If there was an achievement that you could only get from this war and not elsewhere, and people couldn't achievement complete, so what? You can't permanent item complete unless you were here last year and got that orb thing they gave out or whatever that perm item was they gave out to everyone who was playing a long time ago. You can't get the perm item from 80 nob point or 320 nob point editions of the game either, unless you were playing a long time ago when they were available.
And I can't get an NFL Superbowl ring just cause I want to.
Not everybody gets everything that everybody else gets. Well, unless you're living in some insanely super-super-Socialist system like from a 50'a sci-fi story or something.
To be honest, any player in the game could be top 2000 in a matter of less than one day, if they can get like 50 people to each volley them $1b or $2b. And before anybody asks, no, I will not volley you $1b or $2b.
It would not surprise me if the devs make a concession war to satiate the complainers. But like when people complained and complained, and the devs caved in and gave out free clans to every clan that had a formal thread documenting their existence (if you don't remember what I'm talking about...) and then those same people complained and complained when the achievement system didn't give them a free achievement for creating a clan. You didn't create a clan! You were handed one for free, for nothing, because you had made a thread! Eesh!
So, hyperbolized agitation aside, seriously, no matter how any change in this game goes down, no matter what system is implemented, no matter what new feature or in this case it's KaW throwing their own birthday party, people always complain and whine and stomp their feet and make demands... C'mon people. Go down to Major League Baseball and stomp your feet and yell and convince them to let you pitch for the AL in next year's All-Star game. Cmon!!
