Crew Battles!
It's very frustrating that crews have a "battle protection" option, yet STILL also have the option to pull out of a battle at the very last minute.
My suggestion is simple. Take away the "withdraw" option, making the "battle protection" option more useful and no longer wasting the time and efforts of other crews. It's unfair that people rearrange schedules for battles, then come on to find no battle after all.
It's bad enough there are barely any crew options on the battle page as it is. But thats another "feedback" post for another time from someone else :P (I still like Deeds' idea for that)

Updates to battles, protection and withdrawing are going to be included in v1.0.14. Thanks!

I agree that crews are meant to battle it adds to the fun of the game, I also think that a crew should only be able to buy one day of protection every three days and also should not be able to cancel the battle after it has already been scheduled that's just silly.

The battle is definitely damaged, which crews and battle could be such a large part of the site and add such high drawing power. This option along with Deeds idea is good step in the right direction.

I also agree, this is very frustrating.... We spend the just about the whole day before a battle, preparing for battle the next day, people changing around their schedules to be there for nothing...thats not right. I think something needs to be done and soon.

I agree, I am fairly new to this so I am not sure what I am supposed to say.

needs to be done before everyone falls asleep, crew is meant for battling should not be so many anti battle options, otherwise why join a crew to sit there and look pretty =). we want to do crew-ness stuff not sit there and be clue-less. =)

oo, or maybe an xp boost to the team with less plays determined by what type of battle and how many less players.
*add to end of my last comment ;-)

I agree that is's odd to have battle protection and a withdrawal option. The battle option is already set up to only offer you (what should be if players are still active) a fair fight, so it should be fine to have it as protect or be prepared to battle! Other games I have played do not give you the luxury of just dismissing a fight "battle" for a 10%? fee when it is not convenient to play, thats the point of buying protection.
BUT if the option of withdrawing is going to stay I think a time limit of 1-3 hours after the challenge in issued or somthing, so the other team do not overly plan their days around it justs for it not to happen.
Also talking battles, somthing I noticed in another battle, though you set it to only allow you to challenge crews with up to 5 members less then you it does not stop you adding members once the challenge has been issued, I feel it would be a good idea to make it that crews can not recruit members while in a pending battle (or if its possible not allowing them to recruit passed the 5 more then the other team, but I think that would be more difficult) or even having it that no member added after the battle is up for voting will count in the battle.

I agree ! Easy to spend CP for protection only when one crew Battle you!
With CP Price so expensive now, u don t want be battle, pay your protection Before u re battle by someone!
The worst is our Crew planning all day for Battle and other Crew took protect 1 hour before battle Start! we Loose 23 Hours to wait for nothing!
I don t think it s hard to implemente the way we like to see, if u want a protect u need her before being challenged!. -
