I have to disagree with you on tanking getting better because I report them 9 out of 10 matches in gold league. And the guys that aren't actually blowing all of their robots up-and-running suicide with their last one just stand there at the spawn point or don't drop a bite at all and then there are the players who run in with no weapons on their robots and just run around the battlefield. A lot of this evidence is I see really well equipped hangers with really high percentage win rates yet these guys are in low leagues. When I see somebody with a thousand victories in Diamond League yet there is a player in gold league with 3000 victories it makes you ask the question of how is this happening? I don't believe any of these players especially if they have a 60 or 70% Victory rate are legitimately in the lower leagues especially with multiple hangers and maxed out robots and weapons. The tankers are getting sneaky especially when they run one hanger of level 1 Cossacks with level 1 weapons and their other hangers are all maxed out so they play one good hanger then they play one crappy hanger or some variation of that scheme in order to stay in the lower league or drop to a lower one than that. I had a player I reported multiple times in gold league 3 and at least in gold league 2 with over 46,000 victories and it makes you wonder why is it allowed to continue to happen. As much as pixonic has told me they collect in a sign points to repeat offenders and when they hit a certain number they automatically drop into low priority queue I don't think low priority queue is actually doing the job and ask for the supply drops and battle rewards as being a deterrent to tanking well we all know that's a heaping steaming pile of horse crap. I'm even seeing instances of bad sportsmanship where your own teammate hinder your ability to play Push you out into enemy fire or just harass you through the game. Then you find the same asshats posting this stuff on Facebook because they think it's funny and even that is written in their user agreement as against the rules but it still happens because pixonic has not gotten Tough Enough on these cheating losers. If they solve the tanking issue by putting a hard floor in So you can't drop to a lower league once you're in a higher League a lot of the game balance will come back on its own. If a guy's in Champion League you should stay in Champion League no matter how many times he loses and that goes for every other league. Seems like a simple fix yet they continue to tell me it's difficult? Difficult my ass. You tell us you don't want tanking yet they still continue to allow it to happen which makes me wonder why? I agree it's the biggest problem in the game and hopefully one day they will read these messages and wake up and do something about it. I love your train of thought and it's too bad they don't listen to people with good ideas instead of watching whatever shows you mentioned and drinking or sleeping on the job instead of fixing the biggest problem in the game. It's really a sad State of Affairs when they can't get their own game under control.

You must be joking that you think the reward systems have stopped tanking? I'm not seeing any evidence of that. I thought the rewards in the higher leagues were going to be so great they wouldn't bother coming down to a low league but from what I'm seeing that is far from the truth

I completely agree with you this whole idea is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. The only guys that are going to like this are the ones who are going to find a way to work it in their favor and any rewards anybody gets out of sacrificing a slot to help out other players just to heard them for Shack train users to kill them all off needs their head examined. Oh sure it'll be fair they will give you extra rewards for sacrificing yourself to help the team. I'm waiting for pixonic to stop tanking which will fix everybody's problems yet Arc rise fall on deaf ears.

I for one have been saving Workshop points for a long time to get a Rajin or a fujin. I don't know about anybody else but I will be pissed off if my 10000 + Workshop points are suddenly converted to keys that I can spin for worthless prizes. You should be able to convert the workshop points directly into components and if I misunderstood that then I hope somebody explains it to me.

Must be nice to have a hundred and seventy-five thousand Workshop points to trade in but most players don't have near that and they certainly don't want them to switch because pixonic says they're going away and they turn them into worthless Keys which will in turn be spun for crappy prizes. Sure you'll get some good stuff out of it but if there's any conversion rate it will be in pixonic's favor so all the work you put into getting those Workshop Point's and even the people who spent gold to get them will feel like they got robbed. The game is becoming overly complicated and still the core issue of tanking hasn't been solved. Yeah I know there's a few guys out there that have hundreds of millions in silver and probably hundreds of thousands of Workshop point but that's not the average player.

