My complaint (since this was the 'new complaints thread' designed to remain after the old thread was receiving 75% of the traffic...) is that I'm not allowed to ask this very valid question...

just some players.

the game (and pretty much everything on the internet) is biased against those with a poor internet connection and/or those who stay a long way away from the servers

i agree. or im sorry that happened.

Let’s be real.. the current crystal reward system is broken.

It punishes tactical, skill-based players and rewards brainless gameplay like running into the point over and over. In several matches, I’ve scored 30+ kills with only 1 or 2 deaths. I’ve killed multiple Juggernauts in a single match. I carry the team, I dominate the battlefield, and yet I walk away with a few hundred crystals while players who died 20+ times get 3–4x more. 

Does this mean that you get a higher reward if you die many times on the battlefield?
 

Examples from my own games:

– 37 kills / 2 deaths = 1177 crystals
– 29 kills / 1 death = 737 crystals

Meanwhile someone with 18+ deaths and lower kill count gets over 3000 crystals because they sat on the point like a bot. How is that even close to fair?

This is not just unbalanced, it’s insulting to skilled players.

 

NOW LET's TALK ABOUT REALITY FOR NON-PREMIUM PLAYERS:

• We don’t get doubled crystals

• We get no extra bonus for performance

• We grind for hours just to afford a single drone or (whatever) upgrade

• It takes tens of thousands of crystals just to level up ONE module

• The system is designed to slow our progress to keep us playing longer

And worst of all? Even if we play 10x better than the rest of the lobby.. we still get short-changed.

 

Logic:

1. Shouldn’t the guy with the most kills, highest accuracy, and best K/D get the highest reward?
2. Shouldn’t Juggernaut kills, killstreaks, zero-death matches, or MVP status actually count for something?

Instead, we’re stuck with this outdated formula that barely differentiates between skilled play and average participation.

 

THIS IS MINE SUGGESTED SOLUTION: Performance-Based Crystal Rewards

The game should reward performance, not passive participation. Here’s a simple proposal:

• Tank Kill: 100 crystals (per tank destroyed)

• Juggernaut Kill: 300 crystals

• Killstreak Bonuses (5/10/15): 200 / 400 / 800

• No deaths in match: 500 crystal bonus

• K/D Ratio above 10: 800 bonus

• MVP (top 3 performers): +25% of total

• Match victory bonus: +15%

• Objective-based rewards: still included, but not the main source

Premium users can still get their x2  that’s fine. But non-premium players who play smart, survive, and dominate should not be left behind.. give us something that makes sense for our grind. It’s not a “free-to-play” model when you're giving players free-to-suffer mechanics.

 

Tanki is a skill-based game.. Then why does the system reward us like we’re bots?

We don’t mind grinding.. but we want respect for the way we play.. This isn’t just about crystals.. It’s about fairness, respect and making the game rewarding for those who actually take the time to master it. If a player with 29 kills and 1 death is getting less than someone who died 27 times, then the system is fundamentally flawed. We don’t want handouts... We want recognition for the skill, precision and strategy we bring to the battlefield. Either you start rewarding actual effort and performance, or you’ll continue losing players who are tired of being ignored just because they don’t swipe a card.

I am not begging, I am demanding what is fair for everyone!

Fix the system.

Respect the grind.

Reward the skill. 

Respect your most dedicated players.

Topic merged

im sorry but i fail to see why you merged that topic into this one. now the entire conversation seems out of place. it doesn't make sense. it took me so long to find the original post.

it could have easily been a new topic within "game discussion" if you didn't want it to remain in "ideas & suggestions".

there _has_ to be a better way to go about this. and i vaguely remember suggesting that if mods are merging topics/posts, they should specify where the original thread is from. and if it's a topic, then the title should also be mentioned.

i think retirement has done wonders for my life. i am happy to report that i have graduated into a full-time internet troll!

You quickly realize where tanki would rather spend its time moderating based on where they assign the numbers of helpers.

idk the exact reason behind having so many chat mods - from what i can see, they're including people from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds to avoid punishing unfairly.

this can't be compared to battle moderation, it's a completely different skill set. the requirements are quite strict, and their intake is much lower because there's a lot of power that comes with the position. making mistakes in other positions does not have a major impact on the gaming experience for players, but mistakes in battle moderation can stop you from playing the game altogether.

oh come on this game has 5 people im sure they can respond to a single report from time to time.

thats not relevant tbh

even when the 'moderator analysis completed' message appears, the mults are still in battle

this is a legit cause for concern

What's the point of reporting and you guys do absolutely nothing but banning me hours later for who knows what???!!!!! 

have you perhaps considered that there are real humans with real lives out there who respond to reports, and that they may not be available at the exact moment you submitted your report, unfortunately?

interview was just perfect. I read it with great enthusiasm. I ain't that too old in tanki community, so I had only recognize Maf as an old forum administrator. Its really nice to recognize him better now. This interview even inspired me to write about myself. I'll start doing that soon ^^ 

Glad to see that Maf is getting the attention he deserves (or perhaps "craves" is the right word here?)...

Thanks for reading, mate! Looking forward to knowing more about you!
