There is a sizeable population of players who play this game casually, and they are the most commonly targeted demographic for farmers because they are more likely to pay CF. Unfortunately, they are also being massively underrepresented in this thread.
Although peace passes may require some tweaking in order to be balanced, they will - if permanently introduced to the game - serve as a monumental development to ensure a healthy and happy player community in the long run. PvP will still be enjoyable, except now all wars could be consensual, and both parties would enjoy themselves. Without peace passes, the fun in farming is almost exclusively one-sided, where the bully farmer may enjoy creating a dramatic and profitable scene, but the target can be handicapped from enjoying the game according to his or her normal and peaceful playstyle.
I'm not saying peace passes don't have problems, but ATA should consider that farmers have the loudest voices right now on this thread. Casual fairies have almost no representation here, and the community of the game as a whole would benefit if PvP became consensual--this would prevent bully farming.
Players who so choose to quickly raise their stats without balancing their account wholly (gaining misc at an appropriate rate with their profile stats) do so under their own risk.
Yes, they are targeted for their folly. Yes, they are more likely to CF because they are paying likely irl money to party (cc club).
Yes, it is their fault.
I don't want to spend money to repeat action all day. That's boring. You choose not to prepare? Farmers will take advantage.
PvE players who choose to build misc will be less likely to be targeted. Why should I be
required to pay to play to keep up with cc fairies?
If you're allowed to sit in a cat club to collect profile stats, I should be able to sit outside and even the playing field.
