"Oh, I agree. Out of the 2 choices, the blood and guts would be preferential. But whether it's strictly blood and guts or sanitized, there would be complaints from both sides. Lower level gangs complaining about the cost of losing blood and guts type wars or higher level players complaining that wars are too soft and there is no real point in them. I think trying to find a middle ground that both sides could be happy with would be the best option. One where there is a safety net so to speak to appease the pacifists who don't like warring and where there is also a substantial gain for warring for the ones who like wars.

Unfortunately, trying to find said middle ground to make everyone happy probably is gonna be very difficult"


Yeah that's where we differ I guess. (sorry. i said i was gonna stop posting but i'm an idiot who can't help it. my apologies)

The stronger players have put in much time and much money. I am speaking for myself when I say I become resentful when that which I worked hard and paid hard for is diminished.

I mean, don't take what I've earned and give it to those who haven't, in an attempt to level the playing field.

If a level playing field is what is necessary though, make it truly level. I would resent and do resent things i've paid for and worked hard for being diminished. Fair's fair. If my stuff is going to be taken away for no better reason than I play long hours and donate, please take everybody's away and make level truly level.

I wouldn't feel resentful if donations simply provided convenience rather than advantage though. Because everyone will actually get what they pay for and it can't be diminished or taken away.
