When SGA was building up there also wasn’t the new and insanely important end game rewards that is now AW Seasons which is what ultimately pushed us to this decision....
So with the advent of season your an drive to build your own alliance go out the window. Seen more back bone on a jelly fish
No one is harmed? What are you talking about? With all do respect do you really realize the content of your statement?
The fact that it does not affect me does not mean it is right to jump alliances of bunches of 30 just for better AW rating. AGAIN this is not as just one person joining another alliance.
Kabam you reset the AW rating for inactive alliance so this exploit does not happen anymore. We need the Alliance blackout to cover AW also. I am a veteran in this game and the same AQ alliance jumping problem for prestige is happening now with Alliance wars and AW rating. A huge percent of the top 200 alliances have shell alliances with second accounts that they use to drop tiers then switch alliance and win for weeks straight.
How does this affect the game?
People in lower tiers are fighting super strong dudes that are in a alliance with lower tier creating an unfair advantage.
Also, now we can see the true color of this people that do this morally incorrect practice.
Instead of having the party at his place, they moved it to a place with a better view. Everyone in the alliance has payed their dues, it's not like 30 noobs bought 30 accounts and a shell alliance.
They’re not gonna be jumping back constantly into two alliances to maintain their standing. Its simply moving into a better alliance as you move from e.g. tier 8 to 1. Besides with high prestige it’s difficult to find matchups that match up their prestige as alliances in the lower tiers have 2x less than them
Are you completely high? What are you even talking about? You really think that leaving an alliance with a low war rating and joining one with a higher rating is cheating?
Yes it is a form of exploit just like AQ was before. No i am not high. The fact that you suggest such inflammatory accusations about me using drugs portraits how respectfull and smart you are.
Blackout for AW is needed.
The rules say alliances will be placed based on the war points they’ve earned.
Kabam needs to quickly establish guidelines to ensure that Alliances are being placed based on war points earned by members of the alliance.
1. alliances should not keep their war points if they become inactive.
2. Their has to be a requisite number of alliance members that show continuation from week to week.
These alliance are pushing other alliances down in ranking by using war points that they didn’t earn.
With the rewards now being offered, unless Kabam deals with this now, Alliance Selling and hopping will cheat a lot of alliances out of Rewards they would have earned.
Alliances shouldn’t be allowed to jump over other alliances just because they have a higher prestige. Isn’t that one of the reasons that Defender Rating was removed from the scoring system in AW.
Agree 100 percent. How obtaining something you have not earned it is not an exploit.
Inactivity = war rating reducing automatically prorated on inactivity time until it reaches 0.
Alliance War blackout just like AQ. Extremely Overdue. Come on kabam!!!!!
It’s not cheating, but it’s exploiting the rules to gain an unfair advantage.
There is a difference between 10 players movinf from one alliance to another, and 30 players moving to an alliance that has been inactive and claiming war points that the members didn’t earn.
Kabam needs to set the minimum number of players that are needed to maintain the War Ranking. I would say 8-10.
Just like jumping alliances in AQ was not, right? This is why black out was established.
You must do 5 matches to get rewards. In aq you must be in the alliance 5 days. These are very different things and unrelated. Also, the aw penalty of 5 wars is harsher now than the aq blackout.
If you join a higher tier aw alliance and lose 5 match straight you wont get good rewards. If you join a top aw alliance and win 5 and get good rewards then good on you.
What Im getting at is you cant just jump into a better aw alli and expect to get good rewards you still have to earn them.
Kabam has already laid out the rules for the new aw season system.
@CapWW2
You cant even refute your own arguement. The only thing you keep repeating is exploit. EVERYONE has said this isnt an exploit. The alliance was tier 4 regardless if they moved or not. Due to their alliance PI, they cant get matches. They made a smart choice to move to an alliance with a war rating they can get matches in. ITS 100% legal to do so. They arent jumping from ally to ally like youve stated. They arent gaining ANYTHING FROM THIS. You arent losing anything from this. Get over it. Stop being so damn butthurt and move on. You have yet to bring ANYTHING of substance in the form of rebuttle to back up your stance. Go back to your corner and stay there.
If they are not gaining anything from this why do it? Lmao
Additionally I cannot go back to my corner because you have been sleeping in it since yesterday. So if you find your own corner i can freely will be able to get to mine.
They aren't gaining an unfair advantage. You can leave an join any alliance you want but you have to do 5 wars to get rewards.
OP doesnt have any real reasons. He will just repeat what he originally posted as his excuse.
That's the point though isn't it.. They should have to work their way up and working their way up takes time..
What's wrong with sharing your account..
What's wrong with selling your account..
What's wrong with giving your account away..
What's wrong with someone else doing hard content for you..
All them things are a banable offence for what reason? You didn't do the work yourself to get where you are... one player moving.. two players.. 3 4 5 6 7 8 9... but 30 players moving into an alliance that will earn much better rewards with points they didn't do the work for..
What's the difference..
The alliance rating is a factor of the combined members.
Amazing idea.
Kabam allows players to leave one alliance and go to another. The intended use was not to enable an Ally to move another ally in order to gain a competitive advantage. When alliances made similar moves for AQ rewards, Kabam was forced to impose reward Blackouts to players who switched alliances. All players were punished for the exploits of a few.
To me this seems like a greater exploit than the AQ ally swapping. There is no justification for claiming a war rating that nobody in your alliance earned.
Each time an alliance uses this exploit, they will be moving ahead of other alliances without fighting for it.
I am in an alliance that started this season at 0 points and fought our way upto T3-T4.
So why should another alliance be able to move over us without having to accumulate the war points themselves? You can’t blame Kabam’s war matching system if your War Rating isn’t on par with your Prestige.
This exploit hurts alliances that have been active in war, and allows high prestige players to claim a war rating they did nothing to earn. There is no way for Kabam to determine if players are buying alliances for their war points. If this isn’t stopped, this exploit will grow.
Are you high? You're arguing that Omni is somehow exploiting the game by jumping to an idle alliance with a higher than zero rating, and your solution to that is to allow them to keep the alliance rating they had when they left their previous alliances which is almost certainly far higher than that?
