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, thank you so much, can't thank you enught ! That kids stole my clan rank and 4sure others clans ranks too. Ty for doing this, i'm gratefull !!! Ty z8 !!!!!!!!! -

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.
If clans are finding ways around this new standard, wouldn't that be against da rulez and therefore punishable, whether by detracting points or something more harsh? -

Thanks everyone for your patience and understanding while we have set this aspect up!
Who Gives A damn about this Clan Guiness if they Farm I just Love to see them in real match QQ hard.. -
In the case of this one particular clan the separation was so obvious and so large that it could not be ignored.
Other clans who had only been farming 10-20 wins per day were still allowing movement on the ladder.
This particular clan was farming 80-100 wins per day with the expressed purpose of putting everyone behind them when getting to the top. This is just simply un-fair.
We have not done anything to the points gained through individual experience, the total number of clan points that were removed was less than 15% of their total points they have achieved.
In addition to this, points for 10 games each day were also left on the account as that is still within the limitations of the rules.
We appreciate the words of our fans and clan Guinness, however there was just too much exploited farming going on for us to just let the clan sit there. (not to mention they are still highly ranked)
Please note that we will continue to monitor the clan list and if we need to apply stricter rules to limiting exploitable behavior we will do so to maintain the integrity of the ladder and the fairness to other clans.
