I'm still convinced that WOT is either directly involved as being a part of the boosting companies or they are supporting them by identifying dead accounts for the companies to use as targets. It's pretty obvious that they are making money with the boosting companies so have no reason to stop it.
Recently I have been playing on average about 10 battles a day. About 2 or 3 of those 10 battles every day are complete blow outs like this where half of my team does no damage at all. This is on the US server.
Great job, Klaus, keep it up. It’s great work, and the more of these to get out there the more of us start looking for these game rigging cheaters and making them public
Until more content creators get on board with this and push for a community boycott until Wargaming makes significant efforts to sway this type of activities. As long as people are paying for premium accounts, buying tanks, etc. they will keep getting paid and no reason to stop this type of activity. The irony is that same rigging company is showing up as an AD on this video. It seems like a big FU to Claus. Keep up the fight, I will stay in Ships
@@crazytrain2254 Is the reason for the suffering on the NA because of these Cheaters? Take an active stand and folks may choose to come back. Personally I think the economy makes tanks a more grindy experience than Warships. Fortunetly have not experienced any one sidded rigging in ships like shown here in Tanks.
Claus has 93k followers... that is more than the player base of the NA. WG just don't care. infact I bet people like Skillzlt4u , are in on it. He says it isn't happening, and don't care. I would say that too, if I worked for them. Besides, I don't know WTF Skillz is saying half the time he talks. It's like trying to listen to a caveman, attempt to sound smart.
I am 100% certain that this will never stop because the people doing this are WG employees moonlighting to make extra money, and that is how they are able to take over so many accounts. They know what accounts have been dormant. They have the ability to access the password. People pay them when they get something they haven't earned.
The fact that it would be so easy for WG to fix the issue as you state and they haven't is itself very telling. If WG wasn't making a profit from these activities, they sure as @#$! would have addressed game rigging long ago. There is a balance sheet out there somewhere that says this is more profitable than retaining casual players.
I really hate to be a Debbie downer, but I really believe that Wargaming is not only involved, but using this as a revenue source. That's why they do nothing about this. But, I'm a muppet, what do I know!
Well think of this - Try use the word "rig" in the chat, you be sure a chatban will be on its way shortly after that espescially if you use rig combined with wg or wot. I stopped counting how many chatbans i received - mostly because I rage over hopeless players and I also have used the rig-word until I realised it causes chatban. FYI - Im a average player that ususally gets desent results in GG means im not the 43% "ape" that rages over ongoing results flaming other players that do their job - yes there are lot of them... And yes - who is the one that creates rage? Needless to say. When you rage its because you get so frustrated and need to de-pressurerise yourself which something wg refuse to "understand".
I stopped playing this game almost 4 years ago at 50K battles. I see this problem has still not gone away. This used to make me sick when I would see it happen. It was one of the "many reasons why I left the game."
Companies fix things which are costing them money, not things that are earning them money. That the boosting companies have ready access to years old accounts which have seemingly been abandoned -- only to return and assist in rigging -- is adequate proof to any critical thinker that WOT/WG is actively involved with the boosting companies, providing them log-ins and accounts, and are, thus, colluding to rig while profiting. Thank you for keep this front and center.
Great video,.. better randomizing the MM with a time variable is an excellent idea. 👍 It is deflating sometimes when you have multiple blow out games knowing this is going on.
Claus Great video, and you are right a random delay would solve a lot of problems. We know that Wargaming are good with their random number generation. My RNG always goes randomly low!
well done fella, I know it takes a lot of your time to do this and us working joe's really appreciate what you are trying to do. if only WG would take this on board it would be better for the game, much better.
Given the two players you showed who have only recently descended into shittyness, I wonder if the rigging companies are offering kickbacks to players who allow them to run their accounts on a part-time basis.
Seriously Claus I comment you for your effort. I sincerely hope Wargaming fixes this. If I ever want to play again, I will just ignore the one game got ruined and move on to the next. Like I said before: no one in the real world gives a F*** about their stats from a make-believe game. I say good luck to them in their own tiny tiny bubble. Just going to ignore the losers. They will fall trough immediately in a real WOT tournament. Good luck to everybody whose game got ruined! I do think taht your solution will work. Very effective. Same as the mods. 👍
with Claus' idea they could couple that with a code in the mm to recognize clicks on "start battle" that are simultaneous to get matched with a different map and/or same team. whichever comes first.
I would love to hear some claus commentary on wot console. They recently put in a tier 10 centurion AVRE, with a huge shovel on the front, spaced armor everywhere. A derp HESH gun that does 1400 if you pen, 400-800 if you don't pen (because HESH). Also they moved the iron Arnie to tier 10 and made it better than PC version. We have our problems with console too... it's the devs lol
It seems very odd that the feeder tanks were all fairly normal accounts until not too long ago, then their stats absolutely tanked. Were they bought from somewhere, do the booster companies have a way to get "new" accounts to use, maybe in response to bans?
