Comments

Farming does not really bother me but if it helps in keeping the forums clean of people who cant put a thread together without resorting to insults I'm all for it
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)
You could just farm a few you know :rolleyes: jk lol. -
Pay attention to Clan RO.pro ™, I think it is not just the Guiness clan .Was it fair?

Thanks for fixing this major flaw in the system, I can't wait to see it implemented.
But in the future, will there be a support ticket form created to allow users to report such clans?
If not, automation in this situation is key.
Please note that removing excessive clan match points from a particular clan is not an indication that we are changing our stance on farming.
People who decide to go in to games and die over and over again so their friends can gain however much experience they want for their character or rank or clan is not against the rules.
There are limitations in place for Clan 'play' Points which are capped, and a decay % to prevent players from gaining and going afk while remaining at the top. In this same way there are limitations in the game, afk timers, maximum exp caps.
The reason we modified one clans point total was due to the extreme nature of their exploiting. We have mentioned in the past that the Clan 'Match Point' ladder was meant to be based more about wins and losses than about sheer farming of experience. It was never intended to be abused to the levels that this particular clan was abusing them to.
The 10 limit is adjustable and we will have no problems adjusting if we deem that 10 games versus the same clan is not enough of a limitation to stop farming. HOWEVER 10 games is a viable attainable goal for the general public. 80-100 games per day is NOT, and thus the changes were made.
But this whole process is not being done so that X player can report Y clan/player because they want to cry about them being a higher level. People will always find a way to be better and faster and higher level than you are. Unfortunately this is a fact of video games. -

Thanks for the clarification. -
And what about the "players rank" ?
you penalize clan of farmer but you do nothing against the players ou farm a lot !
it's unfair
there is only 1 reason you dont penallize them ! they bought zp
so you close your eyes and accept the situation...
Quite your classifications(rankings) are falsified -

I do NOT support farmers, but I am really angry how players say nosense about Z8 ... For an instance, Doesnt matter if you have bought ZPs twice, twenty-times or never, You will get ban for breaking a rules !! -

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!
Are you naming and shaming another clan on the forums? That'll be an infraction. 2 points.
