I don't know if this is the right place to put this, but I dont know where else it would go and couldn't find a post similar to it anywhere else. but I think these new raid "rules", a term that I'm going to use very, very lightly in this post, is complete crap.
I own the faction of IronGale, which is supposed to be a mostly RP faction, so of course being RP faction means we get raided every 3 seconds. before these new Rules, if a faction wanted to raid us more than once a week, they at least had to take time to come up with some BS reason on the forums like "we need the resources for blah blah potatoes" and then take several days to push through as a declared war. But now with no real rules, small factions are just constant at the end of the woopin' stick for HOURS and HOURS a day. specifically IronGale, which in an attempt to escape constant raids has burned through 3 empires in a week. Because this one doesnt like this one, and this one doesnt do this, and this one is this and this. right now we are a part of the Qualiphate, which has resulted in BlackMerc's faction alliance raiding us AT LEAST once a day. not to mention Vanos and the several other factions that drop by every third day.
Unless youre part of a HUGE faction full of PVPers, youre kind of screwed by these new rules. Raiding is an integral part of Massive, but this constant raiding "rule" really hurts any non-raiding faction. And all that aside, the balance of fac on fac PVP is completely off set because PVPers are usually drawn to raiding factions and any noob you get to join your faction, if they actually log on again after there first 3 hours in game, are completely horrified to stay in a faction in a constant state of "war" from all angles. And getting money to truce 5-7 factions that raid you just for lols sake every month, what would even be the point of playing, you would have to spend your entire career finding GotHelp AFK and stealstriking him to pay off that.
and lets not even get started on Chorus TPs that got raiders into my castle which is otherwise safe. And there again, If I have no safe spot in my faction, how am i going to convince anyone to stay long enough to train and get good enough to defend us? Small factions and non-PvP inclined factions are fighting a loosing battle every day on massive... and its not fair
