This isn’t win trading - some territories are economically unviable because of the state of the game. They either keep it and not pay taxes (no benefits for anyone) or they let someone take the burden of paying it all.
A lot of servers are struggling to get actual gold injections.
Yea you aren’t wrong. But deliberately not finishing a war is against TOS, there’s no way.
if you didn’t want it then don’t declare tbh
No it isn’t. In war, you have to sometimes give up land if you cannot afford to govern it.
This is not against TOS, Amazon won’t force or mandate people to send their entire 50 man into a defence if they don’t have/want to.
Win trading, in games, is usually a financial incentive based activity where one team is paying the other team to lose hence ( win trade ).
the company that threw the war intentionally was the team attacking not defending, they declared with 0 desire to own the land
it wasn’t a defense war it was an attack.
plus the ToS also just states throwing matches, not even incentivized throwing
Especially considering that they are wanting to lose.
AFAIK there is no useful method to relinquish control of a Settlement. If you don’t pay up it simply starts downgrading stuff, and that doesn’t really help anyone of any faction.
Maybe they found out too late they don’t want to own the settlement, but certainly declaring war only to forfeit is weird.
If they continue to do that then I might be suspicious that they are indeed win-trading because deliberately losing an attack means the defender keeps the settlement and Companies have to start over building up to declare war again.
theres no garentee to how long its been happening, we just transfered here and notice it
Taking over a settlememt you cannot afford to pay upkeep on just degrades the settlement all the way back to zero.
All that does is screw everyone from using that place to craft.
Those screenshots say in no uncertain terms that it was declared with intent to take and then afterward decided that taking it would be detrimental and the decision was made to not win.
That ain’t win trading.
They could just do what the greens did to my company, declare and then just not show up at all so we got forced to AFK for 30 minutes in an empty war.
They at least are going to use it to let people who would normally not be invited actually get some experience.
if it wasn’t this post, it would be a post from someone on Green complaining about how unfair the server is and how they are quitting because there is no chance for marauders on their server.
See the problem…?
Happening on Valhalla Na East 2 weeks into the game… Empherium clan (was yellow then went purple) chopping and changing wars and politics of the server, not to mention other purples on there with mock wars handing towns over and threatening people to stay inside the walls or get kicked!
The people that are making this an issue are the server transfers that were losing on El Dorado, they couldn’t win a war there and came into Diranda and expected to roll the wars here. They lost miserably their first war and got a taste of reality now they want to spread their cancel culture to what used to be our nice and fun faction. If you reply or comment on anything that has been stated it proves my point. Don’t listen to them cry about them not getting their way, they haven’t ever gotten their way in this game and they’re persistent about making sure nobody else can do the same.
On my server, Oceana A guild swapped from Green to Yellow. They had half their members go over to yellow and declare war (All level 60s) on their own town of Windswards, kicked/banned the rest of greens level 60s so they couldn’t defend, and put 25 of their members left in green to stand in cannon fire and be afk and throw the match. Once the war was over and WW went to their Yellow guild, most of them then left green. IMO, if AGS states something as against TOS, and fails to uphold it, then the rules are meaningless. Hopefully AGS reviews all the reports and bans the appropriate players permanently. These players will and should be forced to buy a new game and spent all the stolen gold releveling their characters up.
Honestly this is exhausting.
It’s frustrating to watch you only include half the conversations that were had and multiple times it was explained that there was a miscommunication about declaring.
Geno is also *not the leader of Yellow Hoodies, so incorrect. You attempted to put the screenshot of “they use to be green” but failed to put the other text where the same player said “why wouldn’t they want to take it”.
You only hear YOUR personal side of the conversation in your clip, again convenient that even though you have discord access you cannot hear us explaining that it was a mistake, we apologized and said this is a great time to be able to have inexperienced players play the war. Those players who usually do not get the chance due to a lot of players being level 60.
A majority of Yellow Hoodies moved over to bring more balance to the game, therefore making it more enjoyable. As Green we had plenty of territories and Yellow had 0, if we wanted to “win trade” for Green then Yellow would still have no territories.
Not everyone is cynical in this game like you. You could not get a settlement in your server, you switched to Diranda and literally said “We heard PVP was bad and it would be easy” , told people that if they weren’t level 50 yet then they’re shit, and continued trying to bully users for how they choose to play a game THEY paid for all within the first few hours you joined. Of course people are going to be upset and that is on YOUR attitude you presented to everyone.
We never gained nor lost anything, everyone except your little group (which we let you participate in after you had been iced out of the other wars because of the numerous rude comments towards others) had a great time and enjoyed having the opportunity to play. Every single other person was understanding when we told them what had happened, you said no such thing to ANYONE until the middle of the war when you began to message everyone and threaten to get them banned.
It’s a video game, let people have fun.
Imagine transferring to a new server just to get mad on how they operate lmao See replies for the screenshots of one of their consuls that came to me about it, dude blocked me after disrespecting me. lmao clown
If attacking a company that holds 2 towns its best to put both in to conflict and send their best to 1 and their worst to the other.
The attacking company can then decide which town to take. Will they opt for the easy win or the hard win with a possibility of spreading the defenders too thin?
On my server there’s a company that held 3 towns. The entire faction put all 3 towns in conflict at the same time and took 2 of them while ignoring the 3rd but speaking up in global that were taking their main town to get their best sent there. We didn’t even show up to that war and it got auto filled with lvl 20’s.
This is a strategy not exploit. Like your screenshot its free XP, loot and azoth.
If Amazon wants to claim “not giving 100%” during a war is against their TOS then you will so no more conflicts until everyone is maxed gear, maxed level and someone finds a new meta that allows easy land grabs.
Win trading would be for example: agreeing with another faction to trade towns. I hold FL and you ask for it. I agree and prevent my side from being able to defend it allowing you the win without hassle. OR im yellow that holds FL, I faction swap to purple while leaving behind a friend, put my own town in to conflict and have my friend kick everyone out of the war so I can trade the town to myself.
Now if I’m wrong on this then fair enough but if that is the case then no more wars for the foreseeable future. Have you ever tried to take a fully upgraded everfall? It’s a nightmare
Win trading doesn’t only involve trading of towns. o.O
