I am just going to copy and paste what I wrote in a message sent to the mods. I would add that if there are going to be city shields available from friends taverns that anyone who employs one should not be able to attack while the shield is up...this is a "war" game after all.
Hello,
I've been playing for a long time now. I actively play in D world and W. Over the years I've spent some money playing (usually to buy diamonds for expansions) and have enjoyed the game and the friends I've made here very much.
Today I came across what I can only describe imo as a horrible decision by the creators, mods, designers, or whoever decided to put this particular feature into the game. the "City Shield" from the friends tavern.
On Walstrand I am in a neighborhood with someone who is "top dog" at 217k points and I'm in the middle of the pack with 33k. He attacks me daily and plunders when he can catch me before I collect. I have no problem with that as I attack back and plunder when I can, but today I come across a message stating he cannot be attacked for 2 days because his city is protected by a shield. I'm not a bit sorry to say that I believe this is a step backwards for FOE.
Look at it like this... You are enabling the kid who throws a rock at your head while you ride your bike down the street then runs home and hides in mommy and daddy's house for days so he doesn't get his butt kicked.
I have taken breaks before for personal reasons but never before since I began playing have I considered quitting FOE altogether,
I would ask you to please reconsider this feature. I have talked with a number of my guildmates on Walstrand and they feel about the same as me. I haven't come across it in D yet but will be asking my guild and my friends if they have encountered it.
Thank you for taking the time to hear my complaint.
