also needs to be 2 days instead of 3

I hate that people bash the large crew holy cow. It should be balanced for both large and small crews alike so neither get an advantage for being large or small. People should be able to choose which crew they want.

The issue isn't the fact that you have a 100 member crew. The issue is that you have so many inactive players. Maybe if you were a little more choosy about who you recruit you'd have more active players than non active.

Don't expect all the other crews to be okay that you want the rules changed because you want the biggest crew on the server. That's so unfair to the rest of us that build solid active crews, to have the rules changed because of one unhappy one.

I've tried to tell you before, Touch, to weed out your inactive players. You know as well, that when your crew and mine was on the same side of the war we pulled it off through great effort and lots of pushing to get team challenges done, so it is possible don't act like it's not.

I have to agree with the ones who are saying that a 30 man crew max is a good policy. Then you work with those members to build a solid knowledgable battling crew. That's what we did, that's what O11 and Byte Me as well as others have done and are doing. And if we can do it why can't you?

There is definitely a flaw in the system, a serious unbalance. But I really hope the Admins don't cater to the FLAW again. The only imbalance is ONE over-sized crew. We all have to work 10x's harder, we all have to cater to this one flaw in the system, this one imbalance. I hope the admins take a look at the crew list and stats and do something about the ONE thing that stands out. Please don't further frustrate the rest of the entire community by ignoring the real issue. How many crews are over 30 members? The issue has nothing to do with inactivity.

@Jeff Funston, you've missed the essence to my point unfortunately. let me make this clear once again. NO ONE WANTS TO BE ON SPINNERS & WINNERS TEAM! 100 person crew that constantly withdraws from battles against any mid ranked crew, let alone not have the guts to battle crews such as OC11, 20/20 (or even us, Byte Me [we had to practically beg you not to withdraw 2 times in a row]) should not be in the war, when they can't even string a battle together unless its against a few noobs in a new crew, which are clueless to what's going on in battles.

ATOC you talk about justice being served, well justice to all will only be served when your "community" as you love to call it, does NOT participate in a war.

In all fairness Jeff, your point is valid that there should be a measure (if already not implemented) to prevent inactive players popping up and being counted in a battle/war.

As i suggested, let's just not go opening Pandora's Box, when the simple solution is for Spinners and Winners not to participate and lets see how the war pan's out. I'm certain that the "entire community" would appreciate that and we can have some happy people around here for those 3 days of the month, rather than a large portion of player lamenting the fact that their crew is going to lose crew points and cp. No one wants to carry Spinner's and Winners with team bonuses, that point has been clearly made in other posts. Let's not waste the Goldfire crew waste valuable time and resources in making all these changes and allow them to develop more exciting features and additions to the game

To Topgunners point, I believe that if a person is not counted toward team challenges due to inactivity, then that person(s) should not be allowed to participate in battle or war at all.

It's 10 days inactive already .If you talking about making it a 5 day inactive that still would not work . A 100 man crew is just absurd ! If 100 man crew/crews stick around they need to be placed in a category of their own.Their own battles/wars . 30 man should be max for any crew . Look at the rest of the crews in scoring in war rank . No way can a 100 man crew ever be balanced with 30 man and less for war ranked crew scores . This here shows you how there is no balance here . It's all lopsided . Just makes no sense . Just because you have a 100 man crew the system automatically has you as a top scoring rank war crew . You score more with more members logging on and may score 1000 k points . That does not make you a high ranked war scoring crew . This is not right at all . 100 man should have never been allowed in the first place .

How about your crew just sits a war out for a change and let the players here have a competitive war for a change.

If you do sit out and its a whitewash with a huge win to one team, i will shut my mouth. Stop making excuses for your teams poor performances and continuously having an adverse impact upon the poor teams stuck on your side.

If James changes the current numbers from 10 days to 1 or 2 days as you suggest, this could create a potential exploit in the war system, where players stay inactive for a couple days once war has been declared, then mystically appear to compete for war and have team bonuses easily then achieved. Lets not open Pandora's Box and try your crew sitting out for 1 war and see what happens....

Thank you James, if you can tweak it to a couple days or in that range i think it will help alot and bring down our requirement for team challenges and make it within reach

This is essentially how it works already. It is looking at the number of active members (the same number used to determine how many can score), not the total number in the crew. This is currently set at 10 days, though we may tweak it in the next update.

I think it is a good solution to a issue that is difinatly taking the fun out of , what i consider to be one of the best features in the game as far as community based fun goes, I have heard several other crews comlain about thier inactive members. I beliv eve its about time to fix the problem. Thank you for your awesome idea TOC. xo

actually when we formed our crew almost 2 years ago scorecards and team challenges did not exsist,

Very well put Bro.The last couple we had.The farther behind we got.Kinda takes the fun out of Battle.Y get my vote 4sure..