Next month, WG will introduce a new subscription service, called WOT+ extra ultra, and for only 29.99 a month, you won`t have cheaters in your game! For another 50 a month, you can also have preferential MM for all your tanks! :D
The thing with MM is that it picks similar platoons to battle. That means HT/HT, MT/MT and so on, but there's a lot of players in platoons clicking that "battle" button in the same time, not only those two platoons that want to rig the game. So they're gonna end up with random platoon in some cases, and with platoon they were looking for in others. That will bring us to even more AFK platoons overall. Is my thinking on the right path?
If what you are saying is that the solution that Claus is proposing will not fix the problem because all it will do is create more AFK platoons in battle, then I agree.
It will for a while, but if the cheaters don't figure out a work around, then eventually they will stop because their business will no longer be effective. So short term it will be worse, long term will be better.
@@ehmkinator6597 the workaround is just create more ghost platoons. Instead of pushing enter on 10 platoons at the same time they'll do it with 20 or 30 and it's not that complicated. Odds are they will still end up in a game what's a feeder platoon and the account they're trying to cheat for. But now that means instead of 82 Tunes getting in a game and being AFK you'll have 28 getting in a game and being AFK. The workaround is not complicated. Beside the fact that at least for me half the time I sit in awaiting cure for a minute or two anyway so a 15 second or half minute delay isn't going to change anything.
@@Phil926 Good point. I guess the question then is the capacity of the GRC companies to create these extra platoons. I also think part of the problem on the NA server is the low number of players leads to fewer matches available which increases the odds of getting in the same match as their partners. If there were more matches, it would dilute the pool making it more difficult for them to match up.
Tnxs for the vid and the work you have done on it. The timing of the MM on when it goes active to find a game for someone when it is clicked is what is most important. The wider the time gape the better it will work. So something like 33% 1/3 of the current people that click for the next game for about 10 seconds that the severs read a request should go into the que immediately. The rest are split between a 30 second delay and a 45 second delay. That will create a 30+ delay and a 15+ second delay. Now for EU servers I think MM is pretty fast. But for US servers it can be around 30 seconds to a minute or so by the time you click to actually get put into a game.
I would prefer, instead of delaying the matchmaking, for Wargaming to just ban whoever makes almost 0 dmg for many battles. Cheating or not, they destroy the game anyway! Also, they must award 0 credits and 0 XP to whoever drown himself on purpose... they destroying the game as well, denying other players to complete missions, etc... I think, only delaying the match making will not be effective if these cheaters are using like 30 or 50 platoons, because eventually 2 out of these 50 platoons will end up in the same battle.
It's even easier. Since the game riggers multibox the game they are using the same computer. WG can crack down on multiple accounts logged in on the same IP and reward them with a 279e right away and save the time. Or WG can just sell it for $250 and cut out the middleman.
A company known as Bigpoint got in bed with botters and cheaters in the past, many of their titles lost the majority of their player bases, and some such as BattleStar Galactica Online went down entirely as a result. Take notice, for this is WarGaming’s future too if they don’t combat these problems.
There is NO WAY Wargaming will build a delay into MM. Their entire business model lately is about faster and more unstable games to make them shorter becuase the faster we lose, the faster we run out of credits. They've been shaving minutes off games by introducing more imbalance. They are not going to undo their "hard work" by adding in a delay that over the course of a year may cost them tens of thousands bottles of Vodka.
I already SOLD my account on Ebay, at least I got 300 Euro back for my tanks and a good WN8 account... happy I don't have this game installed anymore, but I still LOVE watching Claus!
World of tanks has such little amount of people playing nowadays. Sadly i don't think wargaming will ban any of them, because that would be half of thier current player base.
A better idea than delay would be skill based matchmaking. Instead of matching on tanks it should match on recent performance, then these platoon will NEVER end up in the same game. Guaranteed. The only way two rigging platoons can end up in the same game is when two farmers are on opposite teams, which means neither of them can farm enough and one of them is guaranteed to lose (no honors on the mission). These companies would be instantly out of business.
i have to admit your "delay" would probably make it harder for them to cheat but that would be a shame for us ! i'm not cheating or game rigging but sometimes with friends we like tryin to get one platoon against another on the same battle just to have fun and fight against each others ! anyway still big thx to you for exposing these guys !
If the battle que are like a long line of tanks going to one map with 15 tanks on green team and 15 tanks on red team, then the match maker must sort them in 6/7 ques as clown cars, light tanks, medium tanks, heavy tanks, TD's, artillery and platoons. There must be 3 slots open for each que on the green team and the red team. 3 light tanks, 3 medium tanks, 3 heavy tanks, 3 TD's and 3 artillery. Lack of a certain type must open a slot next to it. So the green/red team will fx. have 2 light tanks, 4 medium tanks, 4 heavy tanks, 4 TD's and 1 artillery. Platoons dropping in must autofill 3 slots on both green and red team in the same game aka. same map. Platoons dropping in simultaneously must be split in different games aka. maps. 10-20 maps must be filled randomly instead of what now looks like filling one map at the time.
