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.

I am extremely frustrated with the whole battle/war situation...DO SOMETHING!! Considering leaving game myself...just not much fun anymore. I really love this game/site and don't want to go try and find another that at least is not alot of hard work with nothing to show for it. Thats what is happening here now, you really work hard and get no pay off.

Pay to win isnt even working! We are a crew of 17 battling a crew of 8. we have a total score of 70000, they have a total score of 37k. We are blowing up bombs continuously in between missions and we are still losing by 3k right now! this scoring system is awful! I refuse to buy anymore gold if this is how it will be, what is the point?

I would just like to know that the admins poke their heads out every now and then to see how upset and unhappy the crews are. This has been "under review" while comments and votes are stacking up and people are getting more and more fed up, i know of 3 people who have quit the game, more who are talking about leaving the game, even more who are done with spending money on this game and even MORE who are leaving or getting kicked from their crews.... But there is nothing but silence from the Admins... Nothing but updates that do not apply to the issues. Nothing at all to put us at ease. Meanwhile people are at each others throats and friendships are being destroyed because people invest REAL money, REAL time in this and develop REAL relationships. It may be a game... but there are REAL people trying to have FUN and being blocked off and frustrated. We just want to have FUN and have some kind of FAIR scoring. Pay-2-win is not what ANY of us signed up for.

Adding in my 2 cents worth:
Maybe we need another check box in settings. "Play in Battles". If checked before a battle is set, then that player is part of the battle team and their score is added to the team average score (for better or worse). This box cannot be toggled during the time a battle is set, until battle is over.
This will allow players to be part of a crew for the social aspects, without the damning accusations that occur when their score is low during a battle because they had real life intervene .

I buy alot of gold every month until this point system is fixed to where it about matches your xps like it did i will no longer buy any gold. This point system for battles is not even close to being fare
Thanks

I was in Tigers and Cougars and left because of the senseless battles. I just want to build and spin and not have to worry about affecting crew score by not playing 24 straight hours. I always was 2nd highest scorer in the crew battles but part time players pulled the average down too much. Top 5 scorers against top 5 scorers would seem fairest to me.

Another suggestion towards this issue... Smaller crews should no longer be able to challenge larger crews. The advantage for the smaller crews over the larger ones is too great now. Very unbalanced. Good crews (not only referring to mine) are breaking apart. Or they are considering it. These battles are not fun. (and this has nothing to do with our loss against Ocean's crew. They won and they earned it.) Worrying about the people who have other things going on in their lives and how to get cps for bombs is all there is to these battles now. Listen to us, please! There are over 100 votes here.

No, Charles, it is clear that you are attacking someone. What childish behavior. Hope you are proud of yourself for trying to derail a serious issue with your not very veiled dislike of another player. And speaking of anonymity just who are you again? I can't remember seeing you in any of the wars/battles or in global. Just sayin'. This is an issue that many of us feel strongly about. We want a balanced war system that gives everyone equal opportunity to be a part of without feeling they are letting down their crew. Nothing wrong with that. James won't know we are not happy with it if we do not speak up. Signed un-anonymously- Krystaria

We are not on here to discuss who wrote what Charles... we are here to establish what and if there can be some changes made. I am sure that when they first thought of this idea seemed like a good one and as with any idea some turn out good some not so good. Nothing wrong in making a wrong decision... that's why we have feedback to DISCUSS and share our thoughts on what we think is working and not working and James as you can tell that even in feedback it is causing people to argue and point fingers. Please James do something about this before it has everyone at each others throats. I say back to old school .

Hmmm ... I believe this post was generated to discuss gaming issues not as a vessel for small minded people to vent their dislike of other players. Let's keep to the matter at hand. If you wish to publicly attack someone why not start your own forum post and ask people to vote on whether they think you're a complete prat. You've got my 3 votes on that one!

Please do not turn this post into something it is not intended to be. I could take offense to the fact that you basically called anyone who has supported thispost and voted for it a sheep, but yet again this is not a personal post about veiws of another player.
Thank you -

I rest my case.

To be clear, I have never denied using bombs, since it's clearly the only way to win now. Nothing in you comment made any sense in reference to anything in my post. I didnt ask for bombs to be taken out, i said "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." Please do not use my post as a way to brown-nose and make your dislike of me public. There is nothing constructive about your comment. If you are happy with the current system, dont vote on this post. It's simple.

I sent you a email regarding taking bombs out of battles/wars.... I thought about it and after talking to more people about it, there are some that do want them in the battles/war. So I was thinking how it could be to where maybe everyone was happy.... How about we still have bombs but we compromise, like maybe bombs could only work the first half of the battle/war...for example..but the scoring go back to how it was when battles first started. Old school . Thats when they were actually fun and we all had to get xp by doing the missions, chip races,etc. Dont get me wrong, I do love bombs and will continue to do them myself, just dont want that to be how we win a battle/war. We want to be able to do bombs cause we WANT to, not cause we HAVE to to win. Casino.rpg is a awesome game and you have done a excellent job.. Thank you for all your hard work, I dont want to take any of that away just sayin.

James,
Please do not take these comments as a personal attack at you or the game. It is just that we all worked so hard to get our crews to the positions they were in, and to see our position that we all worked so hard for suddenly mean nothing is upsetting. As you can tell there are many players who feel strongly about this issue including me. -

Average scoring doesn't make any sense , some player join crew to be with friend and chat, so in battle they bring down the crew score , some peep work ,some peep are sick that battle .
