Have you tried subtracting those that have been inactive for over 6 months and got their accounts scrubbed? I'd say more like 50. Even that may be stretching it It is 2023. The game is dead. It isn't 2016 or whenever this game was actually good

@ImAtWork Try posting the same question under Questions to Developers as well

I don't believe there is. You could ask the developers about it.

@S.M.S.M I got a player banned for hacking with a minute-video just this week. Also, he said that the hacker keeps joining, hacking, then leaving. He can't gather enough evidence, in terms of length, to get him banned.

Yes, based off of turret and hull level

Matchmaking in this game has caused many players to quit or remain highly inactive, such as myself. It is really unfortunate that this feature was removed as I think it has something to do with tanki rigging the game so buyers win more often. However, I feel that the decision to remove that nostalgic feature (which was before I ever started playing tanki offline) leads to its own set of issues primarily being that players would invite all their friends in a game to prey on a team of lower skilled players. The current matchmaking system does limit that to some extend, but seeing tanki's developers and their thought process, this issue likely never crossed their mind though. Regardless, tanki needs to balance the matchmaking system as well as removing certain maps such as Berlin, Dusseldorf, Highways, Magistral, and Yorkshire as they promot camping meta and disappointing gameplay.

This is unacceptable, tanki! Not only doesn't your game operate properly, it also contains inappropriate images. Maybe your developers need a ban just like we all receive from time to time?

Here's just one instance: [removed]

Tanki online has been infected by hackers left and right and now hackers have taken total control over parkour. Should the anti cheat system be reactivated?

I watched last week's vlog too. I disliked the vlog. I think it's stupid they disabled it. They are indirectly promoting hacking in parkour. If you look carefully, there were multiple hackers in the video. I think hacking should get you banned regardless of where it takes place.

[Video removed] Tanki allows hacking in parkour. That's just terrible!!

I have a friend who wants discuss and issue with a certain moderation team corresponding to the issue and they have been ignoring her for over 3 days. Note that she contacted the chat administrators already. What should She do next?

Probably a hack. I was using mammoth and got one-shotted by a ricochet once. Despite using armor and max Brutus drone.

Game issues are quite regular now.

@PirateSpider Friends wanted me to return and a different game of mine was shut down

It doesn't help that people use third party software to harm the functioning of MM either. Such software programs can be used to hack into MM and flood it with tons of bots programmed to suck at the game. Players buy the bots and the software will hack into the game, remove players from the opposing team, and replace them with bots so that people who buy them have an unfair advantage.

@UnIeash The reasons why I took a week off from this game in the first place. Another game I played got shut down. Edit: There are about another 10-15 reasons, but they would likely get removed by those who are paid to say that tanki is perfect. Some are regarded as conspiracy theories by most, but I think they are still probably true.

I decided to return, but I am still on edge with this game.

Can anyone explain this?

@TheCongoSpider Ever played matchmaking and had teammates that are worse than you can imagine real players being? That's almost every game for me. I don't have any proof on me (but I wish I did)

I recently took a week-long break from tanki and I finally returned a few days ago just to see that the game is even worse now than it was a week ago. I now see that one team has a lot of real players and the other team always has a bunch of bots and only a few real players. The difference is that bots use insanely low GS, never use supplies, never use the chat, never do the objective, almost never even attack the opposing team, etc. Even when I was new to the game, I still was able to do a much better job and I am still bad at this game yet to this day. What I am creating this topic for is where we can discuss the sources/programs that people use to purchase bots to hack into the game and kick players out from the buyer's battle and replace about 1/3 of the buyer's opponents with these bots programmed to suck at the game. The buyer wants to have an easy win and these bots make it very easy for them. Since I see so much of this, I suspect one of two things. The first being that tanki doesn't care about it. The second being that tanki doesn't enforce the rules. I will discuss the second suspicion later, but I will discuss the first suspicion now. I suspect that tanki doesn't care about it is because it encourages more people to spend more money so they can overpower the other team despite the bots as teammates. The second reason is that it is supposed to be against the rules. Here are the rules that this violates: 2.1.2. Application or distribution of third-party software or other means for improvement/automation of game possibilities (bots, cheats), as well as programs that may deteriorate the functioning of the Game and/or the functioning of electronic devices of third persons; 2.1.8. Transfer of the Account or other game values to third persons; publication of any offers to sell, buy, or transfer the Account or in-game property, 2.2.4. Posting links to sites/hostings containing 3rd party software (cheats, programs, clients, etc.), spreading links to sites containing software that changes the game’s functionality or promises to do so; 2.1.9. Conspiracy – organizing battles to gain experience points and/or crystals from battle funds, through having inactive or succumbing players in a battle. If you guys want to discuss your thoughts here about this idea, then feel free to do so. If I forgot a rule that it violates, then please call me out on it and I will thank you, then I will add it to the post.

I cannot stand this game anymore! This game isn't even fun anymore. I am leaving or taking a break from tanki online for several different reasons: 1. Matchmaking- It just isn't even fun. The matchmaking system thinks I am such hot crap because I have a "high" GS. All I did was max brutus drone. I am not that strong nor am I that good. My GS is in the 6k-7k range and the opposing team always has more people in that range and lot of people in the 4k range while my team is 3k or lower. Usually my team has 0-20% of the points as the other team and we lose due to mercy rule. It just isn't fun. 2. Mistreatment- I am a player who likes to be on the support end. When I use support nanobots for isida, I am called a noob for low KD. When I use healing emitters for shaft, I am called a "usless camper." I am also called a bot because my team from the first reason was so bad that we lost by so much. Then when I come on the chats and forum to discuss my frustrations, I am just constantly accused of being an alternate account of Bowser448 and we really aren't the same person. 3. Other games are just better. I play several different games and all of them are just better than tanki in my opinion and aren't pay to win like this one is 4. I am just too busy to handle it all. I am in college studying engineering and college is rather difficult. I would rather spend my free time playing games that I actually enjoy. So to conclude it, I find tanki more depressing than enjoyable and I would rather play different games and focus on college. To end on a positive note, I still plan on occasionally checking the forum and write a few messages. It isn't certain that I'll quit for good. I may return one day, but it probably won't be for many weeks or even several months. Goodbye everyone! - Brandorrrr

One of my friends got banned for six months for jokingly calling me stupid. It was very clear he didn't mean that offensively.

It can be. I have healing emitters for shaft and heal teammates and similar statements get pointed towards me. Camping can be annoying though. I think you crossed the line a bit. You deserved to be banned an hour at most.

@Jeers4U I know which member you are talking about. I reported the muahaha! monster 3 days ago for CLEAR infractions of the rules on the forum and they still haven't published the topic yet. I think might be a problem for all the other communities too.
