Maybe dont pact everyone out and play the game the way it was designed... on conflict
This fluff again? Whether it's L:L retals, land trading, or EWPP, the reaction is the same - fluff and complain. Sit there and expect someone else to do something about it. Reminisce about "the good ol' days". I may be recalling incorrectly but in "the good ol' days" people didn't just fluff and complain and wait for someone else to do something. They fought and killed. Take a page out of your own book - build up an alliance and fight for change.

A lot of factors have helped kill this game over the last few years, but organized landtrading was one of the biggest imo.
Really? Land trading is what killed the game the most? It had nothing to do with a severely outdated game or a toxic political environment that resulted in grudge wars or the practice of farming the fluff out of new alliances? If Land trading killed the game, why didn't anyone actively fight it? SoF made some hokey policy a couple years ago meant to punish land trading but no one enforced it.
It astounds me that people will complain about the lack of punishment kill runs, wars, and lack of competition but refuse to compete for change.
