Tanks Running Up and Down Feast Spawns w/ Medals

With so much LB coming out you have to kind of camp it out. Here's my problem with the big stacks: Once one team makes a big stack, it stays a big stack for the rest of the game, which isn't as fun. So if the enemy goes 9 stack, dies, now I have to go 8 or 9 stacks, now I have to camp in the spawn and run around, then I die, and now the other tank is 9 stack. You rinse and repeat this until the clock hits 0. So to me it's just kind of dumb that either tank can set off a chain that hurts the "integrity" of the match.

The largest issue with this is dps just not picking up medals. In Solo que if you say that 25% of dps are actually ok to good, but then it is like only 1 out of 5 of those (so 5% of all dps) are good and pick up medals.

This happened twice to me in a row yesterday where I get first drop, then second comes... We get a third kill.... At this point the coins are about to be lost or I have to pick up and will have 7 stacks.

Now I have half a match where I am sitting at 7 stacks, at somepoint the other team will focus me, and I need to be in tank stance or not wipe the floor in 1.5 seconds. As a tank in tank stance my dps to the fight is kind of pointless given so little, so my best bet for the win is to run around and just and hold the other team off from killing me. Do I like this? NO

And the problem got worst yesterday, as people saw "medals got adjusted" and for who knows what reason think tanks can take all the stacks again, so they are not picking up more then ever.

If the Dps/healer who lost those medals picks it up, they will be at most 2 stacks. The issue is, they will never actually pick it up.

i have make a macro to call dps to take the coin, i try to get 4 stacks and no more, but if the enemy tanks make a hugh coin stacks, i still have the same problem.
I realy hate this because when a hugh stacks is make it just break the game and make it like a coin stacks ping pong party.
Just LB this guy in the last 30 second and your loose = win

Dps picks medals, tank don't take 10 stacks XD

Which is why a lot of (solo queue) matches can just devolve into a giant game of hot-potato. It's fairly jarring that so many matches end up being decided in the last half-minute of the game.

I've done this 3 times today.

5% health left with stacks and 9 seconds on the clock? Living Dead ooooo I'm a spooky zombie :3c. I can't imagine how mad people get, it must be great.

Yup this is a huge problem. Even if you as a tank, or the tank on your team is smart enough to not hoard medals up to absurd stack counts its irrelevant if the opposing team does it anyway.

This kinda reminds me of the hide the flag tactics from Warsong Gulch in WoW, strategy is strategy. As someone pointed out, you can anticipate the movements and head them off.

Just had a ninja cheese the match with 280medals and hide majority of match, SE need to make Detect an aura/duration skill or drastically lower the cd if they are going to allow this in feast. Kinda hard to go play hide and seek with a 150s cd and my solo team once again ignoring "the ninja is hiding". -eating more salty popcorn-

It seems that hiding with medals actually was a legitimate tactic and not an oversight on SE's part as they have had plenty of feedback on this and remained silent on the matter nor have they addressed it in any of the updates or dev notes. So annoying seeing all these Ninjas now. They consist of the vast majority of the melee dps queues on primal.
