Fed up Tripls best rankings preying on newcomers

Anyone noticed how all the highest ranking players get their rankings through playing as triples with their mates and waiting to pick up disorganised beginner newcomers - very easy that way to get the best ranking - Club needs two sepearet rankings, one gained on their own merit, another for working as teams and picking off the easy prey - this should not count towards the individual ranking.
As a major given up team triples as dont stand a chance against organised opposition playing together to improve their ranking

Anyone else out there feel the same??? [-X

I feel the same about that as I do about players who feed on ? players for easy points.

It is their time they are wasting for a few extra points with little challenge. If they don't mind it more power to them, I'm not going to worry about it.

If the team that joined 1st is a bunch of low ranks, then I would have to agree somewhat, as this is fairly similar to a farming method.

But if the three organized teammates join the game 1st, their is absolutely no issue in the matter. Just because the people who joined the games are bad doesnt mean its the faults of those who started the game. It is the "noobs" choice to join that game and no one is forcing them to play better players on this site, their choice. If you look around though, a lot of games more recently have similar ranked teams going at it as it makes for more strategical games and equal point win/loss. But you cannot blame team 1 in any team game for outmatched opponents joining their games, its not something they can control...

still, if you look at the stats you will see that guys who play individual single games against 4 or more players rarely get beyond the rank of Major/colonel cos its much harder - the brigadiers of the world usually get their rank either playing one on one, team games or a spurious map the competition are not familiar with - that unfortunately is just the way it is.

"Several" perhaps, but not "all" for sure. Overstatements won´t help you if you try to fight farmers. Go with the facts and more people will listen to you. By using overstatements you lose a lot of readers already in line 1, who maybe would agree with you otherwise.

seulessliathan - No idea what your point is, but looking at your last page of games you have only played team games, hence the colonel rank.

As for Gold Knight - its amazing how there are so many high ranked players operating in groups awaiting players on the same map/scenario, when they could so easily have opted just to play the existing high ranked players on that map layout.

Of course the newbie's/inexperienced players often join those games as cannon fodder without even knowing what they are getting into.

Seriously think points awarded when won as a team effort should only count for half the weight as individual.
