This part I don't really understand. What difference would it make how many points one gets before the towers are retired? We still get battle points for every battle, even when towers are closed and in instances where one is fighting in an age whose tower they haven't unlocked yet. Battle points aren't going away at all. Just the towers are. I see your later question about wondering what the 'point' of attacking neighbors is without the towers, but you already listed the two reasons: plundering and ranking points. I dunno about you, but insomuch as ranking matters in FoE, I care more about my overall server ranking than I do about any tower ranking, and nothing is being changed about that...Three weeks ago, I had stopped using the feature. Three weeks ago, I also had told those on my home world to "get as many points as you can as PVP will be dead when they introduce the arena".
...then again, maybe if a ton of players actually quit fighting when the towers are removed, it'll be easier for me to move up in the ranks! I just don't see why the towers even are a motivator for fighting at all.
