I like the idea of a free play with less restrictions and zero, or very reduced, rewards. But to compete... both in rewards and ranking... seeking advantage of any kind should be punished. LQ is seeking advantage. I like you Blast... I disagree with you constantly!!... Well... about some things anyway, and agree strongly about others. But, I do like you. However, I just feel you are on the wrong side of this coin. Fun is fun. Competition is competition. There is no way that what happens in LQ should be paralleling what happens in NQ. Instead, what happens in LQ should stay in LQ. (sorry for the cliche  ) You argue that it is about the fun... then like Divine said, have your fun. But you don't get to have the same rewards that peeps get when playing on the competitive side if you are facing noobs and half teams. IMO, YMMV |

What you encountered were, "Tankers." It is what the vast majority of Players are dealing with. 6/6 is perfect for Silver, I'm Silver with 4/5. But you now understand how "Tankers" affect the Players. They are being stripped of their profits and will play fair, should this be implemented globally. I understand, you are victim of circumstance but bad behaviour does not justify the ends. You will get out of LQ, soon. Just get those Beacons and smash your enemies. Maybe 6/6 is perfect for silver now, when most of tankers are locked up with me in the LQ  , but at the time I "had" to lever down my league points I can assure you there were time zones when the game was impossible for me to play. I'm well aware of how the tankers affect the game. Thanks for the cheering up. I've being getting beacons and killing robots since april the 10th, and I'll keep doing it until I finally get out of this hell. I really hate LQ. But after almost a month down here, patience is reaching its limit. ... Ah! And now Pixonic decided, that the only two weeks that I could earn a couple of gold per battle, they are going to remove it, just to punish the bad guys... I'm so, so, so deeply frustrated.... |

Awww Come on. If they are going to do this might as well make it easier to get in and out of LQ. Also a warning that you will be dropped in LQ might be good as well.

The requirements are: Play All Maps - you cannot 'Skip, Leave early (Punch-out) and you must "play" the duration; do damage, destroy Mecha, etc... If it seems to be taking an inordinately long time, you could try and speak with Pixonic. They may tell you how much longer you'll need or any other pertinent information.

Pixsucknc - again, i need to point out that the intent of the LQ was not to create an alternate game mode in War Robots. It was intended to separate the leavers from harming the experience of other players. Just because you and others find it more enjoyable, does not legitize it as an alterative. And announcing that it is more fun than regular play continues to encourage others to try to enter and thus has an impact on the community. The only way to get in the LQ is to leave regular game play matches. Pilots are deliberatly tanking to get in. If Pix wants to make the LQ an optional form of play, then there would be an opportunity to choose that without interferring with the experience of other pilots. However, it is not there and Pix has not developed any other mode of play. They are working on it, they say, but it is not available at present. therefore, since it was intended to be a jail and since you and others appear to enjoy the LQ and the game play it provides instead of the rewards it offers, removal/reduction of those rewards should not be a problem. The game play will still be there. It was never intended to be a jail. The intent was to separate not to punish. The rest of your post is moot. Pixonic should take a ?firetruck?ing hint and realize that players enjoy the LQ much more than the regular queue. The regular queue is the one that needs to be removed/rewards-nerfed. Just completely randomize the MM and the game is fixed IMHO. Great thread, folks. Carry on.
If anyone needs me, I'll be over here, swimming in blastronaut tears.

I'm playing all my robots, even when I'm the last man standing and there are 3 or 4 maxed guys in my spawn zone. I have opened about three tickets to Pixonic and their answers in summary were: "We are sorry about your circumstances, we are well aware of your situation but there's nothing we can do about it, you must play by the rules until you clean up your karma. All information about your karma is secret and we can not provide you of any kind information. There's nothing we can do about it." I wish they coul put me in probation so the'll see that I just want to play by the rules. Thanks for the advices and hope to see you around! |

