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

[Marc Symons]

This is hardly a competitive football management sim. Its a pay to win facebook game. Who cares about tanking? If you can buy 500 tokens a season vs someone with 35 how is tanking the biggest problem. Players are just gutted they cant just buy their way to winning everything against people exploiting the system.

If the game wasnt pay to win then tanking would be a problem. This game isnt about fair play so exploiting is fine to combat the pay to win crowd.

I agree with what you say and what you say makes a lot of sense but for me the whole 'Tanking' issue has nothing to do with how tankers dominate after boosting and how unfair it is. Its about the lack of competition. The game is very uncompetitive with all the inactive users as it is without takers adding to the problem, Would people play FIFA online if the other player simply put there controller down at the beginning of every match ... No.

That's a different game that doesn't involve tanking.

Another reason why tanking happens in this game is because this is a football manager game where you don't get sacked. Not only you are the manager in this game, you are also the chairman.

I never said it did? - The point i was making was about the lack of competitiveness. It was a comparison.

you cant compare apples and oranges. and that is what you just did which july forth pointed out. this game is rife with a lack of competitiveness but in order to make ti truly competitive you have to make it more fair and as long as there are token buyers, you will have a lack of competitiveness. tanking just brings more competitiveness into the game, but every second year instead of every year. when will you open your eyes to this.

Hahahahahaha

wow man, you are one deluded person who cant even understand something so simple. you highlighted something to make a point but your making yourself look ignorant and foolish. tanking makes your team more competitive the next season. wow. you really need some help to open your eyes to this.

I give up! - Good debate but i think the conclusion is: Tankers will tank, Token buyers will buy tokens, and the rest of us will just have to get by. Finally for the record i do understand why people tank, I simply don't like it Merry Christmas to all!
