Crew Ranking
Crews are losing GOOD members due to this new system. The game is going to be losing even more members due to this. One of the main reasons people stay in a game that has many community issues and game glitches, is because of their friendships and their crews. This new system takes away so much from that.
These days, if a member of a crew has personal things going on in their lives and can't make it online much for a few days, the whole crew suffers. That person now gets to feel guilty for letting their crew down on top of whatever else they have going on in their lives. Or they get kicked out! Its not right at all. People are leaving left and right, crews are breaking up and more people feel like going crew-less is the way to be right now, or else start a whole new batch of tiny 3-5 man crews. That is defeating the purpose of having crews to begin with.
But what makes it worse is that the battle scoring is the exact OPPOSITE of the crew ranking scores. Spinners & Winners can't win a battle to save their lives, yet are about to take over #2 then #1 shortly after that? It makes NO sense. If members SLEEP, the crew loses points. If a members has to go to work, their crew suffers. Makes NO sense. If a member works their tail off in battle, then goes offline for a bit, their score diminishes. Makes NO sense. A crew with a ton of members can lose every battle, yet FLY to the top of the ranks. Makes NO sense.
All I am asking for is a FAIR system. That's it. Please stop focusing so much about what brings in more gold and listen to the people who play the game the most, who would gladly spend even more on gold, if there was a fair system in play.
Crews are awesome things to have. The connections we make because of our crews is awesome. This current system is tearing it all down!
I have yet to see an issue with going back to XP-Only battles. I have given up my hopes of bombs being taken out of battles, but i would still like to see them have less impact. That aside, XP battles were the last time battles were even semi-fair. I can live with the bomb limitations that are in place now. I love having no outside bombs help in battle (even though I hate not being able to help out friends). I love that they can't be dropped prior to the start of battle or in the last hour. Fine. So be it. But please bring back XP battles. This scoring is killing the vibe for most people who love their crews... and who also like to get some rest at night without knowing they are actually PULLING their crew DOWN each time they do so.

An all-new crew battles/war system will be released in the next update to the game.

Kmurs, I can promise you that I have never said nor have I heard anyone say that buying gold makes someone a good battler. I do not buy gold, havent in a lot of months. I'm a damn good battler. The issue isnt about people buying gold. By all means.. Buy away! The issue is with battles being won because of bombs. Lots of people spend lots of money to have lots of bombs for battles. If that isnt changed, which I'm sure it won't be, then another way to get ahead would be nice. More missions. Less wait time on Missions since bombs can be purchased every 10 mins, yet we have to wait 3 hrs or more for most all missions. Lots of things that are being addressed right now... Not one of them is a "buying gold" issue. So please dont confuse this post or the issues at hand in your mission to discredit this post. Crew Ranking should be based on merit, crew xp, battles won.. This post has nothing to do with gold.

James bring the fun back to the c\game.....my worries is you going to keep on adjusting battles and wars for the wallet crews, and to hell with us who dont have the big bucks.......you should really take the time to randomly talk to players and quit trying to make this game playable and fun to those who can afford to buy thier awards and experience.....you keep saying it takes time.....no james it doesnt....it takes your commitment to the community whic you have lost and placed it in the hand of the gold buyers.......i know ever time i call you out im closer to being banned....im not a trouble mnaker.....i am part of a whole large family YOU CREATED....AND NOW ITS TIME TO SHOW US ALL SOME LOVE.....not just the gold buyers..... dissapointed with you James

Thanks, Sypress an Rick, need to put the fun back into the battle/war, to where everyone enjoys an loves to battle each other, rather than having most crews not wanting to even play the battle/war....

I Remember when wars and battles were fun and if you won or lost it was still fun. There are many players that feel the same way.

Good suggestion! So, the crews only gain xps for their crew rank based on what they do in battles and wars... gameplay the rest of the time doesnt effect your crew, so no one feels like they are letting their crews down by having a life, or illness. Awesome, idea, Crispy!

Well the 3 day war just ended and the 1st place teams on each side had 3 and 4 players respectively. Now that sums it up just fine. Meanwhile the 100person crew managed to beat 4 other crews/

moneytalks whoever you are, now you are just making stuff up for drama and your own gain, of what i have no idea. I was in the last war, and there was no screaming of any kind going on. It is obvious that you are jealous or just envious of this person, which you should be, she is a much better person than you could ever hope to be.

