NOTE: TO GO ON VACATION, YOU CAN NOT HAVE ATTACKED ANYONE IN THE LAST 1 EARTH DAY, AND CANNOT HAVE BEEN ON VACATION/PPT FOR THE LAST 1 DAY, AND CANNOT HAVE BEEN CAUGHT SABOTAGING IN THE LAST DAY! We apologize for this, but it is a necessary step to ensure the added option of going on vacation does not continue to get abused.
Sorry, but I have to point out Vacation mode is very much being abused..... Certain players are using vac mode along with Alliance ppt's and ppt's from $$ spending to make themselves untouchable.
I would like to suggest only being able to go on vacation once per month, this will minimize the abuse.
Making this game terrible and unfair. Horrible cheap tactics.

Re: Vacation mode(please change)
Its the alliance ppt where the problem is - 2 ppt per week, plus the $$$ ppts, plus vac mode, has always been available....its the alliance ppt which has bridged the gap.
Something has to give....either alliance ppt or a change to vac mode. Personally I'd say the alliance ppt. You may be able to abuse vac mode, but it is a very useful part of the game, and to restrict it too much would be regrettable....
Or make it so that you cannot go on vac mode until 1 day after ppts of any kind, incl. $$$ bought, ascensions, alliance ppt, etc - make it so you have to spend one full day in main before you can vac, as was originally intended.

Re: Vacation mode(please change)
**Keep alliance PPT's as is
**Reduce the $$ PPT's to 1 turn instead of 60min..no matter when you bought it during a turn..it expires at the change.
**Make vac usable 1nce per month, or maybe twice per month and if you do vac you must stay on it for a minimum of 1 week instead of 24hrs.

Re: Vacation mode(please change)
get rid of $$ ppts altogether and level the playing field
ps. i thought any ppt prevented you from going on vac regardless of where it came from.

Yea I did too. Until people started using alliance ppts then jumping right onto vac.
Also you could change the 1 day of no ppts/attacks to 2 days.
And yes the $$ ppts is bad. Should last 5mins at max.

Re: Vacation mode(please change)
lol this is not a new problem, abusing the vacation/PPT in this way has been going on for years, long before alliance PPT, but I guess alliance PPTs make it easier ( and cheaper ) to do. My memory fails me ( to much weed ) so I did a search and found that I myself complained about it in 2008 when LoN pulled this crap on FS, but I vaguely recall others complaining about players doing it over the years. Some claim it's a valid tactic as the game rules allow it, personally I dont approve pf it, but it has been put the admin several times and admin has never done anything to prevent it.
I say get rid of alliance PPTs and get rid of $$ PPTs, fair enough that people need their 4 days of PPT a week to have a RL, but PPTs should not be a war tactic.
I also agree that vacation mode should be limited to 1 per month, if someone has a genuine RL circumstance that requires a 2nd vacation within a month they should have to contact admin.

maybe cause this is supposed to be an online game where people dont have to sit in front of a computer all day to make progress? you are not supposed to put hardwork in a computer game <-- just my opinion though..

Why not? That's like saying you don't put hard work into other games, or even sports.....
Competition is competition. And GW's is very competitive.

i kind of agree but what if your only going away for like say 3-5 days
5 days only means an extra 2 days out the game but for 3 days it's unfair unless he made it so you could ppt for 4 days using the 2 as an accumulator

Hard work is a metaphor be serious..still there are objectives obtained through the completion of tasks so I ask again, why bring laziness up and hard workers down? its stupid

Re: Vacation mode(please change)
i think a month is too long a time to wait to go on vac if an emergency arrises after you've already been on vac (i know that its probably rare, but i think that it could/would/does happen)
a week or two makes sure that its not just the 1 day but ensures that the PPT + vac isnt abused
and i do think that alliance PPT should count as a PPT for vacs at least