Divine Thunder The problem is the LQ population pool is already comparatively small and if you remove the, let's say, 50% of people there purely for resources, each consecutive match is going to have the same 3 people on each team. So not only are you taking gold and silver away from people who genuinely enjoy the LQ experience, you are potentially ruining the experience altogether. In fact with pilots under level 15 gone and farmers gone, LQ might not even be feasible. It will literally be one on one matches or 2 minute waits for the match to begin. At a certain point it would make more sense to just get rid of LQ altogether and employ some other anti leaving mechanism. Even in the regular queueing in iOS you often run into the same players over and over. A sign I suspect that less upper league people are playing the game. This post just makes me giggle so much. "In fact with the pilots under L15 gone" Seriously? Why don't we say "With people who had no idea how they got there, who have no chance of winning, enjoying the game or earning anything gone, I can't beat the snot out of them and take top honors easily and without effort". Cry me a river about how long it will take you to be matched up. As for getting rid of LQ and using another anti-leaver mechanism, what? Right when it will kick into high gear? In regular queuing in iOS I almost never see the same faces again. It's a big deal when I spot one I remember. And hey, when those 50% of the players who are in there to earn resources leave because they can't they will swell the player pool back out in the Real League. You know, the one you should be playing in. if you like prison, stay in. If not, get out. |

I fail to see the "punishment" in reduced or no rewards for free play?? People will still be able to play LQ for fun with out restriction. As for the insinuation that players enjoy the LQ more than the League...I don't think that is even remotely accurate.
Not having the level 15 and under players in the LQ to bully is just deserts...Once the LQ becomes an actual game selection mode..I might enjoy playing it from time to time as will others. But, until it it is a verified mode the clowns need to be ushered off the playing field so the players can actually play.

They can even get good silver while going down in leagues. And there are other methods talked about in this forum that doesn't involve leaving and that I won't reproduce now. I'd rather have happy tankers all together in LQ. Arakos Exactly this. |

If you think I struggle to win gold in the NQ you are delusional. If you think advantage seeking should be punished then you must be upset that map skipping no longer sends players to the LQ, right? Alternate game modes without Gold rewards would be amazing, no silver would also be fine as long as Pixonic didn't charge you for repair costs. I'm not arguing for equal rewards for LQ, we should get higher rewards. Just keep the LQ at event level rewards all year long to keep us Tankers happy and let the "competitive" players wallow around in the mud for our table scraps. |

I can agree that LQ is very competitive, and going 1v1 against a maxed enemy with a significantly weaker hangar has its odds stacked against you. If you haven't done that, I can tell you that it is much harder than inside your little bubble of Diamond and Expert. We should get equal rewards, at least, for that. I will have to strongly disagree with blastronaut 's comment on getting higher rewards in LQ. If you guys in NQ did not know, matches with less people usually go quicker, therefore producing a faster gold income. I will support diminished rewards, but not no rewards or higher rewards. Now that I think about it, removing the lower leveled guys from LQ will put longer matches instead of 2 minute spawn rapes, which we should also be rewarded for. Yesterday, in LQ, I bagged a total of 280 gold including the daily tasks. It will be no problem for me to get another ~250 gold plus 350 for moving up to champion league today. That's really too much gold lol. Just my view on it. |

If you haven't done that, I can tell you that it is much harder than inside your little bubble of Diamond and Expert. ...SNIP... Just my view on it. Just how many people that play this game do you think never get matched up with maxed folk? I was in a squad yesterday or the day before that had members that were everything from Silver on up to Champion league, and we all fought master on up b/c of the one champion guy on our team. Just one example. I have fought PLENTY of maxed hangars with a weaker hangar, that is not some mystical LQ only thing. I promise you that no one has just been playing in a bubble in whatever league they are in. Not to mention the tankers. I have seen soooo many 12s on the way up from bronze while I was in Silver and since I have been in Gold. (Android btw) and guess what? I have a weaker hangar. 8/9 ish. And plenty of times I have held my own or exceeded their performance... so what? All of us have to deal with that. Neither you, nor I, am special in that regard. No matter the Queue. LQ is not some magical place that the hardest, and therefore the most rewarding, battles are fought. It is a place that the exploiters go. To exploit each other, instead of people who want to play the damn game. Simple as that. Bubble... Really? |

