Force quit and airplane mode is cheating.

Why is there an option to retreat then?

Ethics aside, how do you intend to remove that? You know, the moment you interrupt connection you won't send battle data.

Unless you propose a save every 1-5 seconds, which is excessive both for your device and the servers.

I would guess that button was implemented long before TW and GA were released and was intended for Galactic War and perhaps raids.

The teams are AI controlled. I see no reason not to give them this successful defense reward.

Because as stated above, a signal loss or app crash would also result in TM load, when it's no fault of the user (usually).

TM loading is a pretty big penalty to begin with, when you think about it. And in fact, there's strategy involved in deciding when to post a result and when to not post it.

Finally, the devs have never said anything about it. No different than shard chats.

Yeah it is. My team gained victory and TM so they should keep it. Force close and airplane mode is pure cheating. Remove that.

I believe that when you force quit, you lose the round and the players used. I have no problem if someone wants to concede 15 points.

The Airplane mode is lame. That's borderline because if I'm not mistaken, you don't get an L and you retain the squad.

This is wrong. You do get an L and you do lose the squad. Which is why I see no problem with it.

You can split crash from airplane mode and/or retreat. If it was intended to be in game they would have a "fight for no negative consequences" button.

I dont belive its cheating because the game allows it. But it penalizes strong defensive teams because you can "test" as much as you want against them.

You lose banners from both the first and second battles if you do this. That seems like enough of a penalty to me.

Not true @VonZant . Max banners is 20 first try, 15 second, and 10 third and up.

Its cheating that someone only killed one of my characters? how dare them only kill 1 .

My team is so great I should get to use 5 of 5 in the next fight because the last guy didnt kill my whole team.

Its cheating because all my guys dont come back to life and start all future combat with 100% tm

That's what u sound like

Ok its not cheating its exploit. This TM my team won fairly is now taken away cuz someone used exploit. If they don't take away my tm it would be hell for them. I get penalty for setting good defense cuz of this exploit. Remove it!

No that would be a bad design decision. Some teams become all but unbeatable if they get preloaded TM. You shouldn't have an entire victory in TW decided because 1 player underestimated a team.

Yes you should cuz you were the master strategist and not him!

That's just poor game design.

What do you call allowing people to fake an out of game service interruption to their in-game advantage?
