My first impression after this new ranking system is that makes the game much less attractive
I also think that a spirit of a game is to reward the player activity and/or completing game challenges but after the change this is not happening.
I dont mean just of removal of rank points by collecting coins and supplies but other activity or player actions
I've just finished the Pope event, I completed the 11 quests or tasks in a row and I scored 0 rank points
..so, if donating goods to the treasury, leveling up your GBs and fighting are just basically the true game activities now, so they're rewarded with rank points ...does it mean that scouting a province, infiltrating a sector, completing a quest, getting medals, winning a PvP tower, finishing a questline and so on, which all of them are tasks, activities and challenges that gives 0 points themselves and even more difficult to do, are not classified as a player activity?
If all this stuff do not mean activity, just get rid of them, rename the game "Forge of Great Buildings" or "Forge of Guild versus Guild Farming" and remove the term "Empires" bcos is out of place or is just gone, isnt it?
