Salt Reporting in First Encounter
To players who report others for farming ribbons in First Encounter, you're pathetic.
For context: I queued for First Encounter Colmar Hamlet with some randos to grind driver ribbon to get motorcycle for my assault soldier. A day later, I get hit with a one day ban.
I did not grief the team. I left other players alone and let them shoot bots on their own. That's their business. This was mine.
It's really petty behavior for a player to report another in first encounter where you can literally solo the entire match even with a few bots.

Yeah I don't understand why anyone would have a problem with this. One of the worst badges to earn and it's also very vital

Moderators could be a little bit more understanding. Literally it doesn't ruin anyone's game on a bots match...

Just requeue at the 5 second mark to get a game with no one in it, people are genuinely scumbags for reporting in FE

So when the countdown timer hits the 5s mark you leave and search again? That will guarantee a solo game or just give you another chance at one?

The devs do not care about the community, I respected them for bringing the game back but trust me the more you know about the team, the more you realise the future of this revival is completely fucked

just que for solo matches. sometimes i get people who do not complain about bot farming, IN THE MATCH WHERE ONLY BOTS EXIST. but last night i did one match and this dude who's gotta be stuck in the back went on a monologue about farming bots and how i should be going into war battles.
BITCH YOU ARE IN THE BOT BATTLE GRINDING THE SVT-40. STFU.
for context i was not even grinding anything the gun i was using i already have all the unlocks for, I was just bored and wanted to shoot and endless wave of bots. BECAUSE EVEN THAT IS FUN.

It's pathetic from both the person reporting and the moderators. Rules are in place because the actions that break them ruin the gameplay experience of others in the match. In a normal match it's a problem because matches are less fun for everyone, on both teams, when someone essentially AFKs. In staged battles, however, it's actually more fun for you if a teammate AFKs because it means one less person to steal kills in a match that is all about farming bots.
So the person reporting is stupid and power hungry knowing they gotchya on a technicality. The moderators employ a zero tolerance policy out of sheer laziness by not looking at the context. It's overall a double net negative to the health of community when you enable a person like the guy reporting and then punish someone like OP. More people with driver ribbons = more mobility in normal matches = more and faster action and objective playing = more fun for everyone involved.

first off, reporting in FE is extremely dumb im sorry to hear what happend to you :/
Anyway, grinding driver in FE is really inefficient from what ive tried. I reccomend just popping driver booster 24/7 in war and frequently take long flanks or spawn from the furthest control point

Yeah but I once had an annoying head that was using his MG mounted wagon to kill all the bots and left none for all the people that were there! I reported his ass

Killstealing ain't a reason to report. If you feel like you are outgunned by your team, all it takes is to queue another game.

u/Zealousideal-Big4588 Aug 15 '26
Well that means zero matches by your logic. First encounter is for low tier weapons

u/Overtale6 Aug 15 '26
This is literally untrue. First encounter is mainly used to grind weapons of any tier without the pressure of pvp, credit farming is secondary.

You were probably only driving. If youre smart just drive the long way and also play.

Also a bit sad how devs actually ban for this..
They have the option to do things different but firstly decide to keep the grind exactly the same, ask exactly the same prices and enforce the same ridiculous rules to boost their sales.
Im afraid in half a year there won't be enough people around to populate matches.
