The board 1 repeat farming Loophole

One thing that bothers me with the farming guilds are their names : bluelotus u mad?, am suks, am suxx, semen hunters, renegays, etc etc.

These are clearly against the in game guidelines of not making personal fun of other players or guilds. The farming wagons themselves are
bad enough, do they even have to offend other guilds and players while doing the exploit? Please some moderation, otherwise the bay will fast
become a full time bullying yard.

Hope this will be addressed by the in game community moderation, as well as the loophole exploit.

 

Releasing a statement like that would require actual action and backing of the developers. Thats why I mentioned the resources and time devoted to policing their new "law" or "rule" on this exploit. It's easier said than actually done.

 

I think the devs don't respond because they haven't got time for it. I think they are all working their asses off in order to fix this loophole. (I'm not even trolling, I really think that's the case)

 

One very easy fix that could be done quickly is to recalibrate the board tokens. The further you progress, the more fruitful the tokens become. Right now it's the exact opposite, the easiest board gives the best token output for the effort.

Readjusting a fix so people wouldn't use the exploit because Board 1 becomes the lowest token output for the time/effort. Make investing time in finish a harder board worthwhile.

 

That’s my opinion on this matter. Some people thought the Devs gave up on Battle Bay after the 2.4 update. This situation seems identical, since the Devs are working hard on a fix, but they don’t communicate about it until something is 100%.

 

I think the funny names is a small Fry issue.

Bullying has never really gotten worst or better whatever. p2W players have always poked and jabbed at players that are F2p and vice-versa (full spending entire fortunes, or calling f2p weak).

 

This thread has been up since yesterday, its got 5 pages and not a single reply from any Dev or Moderator. They have been tagged and I have seen some of them online and post in other threads. I think its clear that they do not want to tackle this issue. My guess is there wont be any penalties. If there are, it wouldnt be as severe as we all hope for it to be.

 

Or just limit the times you can gain tokens to once pr reset period. Easy fix to stop exploiters and make guildhopping pointless.

That only leaves the need to roll unfair gains back or toss out bans to cheating exploiters.
I get the 'fear of missing out' that is spreading rapidly, but it does not make it ok to abuse an exploit. Its absolutety pathetic if the cheaters are rewarded and get to keep the unfair advantage over everyone else.

 

To be fair I get why they dont post before having had the chance to discuss options together during work hours.

The guildquests should have been turned of as soon as the Asian guild (whose name shall not be spoken) showed is how far people are willing to go to piss on everyone else.

 

Haven't you realized that D3X is also a guild hopper, and all his suggestions are about how to improve the future guild event without mentioning anything about punishing the current cheaters, like himself. To conclude, D3X's word only represents himself as a cheater, why should we listen to him. By the way, bittersteel is also guild hopping. For example, how could he get 200k guild tokens in the first season? There is actually another post in the forum showing that both of them are in a new guild farming tokens.

 

Sure. But I'm not here to scream cheater at individuals. And if I start doing that I give the devs an excuse for censoring out the thread.
I get why people join in, the rewards gained are insane. Years worth of epic perks in a week. I'm frustrated too watching others gaining this unfair advantage.

I do think that its important to speak up against it and make sure devs take it serious enough to show the cheaters that they dont prosper. Let people gain stuff earned from exploiting a clear unintended flaw and your game's integrity is gone. Any cheat goes if this absurdity is not dealt with.

 

5 boards and first place give you 24*5+42=162 thousand tokens. 38 thousands can be easilly gained by contributing in quests.

 

See my proof of their guild hopping.

 

@Kitterini
Just playing devil's advocate here, but why is this a moral issue? How does guild-hopping ruin the game for other people? I assume this is about more than just Rovio's wallet.

Before anyone rolls out the accusations, I'm not a hopper myself. I created my guild before the update and I've been trying hard to recruit people and get it up and running. I haven't moved an inch.

 

Yeah, easy fix: You only receive tokens for the first 12 quests per board lvl, and only tokens once for finishing a given board level (per reset).

That way you can change guilds, you can even help out others - but you will not receive any reward if you’ve already claimed 12 lvl 1 quests.

 

I didn't say that Bittersteel is not a guildhopper)

 

I applaud the righteousness of certain individuals, upholding their ethic code. I do not disagree with that, I was in your position earlier until I caved.

Given my experience I've seen in other games of similar situations, the fix will only apply through the game and the accounts will likely stay as is. Especially when money and time was involved in all these accounts, it's a mess to start mettling in this side of the business and a lot of resources and time needed to correct in a fair and just fashion.

 

To be fair. He was hopping to our other factions; we have multiple guilds to help with their quests. That's not illegal nor should be frowned upon.

 

Then how do you know his 200k in the video was not coming from exploiting guild hopping? Besides, 38k additional token from contributing in quests seems hard to me (the total award from each board is just 12k, 5 board adds up to 60k. Seem impossible to me that a single member contributes to more than half.)
