After all the "testing" for tournaments, you still haven't done anything about SP droppers like this

Looks like he's able to run the table every battle and put up about 900 points per round. Let's be perfectly clear, this is cheating and you have looked the other way for far too long. If you can't prevent it it's time to punish this behavior.

They aren't ever going to fix it. It's been a problem for over three years now...

I know, I've been around for at least that long. Just calling out the ongoing bulls**t.

Hello! Please avoid explicit language, as it's prohibited on the forum.

We are working on the Matchmaking system, and more updates are yet to be released. Our team hopes that the issue will be significantly resolved. 

I understand that it's been a long time since we announced that the pairing system is being repaired, but it takes much more time and effort than it may seem. The good news is that the work is in active progress 🪛

Apologies CD. I didn't think about BS being prohibited language. I'm not exactly optimistic since we've been hearing the same excuse for several years now. Why is it so hard to make this a T&C violation or bracket all of these cheaters together when they drop from a 10k+ hanger to 1500 when doing tournaments? Unless there are repercussions, these people will continue to "CHEAT". They are exploiting a loophole. I'm seeing the pattern repeat itself nearly every week, today included.

If you would have used the word B#llSh@t (BS) in a positive way you would have never been warned. Deal with shady people, get shady results!

Oh and btw, I stopped playing for about a month and the second I log back in I'm greeted with a survey about how much money I think Mechs and Weapons are worth!? What is this BS?? The game is broken in so many ways, the game system needs some love and the worry that grants an IN GAME SURVEY is asking about REAL LIFE MONEY! Wtf is wrong with you people?

I can't share much yet, but it took a lot of time and effort for us to come up with a possible resolution to the SP dropping issue. All I can say for now is that I understand the reason for your frustration; it's reasonable. Still, I hope that in the near future, you will be surprised by the upcoming changes in this regard.

Not really. Explicit language is prohibited primarily because there are many users under the legal age.

And now I shall voice my opinion. Minus the explicit language, I wholeheartedly agree. Today I was faced with an absurd number of - get this guys - BOTS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. I also saw your cute little short on YouTube about "The bots of mech arena" where it's a cat messing with a laptop. First of all, (and I'm trying to be calm, so please don't call me out for it) how could you get Mech Arena on an Apple laptop? No offense to those guys, but if they can't run an outdated version of Minecraft: Education Edition, there's now way it could run Plarium Play AND Mech Arena. Secondly, this game requires an absurd amount of server power. Even the best servers are in no way cat-proof. Which leads me to this: The bots are in no way AI. They are preprogrammed. "But they're so random!" You might say. Yes, that's true. Because a series of pre-written commands does the randomizing. So I ask you this (and no, I didn't take a screenshot): Why, for the love of all mechs, would you let the randomization randomize up some of this smelly, stinky Hemlock rubble? (Yes, I am using mechs instead of cuss words. I don't want to be banned.) There is this thing called subtraction coding, where you let the commands decide whatever they want EXCEPT for certain parameters. So once you've installed a blockade system (where you could have a program check the individual mech and weapon power ratings , and then block ''em if it's too high) you need to also blockade your programs. Also, please inform the developers that the bot with the name "Dissassembleu" is not nice. Actually, strike that. All the bots are not nice. So, to wrap it up, here's a nice one-sentence summary: Yall's bots need help. 

Have a good day CD. 

And again, please don't penalize me for saying "stinky, smelly pile of Hemlock rubble". I thought it was funny and age appropriate.

Yeah the bots really take away the fun experience this game can offer. The bots need not to be such a major focus for the developers. I understand bots are needed in games that don't have a huge player base, either this game doesn't have a big enough player base or the bots are being used to manipulate match outcomes (mech arenas version of sbmm).. majority of the time, any time of any day it's a bot dominant lobby/match. Most the people with complaints about matchmaking are closer to my SP than the bots or maxed players you put me against but I don't ever see the hundreds or thousands of people at my lvl that are on here and everywhere else complaining about the same things.. I don't get it, it's a PvP game with lots of players but 90% of the matches on any day at any time are full of bots. PvP is where the fun is at, the bots ruin it.

Hello! Thanks a lot for your message; no penalty is needed here.

I understand what you are talking about. All I can say for now is that the changes are coming. These changes will affect all the mentioned weak points. It's a bit early for me to share anything more regarding this, but more information is on the horizon 👌
