is tanking=cheating?

[khris]

Haha paying to win is better than tanking or manipulating to win. Nordeus's gotta love this idea. Btw, actually sometimes more friends support you during a match may backfire and cause you losing the game.

Sure they think this...., and for a simple reason that some players don't wanna see... and is that they did this fantastic game to win money, so, that's why I say that I am a "consumer", and will be good idea to have a little discount if we are usuall token buyers, "a good boss" usually, do that, if have a big corporation... is a detail with the loyal consumers....
because corporations or.... Justin Bieber don't live of the air, they need money, and some people wants all free. that's an error...

a second and final thing to say, is that what players decide to do here, depends only of one thing; and is if they have "patience".
If they don't have, they wanna win "all" now, and they buy tokens.
if they have patience, they tank, train, and no problem... ...are forms to see the life LOL
are forms to be a good manager, that can be used in the real life, because with patience some people reach more than others...

In just think it's kinda unfair to the players who get put into the league with someone who tanked last season and now has a head start on everyone else, cuz now they have less of a chance to win the league... But I suppose its not that much different than being put into a league with token buyers. I'll still never like the idea of losing on purpose.. Doing that gets you kicked out of the Olympics (badminton 2012)

I think it is normal to buy tokens, in football, thing is the best the purchase normal

In real life if you throw a match in any sport its cheating. So yes its cheating. Its a virus within the game and ruins the game. Who wants to play against someone that throws every game? where's the fun/competition in that?. Anyone who defends tanking is a tanker and is no better than an unmanned team. Tankers add to the ever growing crapness that curses T11.

Exactly. Do everything you can to win. So actually try to win with good managing skills, not giving up and throwing all your games so you can roll over everyone in the next season.

No way is it 'Cheating'. I have tanked only once till date. That was becoz I got kicked out of Cup in first round, out of CL in Group Stage, and had lost 6 matches out of 6 in league. In total, I had lost 12 matches in a row, to weaker teams with rubbish tactics, even illegal formations. I saw that this will continue, and so I decided to a tank. What would have been the use to promote without CL??????? And it was becoz I tanked and made a strong team that I was able to compete against 4 Token buyers last season and promote with CL.
AND U DON'T NECESSARILY TANK TO GET AN EASIER CUP DRAW!!!!!

If that is the case, then why do people buy Tokens??? To roll over other teams, right???? There is no other reason I can see???? Tanking is another way to do this.
Even token buyers should then be told to win with managing skills not better teams..........

The purpose of this game is to make you spend money.
Some buy tokens and are happy, others do not buy them, After a few levels there are only 2 options, you give up or start to Tank a season once in a while just to keep the Team competitive.
I already wrought this, but tanking does not mean nothing, i tanked one of my teams 2 seasons ago, because After 13 games i was 5th and no real chances of getting to top 4, last season i was eliminated in first round of cup, this season i am in a cup 2 levels above.
Last season i was second, and only manage to secure the spot in the last games, this season i am in a very tought league and current in 7th place, still playing to reach a better position. In CL this season still only have 3 points After 3 games.
Can anyone explain me where was i beneficiate?
Yes would be better Buying 1000T 2 seasons ago, and i would have won the last 2 seasons and would be in first place this season, i would have more fun.

"Do everything what you can do to win" - Is not cheating

Most ridiculous statement ever! - So if you are a runner and you take performance enhancing drugs is this not cheating? as you are doing everything you can to win? - Or maybe is you are a footballer is diving not cheating? because you are doing everything you can to win? I could go on and on with examples. Seriously silly statement.
