Sandbagging Problem in Mid Ladder

[AtomusX]

Just so we're all clear, Sandbagging IS against the rules right? It really should be.

 

I've dropped 2 ranks because of people like this.

It's become a real serious issue for players including myself to progress through the ladder. I run into about 10 of these guys in a regular sitting.

 

If its not against the rules please consider something

Have you tried winning?

[AtomusX]

It's not really possible when most of these guys have rank 5+ stats

[Jajcyn420]

what about getting good, have you tried that yet?

Unlike these two trolls above...let me verify:

There is no stopping them. You have to avoid arena during these times. I suggest looking online leaderboards for who is on and off at ur ranks so you can rank up when they are offline. Cheers luv.

Просто чтобы мы все поняли, мешки с песком противоречат правилам, верно? Это действительно должно быть.

 

Из-за таких людей я понизил 2 разряда.

Продвижение по ладдеру стало серьезной проблемой для игроков, включая меня. Я регулярно сталкиваюсь с десятком таких парней.

 

Если это не противоречит правилам, пожалуйста, примите во внимание что-нибудь

Sometimes it's funny. They make this mechs, because they are thinking they are pro. Trolls, you can go to top rangs and farming good places in top sm

(Late but okay) If it doesn't work then you should call Vein Of Nekron, or should I call him "Nekron-san" for having high visibility jacket on the drops, maybe he can help busting their  with his veins. And also grow roots in their houses.

Years and years later ever since the old forum's great wave of harassment toward Frantic users instead of trying deal with them normally. And we are about have history repeat itself like a ripple once again, the "Supermechs Community" never change.

This is becoming a much bigger problem as the months go on.  This is a game exploitation as these players are purposefully tanking their ranks in order to gain easier wins.  Win counts go towards clan rewards so these individuals are farming easy wins to reap the benefits of the rewards given to all of the clan.  Furthermore, these individuals, when lowering their ranks, brings the overall clan rank down which puts the clan in an easier WAR with another clan.  Again, gaining an easy win within an WAR generates a reward.

This is classic exploitation of game mechanics.  I would suggest reporting these players.  You can do so through the game settings (gear icon top right of screen -> Support)  The more reports of these actions the greater chance this issue can be fixed.

**NOTE: for the individuals that commented "getting good" or "try winning" these comments are not helping the situation as those that are exploiting the game are preventing others from winning or getting good.  Not to mention the fact that everyone progresses at different rates and everyone has to go through the same levels and growing pains.  So the comments of "get good" or "try winning" is not only subjective, but also irrelevant to the subject.

**NOTE: to the individual that said it is not a violation of the TOS.  Actually it is. Sections; 2.2, 2.2.1 and 2.2.2

Decreasing your rank is not against the ToS.
