Getting a 1000 will be tough. Considering only the top 1000 have a 1000 now. We need a kaw-vention again.

Really? ATA didn't see that coming? Maybe you should hire one of those guys that did "workshop" in school. They surely would be smart enough to have anticipated this ....
Both shard drops AND Plunder duplication from blade should be seriously downgraded when attacking lower strength then u. The bigger the strength difference, the lower the reward should be.
And yes, I use "strength". I know this a concept foreign to ATA, but strength is the total of:
BFA
BFE
Pro-Pack bonuses
Clan Bonuses
Pots
Spells
and yes also CS...

Back in the day, it was still possible to grow, I can't even manage to get HLBC for a week without KaW adding additional layers on top. Not even talking about HF BC. My HFBC friends get double the plunder I get. Do the math, by the time I get close, T7 will be there etc... etc...
Not too mention the fact that most HFBCs already have the funds for T7 in their ally armies....

They only care about BC people all us trying to catch up get shafted by hfbc guys and can't do anything they should give something for how the smaller people were wronged in this event

Glad tou are changing it next time around. Some players have intentionally sabotaged this event for others.
I know the stealing items was moose's idea as he begged for it for months. But the larger builds often ignore the needs of all players.
May I suggest also that rather than shards in future you use mith with a lower drop amount. An opt in with highlighted colour.
With mith as the drop and not losing it. It would encourage the purchase of the spells for increased drops.
It would encourage pvp as people could see the equipment they desire from the alchemist and aim for that equipment and upgrades using mith.
It would validate the pvp aspect being action based and enable all players to hit battle list for a reward they want.
For those with max mith equipment a new level of equipment could be added but only obtainable by upgrading the preceding item.
Also what I think this event has shown is that many players fear pvp due to growth requirements. The best gameplay and fun though for most come from pvp and it causes a real buzz. More players will want to pvp if build complete is not such a distant target. It encourages clans to fight and work together. Whilst allowing individual targets still to matter.
Overall fun event. And glad you did it. Thank you.

PvP events restore balance. Conflicts arise, bigs lose income but gain rewards.
Whereas the little guys can opt out and upgrade, try catch up.

thats not the point -.- the point is the bigs are chewing on the little guys rather then facing off with others in their rang. The little guys also want to want to participate but cant because they are being mauled by accounts 2/3 times their size and losing all the shards they gained.

For the next PvP event they need to have battle list bring up participants and not people just logging in. In other words, be able to quickly find people who are actively participating.
It's difficult to find good shard payout from BL.
Also regarding the loss/gain:
I had been inactive for several months. I logged in every now and again just to . I came back full force when I saw this event. To show my support I spent roughly $500 on nobs and xstals. The first three days I max xstalled and wound up at about 1000 shards by night one, 1300 night two. Lost 300-400 on night 2. By night three I was at 1800. Night three I lost 800 shards and roughly 200 on day four. I've since stopped crystalling and have been spamming feedback. As expected ATA goes about their thing.
Also I am sure now many people have realized the ridiculous battle mechanics. ATA math seems backwards.
guy A with 15mil attack hits guy B that has 10mil defense. Guy A loses 60% of his hits. BFA and BFE equal. Apparently stats don't matter or ATA's math is wrong. It may not seem like a big deal to the devs because they don't have to spend money on crystals. They see no problem with having to burn 3 crystals to pin one guy.
I guess that's what you get hiring Microsoft and Google's rejected software engineers then only paying them 89k a year. Hopefully they can pay off their student loans with that payout.
ATA you're a selfish company that clearly shows favoritism. How is it that most of KaW knows when accounts are purchased yet even when reported you guys turn a blind eye? Is that you staying connected with your "hacker culture" and remaining innovative by being shady business people?
Do you guys even test your game updates or events before releasing them? When you do it do you do it off your servers?

Events fun until you hit the wrong guy and a clan starts pounding on you. Some see the logic "I am over double his size maybe 100 hits is enough."
Others seem I adhere to the logic "improve your build or Shutup."
Seems like accounts over double your size shouldn't be able to hit for 3% of your shards per hit.
How about making the threshold for hits more logical...like within 10MCS to hit or to get shards.
Either way I think 400 hits most by guys double your size is more than "all in fun for the event." At some point it's just ruining the game.

Val that was part of my post. Why should these wars only cater to the big. It's is an exclusive set up that excludes the majority of customers
Doing it your way it would mean all small players might as well quit kaw now. There needs to be a balance.

"Back in the day". Vixen. Big accounts where 300k. You at least stood 1/2 a chance of hitting back now sighes I get wiped out by two or three accounts three or four times my size before I even get a news feed telling me I have been hit once Lag and nerf ing or boundaries between who can hit and who is defender to weak to hit or attacker to strong to hit is just ridicules I've had kingdoms attacking that have BFE twice my CS,BFE, BFA prop acts and clan bonus combined tbh what chance of true partisapation did small or mid size accounts have ?
