First,there was a huge rebalance in war matching, i think it's more than normal if things are slow right now, for everybody. So, before starting crying about a long search, i would give BHG the time to understand the best way to solve the issue, solving other bugs too. Afterall, we have been waiting for months to see the AA ranking fixed, can't you wait a couple of days to understand how the game is going to be from now on?
Second you keep talking about sandbagging. Do you honestly think i care if you sandbag? answer, i don't. my problem was with AA buildings bug, not sandbagging. if sandbagging makees you enlarge the pool that much to allow your team to have a match, so be it, you deserve to war as much as everybody. My problem with sandbagging is with those many teams that don't do that to avoid long searches but do that to have easy wars. I know your team is not among them so, let's cut the sandbagging topic for a while.
What i honestly find absurd is you assuming that the game dies without the top 20 alliances.
So, explain me this: as far as the game was fine for you, we were all a bunch of crying babies, now you have a small problem and game is going to die because of it? You are representing the 1% of the players in this game. Probably those who spend more, but i don't think the game dies if you stop giving them money, afterall we may not spend as much as you do, but we do give the game our money too, and we'll be happy to spend even more if the game is finally fixed.
And last, no i don't like option A). I'd never hope for anybody to quit this game. I want this game to be as fun as it used to be. I just want it to be fun for everybody. For this reason i think i have a long term thinking while you are actually watching things from your interest only. Understandable, but short term thinking.
Ps. I never said "accept you can't war", i said accept the fact that the heavier your team is, the harder will be to find a match. Simply beacuse there are not many teams composed of 200 level+ player. Solutions can be many: Split the team, accept global and industrial age players, teach them to play and make you roaster a little lighter. Sandbag, why not? Just please try to understand that so far "accept you can't war" was the answer you gave to me when i simply asked to fix a bug that was affecting everybody at any range.
Same bug you (i hope ironically) asked not to fix in order for your team to play. My team now looks allowed to play. I'm sorry if i'm happy of this
