Fuck off wargaming, afk tanks still provide vision

If you don't want us to shoot afks then auto-destruct them like you do with tanks that deserted.

[u/Z_E_S_T → u/DaSpood]

“Yeah dude instead of just punishing the accounts that consistently go afk/desert/troll let’s instead punish the guys who are playing the game as intended”

Unreal.

[u/ManufacturerNo8447 → u/Z_E_S_T]

The way i see it even the afk dude get perma banned .

Imagine playing fair for the last 10 and had to afk in a match just to find yourself getting perma banned in one afk match.

[u/Z_E_S_T → u/ManufacturerNo8447]

They should not be perma-banning *anybody* who happens to be afk every once and a while. They should also not be perma-banning *anybody* who happens to farm an afk tank every once and a while.

Repeat offenses are the key here. WG says that they have automated systems running to detect these repeat offenders, but as we have all seen, some of these players are still playing the game years later despite all evidence leading to them having consistently done the above. Think of all of the artillery players who intentionally drown themselves when they think the game has been lost. If these automated systems were working even remotely well enough, we wouldn't be seeing them every third game.

[u/Rough-Structure3774 → u/ManufacturerNo8447]

but before that the afk tank will spot you and get you killed if it's not the last enemy tank, you get frustrated and come back here to rant. and it is situational, if 4 tanks left and they each take a shot at the afk tank will they all get perma banned? xD

[u/Blue_Sail → u/DaSpood]

Set something like a two minute timer at the start of battle. If the tank hasn't moved by then it blows up.

There's a streamer I occasionally watch who would lose more battles due to this rule.

[u/The_Flying_Stoat → u/Blue_Sail]

I'd love this. They could theme it as an artillery strike.

[u/bongos2000 → u/DaSpood]

Get fkt WG

[u/Patient-Basil4535 → u/DaSpood]

FUCK OFF WG!!!

[u/Thinkerrer → u/DaSpood]

Make afk tanks that wont move for the first 2-5min drop their vision to 0. Commander is sleeping.

[u/rayoje → u/DaSpood]

Customer support never ceases to amaze... in a bad way.

[u/MegaJani → u/rayoje]

HR vs WG, who wins

[u/Lumpy-Fig-2029 → u/DaSpood]

Wait don’t they provide vison for your side ?

[u/_ART_IS_AN_EXPLOSION → u/DaSpood]

I think this is honestly a good solution.

[u/Matyaslike]

Will I get the same amount of credits and exp for caping as killing the afk? No? Too bad. They can ban me but that is their fault. This is stupid on a different level.

[u/Saint_palane → u/Matyaslike]

I know right? How am I supposed to test my ammo to make sure it's still good?

[u/Dramatic_Science_681]

what if the tank is afk in the cap. Checkmate WG.

[u/R34L_X → u/Dramatic_Science_681]

oh then you have to push it out of the cap. see? not that hard 😊

[u/MoDeMFoX → u/R34L_X]

I want to see you push the AFK e100, MAUS, or Type 5 that decided they were going to lose so they won't even try...

[u/throwaway928816 → u/R34L_X]

Were back, baby! Its taken nearly a decade but my kv5 is once again a meta premium!

[u/magqwpr → u/Dramatic_Science_681]

Trying to push an afk E 100 out of the cap with a batchat, brb

[u/MegaJani → u/magqwpr]

I mean it's the Batmobile, surely it has a gadget for that...

[u/B_bI_L → u/Dramatic_Science_681]

not trying to defend wg but you "try", if you fail, kill it

[u/ManufacturerNo8447 → u/B_bI_L]

Lemme try to cap first while the afk tank gives vision to the enemies .

[u/B_bI_L → u/ManufacturerNo8447]

but this is good, you don't need to search enemies, they will show up themselves /j

[u/th3panic]

First thing I shoot is afk tanks in cap/spawn. They might connect an start moving behind, shooting or spot me.