I’m not so sure about certain people intentionally being the riggers… I got hacked this week and when I saw money spent on my account and I logged into the game, I was in battle in my Maus, and 30 seconds later someone logged back in and bounced me. Looks like they were using my tank to be farmed I had to quickly change my password and when I logged back in my Maus was still in battle and nearly dead
Well this is a new for me. Don't misunderstand me, I believe you. I believe this game became such a shitshow I uninstalled some month ago. And it ain't easy to clck that last button when you're in the game for more than 10 yars and you know all that time is lost forever. But I'm not sorry i clicked it, maybe my account is now one of that cheater ones...
@@fromhelltocell I sure hope your account doesn’t get nailed. I got some messages a week back from some players I cheated and a WOT replay link, or so it seemed… I assume a webpage that looks like wOT but a gateway to get your WOT email account info and login. My account was used to use the same spam message and got perma banned. Once WG refunded me my money and rolled back my account a few days, they also reversed the chat ban. I wonder how many of these tanks not hiding their names are accounts that were hacked and the player has no clue…
The question is how were you hacked? Did you recently click on in game URLs and supply your credentials? You should never do that and also you should always use password manager. You should also never ever link a credit card to any of your game accounts. Rather supply the details every time you do a purchase, or use a virtual card service.
@@henryvaneyk3769 I assume the link I got messaged by scammed was a fake url and a logger. Looked like WOT’s replay section and of course I had to log in to see the “replay”. Sadly I was an idiot and had my PayPal linked for automatic payment got WG, which I disabled already. SMH
You're right. There's no need for micro updates. They just need to put this code on their servers and the problem will be solved if the developers are lazy to do that this is the code below: -------------------------- import random import time # Generate a random number of seconds between 1 and 15 delay_seconds = random.randint(1, 15) # Delay joining the server by the random number of seconds time.sleep(delay_seconds) # Code to join the server would go here --------------------------- I only had one day to play this game and today I was in middle of five game rigging. I closed my laptop and went to watch a movie. 😅
Claus, thank you for this work. I now know that when a game goes 2 to 10 in two minutes, I am in a game that was decided from the start. Also when I'm in a game that gets to 9 to 2 within two minutes we're going to win regardless. Plus all this crazy Pay-To-WIN, regular equipment, unfair advantage equipment to down right crazy bizarre equipment that's very hard to impossible to get doesn't leave much room for an old retired man like me to enjoy the game anymore. War gaming has gotten so greedy not caring what a normal person thinks or feels until the game has gotten almost impossible for a schmo like me to enjoy at all. I've been telling myself to quit for about three years now. I don't know how much longer I can go on with WOT. Your channel lets me know what I'm up against so if I keep sending them real money to play it's all on my dumbass. 🤙👌👍
Agreed. I am barely hanging onto WOT. All of the 3-15, 15-3 Blitzkrieg battles are just about to make me quit playing. I have switched over to WOWP for the most part, despite a lot of battles being decided by one or two high end players in Spec'd aircraft deciding the outcome. It's still better than the s*** show WOT has become.
@@unclej3910 ....I totally agree. It won't be long and WOT is going to "tank" here in the NA server I think. I'm not an everyday player and have never spent more than a couple of hours in the game at one time and play a lot less now. Mostly because I'm not good enough to get the fancy tanks, specials for purchase and winning in special battles. So I've only managed a couple of purple equipment pieces and both of them are on the same tank. I played for several years thinking I had to put a crew in each tank and build their experience, my dumbass. I've played for ten years and have just now gotten a couple of Tier 9 tanks. Don't guess I'll ever see a Tier 10. Im retired and really love the game and have sent those damn Ruskies more real US dollars than I will admit to. I hate to quit but I played a Tier 9 tank destroyer, my favorite class, yesterday and lost 10 straight battles. I was killed one time by an enemy from the opposite side of the building I was hiding behind. I sent the guy a nasty note but didn't hear back. I've never gone that many battles down in a row before. Yellow-livered A'holes using cheat mods has continued to rise. Now the companies playing games with you allowing you to just murder their tanks to win the special takes is sickening. Claus Kellerman on UA-cam has been beating that dead horse for quite a while now. Ok, I'll quit my bitchin. Have a good day Uncle J.
@ ClausKellermann : Straight talk, just what I like , these cheaters don't /wont' have any excuse. @WG: BAN those deliberate cheaters who know and understand they cheat and not worry consequences. GIVE them consequence! NOW
Something I am good at is observation. I've noticed that when there are events that give away especially rare tanks the battles have the same style of attack and are complete blowouts no more then 6 to 15. When the rigging isn't going on the games are much closer at least 9 to 15. It seems to happen for one hour about every two hour gaps. WG denies this is happening and I am of the firm belief that WG is coluding with or their employees are the ones doing the rigging. Last time it was bad as it is now I even showed WG the time patterns that the riggers were using. Now they are 5, 7 and 9pm US pacific time.
