Tankers still gain tokens though, not punished but still gain. The opportunity cost of 100 tokens is actually nothing much when you look at the bigger picture.
I feel most strategic tankers tank to beautify their trophy case. Like someone mentioned before, it is possible to see someone with 1 league trophy but 11 cups and 10 CLs. And probably 10 Super Cups going forward. As long as they win all league titles they actually play for. Cups and CL can be accumulated with less pressure through tanking. And no point having alot of tokens without the trophies and bragging rights.
No time tankers are different ya, they probably dont affect our competitions that much since they forget to change this and that. No time to login at all so cant benefit
Cant be 8th, we get promoted at 8th position. Even 9th is too risky.
