    Only they know how much tokens they get for free and how much they spend every week. If they are getting a lot of tokens for free (legal or illegal way), then they might not care too much about the spending or even the rewards (100T) and hence, the balance (profit or loss), but if they care more about winning, they will use several ways to get advantages to win. There is also a type of people that will even buy (using their money) to win.

    Significant draw fooling or manipulation is something that I never liked in this game; it is something that is unfair to others that won't be manipulating their draws, especially those that will be put in the same competition as the draw manipulators. Of course, many manipulators won't see it this way, or they will see it but won't admit it.

    In many games, some people try to exploit the weaknesses to gain advantages, even if that goes against moral standards. To each his own, but when it affects others negatively, then it is not acceptable.

    Woopypooky, the accounts that are often being used to exploit the association draw, are taking advantage of the 120 token starter pack from opening up a new account. They create account to win a tournament or two, then discard that account, then create a new account, and keep repeating the process.

    This seems more plausible, but people exploit flaws to gain advantages in many other games; it is the job of the game company to make sure things stay as fair as possible.

    People have to see it in more neutral way too. Some users here (those that are on the forum) have been exploiting the flaws of the game, creating unfair situations since a long time. One example is significant team quality manipulation in an attempt to be put against weaker teams, especially for the Cup. There have been even guides on this practice on the forum itself. This is no different to those bad practices in associations. Some went as far as keeping half a team of 7-8 stars players and another half of a team of 1-2 star players. I was among those here that was against that because this sort of practice is unfair when there are 'clean' active teams in those same competitions as those draw manipulators. Those people that manipulated the draws won't see it that same way or they will see it but will not admit it. People just want to win and some will use whatever methods, even if that goes against moral standards or if they are non-sportsmanship; this thing is in the nature of human being itself, and so, it is understandable.

    No argument from me on this one tactican. I'm in full agreement with you on the fault lies with the game developer more than the user here, since they know (or should know) that players are going to try and exploit the system to gain an advantage.

    I'm really hoping nordeus does something about this draw exploit as well, so we finally get some mobility in that World Top 100. It's basically impossible to play as a 5* association that's playing fair nowadays in platinum, with so many exploiters floating around.
