Respect to your writing ability. Almost convinced me that being a drugger is bad. Then I imagined the lack of enjoyment one would get out of Tanki without drug wars.

 

And then, I decided once and for all. Drugging is, in most circumstances, awesome.

Thanks man. Writing is kinda a knack for me.

Generalissimos usually start drugg wars when they have like 1000 of Each. I have watched them drugg on youtube.

To stop druggers, is to create a mine field with friends. I got to admit, I am also a drugger, I drugg tier 3. And mine is my weakness. Especially when you have hornet. run Runover it, and it explodes behind you making you very unstable resulting to flipping. Right now, I have over 300 of each. I only use them when others drugg and when I am in a battle with lieutenants and majors. I am the kind of guy that gives warning before drugging.

m8 no one cares drugs are meant to be used for fun  just becuase you cant drug doesn't mean others cant...

Guys, you are being so harsh on druggers! They are not so bad, even before smart cooldowns. I am not one myself, but it does not mean they have no skills. They enjoy the game, so they spend a bit of money to enhance their opportunities. They payed to make the game better for themselves. Being a drugger is not so simple is as smacking 2-3-4. It takes real money. In fact, they should be respected and honored, because without druggers, the game would not exist. The devs have to eat right? What are you talking about, drugger wall of shame!? They are warriors of virtue!

u see,not all druggers are noobs,especially not people from the best clan in TO ^-^

Haha bringing this up again :p

 

When I'm in game most people call druggers noobs as soon as they are being trounced by them - the excuse is 'they need to drug to win'... Not really an argument is it :p

 

It's a bit like being beaten in an exam having not revised, and then calling that person a Noob for revising because he 'needs to revise to do well'

People are calling druggers noob because they are jealous they don't have the power ups to counter us. It's our drugs, you can't tell us when to use it or not.

It's probably because abusing the privilege of drugs ruins the fun.

Have you ever walked into a battle and seen a mass of enemy players all on full powerups? Have you ever been in a great battle and have had one or two players start mashing the 2,3,4 keys? What did you do after that? Rage quit? Try to keep up before quitting? If so, you are not alone. Many an epic battle has been RUINED by these pathetic noobs, who are so scared of not being in first place that they must use powerups to feel good (AKA Use drugs). Just like real drugs, these powerups give the user a "high" of being able to mow down all the other players who play normally. This thread will seek to "study" this epidemic of druggers, and why their actions are ruining a great game.  

 

What is a drugger?: A drugger can be defined as a tanki player that uses the game's powerups almost the entire battle. There are four "tiers" of druggers:

 

TIER ONE: The drugger uses some or all three drugs while getting a flag, no other time. We've all done this, it can be forgiven. 

 

TIER TWO: The drugger uses one or two powerups (e.g. power or armor) nonstop. 

 

TIER THREE: The drugger uses all powerups at once, nonestop. Unfortunately, this is becoming very common. 

 

TIER FOUR: The worst, this drugger uses all drugs at once, AND uses a kit, giving them better equipment at a lower rank, just because they can use mommy's credit card to pay cash for a freakin' internet game. 

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Why do druggers do what they do? I believe it is a two part cause: 1) they like being able to destroy others easier, and 2) The latest Tanki update made many turrets weaker and kits and drugs cheaper. The latter is what I think is causing more and more druggers to appear. Their former turrets are just not cutting it anymore, so the drugs come into play. 

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

How can you combat a drugger? The perfect weapon to stop a drugger is Freeze. It severely slows them down, allowing your team to overwhelm them. Also, place down lots of mines, as this can flip over druggers. A flipped drugger does zero damage. DONT DRUG BACK. This encourages the drugger and starts a "drug war", where only powerups are used. 

 

If the battle fund is low, leave. Dont bother fighting the losers. Druggers can cause hair loss, throat problems, skin lesions, and an enlarged prostrate.  

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

DRUGGERS' ARGUMENTS AND WHY THEY ARE POINTLESS: 

 

"Thats why drugs are there is to be used!" -Yes, maybe to go get a flag or something. NOT to use forever. 

 

"You are just mad cause you lost" -Im mad because you think hitting a few keys makes you better than others. 

 

"Haha noobs!" -Who is the noob, the guy who has played for years without drugging, or the guy that has played for 15 minutes using nonstop druggs. 

 

"Duuhhhhh me drugger, me hit keys cause im gooder than you, harharhar me dumb" Can't argue with ya there, champ. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

WHAT CAN YOU DO OUTSIDE THE GAME TO HELP: Push for a new update limiting the amounts of drugs allowed to be used in-game. Also, if you see druggers, write down their names and add them to the DRUGGER LIST OF SHAME!!! see below)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A MESSAGE TO DRUGGERS: Dear noobs, you may think you are good at this game, but you are not. Just because you can hit 2,3,4 with your fat little fingers or use mommy's credit card to buy drugs and kits does not make you better than the other players that have played for a long time without spending a single cent. You have no skill at all, friends, and when you get to the real world, you will see you cant just hit keys to be better. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Am I taking this too far? Maybe, but Im sick of these people ruining the game. Agree with me? Got some names to add to the list of shame? Reply back! 

 

 

Have a nice day

Who said we don't like non-druggers?

Drugs are part of the game, it's really kinda simple. I use my drugs... That's what they are there for- to be used..

It's weird why people are complaining about people using drugs... Have you never used a drug before?

People get upset when they lose a large fund to druggers right? You can drug back you know? It's a good time to drug when the fund is large..

I agree we should drug when fund is large.BTW I'm a 1.5 tier drugged.What about you?

[Cor7y 13,862]

Bro then don't u use drugs which u get from daily bonus? Huh? Huh?