Hey Claus, thank you for your honesty and work but it is useless because these gamerigging "players" are employees from WG and it is just a way for WG to monetise their game. It happens that I know already 12 years and finaly will be the end for the game because we aren't Russia and don't like to be mislead. This was their best way to ,make money on the Russian servers and they imported it on the other servers too. Now that Russian servers aren't WG anymor they just pinched up the game rigging efforts in order too make a bigger buck asap before it collaps. The proof is situated in their own rules, only WG owns the playersaccounts and can use them in which order they want too when they become inactive and they never refund. It is all about the business and WG isn't known for their honesty.
it's happening for years ,WG are selling inactive - old accounts to cheater organisations .Its the same scheme as Call center scamers ,peoples acount info are sold in bundle with cheating scenarious to cheater companies . It's busyness as usual . almost every online game have cheater companies like this . it's an old thing.
WG crapped out a new tier 9 premium TD lootbox tank- the TL 7. I'm gonna hold onto my money until Claus reviews it; need that honest,no BS,regular joe opinion before i part with my money😁
have the delay before you enter the queue would be bad. since ppl would whine and QQ. But if you put people on the queue screen. even if you have yet to enter the actual queue. that way the delay is hidden. makes it even harder to figure out the delay. Otherwise great videos Claus. especially the light tank vids. greatly enjoying them
just feel so relieved... i deleted the account after 11 years.... now there is a 45 days of waiting until deleted completely.. they hope the addiction will be stronger than the frustration... but frustration reached such a level, no way back... but you the other gamers enjoy
Рік тому
Two days ago I've got an in-game message from romwotupgrade "player" offering paid booster to my gaming. They also added a website with the same name. I've reported it to WG and got some robotic answer that they don't punish players manually... Total BS and no interest about the "business" around the game.
Wargaming doesn’t know how to fix anything. They can only add! Been playing since 2012 and they can’t fix anything. Oh they can nerf a certain tank or tank line. They can nerf HE rounds but they won’t fix anything!!
If you have to cheat to pad your stats it just shows your true character. I fail to see the motive really. It proves nothing. Keep up the good work Claus. Thank You
Thanks for your video. i was actually banned for this and never was a part of anything. had to learn what it was. i'm going back to 2015. i guess i have good days and bad days but for whatever reason i was deemed a riggin guy. crazier thing is is that even though i'm totally innocent of any wrong doing i was deemed a cheater by someone like you and subsequently banned. which was a shame because i really enjoyed the game. i do see what your saying and it could be that those guys were in fact cheating. but i can attest that they actually do ban people....right or wrong. and to this day they still wont unban my address.
Claus should be given mod rights to immediately ban accounts. He spends so much time to support the game to make it better. I’m sure he’d enjoy that a lot and it would help minimize this nonsense. I can just hear him as he submits the account bans. “No soup for you cheater!”
theres a game called conquerors blade, theres a "bug" where u walk into a wall (on one map) and the person in the wall can deal damage to players and units but the person in the wall doesnt take damage, they fixed it months after, but such bad proggramming/cheating.
Talking about this in forum more over 1 year ago, few of members defening it with "if you are a bad player you always look for something to blame for it", got even a ban for some time for trying to explain they are wrong...so, WG didnt react then and they are not reacting now...lets face it, its all about money, not player base...
Good work Claus much appreciated keep exposing them and WG time to do something. Perhaps just give everyone the reward tanks and put the cheaters out of business
I remember what we did with our clan one evening after clan wars, 12 players took a tier 4 tank, clicked into battle at the same time and 10 of us got into the same team 😂. Clan wars in random battle!
They also could spread and remix the players over the different servers the region has with each new game randomly. Yes it is doable technically and organisationaly. Other games do that already.
they need to get on top of this , my friends who don't watch videos are starting to see this in game and are pissed as I explain what is really going on . wot is NOT a cheap game, they cant expect us to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars a year and play in a rigged game , they are making a big mistakes, I'm on the verge of quitting till it's fixed
*** Easy Fix, after 5 Games of firing their Gun ZERO times, 1 hr. suspension. If they continue with another 5 games in a row, add additional suspension time. ***
The rigging that gets to me is by WG! To this day, I can never pen with my first shot - no matter how well aimed and no matter the range. That can't be anything but rigging.
I have 100K battles in 2 accounts and 11 years of playing both. In one account the first shot always hits the target. In the other account the first shot has never hit the target. It hits dirt every time. To compensate for this issue I just fire a shot in that account at whatever I see and then when a target shows up I know I can hit him.
Well i see not just 3ppl in platoon with 0dmg, i see 6 ppl (another 3 including jaghtpanzer e100 and 268) . i understan lt100 can accidentaly die when scouting, but what other 2..
#1 rig: Wot messes with the team view. #2 rig: without premium tanks will vanish for you the moment they move into your line of sight. You can tell you're on the blind team by how easy you get spotted and how you can't see them when they can see you (no scouts around). Wot is the product of p2w. As scrubs sell out gamers we all suffer. Sad part is many will never know how fun games used to be.
I have never noticed it in my battles, but then I don't pay much attention. Nor do I play much high tier. I do however notice the many 2-3 minutes battles where one team is always far superior. This game is just so broken!
