This one in BG was responding in time, not like he left the game, but the battle results are weird.

    More like blatantly obvious lol here's to hoping Kabam actually bans people who do this too and not just the ones that forfeit cause if they don't then farming will still be a thing.

    That’s not even masked lmao

    You got what I mean, "masked" 'cause of the method announced by Kabam about players quitting the battles, but this one should fit too

    It wasn’t just about forfeits. “Deliberately losing for any benefit” is what was said. This certainly fits and hopefully Kabam will follow through.

    The system should have a way to kick you out after 1 round of whatever the other guy was doing, why make the legit player go thru 2 rounds of this non sense.

    Maybe they were just doing BGs for the “Complete 3” matches objective.

    Or maybe they had some outside distraction (wife, kids, baby, dog, work, etc) to where they had to set the phone down after they matched an opponent.

    This is going to be the excuse for every "masked farmer" out there. Hopefully for anyone abusing this will get banned. A fight or two every reset should be allowed/ won't get banned

    Well, it’s a difference if this happens once or a hundred times. Yes, real life could stop from playing, but won’t happen all the time when using Energy.

    Not the case here, I don't have print from it, but this dude wasn't taking too long to choose his defense and attack champs, so he was paying attention to his phone.

    Why would you call someone out like this? How does it hurt you?

    It hurts me because why should I have to grind hard to get my rewards in gc when you can lose on purpose and stay in platinum stomping on cav players to get the same rewards for far less effort. I have morals thats why.

    Also, it’s not fair for those cav players he’s stomping

    It artificially drives up solo event scores, decreasing the rank for those that play fairly.

    I know there are still a lot of people that are farming. I come across a few this season. Just want to say though that not everyone like this might be farming. Sometimes things come up while you’re playing. Just for example I picked my team the other day and right as we went to add rd1 defenders my 1 year old started screaming. So I put my phone down and went to him. The match finished before I was able to get back. Just saying sometimes real life stuff comes up that could be viewed by your opponent as “farming”. If they are actively picking attackers and defenders then this happens, that is a different story.

    I just faced a guy in GC that had a deck full of 3* it's an officer from a plat ally with a pretty big account. I don't really know if he's trying to set up easy wins for people or if he's just playing around. Could be innocent or could be a new farming technique. Just thought it was interesting. I do think there's more pressing issues then farming.

    Masked would be when they choose bad attackers on certain defenders. Which I've also seen plenty of but can be passed off as lack of game knowledge.
