Hey,
since ages now there are always people farming their own accounts, or paying "Carry Services" for Defensive Ticks. Especially at 3 am, without any action on the map, those dudes getting 300k ap/h, and that's without underpop Bonus, and as I've said without any action on the map.
I am not one of those "omg someone is better then me, he is literally cheating"-persons, I have seen them doing those "duels" at Brindle/BB/BM at 3 am in the morning, and suddenly those dudes winning everytime vs 9 of those 10 people.
Easy solution, no AP Def Ticks before a Keep is burning, and everyone is able to see where the AP Farm of the day is.
