Only malfunction here is how he plays. He is in BA and has already cleared the IA PvP tower on the continent map and yet he complains abouit PvP fights being closed off. Does that make sense to you?

If I would choose to progress, I still wouldn't have access to PvP. You have to research nearly all of Iron Age to get to it. Camping or not, it wouldn't make the quest go any faster at all. Now allow me to speculate here that it would make the new quests, between the battle quests take longer to complete since all the collection requirements increase. So from that perspective moving to Iron Age, even 3 or 4 days a go could actually cost me in the event.
But many of you are far too worried with your chew toy "lets call him a camper" to think about that.
In any age, if I struggle to make goods, supplies, or what not, it's a horrible idea to move up while a quest is on. It's no different in BA, moving to IA.

PvP is not the only way to fight. If you move to Iron Age you can access GvG so you do not need to wait until the end of the IA research. Also with Iron Age troops you can do more fighting on the continent map. Do not complain about a self imposed road block to progress. Those that really want to complete the quests will find a way. Even if it means swapping fp for goods or finding a good guild to help.

My apologies if you weren't complaining but it came across as complaining and seems I wasn't the only one to interpret it that way. If you weren't complaining what were you doing?

You can ignore it all you want, but why free the IA PvP tower if you don't have access to it anyhow.

It's really just a constructive argument that this quest seems steeply disproportionate in comparison to others and why it is like that. This won't mean that they block me, they just require special attention. And I would speculate that they could cause trouble for newcomers to the game. The newcomer would probably not knowing what to do spend a lot of time ignoring the quest until the situation changes. By that time they could miss out on the main prizes. I know I'm tempted to do it like that too. But going up an era makes every other aspect of the quest harder. I'm happy to say I'm doing quite well trading for IA goods, I'm not sure why anymore I need them, since I haven't examined every quest to come. But it can stay there as a break in emergency should a quest give me the option of donating to a guild.
The two quests that were detailed in the first post are complete. But there are another two similar to them to come.

I can't speak for firestormfury but I would be progressing the continent to get expansions. Access to the IA tower just comes with the territory. Can't remember if the story quest gives you some unattached IA troops while still in BA. Been too long since I started from scratch to remember.

From what I've seen new players either storm forward asap into iron age or they just stop playing in BA because everything takes too long for them. They are too new to the game to really be in a position to know the best strategies. I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule but in general that is what I have witnessed. Maybe it is a little hard for new players dropping in during an event to finish it but then again maybe they are also lucky as they have an opportunity to get a few extras early on in the game even if it isn't the main prize.
When I first started I was in a hood of 4 players. For two weeks I had no idea it was meant to be any different. In one way it was detrimental because I had few players to motivate and at that time wasn't clued up on friend requests and that sort of thing. On the plus side I won the towers with not much of a challenge.
You play what is in front of you. Sometimes it isn't entirely fair but such is life.

Well, here's an update.
Yes, now I need to do 5 without loosing. hmm....
The battles are getting harder.
Just so you know, FoE fanclub says I've been "camping" for 7 days.... Now who can say they've never been in an era for more than 7 days? Camping Indeed.

The lowest 5 neighbors.
It is most likely that you have to combat 2 brave yet suicidal spearmen.

I would say that looking at how many fp's are needed to complete BA and the time you have spent there then yes it can be considered as camping. I do not see camping as a bad thing it has its benefits but also has some drawbacks. The same as rushing through the ages has positive and negative aspects to it.
DeletedUser110620
Well in other games, camping is seen as staying in one spot, doing nothing, or close to nothing. Just waiting for opportunities like for someone to walk by, then snipe them... I will give you this much, just gathering alone should be considered camping. However as can be seen, I've been constructing new great buildings for instance. If I would take your word for camping to be a measure of pure FP earned over time, and how many are required by the tech tree. Then it's pointless to label someone as a camper, since everyone in the game is camping. It's like calling me Human. It's redundant. Maybe I should call you an air breather, just so you're not the only one around using pointless labels.
DeletedUser99588
I'm not really interested in other games interpretations of words. In this game camping is staying in an Age well past the time you need to complete it. In seven days you could have moved from bronze age to Iron Age at least twice. If someone stays in an age for twice as long as they have to then it sure does look like they are camping for a while. Like I said nothing wrong with that but getting all huffy about it when a number of players point this out to you is a little immature.
DeletedUser111359
At this point the only reason you are still in BA, is because you choose to be. And if you're choosing to limit your game to what you can in IA, then you're choosing to make the event hard to complete as well. It's not at all the fault of the game at this point, and it's entirely your own fault.
Any rational player would have moved up an era, and be banging through the event without a problem.
