[2020] Full steam ahead CV

Did you put a report in with the replay attached!?

Do you folks put reports with replays attached!?

This is the biggest issue.

I am not saying you did wrong, because I totally understand at the time you may want to just move on. But we HAVE TO see replays of stuff and build up evidence.

Players that violate our EULA (and I am pretty sure I know how you are talking about), in this case, "unsportsmanlike conduct" don't do so in EVERY battle, so if someone looks at their account and sees normal game play, with some poor play mixed in, we can't really do much.

But if there are A LOT of reports with replays of them doing things that are NOT as intended, then we can.

There is a difference between pushing in a secondary build CV and engaging and just straight up tapping W at the beginning of a match and throwing your ship away.

Also, if you just push in a GZ expecting to live for any amount of time at the start of the match, I would say you're not CV'ing right either however.... Those secondaries should be used for defensive purposes, or more near the end of a match.

-Hapa

Reporting DDs for going into a cap and then failing by being killed is not "not playing the ship as intended" as it IS a DDs job to cap, however, doing that job poorly isn't the problem.

I understand what the OP is talking about, they are talking about a CV driver at the beginning of the match that literally just drives forward at the enemy and dies.

-Hapa

Not necessarily, because the DD driving going into a cap early is trying to do what their job is meant for. Failing and INTENTIONALLY throwing are two different things folks.

-Hapa

Yes necessarily. 100% EVERY DDs job is to cap.

WHEN TO CAP is the choice in the matter.

-Hapa

I have 100% seen this and seen replays.

Though it is NOT as big an issue as some may make it sound. This is why I say put CS tickets in with replays.

Folks,

Many of the comments in this thread are focusing around "what ifs."

I KNOW who some of you are referring to, we ARE looking at them, here is the issue, using qualifying statements like "they always" or "every match" might be the matches you see them.

But when we look at someones logs and they DON'T do that every match and they DON'T always do it. We can't just ban them out right.

Do these players get sanctioned as a result of reports? YES! Do you see this? NO, because we do not discuss that stuff.

It has NOTHING to do with being petty. This would be the same for someone that sits in a BB on the white line the whole match or a DD that sits on the white line the whole match or a player that doesn't like their team so they exit the battle.

These are all rule violations and SHOULD be dealt with because you have a player in a team game literally not playing the game as intended and this is a violation.

And regardless of a canned answer that CS might respond with, this doesn't mean that we do not look into every single report.
