I think it is as simple as wiping a zero off. A full match bonus improves a team by 10% not 100%; I would even be happy with 20%.

There is lots of talk around match bonuses and initially I was in favour of keeping it but now I want to see it removed from league matches and tournaments! Last season I was in the top level championship, level 13, and soon realized most teams were playing with a hefty bonus as I was getting trashed by teams that I would easily beat in friendlies with the same tactics.

I decided to not to waste my cash and use it for upgrading and accepted that I wouldn't get promoted hoping that when the new season starts I would be more competitive. Today was the 1st match of new season, what happens I got thrashed 42-0 and I played with a 30% match bonus!

This game is no longer about skill and tactics it is about who is stupid enough to play 100% MB.

I still believe that the MB should be retained for guild challenges if there is no reform in matching guilds against each other i.e. selecting guilds of similar star ratings. That would make the guild challenges more interesting and competitive. If reform of GvG happens then there is no place for MB at all.

I am now thinking along the lines of last season and accept defeat but get loads of cash, the alternative is to accept the inevitable and leave the game. I don't want to leave as the chat with other guild members is great and on the forum as well but ultimately the game is about pitting wits against each other and seeing who comes out on top but MB is really screwing this up!

Please can we have some time scales on when a decision is going to be made!

That's all that's needed. Nothing really wrong with the idea, just the size of the effect.

People go on about the hard work put in by the top teams. Lower teams put in hard work too.

Seems to me that those crying loudest are those with the deepest pockets.

Match bonus is another variable - live with it. It is available to everyone both 'rich and poor'.

Waspy Tiger :




Completely wrong - it's the big boys that use it most in my experience - they've nothing else to use the money on, and they use it to prevent an upset and prevent people who have invested a lot of time into developing superior tactics from getting the results they deserve. It's a cheat's charter.

Just get rid of it, simple as that. Admin read ideas posts.... It's already been discussed. You are 2months late to the part and people have already quit the game because of the joke that is match bonus.

If your so angry about it, then why do you still play? I doubt it's healthy for you to be so upset at a online game!
It's also been here since day one and its a part of the game. It's not ideal, true, hence these discussions.

I just wonder if GVG was never introduced would this have been such an emotive subject? But it is here now, GVG, and the constant draws are diminishing the enjoyment for most players. There needs to be more to the game than just log in, set builds, set bonus, log out. Most people expressing an opinion on this are players who have tried to maximise their in game abilities, and the lack of any semblance of gratification "in game" is making people lose interest. MB may be the issue now, but there needs to more strings to the game.
