Suggestions for the next Event:

I really like the concept of the new Events, but safeguards need to be implemented to thwart crafty humans from gaming the system.

1. The most obvious - A daily cap on Troop Donations. The cap should be a reasonable number that a very active player could donate to his or her mates in a 24 hour period.

2. Weigh Stars earned in battle more heavily. Again though, there should be a daily cap. How many Multi- Player and/or WW battles could a very active player achieve in a 24 hour period?

3. Weigh Quick Victory Stars more heavily than other battle Stars.

4. Increase XP earned from completing Goals.

5. Special timed goals that pop up randomly during the event. These could have short time periods that must be completed within minutes.

6. XP earned from donating Troop Cards to your mates Strongholds during World War Planning Day, with a reasonable cap.

Thank you for in advance for considering!

Stars earned would be wonderful. My alliance isn’t particularly active during the times I’m on, so I can’t donate as much as others. On the other hand, I can pound out almost endless five-star victories, since my army takes almost zero time to retrain. Pretty much all of your points are pretty solid.

All great except last point. Do you realize that cheaters can clone troop cards? Additionally that would favor players that spend tons of money. First 5 points great, last one is disastrous.

Perhaps some more skill based tasks other than ones that just involve grinding - no one likes grinding, it's not fun, doesn't increase their income (I don't think at least), etc

Not sure what that would involve but maybe:
  • Obtain 20 victories in a row
  • Destroy a MP opponent of your same level in under 2:30 minutes?
  • Destroy an opponent of your same level using only barracks troops (not sure what sort of checks are built into the system)
  • Destroy an opponent using only air power or commandos, etc
  • Obtain 20 QV without using any war tactics
Other ideas?

Those 3 are the most important and reasonable. And NO LIMITS. Grinding should be endless.

I want more pay to win and over powered prizes for those who do.

Actually OP's suggestion would bring ties at the leaderboards. The only solution would be to remove leaderboard and let the players compete against pre-defined EXP ranks instead of compete against each other. Current scheme is just pure madness, where a few first players compete, and the remaining 99,9% player base just give up.

Winning the Leaderboard should be based on skill, not grinding. As some have suggested, it would be nice to have more skill related goals. In this current Event, my guess is those who win are those with multiple accounts or those with an Alliance that spends all of WW Planning Day donating/dumping War Base troops. Grinding and gaming the system should not determine the winner.

I'm not so sure about the skill thing... I've been attacked by cheaters who can drop their troops in the middle of buildings where is no empty slot. Some have had unlimited planes. Some have gained "5 star victories" with just a couple of foot soldiers of my base which is getting close to lvl 290. Wouldn't the cheaters still win over us, who play it honestly?

Well, skill is better than grinding...more fun too. I agree though, cheating is a problem that needs to be addressed. I still see folks using the unlimited resources hack to upgrade all their buildings at once. Why doesn’t Nexon plug this issue?

Let's have an event that has a theme relevant to the Greek War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire! The Greeks are one of the 8 playable nations of our game after all!
