Higher rank player crashing lower rank players fleet on purpose. How is this different when lower rank player sends entire fleet to attack #1 players moon?
Back in the old days without MP, crashing fleets were the only way to push. This is the same thing happening, but only difference is defender is tricked. So now whenever someone needs to push, they can just coordinate a BS attack like this and take all the DF.
I don't need to sell my fleet on MP anymore if I wanna quit, I'll just act like I'm tricked and go and launch on rank 1.
EDIT: It's a different story if ACS Attacker tells his friends and his friends defend on their own, but ACS attacker sends his own fleet to crash the other ACS Attacker, which is rank 40. Rank 2 player pulling crap like this to improve in the server.
The difference is, based on the information provided, the lower ranked player did NOT send the attack for the SOLE purpose of ending up in the higher ranked players recyclers.
If you have evidence that rank 40 did indeed know it was a trap, and that he INTENTIONALLY flew his fleet so it would be recycled, then yes that WOULD be pushing.
Your first few paragraphs say nothing about this case.. and describe EVERY crash made against a weaker player, which 99 times out of 100, is what happens in this game.
So now, according to you, no high ranked player should crash a lower ranked player (whether it was involving a 3rd party or not) because it would be pushing, as the attacker PLANNED to crash the lower ranked player, even if the lower ranked player was not a part of the planning.
As for your edit..
I ask again.. HOW is it different if rank 2 called in someone else to crash rank 40 as he recalled his ships? it's the EXACT same betrayal, just a 4th party is involved who may, or may not get a slice of the DF.
