The more I interact with a certain Village leader, the more I think he's a power gamer who cares more about how many pk he can pull than the consequences of his behaviour on the playerbase.

What's really bothering is to loose Manacles since: a) it makes a good difference in PK fights, b) players using this mechanic for PK advantage are criminals 99,9% of the time. This loophole looks like a gift for power gamers and that is the reason I asked why this game mechanic was implemented. Since Ishuli said it was to limit cabal wars for Tribunals, I think there's another simple way (I might be totally wrong here since I know nothing of computer coding) to achieve this purpose: use a Spire immortal leader policy instead and bingo! you cut the grass under the feet of power gamers.


Now if you think power gamers are good for CF playerbase numbers, well... I suppose there's no point in having this conversation.
