    Anyone who says "it's only a small amount of points" doesn't understand how some top teams were abusing the system. Before they locked FL, when teams were moving minis in and out, one team nearly took the top spot. It causes honest factions to have to spend more to defeat those who skirt the rules. using mini factions to feed their main faction points was a HUGE problem.

    it should cause smart factions to stop, laugh, and do NUTTIN!!!!

    Yes, those must be the SMART teams who understand how to react to a SCAM.

    I agree, it should be put back to the way it was if this is really a thing. This doesn't affect a lot of teams unless some top team is doing this.

    This new scoring takes strategy and team work out of Frontline and just makes it about straight gold. I guess that's a good way to run a business if you have players willing to do it but I know the joy and elation when a faction is able to rush a spot with 2 minutes left and take it for a huge win is fun.

    I've also had front row seats to a beating from PR1 or Ghosts. It's amazing to just watch them take over the board in 30m and you can either get your points or you can not battle. I can't imagine where "feeding" affects them one bit when they have single players scoring 3b in one battle.

    I just know this last Frontline, more often than not, I saw three factions take 1 spot and not even bother to try and take another spot. Pretty boring and I know I didn't feel like spending anything on this event.

    Yes I have seen ss of the number 6 team feeding the number 2 team points. Mostly because one or a few people are on those same teams.

    You have to get lucky to match with your feeder team to make points. Besides there is really oh 10-20 teams that still care enough to spend tons of gold over a low quality game.

    FL was good, and like many gree has managed to ruin another event.

    So why not do the same thing in wd? Get a feeder group and everyone hit the top player to give him free wins and to give his team free points?

    Next they will complain that people are using other teams hq, or that people are jumping around to help others with raid boss

    Sounds like a bunch of crybabies successfully ruined this event for the rest of us.
    Texicans. Top 50, 75, 100, 150. We have been it all.

    We use dockbot, if your faction wants a demo pm me. I will even give you a free WD usage if it is your first time to use.

    Wondering this myself. They must have magic fingers or something. And to keep matching their feeder teams to. Very skilled indeed.

    What do your screen shots prove again??? I'm missing something here. This all just seems like a theory people latched onto because of change that occurred with no info from gree. The fact that so many people are buying into this is a joke. And it's ironic as most of these same teams participate in WD matchup rooms for legendary battles which is in essence a feeder system. You can't be cool with things in one scenario and not in another when they are virtually the same thing

    And in the meantime gree hasn't said the first word about any of these changes, no heads-up, no here's why, and no just get over it we aren't changing it (which sure seems like what i am hearing by their slience on the matter).

    Our couple thousand we use to spend on fl x a lot of other factions who see no reason to spend on the event anymore will get their attention if nothing else will.

    It's no different matching a specific team in FL as it is in WD......and plenty match teams near their rank to get legendary. Two teams declare at same time and have a real good chance of matching.

    Not rocket science

    Oh yeah, I know.

    The Bard said it best, much ado about NUTTIN.

    It looks like the original scoring system might be back....
