Automatic relocation after Fort kill to edge of world
I've started the game on the Tib 39 server so I am pretty new in this game, but I do like the game.
There is one major thing that bothers me though.
The strongest players get to kill the fort first and that's fine. Problem however is that they have no other objectives left and the less honorable players from the winning alliance start to bash much lower ranked players. With this, they heavily interfere with the gameplay of the other players. Some payers quit or stop playing that server, some players move to alliances that are more favorable to the winning alliance. They steal POI's they don't need and leave them unused. Killing everyone who dares to take it back.
I like the element of PvP and wars are good to be part of the game. But in the normal situation, war comes with a price. You can't progress as much as you can without war. The players that already killed the fort don't have a reason anymore to progress and therefor, they don't have to pay the price for war.
As I said in the beginning, I am new to this game so maybe there are better solutions, but what I can think of is:
- Automatic relocation to the edge of the world after a Fort kill with only slow possibility to get back to the center (even when breaking down buildings etc or relocating again).
- Move the alliance that killed the fort to a restricted area where you can only go after the fort kill where you might introduce a 2nd quest.
- Disable the accounts (or disable PvP somewhat) of those who completed killing of the fort as they obtained their badge already anyway.
In most games I've played, bashing is not allowed or not even possible. Maybe you even find it desirable (I hope not though :P)
Kind regards and curious about your response,

I understand by now that there has been a lot of discussion about this already in the past and that EA chose to let this game be more of a Mad Max world where only power is relevant as long as you don’t (get caught) cheating. So I guess it is any further discussion is obsolete.
Improvise. Adapt. Overcome ^^
All of them 'punish' the winning alliance. What is needed is not punishment but a reason to move to another world and not stay.
The only suggestions I've ever seen that doesn't look like punishment are the ones that encourage different behaviour to the behaviour that others dislike.
Some include:
Restricting the number of times a player can shoot at the fortress - maybe 2 or 3 times allowed.
Removing a 1st, 2nd or 3rd place badge if a player shoots a fortress at a later date and giving them the badge for that position. Players would not wish to lose a higher level badge.
Transferring (but not compulsorily) them to another world where the starting levels and maximum levels etc are much higher and the fortress more difficult by having a much, much higher upper limit.
Decreasing the gain from POI's after the 3rd kill for those with a badge. (Although this does seem to be a delayed punishment). Alternatively, boosting the gain for those without a badge.
We destroy the fortress two or three times before wing is ready to attack. For me this is a punishment.
If we help our wing and we lose our first badge is a new punishment. What do we need allies for then? To help us and then abandon them?
- the only thing you'd be 'punished' for is being in the same alliance as the previous 'ally'.
Whatever is done, it will always be seen as punishment by some groups as style of play is different.
We threw the fortress in third place, then destroyed the fortress several times as our wing grew.
Some of us (the greatest) went to our friendly alliances (not only wings) to help them in the attack on the fortress and thus reward their help so that we could obtain the third position medal.
If these few who went to help lose the previous medal and give us a fourth (fifth, sixth…) position medal, it is promoting that the wing not be helped. Or in other words, it is being promoted that there are no wings or allies because afterwards you will not be able to return the favor without leaving us harmed.
Added: I see it as if you were saying "You help me destroy the fortress but then I won't help you when your turn comes"
An alliance that is strong enough and organised enough to win the 1st place badge is strong enough and organised enough to control the order of who hits the fortress. If you're not in a 1st, 2nd or 3rd alliance then you either play for fun or grow big enough over time. You don't deserve a badge until you can beat the 1st, 2nd or 3rd place alliance to control the centre.
