In the End of Game results, the Battle Type literally says BOTS. So this is a built-in thing - either a mode he selected or something WG put in for returning players to get back into the habits and patterns to play. Edit: I would also be surprised if the results from these "warm-up" games count towards anything in the same way that Training Rooms don't.

As you noted, the patent description articulates the ability to recognize and manipulate win streaks/losing streaks. Implicit in that ability is the methods/means to engineer team composition, map selection, RNG allocations, etc. In other words, MM can (and does) manipulate a variety of input variables to engineer 'balanced' outcomes. That WG does this not simply to balance against win or loss streaks but for returning players or other preferred customers should come as no shock -- the MM is Wargaming's meaty thumb on the scale, and is present in every battle.

There's algorithms for everything. That's how both tanks and players are balanced. Why you get muppets in your or enemy team, why you hit ground while aimed or snap accross the map, it's algo deciding to balance stats of players and tanks. So not RNG but ANG. When you enter a battle you get allocated in 2 tables, one for team and one for sigma/pen. However, algorithm can decide to flip you up or down in that sigma/pen table in the middle of the game. It's really easily noticeable.

Once that ratio was 20% certainly won, 20% surely lost, but now, in my opinion, it is approximately 15% surely won and 35-40% surely lost. Probably in this way, the pay to win players are stimulated to think that they are monogo better than they are.

As someone who used to boost people on World of Tanks for real money, I worked as a duo with my now best friend & flatmate. We would find people who want three marks on a certain tank, obviously we would charge more for a tier ten and even more for a hard tank like the Obj 907 etc. We would always platoon, one of us would boost & the other would play something like a Maus or E-100 to tank everything and just track people. We got things done so much quicker like this as opposed to do solo. We never rigged matchmaking to an extent of using bots or logging into other accounts to farm damage on the enemy team etc. Bare in mind this was back in 2017/18 so the game was a little different to how it is now.

The answer to WHY? Is customer retention. I’ve been trying get it across that in order to reduce player churn the company introduced a handicap system about three years ago. This has been refined to the point we are at today. Think of it like a golf handicap that’s intended to level the playing field for the lesser skilled. It’s achieved by reducing or increasing damage per shot and at its extreme the better player is playing the game with a fraction of a second delay applicable to them.

Why does this surprise you guys? WARGAMING would absolutely have to be involved in order to get the right people on both teams in the same match. I thought people already knew this. I like staying up to date on the game, but stopped playing almost a year ago because of this very reason. On the Russian and Chinese servers you don’t see these kind of matches very often. WARGAMING allows their boosting company partners to utilize the EU and NA servers. I thought this was common knowledge amongst the community. People have been complaining for years on the NA and EU servers, you think they haven’t heard our complaints? They have since 2016 but don’t care because they are making money from rich kids who can’t or don’t want to grind. They choose NA and EU servers to fuck up matches because of the low player volume compared to the Russian and Chinese servers. My advice is just go to a different game. Stop playing. Hopefully another developer will come out with a new tank game. THEY WOULD MAKE A KILLING AND WOULD ABSOLUTELY STEAL ALMOST THE WHOLE NA AND EU PLAYER BASE FROM WARGAMING. LOL

Claus - it was a Warm Up game because he had not played for years ! As you can clearly see above the countdown before the game began . Hence the 29 Bots . He also didn’t get any medals or ace tanker for his 15K damage . That one was easy to solve .

WG introduced this option for players if they have been away a while, its to ease you back in. My 2nd account was offered this mode after not playing it for about 9 months.

@clauskellerman, don’t you see that on the end game results screen it says “Battle type: Bots”? It explains why all the players are bots, it is the mode that the player chose.

... @Claus Kellerman ... after long absense from the game (and new players), Team Training Mode pits the player against Botz ... for something like the first 30 games back. Simple. Look it up.💦

I just returned to the game after about a year absence. I got a series of warmup games against bots - I was the only human player. But it was clear from the get-go what was happening. I got no ribbons, none of the stats counted - again, this was stated.

This IS an actual warm-up mode. But Claus is right in that if they have the ability to have bots at all levels, it's almost certain that they are using them to fill in for lower player counts, especially on the smaller servers.

The same happened to me - I was not playing for more than a year and when I got back I noticed the same - I was fighting bots for about 10 first games. I was playing mostly T8.

This is a mode for returning players where you can play up to 10 games I think, It's called warmup or some such thing. When I did it they weren't all bots but mostly I think.

Unreal. I wasn't expecting to see 29 bots and now an OBJ705a damage record. BUT, I'm pretty convinced that these boost companies are actually owned by WG and it's their "side hustle". I suspect this because they're not shutting them down. It's too bad they want to basically screw their primary players. I do/did love playing the game.

i would say its not WG that own them but the devs side hustle and its not their only scam, how does a stat padding scam that depends on accomplices on the other team, end up in the same game unless their is some manipulating in the WG servers

I noticed the player numbers are falling off even accounting for days of the week and all. I have also noticed different levels of bot skill, normally they don't shoot when they have great shots lined up and just bumble around, but sometimes they pull off impossible shots like magic. I think WG is panicked as the fun factor and new players are ignored and the focus is on making a buck and players feel manipulated rather than earning a good game on their own. I have felt for a while that free to play players are just targets for pay to win guys to shoot at. I think I play more out of habit than for fun.

Actually that's surprisingly aligned with my observations from last few years... :/ I play WoT in and out every now and then, having longer or shorter breaks all the time. It shocks me, that virtually every session is biased - in plus (win ratio 70%) or minus (30% win ratio). And looking at my game history it is visible, that match maker is after some delay (usually 2-3 days, if I play 20-30 games per day) like "switching" between modes - "easy mode" or "hard mode" (even in the middle of session). If I win too much (ie. because I started playing after 2 month break and the games were going surprisingly well), then I'm suddenly starting to lose everything without any chance to fight back (you know, 3 minutes into game and 5 team mates dead in most stupid ways). In the long run it evens out to ~50-52% win ratio, which sounds OK for my skill level, but this is solid proof, that MM is not random, it is skill or stat based. It matches you with vs. good or bad players, depending if it wants to boost or nerf you, according to where it thinks you belong (or what it wants you to think about the game?)...

How it works from what I can tell is the first half of the match - up to almost exactly 7 minutes it puts its thumb hard on one side to get quicker matches. IF the game lasts past that, then it considers it a "long game" and stops the behavior. Then the game plays as expected, though one team usually is well ahead by then. You can see it where the enemy is making impossible shot after impossible shot and then suddenly it's normal again.

Whenever I see strange player names, tanks without camo( especially at the higher tiers) and robotic jerky movements of a tank, my suspicions of a bot are always triggered. Even when WG says they don't try to hide the fact that there are bots in the game.

It s a proof 4 what i say since years: the matchmaker is not running by RNG! The algorythms controls it, and if u are a whale and do the math you see, this is not RNG!!! I played other games/shooter since years and in no one i am so bad (win/loss) like in WOT. Maybe i payed at first to much money on WG?

Happened to me as well, but in a milder form and multiple times. When ever I took a break of...make it three weeks (and I took quite a few until I totally quit because this game was increasingly pissing me off), I got back and got rewarded with what appeared to me being a preferential match making. (Top tier). It lasted until they asked me again for my credit card in order to make me bend me over so they can swipe it through my own ass. One of many reasons for uninstalling the game once and for all. I'm only here for the Clauserism.
