Season rankings went kaboom

So. Atleast 3 alliances just had their warrating increased by atleast 500 points. They also got points added to their season score.
Wtf is going on?

An alliances that has been docked twice this season for piloting...and is known by everyone to use mods...suddenly gets a huge war rating increase and is now ranked #4? Just because they changed their alliance name doesn't mean they aren't notorious cheaters who have been penalized on more than one occasion, but suddenly that's all forgiven?

All messed up. They added a ton of points to some alliance and not just in season but to AW rating.

My guess is they were supposed to be subtracted.

Check that. They added points to one alliance in particular. What about our points for the loss due to an alliance using mods. So inconsistent.

Don't worry guys. We're on this. Any ratings or scores will rightly reflect actions that are taken against Alliances that did not play legitimately.

I repeat: This is not the correct ranking right now.

I think it would hurt the teams if their war rating is higher than it is supposed to be. I would not want a 500 point increase in war rating and get matched with an alliance that has a war rating of 500 points higher than me

@Kabam Miike u guys need to CHECK the legitimately of all these allainces. there is no way an alaince suddenly get hundreds of war rating and it effects war search, some allainces already found wars.

The current war rating's are definitely going to make matchmaking interesting for sure.

@Kabam Miike we just faced one of these alliances and lost due to their failure to play legitimately. Can you please explain why you are not taking restorative action for those allainces affected by this type of cheating. Our season ranking and total rewards are affected when we lose to an alliance that is cheating. By not providing us with the score bonus and additional rewards for the win we should have had, we are effectively being penalized for someone else’s cheating.

Current top 4 aw alliances are in same chat room manipulating aw search and matching. They still do pilot to certain extent. Their leaders admitted doing so on multiple occasions in several chats. I hope i wont see them at top soon. Top season1 ranked alliances did not lose their rewards despite their confirmed cheating. Only lost some rating which only helped them match easier while still being in tier1 aw. Make it right this time.

AW suppose to be a competition of skill. But these guys keep look for loopholes to disrespect kabam’s intentions and our competitive environment.

I am also hearing people selling the placement of other alliances. This is worse than the double triple duplicated defenders issue we had in the past.

I also see people abusing name change making majority of its alliance members with same name mixing the letters i L I l for instance.

Such practices are really disturbing.

Thats why we should make season like footbal champions league
Group stages twice and playoffs

And also transfer window and transfer block times

Or they could make it like the World Cup ... make AW a tournament that occurs once every 4 years. Not sure it'd be very sustainable though.

Thanks Miike, this is what transparency looks like

Quite a bold statement @Myhappyday where is the proof? Or are you spreading slander? You complain about their names, I bet they got them from the same place I got mine and you got yours... give yourself a bit of time to think of the answer........ still struggling ok I will help, KABAM !! That’s right kabam gives everyone their names yet you complain.

The War Opponent Calculator is still a thing too. Don't think anyone expected AW Season 2 to fix all of Season 1's problems, the improvement this season has been substantial. Maybe for AW Season 3 Kabam will add some kind of automatic or semi-automatic matchmaking system to prevent alliances from manipulating the matchmaking process.

@Edge234
Kabam Mike feel free to PM me. I got loads screenshots. Even have screens i got within their aw matching group and leaders discussing ways to pilot without getting caught.

And their tactics arent even a secret lol. If u in those acc and merc chats, u can see them talking about it although not in detail.

what names? you talking to the guy below me?

qop

@Edge234
R u one of them?
Yeah, kabam “allowed” the name change abuse. Changing names is not the issue here. Clearly looking at profiles and guessing and predicting defense placement is part of the fun and strategy of alliance wars. But, changing names with mixture of same looking different letters or symbols is just abusing a loophole of the purpose for allowing players to change their names (for purposeful more legitimate reasons).

Edge234

What legitimate reasons? Ppl bought a new account and. Want to change the name? That is against TOS. If I was one of them my name would be iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii or whatever

Sn1pes130

In addition to penalizing teams for piloting I’d like to see Kabam compensate teams that faced those alliances by adding the win bonus back into their score and take it Away from the alliance caught cheating. If you’re piloting you’re cheating, that should count as an automatic loss

Thats true. But u r trying to twist and disuade my point funny guy. Are u trying to be hypocrite and say changing names to iiiiiiiii or llllllllll is fine but mention other abusive namechange practices like those tat sell accounts and change acc names? U r not helping urself.

Of course there are legit people who simply want to change their name of choice to something else due to change of preference.