I will keep exposing them. Thanks all of you for your support.

Like I said before: no one in the real world gives a F*** about their stats from a make-believe game. I say good luck to them in their own tiny tiny bubble. Just going to ignore the losers. They will fall trough immediately in a real WOT tournament. Good luck to everybody whose game got ruined! I do think taht your solution will work. Very effective. Same as the mods. 👍
Yes, we are appreciating your work here very much
Thank you Claus! Please continue till they fix!
with Claus' idea they could couple that with a code in the mm to recognize clicks on "start battle" that are simultaneous to get matched with a different map and/or same team. whichever comes first.
Well constructed argument and solution sir.
Please keep doing this videos Claus and exposing this GRC. You are doing a hell of a job, whatever some Mupets are saying. 👍👍👍
I would love to hear some claus commentary on wot console. They recently put in a tier 10 centurion AVRE, with a huge shovel on the front, spaced armor everywhere. A derp HESH gun that does 1400 if you pen, 400-800 if you don't pen (because HESH). Also they moved the iron Arnie to tier 10 and made it better than PC version. We have our problems with console too... it's the devs lol
The lack of good bushes sucks too.
It seems very odd that the feeder tanks were all fairly normal accounts until not too long ago, then their stats absolutely tanked. Were they bought from somewhere, do the booster companies have a way to get "new" accounts to use, maybe in response to bans?
Next month, WG will introduce a new subscription service, called WOT+ extra ultra, and for only 29.99 a month, you won`t have cheaters in your game! For another 50 a month, you can also have preferential MM for all your tanks! :D
Thanks for the effort, Claus.
So tired of game-rigging. Makes you almost want to quit playing. Keep it up clause.
The thing with MM is that it picks similar platoons to battle. That means HT/HT, MT/MT and so on, but there's a lot of players in platoons clicking that "battle" button in the same time, not only those two platoons that want to rig the game. So they're gonna end up with random platoon in some cases, and with platoon they were looking for in others. That will bring us to even more AFK platoons overall. Is my thinking on the right path?
If what you are saying is that the solution that Claus is proposing will not fix the problem because all it will do is create more AFK platoons in battle, then I agree.
It will for a while, but if the cheaters don't figure out a work around, then eventually they will stop because their business will no longer be effective. So short term it will be worse, long term will be better.
@@ehmkinator6597 the workaround is just create more ghost platoons. Instead of pushing enter on 10 platoons at the same time they'll do it with 20 or 30 and it's not that complicated. Odds are they will still end up in a game what's a feeder platoon and the account they're trying to cheat for. But now that means instead of 82 Tunes getting in a game and being AFK you'll have 28 getting in a game and being AFK. The workaround is not complicated. Beside the fact that at least for me half the time I sit in awaiting cure for a minute or two anyway so a 15 second or half minute delay isn't going to change anything.
@@Phil926 Good point. I guess the question then is the capacity of the GRC companies to create these extra platoons. I also think part of the problem on the NA server is the low number of players leads to fewer matches available which increases the odds of getting in the same match as their partners. If there were more matches, it would dilute the pool making it more difficult for them to match up.
I absolutely believe members of the WG staff are involved and are receiving financial compensation for access to old dormant accounts.
Tnxs for the vid and the work you have done on it. The timing of the MM on when it goes active to find a game for someone when it is clicked is what is most important. The wider the time gape the better it will work. So something like 33% 1/3 of the current people that click for the next game for about 10 seconds that the severs read a request should go into the que immediately. The rest are split between a 30 second delay and a 45 second delay. That will create a 30+ delay and a 15+ second delay. Now for EU servers I think MM is pretty fast. But for US servers it can be around 30 seconds to a minute or so by the time you click to actually get put into a game.
I would prefer, instead of delaying the matchmaking, for Wargaming to just ban whoever makes almost 0 dmg for many battles. Cheating or not, they destroy the game anyway!
Also, they must award 0 credits and 0 XP to whoever drown himself on purpose... they destroying the game as well, denying other players to complete missions, etc...
I think, only delaying the match making will not be effective if these cheaters are using like 30 or 50 platoons, because eventually 2 out of these 50 platoons will end up in the same battle.
It's even easier. Since the game riggers multibox the game they are using the same computer. WG can crack down on multiple accounts logged in on the same IP and reward them with a 279e right away and save the time. Or WG can just sell it for $250 and cut out the middleman.
thank you for your work Klaus from an italian wot player
Claus, I love that you keep calling these unworthy cheats out. keep up the crusade! :-)
WG: We cant bann our Employess...
A company known as Bigpoint got in bed with botters and cheaters in the past, many of their titles lost the majority of their player bases, and some such as BattleStar Galactica Online went down entirely as a result.
Take notice, for this is WarGaming’s future too if they don’t combat these problems.
When Wargaming completely gets rid of aim bots and being able to see laser line of where you aim.
the reply you got is a scam don't engage.