Does that mean you're going to sacrifice one of your precious slots in your hanger for a support bot? I have no intention of giving up a precious slot that I have for a robot that can fight for something that's going to go out and help everybody else out. Why in the hell would I waste my time and energy collecting components for a bot that's going to save everybody else? What are they going to charge for them 10,000 components? Anybody that's dumb enough to spend that kind of money or time for a bot like that has to be out of their mind but then again there are the cheaters out there who have gotten gold illegally who will probably have a whole hanger full of them. Yep I can see them Reviving shocktrain - Bots over and over again so they can continue to kill the opposing team. Sounds like a klusterfuk to me.

If that was only true. They can't get rid of tankers soon enough because they are selfish losers who only care about themselves and what they can get out of the game. Unless they're playing with a whole clan full of them then they are just a waste of time because they usually time drop and the game is over and they lose and you win and they get what they want. When are the rest of the players who play honestly and have put money into the game and a lot of time going to get what they want the end of tanking. I only say this because I report tankers in 9 out of 10 games anymore and it's gotten worse since they're supposedly another event coming up from pixonic and everybody's gearing up to go to bronze League. They must be drowning and evidence of how bad this is and if they don't put a fix in soon there won't be anybody left to play the game. Sometimes the only way I win a game is if the other team is filled with tankers because if they're on my team it's over in the first minute and if the other team is full of guys that have dropped down from Champion League it's over even quicker than that. I don't know about anybody else but I love going out there and shooting it out with somebody who barely feels it and kills me in one shot. At some point you have to ask yourself what is the point? I'm still having fun but it's getting old real fast

I can see your new support robots being used by the top clans making them even more powerful especially when they combine it with the cheating they do with loaders for gold and tankers making them absolutely Unstoppable. The support robots should have their own special slot in the hanger that can't be filled with any other robot. Don't worry guys if you're out there and you're getting slaughtered I'm sure there will be droves of support box running out to help you, LOL. I don't see the point in a game that only lasts 10 minutes other than it will be out there healing maxed out Mark 2 robots with maxed out weapons that can't be beaten anyway that already dominate the battlefield and now you won't even be able to kill them off because they will suddenly be healed. To me it sounds like the stupidest idea ever because for the guys in the lower leagues might be a big help but the guys in the upper leagues will just give them an even larger Edge over their opponents especially when the tanking cheaters come down to lower leagues and use them two totally Crush new players and players that are rightfully in those leagues. Once again instead of fixing the tanking issue you want to create a new situation that will make the game even worse even though you don't realize it yet or you don't care. In a perfect world it sounds great but we are talking about war robots and there is nothing perfect about this game because of the direction it has been taken and the lack of supervision keeping an eye on cheating which I know they can do because they know what everybody is doing and the lack of discipline like Banning players who abuse the system on a regular basis for letting the player base know when there are players who have been thrown into low priority queue and for what reason so it will spread a message not to do it because right now there are way more tankers in every match that I play Then There are regular players. When you see a player in silver league or gold league and they're only level 25 or level 29 with only a few hundred victories and they are at the top when it comes to players in each match and at the bottom there are players with 2000 up to 45,000 victories and yet somehow they are so crummy a player we are supposed to believe they're actually supposed to be in silver league or gold league or even bronze league and occasionally we see them in recruit league but yet the developers have done nothing to prevent this. You can add every new robot and weapon you want and all the new maps you want but until you stop the tanking issue the game is going to follow suit by tanking until it finally goes bye-bye. Think of how many players will come back to the game if you stop the tanking and there have been many suggestions on how to fix that but all I hear is it's a complicated issue? Complicated my butt it's punishing people who are breaking the rules and you should be able to do that without anybody giving you any grief like the grief you get by allowing it to continue to happen. That is unless for some reason you are making lots of money on the tankers themselves and how they play there is no excuse to allow it to continue. Fix it and everything else will be golden

