Can't stand 'Tankers' - its cheating and should be discouraged

[QuocBao]

Everyone will think I'm a tanker this season because of my full 6,7 star players. I finished last season at 8th position because all strongest teams were on my league. they had 8,9 star players

imagine you've had finished at 7th place

there is another reason for tanking and that is if you are top of your server and getting no 5 star player`s in the market then why not get a couple of level`s above you so when you get promoted there should more 5 star player`s i know there are at least 4 levels above me now so when promoted i should not have problem with 5 star player`s on the transfer list

But why would you *need* 5 star players if you're at the top of your server? Everyone else is in the same position then, so the quality is all relative.

someone yesterday was showing off a team they'd been tanking for two months, then on another thread boasting how well their team had done this season.

So tanking means opening lots of different accounts, playing with the best one and letting the others rot until they have some skill points to add? very nice, but I wouldn't like to be boasting about being a tanker.

Tanking makes a mockery of leagues on here.

People should play to win, not play to lose.

People should brag about trying to win, not trying to lose.

I got one team and they will always try and win, so I love tankers means I got more chance of winning.

We interupt this thread, for a moment
If anyone knows the name/s of the biggest soccer team/ s with the limited..est budget ( insert correct word here), then plse let me know..

My guess would be

Blackburn rovers,,, when they won the league.

[TypTex]

Interesting question.
Jack Walker had sunk a huge amount of his own fortune into Blackburn when they won the league, and my guess would be that Man U were operating with a smaller playing budget than Blackburn in the two seasons before that.
Leeds just before that couldn't have had much real money either, and winning the title had huge future consequences for them.

Thanks TypTex...Leeds did have a season ...once. Cold one one me.

It ain't gonna happen often, but when it does, burn the the barn, cause its Halloween, guy Fawkes and diwali rolled into one.

So i hear of this 'Tanking' rubbish - I really do not see the point in purposely losing for a couple of seasons in order to be able to dominate for a couple of seasons? It is like playing FIFA on amateur for life! where's the fun in that. I love nothing more than looking at my opening cup fixture and seeing that i have a team levels above me. I like to scope out the opposition, change my team and tactics accordingly and then decide if i need reinforcements for the game (A new signing) - If you 'tank' you cheat. Someone once said to me "how is it cheating? if it was cheating Nordeus would ban it" Every game has cheats from 'GTA' all the way back to Master system's 'Sonic'. But these cheats add fun to the game for some and i can see why that works. How can anyone sit there and boast about banking training points in order to be seeded against weaker opposition, only to then add the points and demolish there opposition? Is that fair on their opponents? No! cheated out of the cup by a 'Wan .. I mean Tanker' in the very first round. Anyone who can argue in favour of tanking has no understanding of playing a game fairly, and to my amazement I even see forum 'Mods' backing the system. It should be discouraged to all newbies as anyone doing it is nothing more than a virus. The game has enough flaws as it is without added nonsense.

The End.

Do you buy tokens?
Do you think buying tokens is cheating?

[Tayonas]

How can it be cheatinging. All it is is a slower process of building a foundation to achieve a goal.
I'm not sure if it similar to the turtle and the hare story. Slow and steady. What's the rush..is Nordeus going somewhere?

Usually though in games you can rush the turtle though and kill them off before they get their economy running, doesn't work like that in this game.

But why would you *need* 5 star players if you're at the top of your server? Everyone else is in the same position then, so the quality is all relative.

Becoz token buyers will buy 6* scout and u won't be able to buy even 5* to be even some competition to them.........
