is tanking=cheating?

[spornybol]

interesting opinions guys
it is debatable and seem so far majority think it is not cheating
and as much as I agree with some here that regardless of how good are other teams and how many scouts they have, we shouldn't give up without a fight, but again, the whole purpose of the game at the end is to win, isn't? to brag about winning titles, breaking records, dominating other teams

i never gave up even against the stronger teams in league i was doing great then suddenly after i beat two of the stronger team i lost next 4 against weaker teams even though i countered them, that`s when i made a decision to tank ( 3 games into second half of season) ) and only just by 1 pt that i stayed down, it all depends how that end of middle season goes and start of middle season goes that defines the rest of season

Its definitely unfair but its not exactly cheating. I dont like the idea of tanking. Its not fair to the people that play the game the way it was meant to be played. But no it's not really cheating.

Exploiting loopholes doesn't necessarily equate to cheating.

Nicely weighted poll though ... 'Yes' or 'HELL NO!' ...

i dont think its cheating
ive only considered tanking once, and its this season. im currently 8th place in the league and i also compared the *s of the other teams. honestly id be bored enough to quit if i actually started tanking. so instead of tanking im just duking it against the leagues booksies. havent been going well TBH but im guessing id regret it if i tanked instead. so yeah, for pride and honor, son, for pride and HONOR!!!

never. You have different ways to play this game, paying, and without pay.
Paying you can tank a season like I did, to be 2 months training in the same level to do what I do now, that is win with players of near 8 stars.
I think there are different ways to enjoy this game, like in the real football, a millionarie can buy your club and, make a winner club like PSG, or, you can fight with a low budget, without buy tokens... or saving the tokens during 1 or 2 months to buy a "super star" and see what happen... so, you have different options to enjoy the game, and see the result of what you do.
Is more near the cheating, for example, to have 3-4-5 teams that you use to win posesion and transfer players. Thats more cheating than tank.

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...

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.
