Everyone is free to take their own decisions...
I would never tank a team, but I have no problem with those that do.
For me, I would rather play at the highest level each season - and to do that I would have to get promoted. That is thus the main aim/goal each season, with CL football a bonus if possible.
I've seen some comments about how some people tank if they can't get in the Champions League because they will miss out on the extra games/fans/money if they got promoted in 7th. What they don't seem to realise is that by tanking they are still missing out on CL football, but also they are doing it at a lower level the year after.
While there is merit in saying its better to tank to get a stronger squad at that level (two seasons to develop players instead of one), for me it doesn't really make sense or make it worth while.
nope.
nope,i will never tank but i have nothing against those who tank
Tanking is good if you have had a bad season,or you want to make your squad stronger
i try not tank but done twice in 22 seasons, 1st time was in league with 5 token buying scout teams and 2nd time was this season as i have 3 higher levels teams in champions league which should not happen but Nordeus won`t admit there was a cock up with this, so don`t want to up to get this again as it ruined my season before it even started
Managers should do whatever they need to do to win!, for those who can't afford to buy tokens or do not get free tokens and play in a league against players like that(me) then if they need to waist a season to build a better team then so be it. I have no problem with it, I have never had to do it myself.
Good voting so far.. pls vote if u havent yet :)
Btw, ofc we respect everyone s decisions, Im just looking to get an idea of the general thought about tanking
For me... Tanking is part of the strategy to success in this game if you need to use it. If your constantly fighting against many token buyers/farmers each season and cannot buy good players from the auctions... What other options have you got left? Well at least tanking is a good option since your cutting your losses early and waiting for a better opportunity.
Also the way this game is designed, It's better to miss promotion altogether if your going to fail to get in the Champions League.
I agree with you.Quote:

I normally wouldn't think about tanking either but it's just how the game is designed, tanking is only going to help you strengthen and develop your team without players losing stars.Quote:

I'd rather tank than miss out on the CL, like July Fourth, as the lost revenue would be a catastrophe.
Not sure what this poll is trying to evaluate - its usual to ask if something is good or bad or not sure/don't care OR would you do it or not do it or have you not considered it. Poll seems to try to do both but achieves neither.
However I'm sure the opinions expressed will be of more value.
Atm I could only see me tanking if I thought I'd be away for an extended period. I can understand why some ppl might want to develop a squad and farm but I'd rather fail trying than try to fail (I'd probably mess it up anyway). As long as you can't get more from tanking than succeeding then I'm happy for folks to do what's best for them.
Fully agree with youQuote:

It's just to buy the players u need for the upcoming season. I don't see the problem.
I recently found out what tanking means... and for me it's weird that ppl even consider it.
But everybody are different thank god.
The problem is that if you don`t buy Tokens you may not have enough Tokens and/or money to upgrade your team for next season. Not only that your players won`t loose a star but you can also save up Tokens and money during Tanking. As long as your team is competitive you won't even think about tanking.Quote:

My personal experience with tanking is not so well. Did it a few seasons ago, but in the new season Nordeus put me in a very strong league again were I tried hard to succeed but after half of the season it was clear that I wouldn't qualify for champions again.
prefeer don't talk xD LOL
Am I tanking? This season (level 28) all the teams are at least 5 average point better than me. I have no chance of getting a top 7 finish. So I am building up my tokens (not a buyer or farmer) in the hope that I will get a more competitive league next time and then be able to buy (use my tokens) and compete. Is this tanking or being sensible about my chances?
Probably both...Quote:

Ofc there might be an impact on others tho. I'd probably be a bit peeved if I was on the margins dropping points to other teams that then went on a losing run and therafter tanked. Taking points from me and giving them away to others isn't great but its hardly the end of the world.
Just find your own way to play. Imo I'd rather someone tanked a season in the hope of an enjoyable one the next than just quitting.:D
Tanking is not fine, its a given right to every player that does not wish to pay up every month in order to be competitive.
July is this Lily Allen? You re a great avatar picker!

How about people who want to tank because they want to take a break playing T11 because TOP ELEVEN NEVER SLEEPS?
Tanking its out of the question for me,i am playing the game for entertainment not for the trophie, althgough welcomed, so tanking will give me a month of no interest for TE ,becides i am finding interesting only in leveling up.
Just saw your post, yes propably that would be the only reason to tank if i will ever decide it, that would be reasonable.Quote:

For me that would be the only reason yes, and i would have to be working in the countryside in a place without internet for most of the season to do that :)
Aside from that no, no tanking for me, we at Wydad FC fight on always :) we are successfull enough to have the ressources to continue competing on all 3 fronts every season :)
End of season report, league 13th (as expected) but unbelievably I won my first ever Champions League. Level 28 and 36 seasons and my first CL win. Fantastic!
The problem is that not everyone can BUY the players the need for the upcoming season. Not all of us are blessed with the money needed to keep a world class team going season after season, and many of us have other needs for their money and feel that wasting it on a game like this is completely idiotic when there are other things in their lives that need the money more.Quote:

I recently started tanking because I couldnt compete with a 3/4 star team and tanked in order to have a 5 star team and lo and behold, won the Cup and tied for 1st in the league(lost on GD)this past season. Didnt spend any tokens and only have enough for 2-3 replacements every season, depending on how bad I get screwed in the auctions.
People who ignorantly just buy tokens have no clue about how to play the game frugally, and therefor have no clue about why to tank and the positives resulting from it. July and Sporny excluded of course.
DUH!Quote:

Let me inform u about my team, no farming tokens or packs, no buying tokens, no tanking, match bonuses are always maxed, we win trophies every season.. Never made the treeble but the double was achieved 3 times...
And every trophies I win, I really won them :)
Try and buy players in early twenties to keep em at least a couple seasons, so u buy 5 or 6 players every season, it doesn't cost much at all especially since ur selling the same num of players, and they r still attractive to buyers..
I've been doing that and now have a huge surplus of cash I don't need :) like 100 mills extra lol
Good luck
tank is just SU*K Nordues i don't know how the spell it lol ??? so nordious just gave you very little tokens i lost 17 tokens today in bidding war and i don't even take the player i was tanking those 17 tokens for the whole season
