Representing the alliances greekdreamteam, -greekdreamteam-, --greekdreamteam--, greekflag and *Veteran's*, I would like to draw your attention to the low morale gameplay within zz13.
The world is plagued by small accounts used for conquests with low morale. Most players are frustrated, as most of the conquests are made with low morale colonies of cities smaller than 4000 points. We understand the use of low morale players to conquer cities is a strategy of certain players and is currently allowed within the gameplay, even though developers are aware of the abuse and have repeatedly stated in devblog that the system was not intended to provide such advantage to any large player. However the creation of accounts for this purpose has become so mainstream within the world zz13, that there seem to be over 20 accounts active for this purpose. Many other accounts used for this purpose are already banned, probably as double accounts. Reporting these accounts to the game administrators and the administration action of banning some accounts for some days or even permanently has been ineffective, as more accounts are created every day for the same purpose.
Considering that morale is a feature which compensates for the disadvantage that a small player faces when being attacked by a larger player, the transfer of the morale to the siege creates a disadvantage for the larger player that cannot defend his own city, against a low morale colony backed by the forces of another strong player. While we appreciate the morale feature and we believe that should be maintained, we recommend to remove the morale during siege. Such modification should be easily applied by the developers and could restore order in the world zz13.
We feel that the current situation does not ensure a fair game play experience for all players, it has already caused many players to quit the server and we are afraid that most of the active players will quit the world within the following weeks, if this issue is not addressed.