There is NO WAY Wargaming will build a delay into MM. Their entire business model lately is about faster and more unstable games to make them shorter becuase the faster we lose, the faster we run out of credits. They've been shaving minutes off games by introducing more imbalance. They are not going to undo their "hard work" by adding in a delay that over the course of a year may cost them tens of thousands bottles of Vodka.
Make you wonder of all the games you have had, when half the team has zero hits or kills.
I already SOLD my account on Ebay,
at least I got 300 Euro back for my tanks and a good WN8 account...
happy I don't have this game installed anymore,
but I still LOVE watching Claus!
@ssClaus_kellerman-xd7po Can you get me some unavailable Premium tanks for 1000 USD?
World of tanks has such little amount of people playing nowadays. Sadly i don't think wargaming will ban any of them, because that would be half of thier current player base.
I used to play this game all of the time. Now it's rarely. Stuff like this makes it even more rare.
what's bad is that the team with the double Maus, immediately knew they were cheating. the Jagpanzer calls them out and others notice.
Noticed that too. Shout out to the JP E100 driver for calling it out immediately
In order for WG to listen to you, you have to tell them how much money they will lose or not earn.
When was WG ever interested in game play quality?
@@wolfattack402000 They have not yet calculated that quality affects earnings.
Not to forget the Tundra, Paintball, Aimbots and all other fun stuff that also works in the game.
If Wargaming got rid of all the cheating players they would not have many people left to play the game…
A better idea than delay would be skill based matchmaking. Instead of matching on tanks it should match on recent performance, then these platoon will NEVER end up in the same game. Guaranteed.
The only way two rigging platoons can end up in the same game is when two farmers are on opposite teams, which means neither of them can farm enough and one of them is guaranteed to lose (no honors on the mission). These companies would be instantly out of business.
Claus told me to shake my head, but I was already doing that at the epic-ness of the rant.
i have to admit your "delay" would probably make it harder for them to cheat but that would be a shame for us ! i'm not cheating or game rigging but sometimes with friends we like tryin to get one platoon against another on the same battle just to have fun and fight against each others !
anyway still big thx to you for exposing these guys !
If the battle que are like a long line of tanks going to one map with 15 tanks on green team and 15 tanks on red team, then the match maker must sort them in 6/7 ques as clown cars, light tanks, medium tanks, heavy tanks, TD's, artillery and platoons.
There must be 3 slots open for each que on the green team and the red team.
3 light tanks, 3 medium tanks, 3 heavy tanks, 3 TD's and 3 artillery. Lack of a certain type must open a slot next to it.
So the green/red team will fx. have 2 light tanks, 4 medium tanks, 4 heavy tanks, 4 TD's and 1 artillery.
Platoons dropping in must autofill 3 slots on both green and red team in the same game aka. same map.
Platoons dropping in simultaneously must be split in different games aka. maps.
10-20 maps must be filled randomly instead of what now looks like filling one map at the time.
Hi Claus, you're doing an awesome job. Greetings from Poland.
I’m not so sure about certain people intentionally being the riggers… I got hacked this week and when I saw money spent on my account and I logged into the game, I was in battle in my Maus, and 30 seconds later someone logged back in and bounced me. Looks like they were using my tank to be farmed
I had to quickly change my password and when I logged back in my Maus was still in battle and nearly dead
happened to me recently I think WG might be involved by their silence.
Well this is a new for me. Don't misunderstand me, I believe you. I believe this game became such a shitshow I uninstalled some month ago. And it ain't easy to clck that last button when you're in the game for more than 10 yars and you know all that time is lost forever. But I'm not sorry i clicked it, maybe my account is now one of that cheater ones...
@@fromhelltocell I sure hope your account doesn’t get nailed.
I got some messages a week back from some players I cheated and a WOT replay link, or so it seemed… I assume a webpage that looks like wOT but a gateway to get your WOT email account info and login.
My account was used to use the same spam message and got perma banned. Once WG refunded me my money and rolled back my account a few days, they also reversed the chat ban.
I wonder how many of these tanks not hiding their names are accounts that were hacked and the player has no clue…
The question is how were you hacked? Did you recently click on in game URLs and supply your credentials? You should never do that and also you should always use password manager. You should also never ever link a credit card to any of your game accounts. Rather supply the details every time you do a purchase, or use a virtual card service.
@@henryvaneyk3769 I assume the link I got messaged by scammed was a fake url and a logger. Looked like WOT’s replay section and of course I had to log in to see the “replay”.
