decided you're a failure and tanking was the answer.
I get it. You weren't hugged enough as a child. Like I said I feel for ya!

This sort of reminds me of a question a professor would put on his exam.
If everyone selected answer "A" the whole class would get +1 point towards their final score, however if 3 people or less selected answer "B" then those three people would get +5 points towards their final score. If more than 3 people selected answer "B", no one in the whole class would get any free points.
In all the years he ran the class, only one class ever got free points.
There's several conclusions you can draw from this.

Ah...another one comparing an online game to real life. The way you are cursing tankers seemed you must have been bullied bad as a child. Anyway, go compete all you want, it's still a game, and in games I want to have fun, so as far as I'm concerned so I do whatever I want to have fun |

Oh besides, it's not like I don't have au...I've 12k au at the moment. So not that I'm desperate for it. Plus I too can pump in real $ if I want. But then at the end it's an online game that has no relevancy to my success (or failure for that matter) in real life. So I'll just go do whatever I want in War Robots, as long as I have fun Sebenza 21 don't take it too hard man. Cheer up. EDIT : Now that I may start tanking, I better defend them in advance ? |

You did ask for everyone's "take" on tanking didn't you? I just expressed my view. If you took what I said to heart I apologise, it was not meant as a personal attack on you. Maybe you just need a hug. |

Maybe you just need a hug. Yep everyone needs a hug. It's good for health. Anyway, just that you are aware why I'm undecided on tanking yet, because there's still a glimmer of fun from challenges amid the disgusting mm. From my last game: (Check out the reds stats, generally 12/12. I forgot to show the weapons lvl. Others reds are similar, just posting one for reference. Lucky for me other blues are amazing and not the stupid ones.)   And mine:  |

Okay, maybe harsh... Maybe a little triple h... But this has my vote for post of the year. If u have 12k gold NokiaSåmsung, then why be a firetruck for a few hundred more? |

Pix can figure out mm. What's ur win %? Meantime, if u don't need gold, then why tank? Hell, a us minimum wage job translates to 2500au per hour. But tankers going to waste 2-3 hours to earn 500 au? And wreck the game? Whiskey tango foxtrot! |

@heavypanda my stats just a few posts above. In the downward spiral currently.
And I don't think you actually have to use codes for 「whiskey tango foxtrot」, after all this is rant section lol
I dunno why, I dont need gold. Perhaps just me when playing any games. I like to stack up golds and all and not use them lol.

No need to slum. I'm sorry the mm is harsh, and gold is not so easy. But ur on the right track. Stay the course. |

It sounds like you're jealous of the money tankers are making, but don't actually want to do it yourself, which shows you have ethics.
Pix shouldn't put people in this invidious position.
Personally, I don't care how much Silver or Gold is on offer for clubbing other players.
Where's the fun in ruining other people's matches?
I'd rather play something else.

@heavypanda No worries, I'm too high on ranting mode to even feel offended lol And I know I'm on a right track ? In fact I'm working on lance in the background as much as I hate heavies. But before you start to have weird thoughts, I got it from Halloween Anyway I totally hate 2 things 1. Stupid new mm / league system 2. Stupid players |

NokiaSåmsung I think Pixo is getting ready to launch out tanker protection - with the Dash announcement, I bet that means there is an Easter event which could drive even more tanking and clubbingso they'll drop in their new policy to stop it. Maybe the tanker hell is the answer we're looking for or something meaningless, but I would wait till after Easter before you decide on tanking (hope that you don't but the game is pretty screwy now). Then you would have a better understanding of ramifications of being tagged as a tanker by Pixo.