Well said heathen cat. See the problem with this is everybody that plays the game knows what needs to be fixed just the developers turn a blind eye. They're going to milk as much money out of this game until the day comes that's so many people have left that it's no longer sustainable and then they will turn the lights out. I think they really believe they're doing something to keep the game alive and fresh but if you don't give decent Rewards or a reason to stay in your own League then you're never going to get rid of this tanking issue and believe me even if they offered great rewards I'm sure these guys are chronic tankers now and can't help themselves. I'm not sure any of them could play the game fairly even if they wanted to and I would bet money on that. A bunch of skill less low lives. Somebody said it's a lot more complicated to prevent the tanking and maybe that's true so if you can't prevent it then you have to offer more incentive and the reward system they now offer isn't going to cut the mustard. It's not nearly enough when some guy can come down during an event kill all the noobs steal all the prizes work his way back up and then do it all over again. I don't think they care about a pittance of silver or a few components when they can do better by beating up on weaker players. Honestly if they read this I hope it sinks in that they have screwed up big-time all in the name of making money. It's great to make money on a mobile game but you have to have some kind of balance where you're growing the game making the players happy and then you will make money but these guys have thrown all of that out the window just to attract a handful of players that can afford everything and the rest of us are just cannon fodder. It's a shame

I think it's a great idea and it has been suggested before but apparently it must be difficult for the developers to do this, LOL. Yeah right and these are the same people that create map aftermath robot after robot and weapon after weapon but they can't control tanking. Low priority queue has had little to no effect and myself and many others are continuing to see chronic tankers still playing the game and tanking and cheating as if they don't have a care in the world. I hope the developers are reading this and wake up and do something instead of baby steps they need to take one large step and your idea is a great one.

Okay I have a couple of questions and if somebody else is ask this or has an answer that would be great. Now the battles are only 10 minutes long so why would anybody want to buy or sacrifice one of their slots in their hanger for a robot that will mend the other teammates because the battle still ends in 10 minutes unless some way you are planning on extending the battles out until everyone is dead? Are you going to give us a sixth slot so we don't have to sacrifice a good brawler or sniper for a rescue bot? I understand you believe this game is about team-based play but there are so many tankers that only care about what they can get and how many Rewards or prizes they can accumulate even if they don't need them so why would they help and then again why would I sacrifice a rescue bot of any kind that might help out some tanking piece of trash stay alive a little bit longer. If the battles down to one robot or two robots and you're being crushed I'm not sure a rescue bot of any kind is going to help and not to mention it will become a new Target for predators just like they hunt for shocktrain users and Hydra users. Oh look there's a rescue bot heading to help somebody and then they blast it into Oblivion. I mean the concept sounds great but I'm not sure it is something you want in this game being the battles are so short. I honestly thought when you guys did Team Deathmatch that you were going to let the game Run until there was only one player left but you still put a timer on it. Personally I think this is going to make a bad situation worse especially if you drop in on a map where that's all the other guys are running because it's easy to tank the match if you're only running Rescue Bots. What are they going to do rescue each other the whole time by healing each other. I'm sure it makes sense to you guys and maybe testing it out in the test server might change my mind but right now unless I'm getting an extra slot in my hangar just for Rescue Bots and I'm saying you can't put a brawler or a sniper in it you can only put in a healing or helper bot. Not to mention a lot of players like to play for maximum damage so why would I sacrifice my ability to get damage to help some other guy get damaged when I know the reward is going to be crappy. I only say that because the rewards you get are pretty crummy to begin with.

