So, now everybody can make his own idea on how some guilds arrange scores in bracket1.
In other sports, when such a thing happens, the involved teams get demoted or disbanded.
Unfortunately, I’m conscious that at the moment we are talking about a practice that devs stated is not illegal, but for how I and my guild play, it’s for sure something out of a fair playing.
We do not have a reply at this time. This thread is also going up at the end of our working day. If this thread gets too heated and violates guidelines once more time it will be closed.
We will only move on this issue if it is seen to significantly alter the results of GWs.
Community wants something challenging, devs give them GW to challenge each other, the only option in the game to do so. And then there are always who search for profit … makes me sad. Most players in those guilds probably dont even need all those rewards, as opposed to those who do it honestly and have to go to lower brackets due to that behavior. Human nature I guess
If support or myself has been contacted then you have already taken the best course of action. Posting it publicly is unacceptable, especially because you didn’t censor any of the information in your initial post. It also won’t make us move any faster, as we are already in the process of investigating this again.
In another discussion (PM me for details if desired), the two accused guilds appear to have gone 130-2 or better during the day they faced each other. That is substantially better than the average W-L rate in bracket 1. The margin between finishers during last week’s GW varies from 2,000 to 25,000 based on a quick estimate. That’s certainly close enough to have been affected by 130-2 vs 100-30.
I agree with @Tacet and all that this is unacceptable. We also need to give time to the developers to really come up with a good and reasonable fix that is fair, and punitive if proved correct. I have faith that the devs have the welfare of the game at heart.
