Interesting if that is true, and they are using a different algorithm that exactly matches the algorithm that some players has figured out.
Maybe it's just a FB mod that doesn't know any better.
The mods on Facebook don't know, mods on forums don't know, and the people answering customer support tickets don't know -- because these are all volunteers, they're interviewed and trained or given a script/rules to follow, but I have known some players who got these positions and have some insight how it works. You've seen the "Dear kings and queens, do you like helping your fellow players, join our team" recruiting messages? Those positions are not compensated with real money - I'll leave you to guess how they are compensated - and they know no more about the game than you or I do (for the most part.)
So first they will deny or refute what players post, and say that we, the players, and they, also players and volunteers, don't know anything without "official word."
Great, go get official word. That's the part where they tell us "your feedback has been forwarded."
- We have been seeing the same repeating seasons for months with our own eyes.
- We have found and tested an algorithm that checks out, across many leagues on many servers, showing why we're stuck on repeat with the same matches, the same guilds, even the same board positions every season in GBG.
- Please stop telling us it's some unknowable thing or in our imagination.
Players are frustrated, and we want Innogames to address it.
I am tired of the same seasons myself, and seeing new posts every season about "we got the same again". "leagues are broken", "gbg is broken", "matches are not random and it's ruining the game" -- as players desperately try to describe wtf is wrong, and worse seeing those dismissed or ignored.