Sadly I was an idiot and had my PayPal linked for automatic payment got WG, which I disabled already. SMH
Quit playing Tanks years ago but still watch you channel regularly just to keep up with Marty…..😂
You're right. There's no need for micro updates. They just need to put this code on their servers and the problem will be solved if the developers are lazy to do that this is the code below:
--------------------------
import random
import time
# Generate a random number of seconds between 1 and 15
delay_seconds = random.randint(1, 15)
# Delay joining the server by the random number of seconds
time.sleep(delay_seconds)
# Code to join the server would go here
---------------------------
I only had one day to play this game and today I was in middle of five game rigging. I closed my laptop and went to watch a movie. 😅
Claus, thank you for this work. I now know that when a game goes 2 to 10 in two minutes, I am in a game that was decided from the start. Also when I'm in a game that gets to 9 to 2 within two minutes we're going to win regardless. Plus all this crazy Pay-To-WIN, regular equipment, unfair advantage equipment to down right crazy bizarre equipment that's very hard to impossible to get doesn't leave much room for an old retired man like me to enjoy the game anymore. War gaming has gotten so greedy not caring what a normal person thinks or feels until the game has gotten almost impossible for a schmo like me to enjoy at all. I've been telling myself to quit for about three years now. I don't know how much longer I can go on with WOT. Your channel lets me know what I'm up against so if I keep sending them real money to play it's all on my dumbass. 🤙👌👍
Agreed. I am barely hanging onto WOT. All of the 3-15, 15-3 Blitzkrieg battles are just about to make me quit playing. I have switched over to WOWP for the most part, despite a lot of battles being decided by one or two high end players in Spec'd aircraft deciding the outcome. It's still better than the s*** show WOT has become.
@@unclej3910 ....I totally agree. It won't be long and WOT is going to "tank" here in the NA server I think. I'm not an everyday player and have never spent more than a couple of hours in the game at one time and play a lot less now. Mostly because I'm not good enough to get the fancy tanks, specials for purchase and winning in special battles. So I've only managed a couple of purple equipment pieces and both of them are on the same tank. I played for several years thinking I had to put a crew in each tank and build their experience, my dumbass. I've played for ten years and have just now gotten a couple of Tier 9 tanks. Don't guess I'll ever see a Tier 10. Im retired and really love the game and have sent those damn Ruskies more real US dollars than I will admit to. I hate to quit but I played a Tier 9 tank destroyer, my favorite class, yesterday and lost 10 straight battles. I was killed one time by an enemy from the opposite side of the building I was hiding behind. I sent the guy a nasty note but didn't hear back. I've never gone that many battles down in a row before. Yellow-livered A'holes using cheat mods has continued to rise. Now the companies playing games with you allowing you to just murder their tanks to win the special takes is sickening. Claus Kellerman on UA-cam has been beating that dead horse for quite a while now. Ok, I'll quit my bitchin. Have a good day Uncle J.
@ ClausKellermann : Straight talk, just what I like , these cheaters don't /wont' have any excuse. @WG: BAN those deliberate cheaters who know and understand they cheat and not worry consequences. GIVE them consequence! NOW
Something I am good at is observation. I've noticed that when there are events that give away especially rare tanks the battles have the same style of attack and are complete blowouts no more then 6 to 15. When the rigging isn't going on the games are much closer at least 9 to 15. It seems to happen for one hour about every two hour gaps. WG denies this is happening and I am of the firm belief that WG is coluding with or their employees are the ones doing the rigging. Last time it was bad as it is now I even showed WG the time patterns that the riggers were using. Now they are 5, 7 and 9pm US pacific time.
Hey Claus, thank you for your honesty and work but it is useless because these gamerigging "players" are employees from WG and it is just a way for WG to monetise their game. It happens that I know already 12 years and finaly will be the end for the game because we aren't Russia and don't like to be mislead. This was their best way to ,make money on the Russian servers and they imported it on the other servers too. Now that Russian servers aren't WG anymor they just pinched up the game rigging efforts in order too make a bigger buck asap before it collaps. The proof is situated in their own rules, only WG owns the playersaccounts and can use them in which order they want too when they become inactive and they never refund. It is all about the business and WG isn't known for their honesty.
If you are on a ship on the ocean, the first thing you see is a game rigging artillery. And that's exactly the reason why we haven't been to the moon.
@2:06 someone in the game chat realized there were cheaters
I noticed that too, the Jpz E-100 was right there and said something. More people need to call this shit out like he did when they see it.
it's happening for years ,WG are selling inactive - old accounts to cheater organisations .Its the same scheme as Call center scamers ,peoples acount info are sold in bundle with cheating scenarious to cheater companies . It's busyness as usual . almost every online game have cheater companies like this . it's an old thing.
Have a setting/filter for turning off games with platoons in them. ie... i dont want to play with game riggers
they can also limit the tier some one can play if his wn8 drops i assume riggers wont rig below tier 6
WG crapped out a new tier 9 premium TD lootbox tank- the TL 7.
I'm gonna hold onto my money until Claus reviews it; need that honest,no BS,regular joe opinion before i part with my money😁
have the delay before you enter the queue would be bad. since ppl would whine and QQ. But if you put people on the queue screen. even if you have yet to enter the actual queue. that way the delay is hidden. makes it even harder to figure out the delay.
Otherwise great videos Claus. especially the light tank vids. greatly enjoying them
just feel so relieved... i deleted the account after 11 years.... now there is a 45 days of waiting until deleted completely.. they hope the addiction will be stronger than the frustration... but frustration reached such a level, no way back... but you the other gamers enjoy
Two days ago I've got an in-game message from romwotupgrade "player" offering paid booster to my gaming. They also added a website with the same name. I've reported it to WG and got some robotic answer that they don't punish players manually... Total BS and no interest about the "business" around the game.