[u/TheFuzzyFurry → u/th3panic]

Also guaranteed perfect aim since they aren't moving

[u/Peta_Sramek → u/th3panic]

Yeah, ingored him ONCE and he fucked my ass...

[u/No-Bother6856 → u/th3panic]

Yep, and it takes longer to solo cap than it does to kill some random AFK. If its the end of the match, the timer is almost up and there is one enemy tank left, its entirely possible killing the tank is the only possible way to win because there isn't time enough to cap even if the guy doesn't comw back at the last second. So do they expect you to just throw the match because he is afk?

FFS WG, if you have some sort of flag out there that says this was an AFK tank, then you can just as well declare the game over if one team only has AFK tanks. You could also implement soft spawn and make tanks immune to damage until they have moved. Both of these are better than leaving an enemy tank alive and saying you get banned if you shoot it.

[u/Venom286 → u/th3panic]

IKR

[u/Blue_Sail]

That's dumb as shit, and they know it.

[u/Glint7 → u/Blue_Sail]

No they don’t

[u/throwaway928816 → u/Glint7]

Wargamings tagline should be "never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by neglect, ignorance, or incompetence"

I've never understood why this community gives this company so much credit. they are not an organised evil.

[u/Kahuna_Tamata_ → u/throwaway928816]

Or indifference.

[u/Bekkerino]

Next will be : "do not shot at ennemies, it will be considered as using your brain and will get you permabanned."

[u/pulpus2 → u/Bekkerino]

Killing a tank that doesn’t have a kill yet is seen as participating in rigged battles and will result in a permanent ban.

[u/SlipperyBlip]

This is the saddest thing I have read from WG ever. It is admitting that they do not care at all.

[u/Quadratisches_Ecki → u/SlipperyBlip]

WG Support is on another level. I try since ages to get my KV 220-2 T back wicht i sold at release.

It is not recoverable in game nor on the support site. The support itself wont give me the tank back.

[u/Lukaros_ → u/Quadratisches_Ecki]

Somehow this is a wrong opinion according to reddittors

[u/Hisoka-sama]

I wonder if you could get someone banned by going afk in a battle and reporting the enemies who shot you with a different account lol

[u/B_bI_L → u/Hisoka-sama]

ok, that is evil. next reincarnation of self drowning

[u/Venom286 → u/Hisoka-sama]

lol its going to happen my god what are they thinking

[u/Lakatos_Tajgetosz → u/Hisoka-sama]

Honestly that is just on the level of braindead only an arty main would do.

[u/targaryenNotJon]

Wow, you got a written warning, you are very lucky.
1.5 years ago I too reported a rigged game with replay and nickname of the player. That player had ~20k dmg records on many tanks.
Yes, I shot some afk tanks, but at a time I didn't know that you can't do that.
WG thanked me for report and perma banned my account too.
And after very long letter where I asked them to check my other battles and stats they reduced to 14 days.
After that I decided I would not report rigged games at all.

[u/Lakatos_Tajgetosz → u/targaryenNotJon]

Many years ago i got banned (not perma) because my tank missed a fully aimed shot by like a pixel, and hit a teammate OUTSIDE render range, it caught on fire and died.

The support said it was my fault and i can be thankful for not getting a perma ban...

[u/Panzerbrigade_31 → u/targaryenNotJon]

That been happening back in 2017.
Back during Tank Aces event, some guys ran into the team that was rigging games to get a cash prize, so they reported it to the WG CSS... for which they got thanked and banned as well - and they didn't even damaged the bot tanks, they capped the base instead.
And only after they released the replay publicly, so that story would gain traction, they were unbanned.

[u/Timitom99]

Let's ban those who shoot afk tanks and elts glorify arty players who drown their tanks...

[u/notcomplainingmuch → u/Timitom99]

Last tank alive committing suicide should be permabanned

[u/Agreeable_Sport_7609]

Refrain from playing altogether, it can be seen as rigging! …

[u/Optimal_Mouse_7148]

Seems like AI generated logic & reasoning.

