First of all, how is levelling up your GBs abusing the system? Do you know how hard it is to get people to donate to your GBs? Do you know how hard it is to get a GB to Level 100+? This GB point system was created by Inno and was available to ALL players ever since the uncapped the GBs.
Second, GvG has been around for 2 years and people were farming battle points right away. They didn't need Champions to farm points. In addition, once the update was in place, Fighters simply created their own ghost guilds and farmed points that way. So you can take your "cut it in half" time and throw it out the window because people have been doing it for 2 years now and are STILL doing it as we speak by using Ghost guilds.
Third, Farming points by way of collecting coins, supplies, building your city, etc has been promoted and nurtured FOE since this game was created...it's always been a Farmville style game. So to say people are idle and lazy by farming is ridiculous and insulting.
Finally, why should anybody begin a new strategy at this point when Inno/FOE will change the system again in the near future and all your work will be for nothing once again.
Are you seriously trying to say it's hard to get a GB levelled? I could add a few lines to my profile saying that I'm paying X goods for donations to Y GB even now with the new system, and in no time at all I'd be gaining 1 or more levels per day on that GB. But no, there's nothing wrong with levelling a GB and there never has been. The abuse was with the broken formula. You were levelling GBs not for the stronger GB bonuses, but purely for the points...hence why you're even still ignoring the fact that you have these high level GB bonuses to play with and merely whining about how the formula was changed/fixed, posting the same copy/pasted reply all over the forum about how even though it would be completely broken, you should have kept your trillions of points after the rebalance.
You also seem to have a warped view of GvG; perhaps your bitterness about the GB changes is spilling over into other aspects of the game. Folks were not farming when GvG was first released because everyone was pouring into the maps in order to acquire sectors. Unless you consider the points gained from 'normal' GvG play to be farming. you're still wrong on this one, and certainly if you mean it was happening on a widespread level (spoilers: it wasn't).
And one again, you can still farm coin/supply and turn them into points by actually spending them. Again, a shift away from merely collecting resources and towards actually spending them/playing the game. You can argue all you want, but simply resetting productions on buildings and doing nothing but amassing resources just to stare at the number is absolutely the easiest/laziest way to play the game. Why should that boost ranking at all?
P.S. Didn't you say you were going to quit playing after the rebalance? Why are you still here complaining that you lost points? Do you honestly think if you're loud enough that you'll get them back?