Keep it up Claus. Thank you.
Wargaming doesn’t know how to fix anything. They can only add! Been playing since 2012 and they can’t fix anything. Oh they can nerf a certain tank or tank line. They can nerf HE rounds but they won’t fix anything!!
WarGaming has ALREADY taken a strong stand against Game-Rigging-Cheating
Stop believing the lies.
Thank you Claus
If you have to cheat to pad your stats it just shows your true character. I fail to see the motive really. It proves nothing. Keep up the good work Claus. Thank You
These are helpful to let me know who when playing is on my teams
Thanks for your video. i was actually banned for this and never was a part of anything. had to learn what it was. i'm going back to 2015. i guess i have good days and bad days but for whatever reason i was deemed a riggin guy. crazier thing is is that even though i'm totally innocent of any wrong doing i was deemed a cheater by someone like you and subsequently banned. which was a shame because i really enjoyed the game. i do see what your saying and it could be that those guys were in fact cheating. but i can attest that they actually do ban people....right or wrong. and to this day they still wont unban my address.
Claus should be given mod rights to immediately ban accounts. He spends so much time to support the game to make it better. I’m sure he’d enjoy that a lot and it would help minimize this nonsense. I can just hear him as he submits the account bans. “No soup for you cheater!”
After 9 yrs I quit 3/30/2023.WARGAMING....NO MORE MONEY FOR YOU>>.LOL< LOL LOL Keep up the great work. MR Claus.
theres a game called conquerors blade, theres a "bug" where u walk into a wall (on one map) and the person in the wall can deal damage to players and units but the person in the wall doesnt take damage, they fixed it months after, but such bad proggramming/cheating.
Why would Wargaming ban that POS, when Wargaming all along has been that POS ?
Stop believing that bullsh**
WarGaming are strongly against this kind of cheating.
Stay strong Claus. Keep up the good work
That is good solution what Claus is suggesting. Though it seams like WG don't really care at this point.
Can't not like and comment for Claus when he exposes cheaters and WG complicity
Some of the content creators for WG draw ads on UA-cam for "Lord of Tanks", one of these stat padding services.
Talking about this in forum more over 1 year ago, few of members defening it with "if you are a bad player you always look for something to blame for it", got even a ban for some time for trying to explain they are wrong...so, WG didnt react then and they are not reacting now...lets face it, its all about money, not player base...
Great video Claus 👍🏼
That the fix is so simple and has not been fixed proves what we all KNOW - WG receives financial incentives not to.
Good work Claus much appreciated keep exposing them and WG time to do something. Perhaps just give everyone the reward tanks and put the cheaters out of business
I hope WG will actually do something about this nonsense.
Spot on Claus keep up the good work
I remember what we did with our clan one evening after clan wars, 12 players took a tier 4 tank, clicked into battle at the same time and 10 of us got into the same team 😂. Clan wars in random battle!
They also could spread and remix the players over the different servers the region has with each new game randomly. Yes it is doable technically and organisationaly. Other games do that already.
Claus doing God's work. Thank you.
they need to get on top of this , my friends who don't watch videos are starting to see this in game and are pissed as I explain what is really going on . wot is NOT a cheap game, they cant expect us to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars a year and play in a rigged game , they are making a big mistakes, I'm on the verge of quitting till it's fixed
*** Easy Fix, after 5 Games of firing their Gun ZERO times, 1 hr. suspension. If they continue with another 5 games in a row, add additional suspension time. ***
The rigging that gets to me is by WG! To this day, I can never pen with my first shot - no matter how well aimed and no matter the range. That can't be anything but rigging.
I have 100K battles in 2 accounts and 11 years of playing both. In one account the first shot always hits the target. In the other account the first shot has never hit the target. It hits dirt every time. To compensate for this issue I just fire a shot in that account at whatever I see and then when a target shows up I know I can hit him.
Notice that the final "kill shot" bounces more frequently or misses more recently?
I also have been hitting tracks a lot more, even with a fully aimed shot on the upper plate, they are like magnets now.
It IS Wargaming doing it ! This is how they make bonuses.
Good job Claus 👍👍👍
Well i see not just 3ppl in platoon with 0dmg, i see 6 ppl (another 3 including jaghtpanzer e100 and 268) . i understan lt100 can accidentaly die when scouting, but what other 2..
#1 rig: Wot messes with the team view.
#2 rig: without premium tanks will vanish for you the moment they move into your line of sight.
You can tell you're on the blind team by how easy you get spotted and how you can't see them when they can see you (no scouts around).
Wot is the product of p2w. As scrubs sell out gamers we all suffer. Sad part is many will never know how fun games used to be.
I think its 'Energy', though 'Angry' might be how most people feel after watching these.
.
Hey Claus, why dont you stream any more?
I have never noticed it in my battles, but then I don't pay much attention. Nor do I play much high tier. I do however notice the many 2-3 minutes battles where one team is always far superior. This game is just so broken!
