as for 'crews' i find more the merrier! although when your crew is as good a badpenny there you dont get a look in at top spot!

I think i was not clear on my point. yes, the more players on a ladder the funner it can be.  If the point is to get more players playing the ladder then stacking a ladder with 1 crew does not encourage players from other crews to join. It is just a means to abuse the ladder as it was used in the arena.  Or am I to understand the point is not to get more players to play the ladder but to just have PvP players on it?

 

I can only speak for myself but i enjoyed ladders with players from multiple crews... joining and fighting just one is not the same ...

Removing the opt-in would make the ladder alot more active. Then people wouldn't complain about getting bountied and such.

I dont play the ladder that much... did not know they (inactives) stayed on the list, I thought they dropped off. Good to know information, thanks

they do eventually but for a period of time they just sit there *shrugs* there was one on my ladder last round showing as 1000 points..i couldnt take pvp ponts from him even tho i took xp..

 

now today he seems to have dropped off it

The period is 7 days.

Just to clear things up Justinian,  you don't *drop* off the ladder, you have to opt out...  And with inactives that once opted in, it serves to make a dead ladder for some...

 

The ladder system has been broken since its fruition, and needs to go back to the way it was originally, with PvP points being traded for each battle... As things stand now, I have my dominance medal now, and won't play the ladder again till it is fixed and works in a more logical way... Better rewards may help, too.

Penny, I'm sorry. But after 7 days of not logging in a player does drop out of being on the ladder. It's to the hour and minute I believe. The 7 day inactive player disappears from the ladder entirely, no tokens, nothing for that Ladder round. It's like a fail safe - after7 day - PvP Protection for free.

You hit that player after they were inactive more then 7 days. Last Activity: 8 days, 1 hours, 34 mins, 42 secs. When you do it only takes xp. Looks like I was wrong about the inactive more then 7 days automatically being opted out like if they used PvP protection, but they still aren't targets for PvP points any longer. I wonder if they can bounty you? hmmm

Do 7 day in actives gain tokens??.. I still gained tokens while suspended lol these no swing tokens need to end.. Its gone on for far too long

I agree with many of those posted that bounty board and pvp needs to be fixed. I really missed the way it was when all were a target it made the game active.  Though we have the opt out rule now and those that do not want to pvp that is way to go.  Those that like to play should have some options one is to have bounty board functioning better. I know I have seen days with nobody on there.  Not all players do pvp on bounty board.  The question is how to move forward for a better game.  

 

I agree having many groups active in pvp and bb helps.  No risk is gvg and arena playing. I do agree xp and points setup should be used.  Pvp should not be gold stealing that is different option all together.  In my opinion and the way I survived playing fs was losing my xp.  I have lost many levels on the bb in my lower levels.  Those that know me I used to be a frequent flyer on bb lol.  I think if you take risk of hitting you should get the risk of losing or be rewarded in pvp.   I am not sure if there are players that remember of more than 5 levels lost on bb way back when.  I can say it was a fight to maintain xp and your pvp status.   Oh yeah before medals too giggles.
