So I see you are getting back to your old vicious habits of being insulting and condescending.  I'm sure glad you're not a moderator any more...one of the only good decisions Tanki has made in the last few years.[...]

Aww, you remember me, that is so cute. You seem to know a lot about me (I don;t recall TO being part of my decision, if it was not you saying it, then I would have said that someone is staring a rumour).
TO do make good decision, that is a step forward for you to admit it.

This 1.75X  XP is really awful.  It ranks my low account so quickly, there is no way to save up enough crystals to upgrade anything.  I don't want to wreck my low account so I'm going to have to stop playing until this stupid 1.75 thing is over.   Way to go Tanki dolts.

This is good, instead of playing 30 minutes you can play half of it. I don't see that being unproductive nor being a silly event that destroy your low account.
One would indeed favour Crystals versus experience point. There are ways, like doing more battle action that increase the battle score (more crystals) with low experience point: see below

Action	Experience	Battle Score
Destroying a tank	10	15
Participating in destroying a tank	5	5
Self-destruction	0	-10
Healing a player with Isida	5	15
Capturing a Flag	10	75
Returning a Flag	5	10
Participating in the delivery of a flag	5	25
Scoring a touchdown in Rugby	10	75
Participating in scoring a touchdown in Rugby	5	25
Participating in the capturing a control point	5	15
Participating in neutralizing a control point	5	10
Destroying a Juggernaut	10	50

And there is that way: 30xp but 13k cry?
And that way too (catching GB and not ranking up) https://ratings.tankionline.com/en/user/brs

Earning more crystals than experience is good strategy beyond doubt.

Hey thanks, that is a very helpful list.  OK, Imma buy me an Isida, cap flags, and score touchdowns for the next couple of weeks! 

Do you happen to know the same type of information for ASL and Siege?  I'd like to put this complete list in my Tanki file...very handy, thanks

How in the hell do you get Mk6 hull and turret at Rank3?  This guy has played 435 hours and only has 1021XP.  I know he is a gold digger, but damn Mk6!  And he has spent almost two and a half hours in battles for every gold box he's caught...how friggin' BORING!  Just goes to show ya, everyone has their own way of playing Tanki

[The_Pakistani 16,768]

99% enemies with fully mued drones n with 50% modules. Left many battles..

Unfortunately no, all of this is from the wiki Matchmaking System page. You will have to experiment yourself. Rule of thumb would be the more important the action the better battle score. With with congospider we came to estimate 30 battles score points for participating on destroying the Juggernaut and 5 experience point, this seems likely as all the exp are either 5 or 10. I would expect ASL  and siege mains objectives to be 10 and support actions 5 too.
Siege is closer to capping flag than capping control points, so 50-75 points.

Do the arithmetic properly, that guy has caught 1045 golds, he has played the game for 436 hours. that means that he has caught roughly 2 and a half golds every hour. 

Nothing wrong with that and having mk6 at his rank. He could be a buyer.

oops, I was looking at his previous gold catches not his total...I'm dumb.  But even two golds an hour is BORING when all you are doing is waiting like a vulture. 

I still can't figure out how he got his Mk6 at that rank.   He is obviously a buyer, but even the Keeper kit (Smoky/Titan) has never been offered below Rank4 even from the Shop as far as I know.  If he did somehow get a Keeper that could explain it in conjunction with the conversion to Mk...M1-10 converted to an Mk6 I guess.  Man if this guy ever decides to fight that account he is going to dominate the battles.  Imagine a fully MUed Mk6 with protection mods, DD, and DA marauding and pillaging poor innocent Rank3s with their Mk1-2s...just brutal.

I just went to the Matchmaking page in the Wiki.  This is from the page....I thought you all might get a good laugh:

Advantages of Matchmaking System

• In the literal sense, the matchmaking system makes it impossible to send a mult into the enemy team. You will no longer need to worry about someone possibly playing for the other team (a.k.a sabotaging his/her own team) in any battle.
• In the matchmaking system, every battle will start from exactly seven minutes. Joining a battle in the middle is still possible, but the system favors creating new battles more than making people join battles that are already underway.
• The teams in Matchmaking battles will be almost always full right from when the battle begins - the system tries to fill up empty slots in battles as fast as possible.

[Viking4s 10,791]

Did not have to drop today. Many gold boxes opportunities.

Those are the "Expectations" !

now here is the "Reality":

• In the literal sense, the matchmaking system makes it possible to bring your buyers clan with you into a Juggernaut mode, thus make it impossible for the other random team to win, no matter how hard they play, and the faster your internet connection the higher the chance of you being the Jugger.
• In the matchmaking system, every battle will start from exactly seven minutes. BUT you will NEVER be there at 7 min because you will be stuck in the loading screen from 3 up to 5 minutes, and you will always be forced to join the loser team with 3 flags already capped by the other team, thus make it really hard for you to enjoy the battle or get stars.
• The teams in Matchmaking battles will be almost NEVER full right from when the battle begins - and there is always some dude with wasp and sprinter drone that will cap the flag BEFORE you even spawn.

There are a lot of Hornets in Siege today. Here's a snapshot of our Hornet brigade defending the point against the big mean attackers. 

 

 

 

Remember to keep them happy and healthy. 

 

[Joeguy 941]

Yeah, I played a few battles and my poor low rank acct just ranks up way too quickly with this 1.75X  XP.  I really would like to play my low rank acct because I have a nice edge with it since it was highly MUed when the Mk conversion hit.  It's got equipment far beyond what it should have for it's current rank...I'm not going to throw that edge away by ranking up almost 2X as fast.

I'm gonna start a new account to play for the next couple of weeks to grind through the Challenges and Special Missions...too bad in a way, but maybe it will be fun ranking up really fast.  I wanna get it to at least Rank11 to grab the two "Because We Love You" containers.  I need a good name for the account; any suggestions?

 

Maybe    "Because.We.Love.You"    or    "Road.to.WO1"

if you are the juggernaut with overdrive ready, yes, other 15 player just watch.

 

so become a juggenaout first then drop gold, mostly like you can get one gold in 1-2 trys, take less than 30 min

Many of them with splash damage. It is easier to get battle score by killing than capping the siege points. That's the weak point of Siege.

[wild001 1,422]

Hornet with Guass Snipe on overdrive w boost drone , one shot kill 6 titans and vikings on drug under titan dome at the point.

 

time to buy guass next sale, it beats Rail, Thunder, Shaft, Stricker, Magnet in term of one shot damage output with long distance hidden shot without a trace

Pretty sure it's random.  Correct me if I'm wrong.

And IF you actually become the JUG and drop a gold, and it ends up in enemy territory (50% chance) - you gonna charge over there for < 50% chance of retrieving and likely give enemy team another KILL?  kind of sabotage IMO.

[The_Pakistani 16,768]

Yesterday didn't took gold box all stolen by noob dictators, today took in 1st battle. They should change 17/17 to 15/17 at least.
