Dear Staff,
I know this is probably not the right place to post my concern. But since the territories update was released our faction has been declared on 24/7, there is literally no peace at all.
I know our faction is a tasty target, relative large amount of low level players. As it was a problem before the new territories release, smaller weaker faction getting bashed on, being used as a filler, the problem became a lot worse now. As in the new situation the larger factions have something to gain (more upgrades), compared to a situation where they maxed all usefull upgrades, all top factions started warring.
On a side note, territorial warfare doesnt seem to give you anything respect wise in relation to energy spent. Doesnt seem right to me either. Final concern: most factions are doing termed warfare atm. It, just doesnt seem right. I hope you guys are working on changing the warring system to something that makes more sense.
My apologies for using this forum thread.

This is the way it's been for many years, the only difference is perhaps the duration of wars due to more respect.
The fix is to replace the current warring / chaining system with something new, which will no longer require 'filler factions'. This is something we're working on but there's no date of release.
It has absolutely not always been this way - it has never been this bad and with every war now being a "full" 2.5k respect war you're now seeing small to medium sized filler factions being hit anything up to 500-700 times in some wars.
Throw in big factions now working together in fake wars in which they are racking up 10-15k+ respect against each other and arranging for everybody involved to claim a victory bonus or two and the filler is now getting smashed harder and for longer.
Atleast there should be a short term fix to it if the new system is work in progress and has no release date? Does that mean small factions will be bashed for next year or two? Something should be done to atleast discourage some use of filler factions, and mainly fake wars!
a 100% agreed. in the last 5 weeks my faction got declared on more then in the last 2 years or so. this coupled with those farming-for-respect wars are an issue and need to be looked into.
stop being ****ing pussies, build stats and fight back
Well I guess another 2-3 years?
I'll bring it up with the committee for discussion.
One quick fix might be to raise the "cap" for how much respect is required to claim to 1mill respect instead of 10k on hand. 10k is ridiculously small for the state of the game atm. So fighting against the OP's faction with 685k respect on hand would only require 1712.5 respect to get to 100% instead of the full 2500. Better than nothing, and wouldn't affect most larger factions who are already over 1mill.
Another thought for OP: you should band together with other similar factions to keep a state of constant fake war between each other so that your war bases are always full and you can't be declared on. Then make sure you hit each other at least once per day to keep them from timing out. Use the system to your advantage just like the larger factions are doing!
Off topic: Ched please accept my Committee app :D
Yeah either do what Handsome is saying or make it so that only pre-update respect + any gained since update is taken into consideration when one faction declares on other. Basically simply don't take "credited for reset" respect into calculation, and no more 2500 respect needed wars.
Off topic as well: I don't know Handsome guy Pants very well but let him/them(?) in goddammit!
