Clan List changes - Manipulation and Farming of the "Match Point" ladder
Attention Z8Gamers,
Today we are happy to announce that we are working on a system of limitation for clans who are playing an excessive number of Clan Wars for the sole purpose of farming match points versus 'cow' or 'alternate' clans!
Before the end of the week we will be introducing a limit to the number of match points 1 clan can achieve versus another clan.
This limit will be set at 10 initially however we will be closely monitoring this to see what affect it has and whether we need to make adjustments.
What does this mean?
It means that you can still earn an unlimited number of Clan Match points per day by challenging your fellow clans to duke it out on the Clan Server, BUT you will now only be able to gain actual points from matches versus one other specific clan up to the first 10 times.
In addition to this we will be looking at clans in the top ranks and their history over the last period of time (1 month) and looking to see if we can remove and/or restore some points. Please note that this does not mean we will be taking this action. Simply that we are in the process of review.
If we see that clans are still finding ways around this new feature we will continue to impose further rules and limitations. Our goal is to create an alternate form of ranking clans which is more focused on wins and losses and playing on the clan server. Not to see who can farm the most wins to get to the top.
**Update**
As an update. We have gone through the list of the clan who is currently at the top.
Guiness™
Has been found to farm match wins on the Clan Server at the highest rate on the match point ladder.
We will be applying a correction to their Clan Match Point log which takes into account the restrictions which we have applied today over the last 30 days for this clan.
While we appreciate the clans dedication to trying to get to the top, creating alternate clans or asking other clans to simply lose up to 60-70-80 matches per day for the sole purpose of GETTING to the top goes against what the original clan ladder was created for. The amount of farming that took place was well above any other clan and this is why we feel it necessary to modify the points for this clan.
Thanks everyone for your patience and understanding while we have set this aspect up!

Good news? :rolleyes: :cool:
I guess the major update is the sort of babysteps taken to ensure a fairer quality of gameplay in certain aspects of the game. Ofc there will never be a full 100% farm-proof game but I'm glad Z8 is looking into this.
Now how about that 100% more EXP weekend guys! RIGHT-O!
Wish CF MODS CWed more often to make it a difference -.- (<3 ya guys) -
Ok!!!
This is the best news i've heard on this forum in a while. I've prayed for this in a post i've made on forum and no one give'd me credit, but, seems that someone read that and understood what i was saying there. i won't repeat the whole story but i'm just thankfull cuz' this happened ...
now i can spend my money again by buying ZP and knowing' that i can rank up and farmers can't get my rank !
THANKS !!!!!! -

We do listen to the users in our community! Thanks to those who brought those large farming clans to our attention, we are looking in to options with those clans.
But it was that help in addition to our own analysis that was immediately apparent that we needed to do something. It's unfortunate that it took this long, but that is the way of things! We tried to tell people for the last 2-3 weeks that we were aware of the issue and were addressing it so that they would avoid having the attitude you describe though! -

Very good news that action is taken!!
Thanks for the update! -
Really, that's a great IDEA !
I was sick to see "legit clans" not being able to attain the top 200/100 without farming.
If this takes place, it will give a chance to EVERY CLAN and there will be more challenge !
Really nice idea. I'm supporting & following this.
I love it even more than the new Patch. Its a great step forword for z8games and CF!! Keep it up!
