AuthorPlayer afks are too often and cosistent.
So I have started playing again recently and I am noticing how many players afk.
Every group battle, there is at least 1 afk which ruins the mood for others, wastes our time and durability of equipment and the worst part is there is just no punishment for these people. We lose experience, our time, durability of arts that if we have rented for a good team battle costs thousands and this keeps happening over and over. I feel like this is one of the major issues that the admin needs to work on. Punish people who leaves battles constantly, fine them or or like before turn their luck negative or prohibit them from playing group battles.
And I dont think I have seen anyone report this topic and the admins probably turned a blind eye towards this imo something needs to be done.
I'm sorry if there was another thread that I didnt see and started this.
Don't play group battles.
Tbh, most players who play group players are extremely shady. I have seen a couple players, especially day of 4x4 quick battles doing tons of quick battles. A quick look at that profile shows that they have very,very low skill levels and guilds, like their account only plays group battles.

You look at your transfer log and you see tons of illegal transfers.

What they do is go into group battles for the XP, and sometimes even AFK, cuz who cares?
All they need to do is level up and transfer all their gold to their main account or whatever they are doing.

I never bothered reporting them though, way too many of em but you are free to investigate and report if u want lol
Play Commander's guild fights?
Or do people afk there too?
Try CG, you've reached level 9
xp/fsp ratio is a lot better and there are minimum AP requirements
Also gives gold on victory
Or do people afk there too?
People AFK ocassionally, but a lot less than group battles.
That again, if someone AFK in CG i would pm him to pay for my arts, but most of time they ignore and dont bother sending gold.

Then u have the option to report them in forums but I dont think thats punishable unless it was on intention so too bad I guess?

People dont really AFK in CG though, apart from a few bad experiences where:
1. AFK at start of battle
2. Decides game is lost and go AFK
3. Goes AFK when they see an english player

U can stop no3. by communicating basic words in russian, using only numbers or don't communicate at all. There was a game when I used translate to speak in russian and my teammate said something about foreign brain etc in all chat and went afk.
- afk in commanders guild its very low
- and i suggest not to write / read chat in cg, just play your best and learn for next one. To write / read the chat will make you loose focus and if your partner is an idiot better if you keep your cool.
Get to CL 9 and do CG as told above

And it’s generally very very good in there, I haven’t had a single guy going afk so far and fair AP makes the game good :D

Isn't that kind of racist? I mean, if there are penalty for insults and everything, there should be one too.

But my point is, I play this game as a fun so I am not looking to spent thousands of gold in a single group battle I'm just trying out stuff and passing my time while I work on different tabs so wouldn't it be great if JUST IF, the Empire brings back (or brings a new) punishment for people who often afk and let these people know what they are doing is wrong because this is a sports and that's unsportsmanshp, but if Empire do not care about that then maybe illegals transfers shouldn't be such a big concern for this game since cheating is simply cheating and people cheating in video games is pathetic but not getting punished for the same si even worse.
But this is just my opinion, maybe the gaming culture from where I am is different than that of this game so who know :)
Do let me know what you guys think and maybe if many people feel the same way as I do, maybe this could be solved in a near or distant future.
for SHadyReaper:
Sorry but no, I was like you, fighting for fair treatment.
But as someone told me, we are alone in a russian world.

Nobody cares about us, we don't even get our translations on time, sometimes not at all.
Isn't that kind of racist?

Its a very rare occurrence.
And if you would go through the logs it was a good matchup of both guys going at it, you can find it in the complaints forum I think :)

we are alone in a russian world.

but enjoying it, is the reason why we are still here :P

for SHadyReaper:

the reason for GBs being shitty is because very few proper players actually do it nowadays, with all the events, and the PvP purists go to CG, GBs can be weird at times, but after 3 turns the control is taken over by AI so yes, it can be mehh, but its a much much better thing than insta die and -3 luck, at least with AI control you get support
And if you would go through the logs it was a good matchup of both guys going at it, you can find it in the complaints forum I think :)
Indeed a rare occurence, the difference is the russian player is unpunished and the com server player is punished.

My advise as I mention would be to not respond to them or type in english. I have learnt from my mistake and although i am not happy with the unfair treatment, I have decided that this is something I have to live with.

Again I want to emphasize, calling your teammate stupid in english is allowed, while in russian is not allowed. Feel free to type in english but they wont understand anyway.
I mean if y'all just giving up I dont know if there's a point to this thread lol
I think there are at least 20-25% english speaking people in this game and if most of us take a stand maybe the mods or the admins of this game would listen and give us a fair treatment because I do believe english speaking people donate as much as any other and this is just another "pay to win" russian game so if they charge us the same money, we should get equal treatment, our views should be respected and our voice be heard.
Once again, free to play and pay to win are 2 different terms so dont confuse one with the other,, but the sole point of this thread was to have some punishment for the people who afk and if the mods fails to control so, this is just gonna be another dead game.
I think there are at least 20-25%

Proportion is closer to 5% - 10%, and even that's a high estimate.

I do believe english speaking people donate as much as any other and this is just another "pay to win" russian gam

Having spoken to and battled with / against the big donors, the amount the English speaking community donates pales in comparison to the Ru side of things. If English speaking community makes up 5% of community, they won't even make up 1% of total donations.
Well good talk
GGs!
2. Decides game is lost and go AFK
I do this very often. And I'm not going to stop.
They should give us a resign option in CG.
This is the natural consequence of them not doing so.
ShadyReaper, As long as their coffers are getting filled the admins don't care about afk, belittling non-Russians, etc. Also this game has been a dead game for some time now. The way this game is designed was maybe fine 8+ years ago but nothing about it is fine for the time we are in now. Let me put it this way: if you introduce this game to someone new that can take their pick out of millions of online games and tell them that when you lose a battle you have to wait fifteen minutes before you can play again, and if it is thieving then you need to wait for at least an hour before you can go thieving again, that when you do a hunt then the next one appears 40 minutes later, then that person will call you insane for even playing this game because in this game the game decides when and how much you can play. Instead of letting you play as much as you want when you want it, it is the other way around. With time restrictions like these for todays gamer it is like trying to play a game while being shackled down. So no new players join this game. All those newly created accounts for well over 2 years now are nothing but multi accounts to fatten up their main accounts. So untill the donations that are decreasing each time completely dry up, they will keep on flogging the dead horse. And there are even those upon that horse will keep on doing their best to completely ignore this to keep holding the wool upon the eyes of the rest.
This topic is long since last update and considered obsolete for further discussions.
