AW Jumping explaination

Draco2199Draco2199 Posts: 803 ★★★
Can someone explain how this works? As this isn't violating any rules I'm interested in seeing what the alliances are doing and how it benefits an alliance. Doesn't make sense to me right now and would just like an explanation.

Thanks!

    High tier ally moves to a different ally and plays in that one until they get to high tier again. Nothing tricky or complicated to it. They sacrifice higher tier rewards for more consistent wins at lower tiers.

    But they would lose out on aq and summoner advancement rewards.

    Correct. That's the trade-off. And have to find an ally to move to that doesn't start from 0 war rating, or else it's a really bad decision. The people that do it generally don't need more class cats and were chasing 5*. Really I expect less of it because 5* value went down.

    From what I hear, these are alliances that don't NEED AQ rewards, as they have 100s of T4C crystals just sitting there.

    SA rewards are nothing compared to the amount of shards you can get winning 100% of wars for a few months.

    It's an exploit and needs stopped asap.

    Basically all the alliances who think they are god tier etc are scared to face each other.

    Really impressive that isn't it...wimps

    The alliances playing the shell game are not the god tier alliances (those alliances only have it rigged currently not to have to face each other). The alliances playing the shell game are the other top 100 war rated alliances that do not like constantly losing wars due while exploring more than 85% of maps and beating all three BG bosses. The rewards for defeat are garbage.

    I call BS it is cheating it is an unfair advantage over the honest players who go about business the right and honest way . I'm sure all the people who do it cheat all through life to get ahead the easy way . Losers!

    Whether this loophole is cheating or not, it does create a lot of AW mismatches. Kabam, I imagine, will remedy this issue soon, as they resolved a similar issue with alliances jumping for AQ tiers.

    A potential solution would be to increase the rewards for tier 1; make it so the rewards for losing in tier 1, are better than the rewards for winning in a lower tier (or at least comparable).

    Prize blackouts probably wouldn't be as effective, since it would probably have to be for too long a period, especially if VDH is right, and that they are getting 100% AW rewards for a month or more (1 week of no rewards is negligible, but you can't be too harsh on individuals who merely change alliances).

    Another potential solution would be to put t2 alpha cats as rewards in AQ. Then, the rewards for AW wouldn't outweigh the blackout period for AQ.

    I'm not worked up at all . Just making an observation. In life there are good people and then there are scumbags if your the latter. Just feel bad for them

    So people either do everything the same way that you do or they are "scumbags"? Got it, super logical and not at all insane.

    @Mainer123 were you around for allies swapping in AQ? Now THAT was a big problem as there was a set reward pool that people were double dipping from. Created real problems within the game, not like this.

    Maybe if you can't comprehend what I'm getting at there a chance you are one of the latter of the two. Just saying. It's a simple concept you either screw people over or you don't period .

    Comprehending everything in only "black and white" is very dangerous, you miss out on all the good stuff in the gray area. But it's funny that you reply once saying that's not what you said and then reply a second time saying I might be a "scumbag" too.

    Either way, I have no intention of swaying your belief. Have fun in an ally, the people you meet are the main reason to stick around in the game.

    Maybe make the shard rewards closer to 50/50 for winning/exploration than the 80/20ish that it is now? Don't know, just trying to think of a solution.

    I agree 100%. Participation rewards need to be better. No reason you should miss out on extra shards if you beat all three battlegroups and explore 80-90% of the enemy's map.
