WG SHEER INCOMPETENCE

I don't understand the mechanics side either, maybe that's why I'm not very good, but that's not what's bothering me. What's really bothering me is the lack of team play elements in what is supposed to be a team based online game. There are no real incentives for team play, apart from there being a win bonus, but most people are just focusing on farming as much damage as they can, as fast as they can and basically I suppose hoping that they can do it faster than better than the opposition... and that includes their team mates first, and the enemy second...

Yeah the selfish aspect is very much annoying thing but very common in overall society these days, especially in-game. You would think people would be more chill in-game but the reality is totally different.

 

WG is responsible for many bad things in the game, but human behavbiour and nature - well can't blame them for that.

If You behave like that in the Game as well then You Deserved that Punishment even if it was handed out for the wrong Reason xD

Also. Some Advice. If You want anyone of Importance to actually Listen to the stuff You Say You should maybe adjust your Tone a bit.

If You are just Wenting tough I havnt said anything. Sometimes Venting is Good as it Reliefs Stress.

AFK for a period of time at start of the battle seems to catch people out, including me. Had to answer a phone call just before battle started, AFK for around 3 mins, then played the remaining of the game and won, got the same punishment, but did not found this out after the battle finished. 

 

Thanks WG, so if I have to be away during the game for more than 2 mins, you taught me it's better just AFK all game, as the punishment is the same.

Yeah this should be changed. Maybe up to 5 min to get punished at the start. Life issues might happen.

What you are seeing in game is what society would be like if everybody could be anonymous. 

It does explain a lot about what is going on in the world today, unfortunately. Real "civilized people"...

Oh, but it's already showing in real society as well:

"How dare you tell me to drop my phone and do my job. I have a life you know"

WG MODERATOR; I EXPECT AN APOLOGY and for the corrective measure to be put in place within 24 hours !!.

 

But first For the first time in well over a year thought I'd play Random's OMFG it's as bad as I expected and a vindication for staying well away, SHEER Lunacy on a grand scale, clearly players have picked up WG'S SHEER INCOMPETENCE by putting in a similar performance as those at WG ?.

 

Photo 1 of a random in cossack, a loss because NC border humped for most of the game, and while I was actively trying to carry the fight to the enemy, NC and the *edit* danced behind islands.

 

The remaining photo's SUM up and PROVE's my point about WG (friggin arseholes),   if I was inactive, WHY THE *edit* was I mid table, who spotted all the red DD's and who killed the Atago (a main mission goal).  *edit*

Okay. Bye then.

We will miss you...

I'll  be happy with a sliding scale of rewards reduction. For example AFK 3 mins in a 15 mins game means 1/3 less rewards, and AKF for half the match gets no rewards. 

 

But WG thinks we have a contractual obligation when we click battle and can't be away for even few seconds during the battle. Just look at the pop up notification you get if you Alt Tab the game. 

 

Sorry but this is a game we play for entertainment. Not prison. 

 

Imaging your work don't pay for your 8 hours day's labour because you left for 30 mins, and let you work the rest of the day BEFORE telling you they won't pay you!

 

I agree with not rewarding AFK players, but the implementation is terrible. So the next time I get interrupted during the battle, what is the reason I should get back to the game ASAP WG?

Nope.

 

Yes, life issues happen - the baby cries, the wife is chasing you with roller pin or your boss is calling. That's not the thing, I'm not mad at anyone (although I note that most temporally challenged players have tuberous plant stats)

 

But does that mean you don't deserve your pink cone of shame? Or that you deserve some rewards to sweeten the loss you helped cause? I don't think so.

Say, if one plays CV, afks for five minutes while the enemy one spots for his team, then he comes, bleats about just how crap his team is and why so many are already dead and then proceeds to farm a few BBs... seriously, that deserves to be relegated to coop. On the red side.

 

If you aren't sure you can manage to play the round, don't play. And if you really have to afk, then wear the pink dress with pride. And if there is the slim chance that you have to hurry away, at least don't play DD or CV.

Yes, also BBs provide firepower and tanking, unfortunately most BBabies just suck, so it doesn't matter as much as with these classes.

Yeah, go play coop, because I sure don't want to have you on my team. It's not WG who hates these who ruin my fun, it's me!

Oh I do, I'm a co op main, played more games in that mode than all others. No one is ruining your fun, be AFK or red potatoes on your team. Change your attitude and maybe you will have more enjoyable experience?

 

If WG don't tell you you lose all rewards for been 2 mins away in a 20 mins game until the end why should I bother the next time to get back in game ASAP?

You actually have a point here.

 

@Seraphice You need to increase punishment for players who are AFK multiple times in a certain timeframe and of course anyone who misses a whole game instead of only afking the first few minutes also needs a harsher punishment.

@SurfaceFish how about that as an incentive?

Oh i agree with you. My issue and others here is WG seems to treat those AFK all game the same as those had 2 or 3 mins emergency to attend to then came back, played as normal and only findout WG considered them to been AFK all game. 

 

If the punishment is the same for both cases, why should I try to get off the phone ASAP to get back to the game?

 

Like you said emergency happens. I hope WG can recognise this and use a scale of punishment of how long you been AFK vs how long the game lasted. So those had to answer phone call or door bell don't lose all the rewards for their efforts.

I actually play the game for fun, not for some kind of virtual carrot someone is dangling in front of my face. I play it because I want to play it. Why shouldn't I play when I come back from the crying baby, maybe I can even manage to carry? Or at least apologize for the AFK?

 

Ok, I'm at a loss - Is it me who isn't normal?

I don't agree with such attitude. I think that the rewards should be taken in some % not all of them. Only for those who were afk for long time they should be taken away in 100%. But not for someone who was afk for 2-3 min. 

If I get disconnected I have to restart the game, it takes 2-3 min to load back. Is that appropriate to punish me for 2-3 sec lag of my WiFi? Because those 2-3 seconds are enough to be kicked out of server.

Hello!

In any case we do not return any earnings lost for unsportsmanlike behavior in game. As for the warning itself, this warning and subsequent penalties are applied if you are inactive for a part of the match.

 

Other than that this thread serves no purpose other than to bash on other players and their supposed lack of skill, and to rage. I ask you refrain from this sort of behavior.

 

Fair seas!
