After seeing many people getting broken swords that didn't deserve it and many that didn't get it that did I am writing this thread to hopefully make people aware of the fact that the broken sword needs fixing. My first point: I have seen many people during wars do a few actions during a war and then leaving to leach off peoples rewards and not get a broken sword from it, yes the community can report this but reports only happen sometimes as many people can't be bothered with it. So these leaches get away with warring and making other people have less of a chance of winning. My second point: During Non-Event periods a warring player getting a broken sword isn't that big of a deal a lot will just war on an alt if they just war for fun(I say this as many people only war for fun, to update their EE Level or for event tokens as mithril isn't a worthwhile reward anymore unless you off system war/pvp where u use spells a lot as the mithril equipment that was meant to be really good is basically useless, but sorry this is me drifting off topic this is a whole other matter) but during events if a tryhard warrer gets a broken sword it can/will ruin the whole event for them as they have 3 wars they can't get tokens and these tryhard warrers will quite often be the ones that will war command and track and be very effective to a war clan, but for whatever reason(and these aren't just excuses but events that happen) they could go inactive by passing out(due to warring hard and trying to live their lives while doing so and they just can't take it anymore and pass out b4 a war and don't wake up until after it is over) or another case their internet crashes or phone dies or something occurs in real life and they can't just not war as they are locked in. These people then get broken swords when a lot who know them will feel they don't deserve them, yes nobody likes an inactive but it happens to many many people and people can understand this. My third point: a possible solution to this, a voting system with appeals, if a player goes inactive instead of going through support they can just vote whether they feel that player deserves a sword or not, I wouldn't know if the whole clan had to be unanimous or not, but this could Definitely work, the people leaking hard and not trying or listening would get their broken swords and the people who tryhard at war and are unlucky enough to be inactive during event will not get their sword. My 4th point: Appeals and abuse, first of all yes people could vote for a player to get a sword out of hatred and jealousy that the player is doing better at them in the event but that is why you would need several votes for the player to get the broken sword, plus we would then have a appeal system where if someone is voted a broken sword their war can be reviewed and if they were voted by multiple people out of hate they wouldn't get a broken sword, also this way moles and open PS should end up being a thing of the past(will explain further in my 5th point) My 5th point: levels of war banning, currently I believe it's 3days for complete inactivity and 10 days if reported to support about being a leach, but this can be changed, depending on if it is event or not there should be different levels of war banning and also for repeat offenders, and also people should have a get out of jail card(the get out of jail card could make no need for the voting system) but for instance if someone moles all the time they can get given 3day sword then 10day then maybe monthly sword to deter repeat offending and a get out of jail card could mean during events people would have 1 chance to redeem themselves they would have their sword either taken away or shortened and this get out of jail free card would then just an option come back after a month, so you would have 1 card per month(or maybe make them only available for events so 1 card per event, I am sure this get out of jail card would help people feel a lot more safer spit warring knowing on the unlikely occasion they might go inactive for the reasons stated above they could take their sword away and carry on warring. Because let's be honest the idea of the broken sword was to stop people not trying in wars and wasting peoples times, not to stop people trying to war and getting a sword because they try too hard and get a lack of sleep because of it. Please only related comments Apologies for lack of colour and stuff but I wanted to focus on content and not look of thread. Apologies for any spelling or grammar error and please no haters Ty for your time reading this thread
FYI this thread is just me observing the warring community and not me crying about broken swords To sum it up for noobs like milky (<3 u really) 1st point: Leaches need dealing with 2nd point: People trying hard on wars during events get unfairly punished 3rd point: possible solution: Voting system 4th point: Appeals and abuse how the voting system will be more suitable 5th point: how to get rid of repeat leaches and moles and leaks and a possible introduction out of a get out of jail free card
Anyone that got a broken sword shouldn't have casted. If your internet goes down, you should have your device linked with your phone or something similar as a back up. If you fell asleep then you shouldn't have casted. You know your body better than anyone and if you're tired you should know not to cast. If in an accident or family member is in the hospital, broken sword will be the least of your worries for the next couples days so you're fine.
