this map is constantly in “most engaging” on both the website and in game yet frotnitegg cannot see them getting into most engaging.
so what exactly is going on here? botting or something even more sinister?
i see a lot of these, actually. what makes them obvious is their playtime:
this most engaging tab in general looks really off, the tab isn’t visible in any analytics sites either, but its on the website and in game discovery on my xbox, sometimes on my pc but generally i see these maps bleeding into all the other variants of most engaging that are visible in analytics
the only one that seems kinda not botted is the bzm town but could be cause they got in collections and in most engaging other tabs
2nd page makes more sense, lumberjack, brainrot etc but still 3 suspicious look botted to me
a few make sense like lumberjack (100m+ pt) but these others getting 50m+ do not and their year analytics show it very clearly
i have seen these same maps for like a year in game and on the website which is why i bring it up. cannot show analytics on a tab that doesn’t exist for the last year though.
still. same thing. has been for a year+ now.
what excuse is there at this point? is it regional only? just pure incompetence on the moderation side? exploitation? most of these maps in this special undocumented “most engaging” are bots.
its very sus how many flaws this ecosystem has that have been an issue for a year+, maybe epic just isn’t aware of this because none of their reporting even works, everyone is scattered on some disgusting discord channel maybe? maybe employees shouldn’t be in some back ally discord channel and they should be watching their forums?
wake up
Its just an amateur run company, they want to keep evolving to unity and v bucks but in the meanwhile they cant handle the basics.
Uefn is always bugged discovery always terrible
Creators get treated like crap, moderation thinking they are gods looking down on creators wich they basicly are their is no supervision anywhere.
Amost like they think lets go after the fair creators just for fun and lett the same people scam their way into discovery
I dunno, saying they are amateur makes it out like this is some sort of mistake, i don’t think this is by mistake, a lot of these maps are just manually placed in these positions with no actual performance metric determining anything
It is exactly where it was when i originally posted this, so 15 days later.
I am noticing a pattern of this sort of behaviour.
Who is putting these people in these positions? this is obviously very manual.
NO ONE gets most engaging for this long with these sorts of stats.
And again, this is obvious botting just being ignored.
still there, more obvious than ever given it only has 3 players atm..
if this isn’t epic, i hope epic knows they are being trolled so its us being trolled or epic being trolled who knows, power pillar graph meme lul hue
either way, this is not a serious ecosystem anymore
This is just unacceptable and has been going on for far too long. A response from an epic games mod is needed in this thread
0 players yet its still #1 in this list. seen it do this multiple times.
all these maps in this list are sus af, these same maps have been rotating in multiple “most engaging” lists that dont exist on any analytics sights for years now, getting some odd ccu considering their discovery and their quality, it makes zero sense.
nothings changed.
its really simple, most engaging is full of botted maps, for obvious reason.
lets just blame it on the “algorithm”
never left 17d since last post. this just makes everything in most engaging, fan fave etc look sus. seeing some of them on home page lately. no moderation in sight.
Would be funny if the law changed on ip and Epic would be held accountable. I know some laws are changing in the EU this year for various things but idk if ip is a part of it.
How this system would be different if Epic was held to account for people doing this blatant ip ripoff on their platform tho.
Rewarded #1 Most Engaging in the actual most engaging tab.
These average session times tell you everything you need to know 
still top slot, and they were removed for a minute this morning, showcasing their actual player numbers coming from this tab, the map has maybe 40 actual players coming from this tab. just take a glance at the statistics and do your own research.
this algorithm has to do a better job at recognizing what a good map is cause at the moment all this algorithm does is reward this sort of leveraging of bots. a good 7 day retention seems to be what it really likes meanwhile that is the exact stat a botted map would excel in.
