    Yup, I get this from time to time with my strongest setup on enfo (Mk6) and pretty much all the time in my Mk5 speeder... Think it may be due to the fact that all my gear is a mix of T3/4/5 rares and a single T4 epic. RNGesus has not been kind to me

    it was ok when I used t2 rare and lvl 4 legendary
    now it's bad when I use two t3 rares (tesshield and turbo, both maxed t3), three t2 epics (flare, std shield and OB) and t4 epic and lvl 6 legendary (blasts)...
    if I got any epic turbos or more flares or OBs (I have enough std shield to get t4 but I also have t2 epic big shield which could be t4, and I want to use big shield once I reach mk6 and I don't have enough resources to upgrade both of them) and enough parts, I would upgrade them
    I upgraded turbo, tesshield and blasts because they're most important for me, other items at high level would be awesome for me but they're now imho strong enough and I don't have enough resources to upgrade them

    That line is just a heads up, and has no effect on matchmaking :)

    Don't worry, that message hasn't been all that accurate after the two last big gear score changes. It has no real effect.

    I too get this message and am not clubbing. As an enforcer, I see no reason to fully level my nitro or stun (which work well enough at low level). Both of those just need leveling for cooldown or duration. I would rather use my parts for shield and weapons! It would be nice if the different items were given a varied gear score. One can dream...

    Fair enough - no matter what loadout or ship I use, I'm always matched with mk6-7s.
    Probably because my leggy blast is lvl10 and epic is maxed T4...

    Same here, I have a Tier 4 epic blast cannon and the rest of my items are mostly T4/5 rares. Whenever I had equipped that blast cannon in events, it seems to throw me into matches with ships 1MK higher and higher gear scores.
    As long as I stick with: T4/5 Rares, Tier 2/3 epic and Tier 1 legendary, then I will get fair gear score matches.

    no real effect, only meeting mk6 regularly and sometimes also mk7...
    or NM players who try to seal club with mk4 ship
    I don't know what's worse, meeting mk6 and mk7 who try to decrease their gs or meet top 50 player who is seal clubbing?

    I covered two last digits of current infamy and season top, number of battles, wins etc. because it's top 50 player

    Cool with naming and shaming, never.

    In regards to the reports, they're still looking for ways to balance the event matchmaking, and reporting in-game with the replay tag included in the text is the best way to bring it to their attention in a non-public-forum that you feel this player's gear shouldn't be considered a fair fight for yourself.

    today, one of the mods said that it's ok to seal club because there are no rules in events (and devs saod that before too)
    so I have one related question:
    would I get banned for using only lvl 1 cannon on mk5 ship in event? if yes, why?

    Nope that don't work...
    How much i remember one of the Dev already said in one thread that "it's okay for any player of any league to use any ship or any weapons in Event" Cause they are not technically cheating they are just using there different ship..
    (i really wish if i can find that thread)

    I don't really think you can do that even if you do you'll be matched against someone of your league ... cause "Your Gear Score doesn't seem right. it'll take some time to find a faire matchmaking for you"

    Exactly what I'm saying. They are ok with the seal clubbers. Don't think reporting them would make any difference

    I have been posting screenshots and reporting these people from day 1 since the events started. But today in the Chill Zone a MOD told me that there are no rules in the events.

    Look at the battle below, how many legendary stuff and epic T5 the Unfriends have plus two much bigger and stronger boats. Was not enough time just to sink one, let alone two of 15000 HP Defenders.

    Btw this was not Seal Clubbing, but bad matchmaking. Which often happens with fleeting, a problem which I have been addressing here since last December only.....

    So, does that mean that I should do the same then? Then I rather quit, than go that road. Or I play fair or not at all.

    Regards,
    Flint

    Well it made a massive difference for my matches.

    I have a MK5 speeder, and I had 20 games with that message and in every one I was the only MK5 in the match and faced all MK6 / MK7 with people at least 3000 gear score higher than me.
    At the top I would always be the 5th ship in the list (weakest).

    I then changed my load out so the message went away, and never faced another MK6 / MK7 in the next 50 or so matches, and was always the 1st in the list (strongest).

    I even was tweaking stuff in and out and every match with the message I was underpowered and every match without the message I was overpowered.

    Reporting Seal Clubbers in game does do nothing at all. I get screenshots from famliy and friends with mk1s and mk2s and they see the same Ace and Nightmare players every weekend with 4x stronger weapons tha the rest. I reported some of them personaly to someone of Rovio, no action taken.

    So, the message is clear. Seal Clubbing is allowed in events.
