I don't think my posts could be construed as encouraging anyone to break the rules.
But to be clear - as long as the TOS are as they are - teams
should be punished for intentionally losing in the playoffs to farm points or any other violations of the TOS.
My point is more a questioning of the rationale for the rule about tanking. How is tanking to gain perfect points any less of a manipulation of the game economy than buy a few hundred dollars worth of points and driving the price of cards up so that an FTP player can have little hope of ever gaining enough to complete missions?
(I understand that the whales buying points greatly benefits the devs and will - should - not be banned. But is it not a form of manipulating the game economy?)