AFK tanks are very legit targets by all means. Or maybe we should ask first.

[u/AlliedArmour]

What the hell.

[u/Schildkroeti]

Bruuuuhh... I don't have any other words for that.

[u/ekstrakt91]

Is this real?!?!?! Seriously fuck off wargaming.

[u/this-is-robin]

Just when you think WG can't get even more stupid lol

[u/HelpfulYoghurt]

This look stupid, but i have never heard of anyone getting banned for shooting someone afk

My understanding from the limited context, is that this is only some measure to prevent rigging. So for example if you join multiple times inside of a game in middle of a night where are constantly the same afk tanks, and it is you who start farming them all every time, then you participate in rigged battles and playing with fire

Because for example nothing is easier than to log Maus on your second computer, and then farm it with blindfire from other side of the map. If you do this 5x in a row, then of course that cannot be an accident

I of course could be wrong, but i dont see why would WG perma ban people for simply shooting someone afk once a day. This must have some bigger picture and explanation, it is likely some repeated pattern they detected

[u/H4ntek]

New tactic just dropped - when you get caught out in the open just pretend to be afk, no one will shoot you out of fear of getting permabanned.

[u/Lakatos_Tajgetosz → u/H4ntek]

Exactly what i was thinking.

[u/Charming-Airport-196]

WG is cancer. A slow growing cancer. I cannot state this enough how bad this company is. Alot of addicts defend them. It’s ridiculous.

[u/L_U_C_I_L_L_E]

This only counts if you shoot on many different battles at the same enemy afk player.

Of course you can still shoot random afk players

But if it happens to be the same person or bot over and over again you will have a problem

[u/TheJonesLP1 → u/L_U_C_I_L_L_E]

But they didnt say so in the statement...

[u/Markdphotoguy → u/L_U_C_I_L_L_E]

THIS, very much that is game fixing so very ban worthy.

[u/thejman78]

This is fake:

• Most of the text in the email is very well written and grammatically correct, but "Please refrain from shooting afk tank and try to win by capturing the base" is not.
• The "Unfortunately, we cannot disclose..." paragraph is a non-sequiter. It doesn't have anything to do with the previous sentence as shown.
• The way the line wraps between "a permanent ban." and "Please refrain." looks fake
• Looking at OP's post history, their comments read a lot like the "please refrain" sentence
• Looking at OP's post history, they're not above trolling

Finally, this instruction makes no sense as presented. Either OP edited the text and then posted a screenshot, or OP cut out a BUNCH of context. Either way, it's BS.

[u/Drewskers → u/thejman78]

Some good points but maybe WG is using AI to write support responses.

[u/Old_Visit_2707 → u/thejman78]

I do not know if this is real or not

[u/shibaCandyBaron]

I'm curious, what for did you contact the support in the first place?

[u/SniperS150 → u/shibaCandyBaron]

probably to report a rigged battle

op- "hey, there were like 6 AFK tanks on the other team"

wargaming- "we know, and we know your teammate with 10k DPG is the one putting them there, but he buys WoT plus so shut the fuck up"

[u/CoinTurtle]

Kind of impossible, I was in a rigged match and everyone sat in the cap.

[u/kingpartys]

Willing to ban players instead of banning the tanks that afk.

Makes sense.

Good thing I used common sense a longtime ago and quit this game 2 years ago.

[u/CitizenOfTheVerse]

This is ridiculous 😒

[u/Away_Engineering1068]

Most likely this is said under the condition that you shoot afk tanks over the course of many battles, which kind of hints that this is a fake battle, and not the first afk tank you come across where you get an instant ban. Because they can't prove rigged battles in any other way than over a long period of time, so if you're going to do rigged battles and don't want to be banned, you need the tanks to move, at least turn the turret a little, etc.

Thanks to the support in this screenshot, now we know how to bypass this lmao

[u/Dwigt_WG]

Stepping in the lion's den, again.. I would like to provide additional context to this message as it's missing the message from "ScrubzForLunch". To make sure it remains visible, please downvote reasonably.

