Why piloting isn't really the issue

Piloting was not the issue piloting was a side effect. Here was the real issue:
1. Rewards brackets were too narrow in AW
2. Differences between each bracket in terms of what you get were too big in AW.
3. AQ rewards are just terrible and further the cost of doing map 6 is just too high. The only revamp you've done was to add Void so that there would be fewer blades to use in AW potentially. Yes, it's that transparent.
Piloting was caused due to scarcity. The problem you've now created that concerns me is skilled and unskilled players that spent a lot are quitting as alliances blow up due to problems in AW. If AQ rewards were attractive for the unskilled spenders they might stay. If the rewards were not as scarce with less of drop off that would help. You worry about revenue for your bottom line. I wonder whether the game will continue when you continue to misfire so often and I skilled and unskilled players that spend retire en masse.
I think we may have seen a nose cut off to spite the face. Piloting shouldn't have been the norm. Piloting was not the real problem IMO. I don't even believe it was fairness that was addressed. I think the lack of potions being spent by skilled pilots was, though I could be wrong.
Are you going to address AQ cost and rewards(grinding sucks and drives people out of the game), and the disparity in AW rewards before it's too late is my question.

No kabam didn't put a gun to anyone's head and force them to cheat sure these problems pointed out exist but there is no excuse for cheating none the less thats like u getting fired from your job just so the boss can make room for new employees then to make money u Rob a bank did ur boss contribute to you robbing the bank maybe but the decision to rob the bank was 100% your choice therefore you take 100% of the consequences same with the game these problems may have encouraged you to pilot or cheat but the decision is 100% yours
Alliances were piloting long before AW Seasons in both AW and AQ, though. There was much more public outcry about it during season 1 from the honest Alliances because the stakes were raised. The fact that well known players outed themselves and their Alliance for piloting only fanned the flames.
People have to realize that AW Tiers 1-7 only contain the top 9% of Alliances. The people calling it quits are a fraction of the smallest segment of the player base. There was zero motivation for the other 91% to spend to climb the ladder just to lose to cheaters repeatedly. If you're an honest player, and you hear that all the top Alliances are cheating, there's not much impetus to spend money to make it to a stage in the game where you have to cheat to be competitive.
Who wants to bet you’re in a gold alliance?
Yeah it’s like you don’t get anything but write anyway. I’ve literallly gotten 100 responses on LINE agreeing. The revenue drop will verify.
Quit frankly I’m likely better than you at every aspect of the game. I also spend more and care more. Your analogies are terrible and not related.
Wow 100 really, you must definitely be correct then lmao
First thing kabam will continue to make plenty of money no matter what people like you say about it. It may have a slight impact for a week or 2 til kabam roll out more offers of t2a or even t5b an every wallet will be out begging kabam to take the cash.
Second It's great that kabam are dropping the war rating for ally's that pilot. It's also even better seeing these scrubs who can't handle their own accounts get booted or implode alliances.
Piloting was around before seasons an even more than that was alliances jumping from shell to shell for better rewards. No matter what people and alliances will always try an game the system for better rewards. Personal I think these pilots should of got a month's ban at least on top of lower war rating an season points
What's puzzling is you're trying to take jabs at my Profile and simultaneously justify cheating with the Rewards.
What I don’t get is why the first post is flagged. Although a certain fedora wearing prolific poster seems to flag everything.
Always odd to me that guys who don’t spend and aren’t competitive post so much.
You all enjoy.
Yup I now can confirm you pilot otherwise you wouldn't be trying to defend it cheaters like you need to be banned and also shut your little ego down my I'm not the one defending cheating u r so 99% of people agree with me and also there is no way you could know if u r better at the game than me
Being in a gold alliance is better than being a cheating pilot which u obviously are because if you weren't you wouldn't be a try hard at defending it also if I don't know what I am talking about so badly why do I have more agrees than u
Punishment is, the good have to suffer for the bad.
A better approach for kabam is to punish the player directly who is piloting, and not the whole Alliance because we don't know if the other members are aware of a member who is piloting.
"Everyone got the same warning mail about piloting so if there's someone in an alliance piloting, why would the Alliance actually keep that member with them yo hurt the whole alliance"?
Find the players who are piloting and punish them directly.