I agree there are instances when this might be helpful but just think when the battle is almost over or the tide has been turned or you're against overpowered gear and they can keep that overpowered gear on the battlefield almost indefinitely. Sounds like this will throw the game farther out of balance rather than fix it. Just sounds like a lot of craziness to me

Some really great ideas and because of that they will never listen to you. As long as they're going to continue to flood the game with new content and all these crazy ways to buy things and everything is overpriced and now they want to add in new robots to help heal other robots on the battlefield yet they won't address the elephant in the room which is tanking. As long as players can cheat the game then all the rest of the stuff they are doing absolutely means nothing. Until you fix the tanking issue all they are doing is adding fluff to a turd. I do agree making the wild west Bots available for components rather than the stupid currency they are available for currently would at least bring it in line with the rest of the robots and honestly it's not like they are so much better than anything they are releasing right now or in the future so I don't see the purpose of having them separate. I like your way of thinking though

Just think of the team of players with all shocked train robots and then they have a medic bot that can heal them. It's hard enough to not get killed off by these guys and now you're going to give them away to stay alive even longer. This is a terrible idea that is going to be used against players who can afford these Bots just like they couldn't afford these overpowered weapons and robots to begin with. I can't wait to have a whole hanger full of Rescue Bots so they can go out and I'll get killed off in some new Twisted way to tank. Pure stupidity in my opinion

Well said. You hit the nail on the head and of course everybody else can see the problem but the developers must have their heads buried in the sand or in a bottle of vodka, LOL.

So far pixonic not even waiting for you to bend over before they stick you in the back side. Some of us aren't going to spend the money on boosters and I can tell you I have over the last 20 matches I've only one too because of the stupid boosters. The game was hard enough to win because of all the cheaters and now you give an advantage to those who have a huge supply of gold which screws the rest of the player base. Sure it would be nice if the lower league or weaker players could use them against the higher league players but of course in pixonic's lack of wisdom it's actually working the other way around because I'm seeing players with three times the victories in higher leagues just walking all over my robots. I've spent good money on the game but if I have no chance and I mean zero chance of winning or say 1 out of 10 I'm going to leave this game forever and that's pixonic's fault. Don't worry guys when you get your butts kicked all the way down to silver league or bronze League vent pixonic will finally get off their ass and punish you for being a tanker even though they're the reason you're there. If the developers are reading this you people are morons. I've never seen a company screw their players like you're doing it to yours. Eventually the wallet Warriors or pay-to-win players are going to get fed up with this crap as well because when there's nobody easy to beat up on anymore they will move on and you will all lose your jobs. When that happens I'm going to be laughing because you deserve what you get. I like to play for fun and I don't mind losing but damn this is not just losing this is getting slaughtered.

Oh by the way remember when they said it was going to be easier for you to get the gear you want? Yeah you can get all the gear you want when you're losing all the time. They're even screwing you on the free stuff they give you. Remember this is digital content and it doesn't cost them anything to give it away once they developed it. They are blinded by their greed and I swear they must be drinking and using drugs when they make their decisions because I don't think they're very sound or healthy for the game if you're trying to make it last. Let's not fix the problems let's flood the game with content and screwed up so bad that a huge portion of the player base gets screwed every day yet most of these guys keep sticking with the game and you keep stepping on there nuts everyday and wondering how long before they say we've had enough.

Well said.

This rebalance was way overdue and I don't care if it's another play by pixonic to make more money or not it needed to happen. Tired of the cry babies who were able to dominate everybody else using their skillless Weapons like a bunch of pussies and all of a sudden now they don't have that extreme Advantage anymore. Life's a bitch isn't it? Learn to adapt or quit the game. I'm sure a lot of other players got tired of being crushed match after match with no hope of ever moving up in the ranks because the matchmaking was so bad and they had to face morons in the game who play 1 or 2 Bots maxed out and getting killed off too quickly. You don't keep customers or as especially new customers if they don't enjoy the experience. Too many players in this game have dominated for too long ruining the game for everybody else so like I said in my opening statement this was way overdue. Good job pixonic because you've given a lot of players a chance to compete.

I personally don't care what you do with the economy or what your reasons were for the rebalance in the game. put King of the Hill back in the game because there's no need to remove it since players can now choose the mode they want so they can all stop crying like babies about it.