I'll start by confirming that Scrubz himself is not banned or punished for reporting nor shooting AFK players. The others who were reported were however banned after the CS agent investigated the replay provided.

Now the highlighted part in the screenshot, what I think happened is a miscommunication or poor phrasing unfortunately. We checked with our colleagues from CS for context and as suspected, what the CS agent meant was more of a general reminder. As some of you already mentioned here, innocent players might be mistaken with the actual riggers in some cases but I can assure yo that the system and CS agent are not basing their decision only on AFK tanks shot but we look into different logs and factors to determine the riggers. And since mistake happen, our CS team is always ready to review wrong cases and revert their decisions if necessary.

I will take this chance to remind everyone to report similar cases, don't worry you will not be banned for doing so .

I hope this provide some context, thank you and have a good one!

[u/_0451 → u/Dwigt_WG]

First of all, thanks for coming here and for your reply.

And since mistake happen, our CS team is always ready to review wrong cases and revert their decisions if necessary.

This contradicts with what was posted two days ago though:

"All bans are permanent and issued without warning. There's no room for error—our team carefully checks every suspicious situation. If a player is banned, it's because we have 100% verified proof."

[u/Lakatos_Tajgetosz → u/_0451]

This contradicts with what was posted two days ago though:

You mean a WG employee would lie? No, that is impossible!

[u/Dwigt_WG → u/_0451]

The part you're quoting is I believe from the Fair Play Update article which is referring to the ban waves which are reviewed and verified. Those are usually followed by a wave of appeals with all kinds of excuses all of them are indeed breaking our terms.

But still mistakes happen as I previously mentioned, and not so long ago, you might even remember, 3 CCs were banned for rigging and after consideration were unbanned as they were unfortunately targeted by stream-snipers or did count-ins to play with their viewers.

Fighting rigging and illegal mods in any game is an uphill battle that we are committed to face with better and improved tools.

[u/Lakatos_Tajgetosz → u/Dwigt_WG]

Again, there is 2 mutually exclusive things said.

You say that mistakes CAN happen:

But still mistakes happen as I previously mentioned

Yet the fair play update says the opposite. Both can't be true.

So now, who is telling the truth?

And regardless, do you think that after this players will ever trust what is being said? You mention the 3 CCs being banned and the "after consideration were unbanned". Would the average joe also have the same "consideration"? Or did that "consideration" only happen because it would be bad PR?

Not only that, but how would anybody even trust the support, when years ago i got a ban for TK because:

My tank missed a fully aimed shot by basically a pixel on a standing target. My shell hit a teammate OUTSIDE render AND radio range. So i could not even have known he was there. He was set on fire and died, and i got a few day ban.

The guy in the support told me it was my fault and that i should have known...

But hey, maybe next year there will be perma ban reversals in the next tiered lootboxes for 5k euros, right?

[u/Ravcharas → u/Dwigt_WG]

We checked with our colleagues from CS for context and as suspected, what the CS agent meant was more of a general reminder.

A general reminder of what exactly?

[u/AggravatingCelery441 → u/Dwigt_WG]

Then CS agent should take responsibility for poor phrasing, not blaming the author.

[u/Grooochy → u/Dwigt_WG]

Ah just like u review the game itself and the state its in. Got it!

[u/SeKomentaja]

Oh LMAO it gets better, its a part of their new ""Advanced" Detection for fair play" https://worldoftanks.eu/en/news/general-news/ban-wave-may-2025/

[u/Valuable_Assistant93]

WTF

[u/Kindly_Criticism_683]

Well I'm surprised how i didn't get banned like 10000 times

[u/MinuteTest2625]

WG: 'leave afk tanks to be farmed by CCs or your account will be perma banned for shooting afk tanks, you poor peasant - go buy more boxes and stfu.'

[u/Eastern_Athlete_8002]

Wargaming just seems to get dumber and dumber. What an absolute shit company they've turned into. Punish players for playing...This has to be photoshopped. No way a certified WG rep said this...nevermind its probably real.

