You want progress in the game. I am not against that, in fact I am all for it.
But your MAIN gripe seems to be just a classic case of tall poppy syndrome. We work within the strict restrictions imposed on us. If people in norm with their limitless resources cannot maintain rank above us how is that our problem? With our limited army size and limited farming it says something about the game in general, not about perg.
If you want us to have competition, how about setting up an alliance of your own? There are plenty (more than we could handle) of experienced players in perg with decent accounts that you could recruit.
You complain it is too hard for new players to gain glory. There are around 150 people in GnR range currently in perg, a little over 10% and out of that probably 20 (at the most) are not looking to ascend anytime soon. So I ask you this, how many players are there in norm, with their limitless resources, are doing the same thing? While yes, individually they may not be in the top 2% all the time, but as a whole they are taking up a positions that you so desperately want for the newer players.
The biggest problem is that the small players often fall prey to the big for simple fact they are new. They put all their resources into their army trying to get GnR only to get massed because someone simply didnt like them building stats with nothing else. Or another classic reason they farmed someone who had been massed and still didnt have a defence. How lame is that.
We are not going around mindlessly bashing small accounts simply because we can as what constantly happening in norm. We are not harassing people because we can. About all we do is farm an fight others who have imposed themselves upon us. We leave others be generally to grow and ascend as they see fit. Heck, in the last little battle we had, we left out the members of the alliance who were ascending and wanted no part in it
This is a suggestions topic so how about some suggestions instead of this constant whinging.
How about you cant attack someone who is 1/5 your size?
How about no glory for perg?
How about setting up a seperate ranking system for perg?
How about a turn limit on attacking new players in their first 3-6 months?
How about giving new players more untradable resources to get them going?
How about a mentoring system?
How about an automatic ingame PM for new players with a link to the FAQ section of the forums?
How about something to fix the game in general rather than the perceived problem with perg?
How about suggesting something constructive to help new players (if thats what you are really worried about) rather than just complaining about perg?
P.S. How many officers do you have at the moment that you are trying to help?
Well I was in perg and you guys started setting me to war, anyone could see I was active and that I was unascended, it would of been obvious that I was in the process of ascending (well in fact I was trying to get 1k g and r points for market supporter status if truth be it).
Woke one morning and I was massed, what you said does not sound like you were doing me a favor.
How would you suppose someone gets to G and R range in a relatively timely manner without, what is in your alliances eyes not requiring a massing.
I spoke to someone whom you dont like earlier today, said that one of the reasons your alliance took to becoming so strong was because you didnt like the way perg was to allow them to reach a high rank.
Humbug, my favorit saying comes into play here "You have become what you despised so much" (if what I have been told is true(disclaimer there lol))
Why dont you just leave people be, farm, fair enough but with only 60 attacks allowed by one person on another when your aliance has the ability to give 28x60 there is no way anyone can take it to you as you can oblitorate anyone in one day
Fact is you do what you do because you can.
No one will be able to build up against your alliance of 28 and be strong enough to take you on, so that wont happen.
The best anyone can do is dont have any def so they dont have any attack units to kill and in the end they will either have to build up a def and kill each other to lower their army size or fall into main, which is what happend to me, found a raid target and raided to many LOL and fell out of existance.
