Yes you are true all most all the battle's are kind of like that I am not aware of the previous xp/bp battle's as I am new to xp/bp format. I am also one of the player who caps during uneven fight
Reason:
Mostly if a player leave's the battle it hardly takes time for another player to join. I hardly find a player missing until I press the tab button
Lag's they really irritate a lot now it has become more. Yes you are right everyone says lagger noob and even that is happening to a lot of players not just some tankers. And because of this there are a lot of mults too in the game.You can't wait seriously for each player to end up with his lag and then start playing,if you want to do it like that you need to play 1 hours game like 3 hours and it annoy's s lot. You hardly can enjoy playing in such a way
Communication between the other tanker or your envy tanker is also important in here,almost all the en tankers play in ru 1(xp/bp).The Russian player's can't understand what en guy is saying and en can't understand what Russian is saying.
Battle fund as it gets growing no player want's to wait for the other player to join other team they just want to end the battle and get the fund particularly if there are more m2 's then m3 's in there own team. Who wants a pro to join your envy team when you got a lot of noobs in your team??
Long battles as they keep on going the battle gets intense and if you know that your team will loose for sure all start praying for gold box and once it drops all start leaving one by one in the same way if you are in the winning team and all your envy players keep leaving the battle then what's the point of waiting for other players because u made a large difference in the scores. Hardly any player will join and if he joins he will wait till gold box and then he leaves
Gold box hunter's as the Tanki is growing the craze for gold box hunting also they only come for hunting the gold boxes they just become mults till gold drops and if they are unable to catch gold they keep abusing and leave after certain time
Player's from major rank to general are mostly considered noob players because of the m2 rail it is in not as effective as m3. For sure the penetration power, impact force and reloading time for m3 is better than m2. So,the team which has more number of m2 s try to win when the team is unbalanced.
These are all the reasons I consider why the battle's become unfair not only format but also non-format
The only reason I guess this is happening is because of the greed of crystals,as we know all the discount's have been greatly reduced so the hunger of crystals and gold box hunting gradually increased
We can't blame tanki for all this stuff because if they bring the discount's back there might be no tanki at all
