The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!

banned for Losing on purpose in BGs

Can losing a battlegrounds match on purpose get you banned?
Immediately forfeiting or just letting the defending champ K.O. your attackers.

Does any one have a screenshot of an official statement made by kabam on the matter?

I keep getting people saying yes and others saying no but no one giving any proof.
And about a third of the matches I play In BGs is just people immediately forfeiting

    Kabam Miike said that walking away from your phone and letting people win, while not in the spirit of the game, is not bannable.

    Crashed, when they redid the token system +2/-1 would make farming much more difficult (and then something along the lines of they are not worried about it now).

    I can try to find the screenshots if that would ease your mind also.

    If you don't mind.
    Don't waste too much time on it.
    I tried finding it myself but couldn't find anything about it, just about sandbagging in BattleGrounds.
    Mainly want a screen shot to actually know which is right and to present to other people.

    "Having said that, out position hasn't changed. We have monitoring in place and the most egregious users are often punished. We intend to be stricter in our enforcement next season, when the Global Event will make farming more tempting."

    Doesn't this post kind of insinuate that it is bannable or at least punishable?

    Abusing anything in the game can result in bans. At this point, there is nothing to indicate that they are investing time toward worrying about that. They didn't do a thing about point farmers during the BG realm event and that was the worst it's ever been by a wide margin, so they're unlikely to do anything about it now.

    Thanks. I tried searching for about five minutes and gave up. What's your secret?

    “farming”, author “crashed”

    So, probably depends on How, Why, and When you are losing BG matches.

    If at the brink of G.C., and wanting to avoid jumping into G.C., where getting Solo/Ally Event points may be more difficult.

    If you always seem to be using Elder Marks when you are trying to win.

    And then using Energy when obviously losing to drop you from that threshold.

    Over and over.

    Probably would be on their radar.

    ——
    But continuing to lose quickly so you can squeeze in more matches, even on Elder Marks (to get higher points, even with a loss), even when you are at ZERO MEDALS toward advancement.
    Shouldn’t be a problem.
    Especially if still quite a ways away from G.C.

    Only real reason why I would do this is because last season I got stuck in a division where I was going up against players with rosters mostly made up of R3 7* champs and a majority of my roster was 5* champs that werent maxed out.

    For some reason you don't get demoted to a lower division when you lose without any victory medals unlike how most other competitive games do it.

    So I was basically just backed up in a corner getting beaten up over and over.

    The time they tried to police BG behaviour about a year ago, it pretty much failed and they gave up on it for the most part.

    Well, this happens a lot.

    Valiants and Paragons trying to be at Diamond with TB and lower levels

    This is not a honest gaming play

    Kabam may look for this and the pause button
