The new war system was a rather drastic change form the old system, but it didnt really change anything.

Old system = wait until your opponent was offlinf attack the ones that you copuld beat, get an ally to take care of the ones you couldnt and walla. no real fun for the lower level players getting their butts kicked repeatedly by the same people. It also led to a lot of hard feeling when people donated real life money to start and expand their gang just to have some one attack it until it got deleted. Some people would do this to any gang that a certain person happened to be apart of causing tempers to flare even further.


New system while not having a personal touch is, overall, an improvement. their are still options that can be explored and changes that can be made that will make it better. For instance the loss of gang points, or upgrades due to not having a certain point level. This would add a reason for a gang to fight back once attacked. They lack that motivation now. Even if you do attack people in a war to try and fight back and give your gang a chance you get angry mails saying how much of a jerk you are and how online attacks are for noobs.

No matter what is done to the war system there will always be those that complain, those that are not satified or those that think they are getting jipped as no matter what is doen there will always be the strong feeding on the weaker. My personal opinion is this. you want to have a PvP war. set one up with a gang and make a deal where the winner of the PvP war gets to attack the others hideout without fear of retaliation to claim the gang points.

The real problem behind all of this is that the community is in general more concerned with being polite to other players Than playing the game the way it was intended to be played. It started that offline attacks were looked down on, that progressed into waiting for them to be offline for 20 minutes or more, The more the community offers in courtesies the more it demands.
