Sandbaggers are the realm challenge MVP's

I'm in no way encouraging this behaviour, but after I had a couple of people with superior accounts quit a matchup with me in BG's at the ban screen, it dawned on me that, if you quit, your opponent, and the realm, gets a win and completion points with less than a minute spent...

In short, and hypothetically, I have concluded the fastest way for us to gain points in the realm challenge is for us to play and immediately quit BG's 🧐😂

    You also lose the points for them completing the match...

    What happens if both players get KOed and do no damage to the defender? How do ties get handled for the realm points?

    Good question but it would be a tie.. no winning match points just completion 🤣

    Presumably in a tie neither player gets ‘Match won’ points, so someone needs to at least do a point of damage on offense to maximize Realm Event points…

    I don't know how many points it is for the losing party to complete the match, but if for example you get 30 points for finishing and losing a match that lasts 7 minutes, you could theoretically join and quit 3-4 matches in the same timeframe, so you're effectively gifting a few hundred points at the expense of completion points for one game, if that makes sense?

    We could use a super not so secret emote spam to tell the other person "Hey I am trying to lose" lol

    So everyone needs to commit to the plan:

    Whoever drafts first does one hit then gets KOed as fast as possible. Whoever drafts second does 0 damage and gets KOed as fast as possible. And we all win faster. And there are no solo objectives so if we all do this 200ish times we’re golden.

    I just love it. 🥰

    When Road to the Crypt was announced, the community come together, push through the content, go the extra miles to contribute, because the idea and rewards the Road to the Crypt was good.

    Now with BG Realm, the community come together still but this time to overcome the "for now" consider as a poorly excused concept. Finding outside of the box way to achieve the milestone 😁👍.

    If we go this far about about we as the community come up with 2 emoji signals, one for "I'm using Elder Mark" and one for "I'm energy", and whoever uses Elder Mark get the win, if both use Elder Mark or both use energy, then it is a fight to the death (or maybe best out of 3 🤣).

    Whatever we do best to keep it on the hush hush side, don't let Kabam know about it, best not to discuss it ingame, just on the forum will do 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    I tried this out with energy and didn’t noticed my points go up, I think you need to actually complete the match and not just forfeit

    Hi @BanannaPanda ,

    Yes, there is no point for you or the Realm on Forfeit fights.

    The match have to complete for you and the Realm to got point.

    But what about the points you are giving your opponent? They count towards the realm score. I feel like this is going over people's heads 😂

    As simply as I can make the theory on this - you don't get points for completion if you quit, but your opponent does.

    As a result of the matches ending faster, you generate more matches per hour, and more points per hour for the realm event by quitting matches than you do by actually completing them. You don't gain any personal points for doing this.

    It's also definitely worth noting Kabam have said they're monitoring people for this behaviour so, where it's not the best idea, it's still an idea 😂

    Lets keep in mind everyone that aside from perfect ties, every match ends in exactly the same way: there's one winner and one loser. Whoever wins, whoever loses, we score exactly the same amount of realm points either way.

    You cannot help the event by winning. Winning just changes which one of you contributes more points than the other. But you and your opponent always combine for the same amount of points.

    You help the event by playing. The more matches you play, win or lose, the more points we score.

    Yep my thoughts exactly. I'm a new paragon and usually going against a valiant forces a forfeit from me. however with this new realm event I am just playing the matches to the best of my ability, which is usually just 5% of the opponents health, and am getting points for the realm event anyway.

    It's only a win in the case where the player winning is using marks. If it's energy, it's not significant.

    I kinda agree. But we can't stop farming can we.
    The vast majority of the players dont even open forums or they are in discord or follow any ytubers. They will keep doing what they do.
    Let em farm and give marks wins to the weak.

    Forfeiting with energy against someone who is using marks:
    +40 and -2 points
    Winning with energy against someone who is using marks:
    -40 and +4 points.
    (I don't know the exact numbers)

    Im gonna be honest I am not farming, I just queue and burn energy when I got nothing to do and can't play 🤷. I am not doing it to stay in a tier though...
    You are right. We can't stop it cause people will do whatever they want and there is a lot of people not in coms.
  • SirGamesBondSirGamesBond Member Posts: 5,135 ★★★★★
    I'm using marks and stopping after doing the objectives. Maybe I'll do more later.
    3 refills expired yesterday which I usually throw on somthing easy autoplaying. Not using energy in BGs atm.

    I haven't crossed to GC, I am speculating on my EM spending atm

    I saved marks last season.
    I'm at 8k+ and have not claimed the ones from the event, those +400. so I have to use marks in VT.
    I cant play much, I'm sure I'll hit the numbers anyway. But I'm not doing anything special what I haven't done before.
