I literally stopped reading right there. When your ethical decision is based on what other people are doing, then you don't really have a firm sense of ethics of your own. Ethics and integrity are what you do and what you are in the dark, son. Cutting the BS we can easily sum it all up nice and simple. Are you screwing over your team for your own selfish gains? That's all there is to it. You're either being a good person to the best of your ability or you're not. It's something you ask yourself.

this is a game of ethics? Hmm guess I must be confused I thought it was a mobile app with robots killing each other...I can separate real life from video games...can you? Our character (ethics, morality, values, etc) shows up in everything we do. It's not something we have here and abandon over there. If a person will abuse a video game for imaginary profit, he'd likely abuse other systems in life. You are correct - War Robots is just a video game. But the other blue robots on your team are being controlled by other real people, most of whom are playing War Robots to win. They probably try to do their best in real life, too. That's as it should be. You'll do what you'll do. Remember that it shows the rest of us what you're really like. It should also show YOU what you're really like. Well said. Another excellent post. I'd buy you a beer if I could sir. Fire true.

Just want to state something about the comment above. lilryry - If you are in LQ, you can tank all you want there. It won't work and no one cares. However, if you are trying to smurf or fade in NQ, that is wrong. The thing is, your teammates do not cares if you indirectly give them wins by causing them a lose. To them, it is a big fat 'Lose' and 2% off their W/R ratio, 50% less silver and no gold. And that is what is is perceived as: this dump ditched the battle and did not contribute, forcing us to fight and lose a 5v6 and screwed us over. If you are in LQ, I apologize for this, but if you are in NQ, I do not.

Tankus Flagellavit = The tanker who's wife, GF and significant other keeps forcing them to abandon games because she wants to "communicate" more in their relationship. Also the said partner really hates War Robots and gaming in general. If I ever leave a game, it's due to this. There are no words to describe my wife's hatred for War Robots! I try not to play when we're in a room together and make sure she has plenty of help and attention. However, if War Robots isn't ticking your wife/GF/etc off, you're probably not playing enough to contribute to a top 20 clan.

Take wins from those who do what they should, in order to give wins to those who just can't manage to get them on their own, skimming the extra gold for himself along the way! A good old Public Servant! Fantastic!

Now I'm Fighting legit in every match and waiting to be put back in NQ where I can resume playing the game normally but in the meantime I'm having fun seeing a side of the game I wouldn't otherwise see. Bot variety is is so much better in LQ compared to RQ, don't believe me go read the thread started today and most lists read the same, lance, lance, Galahad, Griff, griff, lance, lance, lance, fury with maybe a carnage thrown in here and there...all of which are SLOW AND BORING(Galahad isn't bad), I have no desire to waddle around in a lance to be able to compete. That's where the 3v3 and 4v4 nature of LQ shines, yes there are still Lances but there aren't 6 of them on the map at all times so I can use light bots to sneak around and swipe beacons and not get toasted, I'm into faster gameplay and LQ provides that for the time being but I would say it's time is about to cometo an end so now everyone will get to bust out the heavies and bang their heads against the ancilot wall again...o boy can't wait.

Popcorn thread... Loads of tears... Lemme tell you something, funny guy. Last week a guy in a Gareth took out my last two bots out of my 5-slot hangar at Springfield single-handedly, which were my Thunder Carnage and Hellfire Rhino - causing me to mech out. His Gary was FIVE levels above all of my bots, even though we were in the same league. How do you think he managed that? Huh? Guys like him are the reason I hold a grudge against Tankus Moroni.

Alright, then I apologize for that statement. Tanking in LQ usually means you are screwing over other tankers/exploiters/randoms. no need to apologize, I haven't ever tanked for the sake of lowering my rating, I did prioritize the quest goals during the event over winning the match so my rating did sustain quite a hit but it's almost back to where it was before. My arguing today is just based on the fact that a lot of people here get upset about what happens in LQ when it doesn't affect them at all, furthermore they've complained about it to the point pix is now lowering rewards in LQ which will only drive more tankers back into NQ. So in essence the moral police that just can't stand the thought of tankers and leavers have just made their situation in NQ worse, guess I can't understand that line of thinking

I'm almost sure that most of the players tanking/fading don't really enjoy what they are doing, they just feel forced to do so because of the lower rewards gained in higher leagues. They probably just don't have the time to grind. As much as they drive me mad in the heat of the battle, I can't really blame them, if I think about it keeping emotions out of the equation. The reward sistem of this game, and the behavior it encourages, is the main problem here. A game for kids shouldnt be an ethical test. Kids shouldnt be tested. They should be teached. Also, reward good behavior instead of punish bad one is the way to go in 2017. Fail here from pix.

...Also, reward good behavior instead of punish bad one is the way to go in 2017. Fail here from pix. Heck, you don't even have to punish bad behavior, just don't reward it. That's where my idea of no gold or silver when dropping more than one whole league step from your max qualifying league. Example: if your highest league qualification is Expert 2, you will get no silver or gold if you drop below Diamond 2. This accounts for the ups and downs we all experience, but would remove the incentive for advanced players to dive into the kiddie pool for the quick and easy gold rush. If there are no rewards, they won't go. The incentive will be to stay in the fight and help blue to win. There would be no need for a LQ, banning from the game, locking accounts, etc. Just reward upward or close to level progress. Simple and effective. It would also encourage players to squad with players in similar leagues to avoid being dragged under by a Silver player amongst Experts and Masters, which I see all too often, and as usual, in blue...

Pix has confirmed that Kiddie Pool residents will have gold and silver rewards drastically reduced, and that their League points frozen where they are until they stop splashing and play with the adults again.
Keep going, tankers. I suspect this is going to be your last chance to behave and Get Good before a ban / reporting system is put in place. Not too late to shape up and make a better name for yourself.

don't yet have the lineup to swing matches against maxed hangers which is where I get placed after dominating 10-20 matches in RQ but Have patience young padawan, I'm upgrading as we speak Not maxed, just 4-5 levels lower than par. Not 82% but..this NQ. Matches can be swung and won on lower gear. Walls, flanking, control of open areas between beacons are great. Believe me!

Yeah, you're a regular Robin Hood of War Robots. i didn't wanna be the one to say it but I have to agree with you A Robin Hood of morons =D. I full well know how LQ plays, one of my 2 accounts is in it. There wallows some of the stupidest high level players I've seen. Morons with 12x12 Galahads and ancillots that cornershoot right into the corner, whose one strategy for evasion is a defiant rage eject, which they have plenty of time to do as their health pool is so huge. Is it easy to win and win gold there? Yes. Is it fun "dominating" imbeciles? Not really, not when you're used to playing against proper squads that work together.

Can't blame her I guess, the Rog is pretty addictive.
