is tanking=cheating?

[khris]

Haha nothing, it's just for your candid comment about "cheating." =))

hahahaaha ok, well... at the end we talk all the time about the same in this forum,.... if you pay, you are a problem. if you tank, you are a bad person. if you have 7 accounts, that's cheating... and if you have 15 bulgarian guy's supporting you in every match, you are the leader of the mafia...

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.

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.

Is it tanking if you let your players be but they're just really that bad? I've done it before but I don't use illegal formations or use bench warmers. I did it last season but I'm 3rd right now.

[Dman2pt]

Being out of CL whend you do not buy tokens it is the worst thing that can happen.
League prices are not very high, mostly to help pay wages.
CUP you Never know what can happen, also the prize money are only good After the first 3 stage.
CL at least you have 6 games to earn good money.

I already stayed out of CL spots, and the season After is always very dificult, because the money is a problem.

I can't say that I don't agree with you but if you don't have any chance also you don't have a lot of time to make some tokens or to search for players why you should fight for 6,7 place?

Isn't getting promoted an achievement in itself.

I considered tanking a season because I refuse to buy tokens and I started to fall behind some teams but Im on level 14 in my 14th season and I didn't want to break that. I consider being promoted 13 seasons in a row as an achievement.

One of the best achievements

Tanking 2 Seasons in a row, because they put me in a new server.. With no *5 on transfer list.. how can you stand enough with that condition??? Also in higher level you had to meet the T Buyer in league, tough I never afraid, but 5 teams T buyer in 1 league?

I don't think Tanking is cheating.

I think there is little logic in not wanting to try and get promoted. I understand some want Champions League football, but I'd rather play at the highest level possible every season. If that means I get promoted in 7th place, well that has got to be better than another season in the lower level.

If you don't think you have enough Tokens to challenge for promotion, save them for a season but still try to get promoted with your side. If you miss out then you have a nice arsenal of Tokens to make a go of it the following season. If you do get promotion you will still have a nice arsenal of Tokens, but at a higher level.

I have no problem with Tankers however. I have got myself a really strong team by watching videos and doing surveys etc.. That allows me to have a team better than everyone in my league for most seasons, unless there is a Token buyer in my league, so that could also be seen as cheating as I am using the videos to boost my team.

Its just a game at the end of the day, have fun with it, but don't take it too seriously.

Except watching videos is perfectly fair because nordeus put the option there themselves. They never meant for people to exploit the game like that (not that they care too much lol). Hard to have fun when you face players who intentionally try to lose. And it ruins it for the people who actually play.