Yet again it seems that some think this is a personal post about one player or that this is some type of chat room. I f you don't have your facts straight..... well it just looks petty. I was in war chat last war and there was in fact no screaming done by any play. This post is about crew ranking and scoring, If you don't like it you should try making your own post anyone can do it. As far as personal attacks on players..... wow really.My name is Rickso as it is on the game.

I've been thinking about this for a while..and where I can support most of Willy's suggestions, I do not support the idea of a minimum 10 man crew...that would eliminate my crew from battles/wars and that would be totally unfair since we put in as much effort in battles and wars as any other crew, why should we be condemned for being a small crew? I have seen the suggestion, if a crew member can't be present for the battle, they should be able to opt out so their score is not counted, I think that would be fair. The average score for a crew is a determination of a crew's score as a whole, so would it really be fair to say that only the top scorers should count? Battles/Wars are a team effort. Before the change in the scoring system, one or two people in a crew, no matter what size the crew was could put up enough points to win the battle...no matter how they change the system, battle wins can still be bought if the crew is willing to spend enough cp to do it...it's not about effort or teamwork, it's about who buys the most bombs...as long as bombs have an unlimited impact on battles/wars, they will never be fair...they will always just be a show of who has the most cp or the highest credit card limit...so, there's my two-cents...good luck with making battles/wars fun :)

I give most of my free time to this game, and I'm not insulted at all by this. Yes the battle system was changed because the system was unfair, and in many peoples opinion is still unfair. We need a system that does not penalize the casual player, while at the same time will reward the dedicated ones. I hate that crews are breaking up, and sectioning off because they KNOW that very small crews have a HUGE advantage over larger crews now. I don't know if there will ever be a perfectly balanced battle/war system but surely there can be one that meets somewhere in the middle of the road. And being in a crew is as much a part of this game as opening casino's right and left. I love my crew, would not change a single one of them. I hate it when they come apologizing to me because they can't play hours a day like I can. They feel bad, it makes me feel bad. Willy had good suggestions as well as many of the others here. I hope James takes their suggestions into consideration.

This is an insult to those of us that give all our free time to this game. There are members with sick children and health issues of their own and I see them all the time. Not just log on find a pig and then go watch Justin Beiber on tv. If you can't battle just play the game and have fun. You shouldn't have to join a crew to make friends. That's a different issue all together. And if you want to climb the game ladder join the top players that put 15 to 18 hrs a day on this site. The system we changed from was unfair and changed because of public outcry. There's no going back in my mind so I say adapt or step aside it's a new day a dawning!!

Well here is my thoughts. I have been here almost a year, and i am 100% loyal to this game, it has everthing i want and need to have fun. I am part of of one of the most awesome crews here, we play and socialize like we are family, some of us have more time to dedicate to battles than other members, and even more important some of us does not like the battle aspect of the game reguardless of the scoring system, they just want to be part of our family and have fun. now they feel thier presence in the crew is hurting us, and like any family member thet sacrifice thier fun and love for each other and choose to leave, thats so sad. i want to make a couple suggestions, number 1, lets go back to the original xp system, it wasnt broken. what broke these battles and wars was the xp gained frome the bars, you took that away and it solved that problem, then you added the bomb, awesome even worse than the bar.....BUT now you choose to leave the bomb because its making you rich, you cannot deny that james....so you choose to leave the bomb for your greed and to change the scoreing system and destroy friendships and breakup familys (crews),,so here is the fix, xp battles and war...max 10 bombs per member can be dropped during battle and war, because they are fun and we all do love them...a crew has to have minimum 10 players to qualify for battel and war....and add a box that can be clicked to desingect if you choose to be a battle crew or a non battle crew...will you lose money on bombs james, no, because now we can affored to still buy bombs for the items we need to decorate our casinos. so its a win win situation for you....james i accused you once for not caring about this game, and you told me that was the worst thing i could ever say to you because of all the long hours you put in to make it fun....well i am issuing you a personal challenge to come on here and address us as a community to let us know that you do care and that you are reading our comments, and explain why its not being corrected.....you dont owe me anything james but you do owe this community everthing......
