Iron Base Stacking - Aussie Shred Experience

[S_How]

You can just as easily have the iron age people attack for 1% or whatever to get around this.

Is there a difference between what I do and what they do I know the cost to age up and upgrade if I see one not or not on I cut them , is this different

 

[Vixen]

Why don't we just ban iron and classic ages from war. We only put them in to make up numbers for a war and to be nice to them but they add no value really to our wars.

 

[AmbriaJT]

You can attack multiple ages up. Can only attack one down, though.

 

[Ravenlord]

S_How - then how about an incremental scale? 50% attacks gives you 25% glory - 75% attacks gives you 50% - only 90% attacks gives you 100% glory.

I don't think we can ask for 100% attacks to get 100% glory - people are working, out of town, too many game crashes, etc, to get 100% attacks.

 

[Ravenlord]

What about the ones that DO want war and DO want to learn, get better and be part of the team? They'll be punished with a general ban.

I think at least one attack from each player should be mandatory to achieve a bare minimum amount of glory - then any additional attacks/wins can earn bonus glory. Make the wars an incentive based system. AND, the lower the base the higher the potential glory - kind of like the way the 1/-39 medal system should be .....

People are iron age and classic age for a blink of the eye.

That said when we were near max capacity we also ran a "learner" war once a week for our bottom half which gave them an opportunity to shine in an environment where they weren't just getting crucified by evil globals.

Gail had a really nice idea of letting each base have a max of 10 points (2 hits) scored against them. I think that would solve a lot of things. Or, not counting the bottom portion of alliances in the matchmaking equation. I dont think a blanket ban on lower ages would really be a good thing to solve our issues.

I know, I know, this theme has been done to death. But it helps to vent steam every now and then, and I figure this is as good a place as any to name and shame some gutless sandbaggers. So without further ado, I present to you Russian Style:

(Screenshots were taken with about 4 hours left to go)

Sorry you are having to face teams like that. We see stackers in 100% of our 35/40 player matches now. Unfortunately, naming and shaming probably just gets even more threads on this issue closed, as so many already have been. If you look at the top 100 glory ranking, nearly 90% of the top teams have 25%-40% of their alliance filled with sandbagged, inactive, unplayed accounts whos only purpose is to manipulate matchups so that there is very little risk of losing, unless you meet a team who sandbags better than you. You'd think this would be bad for Nexon business, I dont know.

Its a real shame that this thread was started in August (it was far from the first raised on the issue, too), and we are now a week away from November and still no action. Not even a single specific detail of how and when Nexon plans on combating it. Its already cost the game many many players.

Xerxes have you looked at the groups in discord doing h2h's to avoid the stackers?
S_How it is a shame that this hasn't been addressed at all

very simple (but not perfect) solution .. leave the stackers to play each other

 

[Funks]

Glad this was bumped, needs to be stickier really.

I totally agree Vixen. My guys love to war, Ive actually opted out of the current one, yet again stacked to the rim!! only 3 of us in GBA yet we're again pitted against a team with 50% high xp GBA and the rest made up of low aged TC's (about 3 out of a 15 player war). Why nexon make the WW team ups like this is anyones guess. I only wish theyd change this crap!

 

[Vixen]

Funks .. come to discord btw totally missing my afternoon posters you and Ravenlord

[Xerxes]

Vixen, I saw a thread about discord but couldn't figure out how to use it or what to do. Is there a detailed explanation somewhere?

 

[Nb4powerup]

Hi all,

We're still very much aware that this is an issue that needs to be addressed. We do have some plans but I don't have an ETA at the moment.

 

[The Divine]

I'm not a big fan of base stacking either but once change begins,It cannot be stopped.
This Glory thing is encouraging and forcing more alliances to use this strategy,It shouldn't have been created in the first place.An obvious and funny mistake.

 

[snowleopard]

How about everyone uses Sandbagging??? I believe most of the alliances uses it, so why can't you till the issue is resolved.

 

[Tenacious D]

The leaderboard should be comprised of the strongest alliances. But unless the strong alliances do something to weaken their war strength, they will have a little chance of reaching the top of the leaderboard. The game is so slanted towards offense that any top alliance is going to have a large number of stalemates unless they dilute their strength. Otherwise the will have too many wars where both alliances achieve perfect scores.

The people complaining the loudest about this issue are weak alliances that have no business being ranked among the top alliances.

Before Re-joining the Rebellions, I was in a Viet alliance and got invovled in WW. I had to leave because plenty folks were cheaters in stacking...

Other than WW, I had a problem on my iPad where when I got on DomiNations, the TC was shifted to the right, making it look like stacking. Luckily, I put it back...
I stopped reporting because some users could have theirs also shifted for no reason.