To whomever wrote - tankers will adapt. Well, yes! They will look for new exploits. I worked in the radar industry before going into ministry. If there was ever an industry where one exploit had to be countered which lead to a counter-counter to be in turned counter-countered again, that was it. The history of that industry is full of trying to find loopholes around physics and human ingenuity. It is natural to have to be constantly vigilant to new cheats, exploits and questionable forms of game play and Pix will have to deal with the new one as it comes up. Just to say, "you cannot stop up the holes in the dike si quit trying," does not mean we allow unfair game play to continue. Pix and we, the community, have a duty to seek fair and reasonable game play.
Currently there are several exploits not being addressed such as sandbagging, fading, non-drop and the like. They too cause loses whuch result in reduced league scores. Those too will have to be address. And are being discussed with Pix.

The maxed guys you fight are usually the ones without skill and therefore cannot make Master or Champion. The players in LQ are either very good or very bad which ends up in usually a 1v1 against a better, more skilled pilot with a obvious better hangar than you. And yes, I do mean bubble. I assume you have only played from bronze to silver to gold on Android? That should translate to silver, gold and diamond on iOS. I've fought battles in NQ in diamond all the way to master, which translates over to gold to expert in Android. And I've played on LQ. With an 8/8 hangar. I am telling you right now, that it's as easy as you think there. And yes, there are certain games where all the skilled guys are put onto one side and all the unskilled guys are on another. And there are games where the entire red team doesn't even deploy a bot. But most importantly, there are those games where one's skill is truly tested against those exploiters who have everything but morals. And those are the games that rewards should be given out. |

The objective is to bring it down to less unpleasant levels. This is a good point, well made. My only fear is that the current system moves us to a point we progress slower at the very time we need more gold and silver. This is why people tank. Making that harder and forcing people to rise up the leagues will make their games less lucrative. So I suspect more people will leave the game as it get less lucrative. So the solution is... reward for being in higher Leagues. |

LQ is not some magical place that the hardest, and therefore the most rewarding, battles are fought. It is a place that the exploiters go. To exploit each other, instead of people who want to play the damn game. Simple as that. Bubble... Really? Look Tricky, the thing with you guys isn't getting matched with maxed guys. The maxed guys you fight are usually the ones without skill and therefore cannot make Master or Champion. The players in LQ are either very good or very bad which ends up in usually a 1v1 against a better, more skilled pilot with a obvious better hangar than you. And yes, I do mean bubble. I assume you have only played from bronze to silver to gold on Android? That should translate to silver, gold and diamond on iOS. I've fought battles in NQ in diamond all the way to master, which translates over to gold to expert in Android. And I've played on LQ. With an 8/8 hangar. I am telling you right now, that it's as easy as you think there. And yes, there are certain games where all the skilled guys are put onto one side and all the unskilled guys are on another. And there are games where the entire red team doesn't even deploy a bot. But most importantly, there are those games where one's skill is truly tested against those exploiters who have everything but morals. And those are the games that rewards should be given out. NO, the champions and Masters I face are very skilled. I squad with folks that are much higher than me sometimes... Android expert and occasionally higher... and there is no lack of good players. But, once again, YOU are trying to tell me what I see in my games... The last time someone else did that I got stupid and tried to argue... I won't this time. But just know that it's not some cookie cutter experience from iOS to Android and from player to player. What you see isn't what I see and what I see isn't what Blast sees and what he sees isn't what Dredd sees... etc. You can think that you know.... and even believe it with all your heart... trusting in it... and still be mistaken. Enjoy your day. |

This whole thread has turned into a dumpster fire.
Hopefully separate game modes appear soon so we can all each play our own preference of game.
Until then.
It's not hard to play the game straight. Just... play.
Simple.

, but at the time I "had" to lever down my league points I can assure you there were time zones when the game was impossible for me to play. I'm well aware of how the tankers affect the game.
