i tend to agree that attitudes need to change a bit,it is ok to lose a city now and then or get 0`d.It is not a personal affront to your superiority.you just pick up the pieces and start again in 2 weeks all is back to normal.

It is a very recent trend to get busy in RL when things get uncomfortable.
Same as quitting if your precious account gets 0`d.Its ridiculous.

it was the ebb and flow ,good and bad that makes the game exciting not the constant avoidance of ever getting hit/and protect at all costs attitude that is sweeping the servers.
at one time castles regularily changed hands,nowadays it is very uncommon to see a legit takedown.(Because of account sharing/speech texts and defence bots)
the only castles you see change hands are given away.
