Cool description, a little vague, but you can hide practically anything under it. Guilds were doing exactly that to secure victory, however, as in most things, it was necessary to find a certain balance.
I see this assertion a lot. Just because someone wasn’t interested in clicking 10k fights a season, they were ‘less active’? I was taught early on to snipe for income, and it has consistently yielded me more income than Gbg ever could (or has).
Fighting was yielding forge points, goods, and points. Snipping gives you only forge points so it allowed you to level your great buildings but not so much on the scoreboard. There is also quite a significant downside to snipping as you never know who you might piss off. I noticed you keep mentioning 10k fights, it's supposed to be a lot by your standard? As in mine, it's a warmup. In GbG you could easily do 3k forge points a day, how much do you do with your snipping?
It is normal for a farmer. Normal fighters do 4-5x their attrition limit. But you already said it’s a warmup for you. And you’re wondering why these changes needed to come in. You also mention that fighting was providing goodies, but you seem to have focused on the scoreboard as well. Most of us learned years ago that the strength of our cities had absolutely nothing to do with those fight numbers. And that is what you are seeing with your guildies who aren’t turning up now, I expect. ‘Progress’ isn’t the same thing as fight score or ranking based on no opposition fights.
Somehow I don't understand your need to constantly degrade the efforts of players who logged in 5 times a day and fought for their guild to win and get as many rewards as possible and you call them some kind of "farmers". 5x attrition limit starting from 120 would equal 600 battles per day, even after limiting the attrition limit to 80% it is possible to achieve a higher number (since every sector can be obtained with an 80% reduction). Before the change, most sectors had a 96% reduction so 10,000 battles per season is a small number as only a handful of sectors required 3 or 2 siege camps. I have no idea what you had to do to reach the limit so early, if you planned your map rotation well it was impossible.
If your guild was focused on 'providing fights' for your players to the tune of thousands of battles a day then I'm afraid you might find that you need to find a different focus to keep it together
Because they are farmers. We all logged in and fought for our respective guilds, regarding you comment about ‘planning map rotation’. We didn’t set up to ‘get as many rewards as possible’, or to plan any rotations. Simple as that. Tough if you didn’t see to it that your members were ready for the change, or your or your swap partners’ treasuries or members’ troops can’t take it.
Last season was boring so my numbers we indeed low. Sectors were open for hours and not taken that's honestly a problem you could address instead of nerfing active players to the ground. Add a few more leagues, and the need to win a certain number of rounds in a row to advance to the next group, cross-server GbG so there is more competition...
I know how many fights I did and it was slightly less than 10k. So you think the current ranking system is all good and doesn't need any tweaking cause all guilds in Diamon League 1000 LP have around the same power? As their placement would indicate if you like the numbers so much.Season before that must have even been more boring cause your numbers were around 10K. I told you numbers don't lie.
I see you complain about others not being competetive and having no skills. Does not look like anybody is good enough to play in your Fantasy League
This is the discussion thread, so I would happily label Ice’s comments here part of discussion, much as he and I have not been on the same page on feedback threads. I had not even checked your fight counts these past couple of seasons, but I did check your stats and gain some insight in the discrepancy between your ‘activity’ and e.g. mine over quite some time, and I would take it as vindication of the old style playbook. I repeat my question, what did you put all those fps on if not your guild goods buildings?
I invested quite a few in them, but I guess you could have checked that as well so the question seems a bit redundant.
So you completely dodged the question, doing like it was never placed, and continued in the personal attacks. Well, there is no need to continue the discussion with you as it is clearly a waste of time

But one last note to fill the gaps in your deductions:
Where there is a boring season I don't fight that much but it's because of the reason I described above as it's quite boring to control if the enemy guild needs 2 hours to take a sector of 4 and I never claimed to do over 10k every single season. For many season i far surpassed this mena, for some i was bellow no hard feelings
It was a warm-up for many seasons I had over the years. During my break times I could have ended with zero. When I end up with only 10k I know I was slacking for couple of days. That's why I am calling 10k a warm-up and not something I should be proud of.