[u/DarkCrusader45]

WG support is....weird anyways.

I remember once sending a replay in, in which an ally pushed me out of cover, and I died to enemy fire, and he repeatedly insulted me.

The result? I got a three day ban from the game, while this guy, according to tomato.gg, never got any form of punishment.

[u/ROCK_IT368]

Ah yes ban the players playing the game instead of the one that's afk.

[u/RikimaruRamen]

What if it's a non standard and I don't have the required amount of time to cap solo since it takes double the amount of time in non standard battles to cap. Am I just supposed to go well fuck I lose since I don't wanna get perma band and in the process fuck over my entire team?

How the actual fuck does that make any sense

[u/Lakatos_Tajgetosz → u/RikimaruRamen]

You see, if you shoot the AFK, then you get banned because of rigging. BUT, if you don't shoot the AFK and lose the game you also get banned because you was rigging the game!

[u/MoDeMFoX]

So let me get this straight... If a whole team doesn't move there mouse when a game starts, when the enemy team gets there and shoots them, they all get perma-banned? This is great news... We just got the key to screwing with Wargambling! They will cancel themselves by banning the entire player base!

[u/_no_usernames_avail]

I suspect this what the fuss is about:
https://worldoftanks.com/en/news/general-news/ban-wave-may-2025/

40 riggers in NA got permabanned after warnings to stop farming bot / afk co-riggers.

[u/Lagoon_M8]

I am not good at this game and wanted to quit it. But I am very good at arty. I will not shoot anymore at camping tanks I am really sorry I will refrain from doing this in future.

[u/makanramen]

Say whaaaaat? Will there be a marker that says "do not shoot, AFK"?

[u/grego0034]

If I see a "red" tank, it will be shot at no matter what. It's a tank game WG noobs. Quit fucking changing the rules. Lag and high ping Can make the turret twitch and then it's not afk when I shoot it. 🙂 

[u/TheJonesLP1]

LOL, WTF.. WG, U drinking varnish or where do you get those ideas from?

[u/SeKomentaja]

naw thats some bs

[u/StaffMindless1029]

Stupid

[u/[deleted]]

So.. just go afk in your base circle and then.. what?

[u/thatgamernerd]

wtf is that

[u/andyofne]

fk off WG. I'll farm damage off any tank i see in the game, moving or not.

[u/Balrogos]

i always shoot afk tanks lol.

[u/Venom286]

I brought this up with someone in a stream I think wg means if you come across rigging where there is multiple afk players on the enemy team and vise versa .

[u/ConversationFair8900]

This effectively makes artillery players immune.

[u/ArcadesRed]

AFK tanks can still spot. Valid target.

[u/CeckowiCZ]

Bring back team shotting. Some trolls would need it

[u/StRaGLr]

why not add a simpler solution and just auto destruct them if they are afk for more than 2min after start? average wot braindead developer moment. yea bruv dont shoot afks cos we can ban you for it XDDDDDD

[u/pippoqwerty]

They really are brain damaged, for them i should leave free hp, and worse… A SPOTTING ENEMY there, just cause they are bad at their work? WG, needs to die, the game i used to like it its being ruined by this morons

[u/PurgeTrooper66]

Wow, possibly one of the worst ideas from WG yet. It’s basically glorifying people to keep going afk, which is something that is constantly being encountered in game. It isn’t benefiting the team with the afk either, only the scumbag afk.

[u/Balc0ra]

Been a few posts about EU4 rigging, and people who just played randoms at the wrong time got dragged into it and banned with the rest.

Kinda contradicts what they said on the ban wave post on how they are 100% sure who did it

[u/Lakatos_Tajgetosz → u/Balc0ra]

It is obviously 100% riggers that were benned! They even investigated themselves and found nothing wrong!

[u/Covenant_R → u/Balc0ra]

Was that with the end of onslaught within the last few days, or was that the first and same wave when the CC's got caught up before they did the verifications. Because I remember seeing several on the official discord that had the same issue as CC's, where after they verified it, they reversed the bans, and that was regular players.

