I legitimately got my 500 battles in. So did quite a few other players.

So why not you too?

Was Kardas the player who had the 3 Ox Cultists as his support characters to his Eddie? If it is I noticed it was strange. He popped up on my list having around 4500 VP if I remember right. When I saw his team I thought he must have had a lot of fights and victories to be so high. When I won and the victory screen showed his points had dropped so low that he didn't lose any! I didn't realise he had finished 10th in the rankings.

I'm pretty sure Kardas was gaining points with wins but not losing them with losses. Certainly not his fault - and i do think he's let Spartan know.

Cool, thx Nicko. Remember it happening in beta too

I don't know if this is related to anyone else's experience with pvp, but my first week back in the game I was able to rush into 24th from unranked in the last couple days. I had made around 140 attacks but was only hit back 12 times. I thought at the time I was invisible to the matchmaking system because I went up so fast, but later Sparton mentioned something on here about it happening if you don't play the first couple days of the new week. I don't know if it's been fixed or if anyone else has experienced this. But it happened to me, so I'd imagine other people have noticed it too.

Edit: just to clarify a bit, this only happened once to me. After that first week my ratio has been pretty close to 1:1. I haven't tried sitting out the first few days to see if it works.

I had indeed PMed Sparton earlier this morning and was waiting for him to respond but seeing this my hand has been forced.
It is basically as Nicko says.
As a result of the Coming Home Event, I started playing PVP this week. As in, I literally did the tutorial or something this week and set up a defense, after which I could start clearing lists. It was interesting, considering I had 250 Sands of War that I could throw at it, compiled from months of not playing PVP.
The only problem is, for an entire week my defense was listed at zero fights. While I know for a fact that I have been attacked.
Someone showed me a screenshot of his upon victory where he got points for beating me but I lost none. In fact, the only way I could lose points this week was by attacking something myself and losing.
So somehow, the game's not registering that I have a defense. Perhaps because I had way too much SoW than was good for me. Or because I'm a strange case by not starting PVP upon release. Or somewhere, I did something horribly wrong during the tutorial.
I have no idea how this happened and I did not mean to take advantage of this. It's just that this event, this bug, and my ridiculous SoW stack turned into some perfect storm. I had hoped this weirdness would pass upon reset but as of writing this post my defense is still at a (0/0)

I take offense! They were Corrupt Ox Souls. And they're better than you think!
But seriously, consider the free points from my crappy defense as some sort of consolation.

I didn't make it, as either my phone is about to brick, or the servers were that bad. Couldn't get back in the game for two hours at one point... but I digress, I played all 446 of my battles. I get why people threw some... but my thinking was, if I spent all that time doing it, I wanted my rewards for the weekly rank as well. Why not get my ironite back? Always play to win.

The perfect defense broke the game.

Hey Kardas,

Congrats on a killer first week! You certainly know how to make a name for yourself :p

Clearly, this wasn't your fault but more so a glitch the devs must address right away.

Saying that, I believe you shouldn't lose any rewards because of this flaw in the system. Hopefully the devs can include those who finished 11th and 12th with top 10 rewards for fairness' sake.