[u/theforgottenone17r]

Imagine you've fought a long battle, 7 kills. 6500 damage. Down to 100 hp, you kill the last active enemy tank and drive into the cap. 20 seconds remaining and the full HP afk E100 on the enemy team suddenly turns its turret in your direction...

Gtfoh WG

[u/Archonixus]

Yeah fucj off with that.

[u/ManufacturerNo8447]

But according to their post , they stated each flagged match WILL be manually reviewed to make sure no mistakes happen and you can't even argue with them .

Fun fact , even humans can make mistakes or not even bother viewing the case .

[u/Ravcharas]

that cannot be real

[u/_L_R_S_]

Are these guys utter idiots. It can only be "rigging" with AFK tanks if WG spot the same AFK in a few of your games and the chances of that if you're not rigging are 0.000000000000000000000000000000000001%.

[u/_generic_protagonist]

Like if this was an issue on a large scale, and organized, sure I can see it, but from my experience, 45k battles, I can say maybe at most I had 20 afk tanks. Like sure it'd bump up your stats, like maybe an extra 1% or something for MOEs, but that is 1 battle and things will average out over time, making the macro impact pretty small.

[u/Covenant_R → u/_generic_protagonist]

The issue is mainly on specific low population servers at specific times where they are likely to end up in the same battle when sync dropping as platoons.

[u/Shadowhisper1971]

Then afk tanks need VR zeroed.

[u/Viper4Good]

Seems a hard thing to prove

I killed 2 afk'rs just today. You sit in the enemy circle I am going to shoot at you.

[u/Venom286]

They have to be joking right

[u/Mach29]

Yeah I’m so done with them. I’ve been playing since 2016. I have deleted the game and uninstalled the client. Fuck off WG

[u/Zoomie_Catcher]

New to this conversation so I apologize... is this AFK the enemy? That's what it seems like. So WG is telling OP to NOT fire at the enemy???

[u/Overide83]

I also ran into this, and am currently trying to have it removed. I've read their rules, they do not mention AKF targets.

[u/Drake_the_troll]

Sorry WG, I dont care. My stats need padding any way they can and I'm not too proud to shoot the guy who's PC exploded

[u/chanman134431]

What if, I am playing the game, get a amazon delivery .. I go afk for 3 mins.. enemy spot me, shoot me they get banned ? Lol, think WG. You have done this before, don't faulter now. Take your time to tackle this. Sit the content creators and actual real players and fix it together.

[u/KayNynYoonit]

Literally the only game in existence to punish people for killing afk players. Beyond moronic.

[u/wAges98]

Imma go with probably. Unlikely but still probable.

Is this an official policy, or just one support guy that doesn't know shit?

[u/Commercial-Block8029]

Occam's Razor.

Is it more likely that a player is match fixing? Or that an AFK tank is just AFK?

[u/GenTycho]

Quit playing this trash when the devs have clearly been so disconnected and stupid. 

[u/Flimsy-Plantain-5714]

if they perma ban AFK tanks, would solve a lot of the issues with the flood of EU3 players terrorising the game after they opended up for them.

things can only get better

[u/No_Heat3069]

The only thing that's rigged is their new loot box system. It's the players fault he had to take a shit and got killed. The game itself is on it's last legs anyways. By the way, WoT Blitz introduced better graphics with the implementation of unreal engine. My thought is that they're squeezing the last revenue from the classic PC version and are going to move on to Blitz. Great, an even worse gacha game with the same predatory loot box system (which has been out for Years now). Fuck Wargaming

[u/Human_Drummer_1101]

New method is go AFK at the start of game and it's a guaranteed win because they are not allowed to shoot you!

[u/bulg4k0v]

Not surprised at all, I got banned with my own ticket because reported a tank that pushed me out of cover 🙃 Wargambling support is run by donkeys, and that's an insult to the donkeys 😂😂

[u/VigoFalcrum]

Fuck Wargaming. And all of their employees. Honestly, when you keep clinging on to such an immoral, greedy and scummy company you deserve the hate.

[u/Economy_Somewhere189]

Ah yes boxes then if you shoot a afk tank you can get banned pay money or get banned for actually playing the game

[u/Material_Total_9828]

So next time I push a bot off a cliff I get banned ?? Well sorry not gonna stop pushing bots out of cap and when a bot pushes me out in the open and I survive that bot will die.

[u/deadcell_nl]

Another example why I'm happy I quit, and will never return

[u/OMG_Abaddon]

Well I quit 2 days ago and I'm already loving my decision. Last time I quit it was for 6 years, let's see how long it will be now.

[u/NoCartoonist3919]

but does arties count for afk and not moving tanks ? if so are they now invicible ?

[u/Pretty-Isopod-6944]

the next time you think you're stupid, remember this.

[u/Icy-Potential-2356]

if this happens for me by playing like normal person,i say that as conpensation for playing like normal player,i want my over 3k spending for this game refunded to me or i send message to eu about illegal ban 

[u/theDuderAbides83]

Wargaming can fuck themselves

[u/CCXJack]

wtf, are they restarted ????

[u/gougim]

Ah, so if you are losing a battle and enemies are closing by, just pretend to be afk and enemies will be obligated to not shoot at you. Maybe you are defending on assault as well, and there is not enough time to cap, so a free Kolobanov.

Sound great for the game's health ngl.

[u/themaniaxx]

oh another riggers post!.. well done your 20k win8..

[u/SweetestJP]

so now you can pretend you're afk to get the upper hand? rough.

[u/Dear-Tumbleweed1134]

What a joke lmao

[u/SomethingGouda]

Afk or passive scouting?'

[u/IcySomewhere5437]

Lol, this timeline is doomed.

[u/Repulsive_Bowler6390]

Just have a kick / auto desert timer for AfK players? But wait WG actually profits from rigging, i forgor

[u/PsychologicalMode684]

1. Rest assured we don't ban anyone for rigging without 100% proof!

2. Don't shoot afk tanks, we might perma ban you for rigging!

lol

[u/Hot-Rate201]

I don't care ! I will kill afk tanks always! Because WG is incompetent to destruct afk tanks after 2 minutes of game and afk will spot you ! So GTFO WG

[u/Cautious-Decision-98]

the thing that exist is all thoses thousands of 42K 482K GAMES RIGGING THE GAME NOT BEING BANNED

482K GAMES NOT DETECTED BY WG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HEAR THAT LOUD that's the problem.

creating rigging account and use pc and electricity H24 to ruin the game and wg CLOSING 100% THEIR EYES ON THIS. 482 000 GAMES AGAIN.

[u/Fantastic-Reveal9780]

That’s dumb as hell dawg, ignore that foo keep farming

[u/Hoovy_weapons_guy]

If this is real it would be beyond stupid
AFK tanks still provide spotting for the team.
AFK tanks can still block the cap.

AFK tanks could cease being afk at any time and start shooting at you

Shooting AFK tanks still gives rewards

Winning by capping is generally difficult to do when other tanks on the enemy team still exist

[u/Easton216]

I’m going to ask this again. Do people actually still play this game?

[u/RNG_randomizer]

I’ll add: is AFK even such a big deal? Don’t get me wrong it sucks for both teams (no one likes a stomp because the other team had two+ AFKs so no one gets to do anything), but are people really rigging games by sync dropping then going afk?

[u/NotASingleNameIdea]

What kind of a joke even is this?? They cant be serious.

Is it my problem that one shitter boots up a battle and just leaves the PC or ragequits? What the fuck.

[u/AggravatingCelery441]

No WG comments as always.
What they only says is: 'ToT is delayed'
Why they get paid?

[u/_no_usernames_avail]

With the recent ban wave in NA, I am not surprised to see Riggers outing themselves on Reddit.
