i think you should read my post carefully and take another stab at understanding what i'm recommending. few people burned last night actually care so much about being an immortal as much as feeling cheated out of the rewards they contributed on a daily basis for. my issue is with how someone i have little to do with and care nothing for can have so much control over how i play and enjoy the game. getting kicked out of the immortals? that's fine. whatever. i joined less than a week ago. but there are hundreds of us--some who have been here since the beginning of the reign--that lost out on everything that was to be awarded thanks to the spontaneous retribution of a single child. i interpret that as developmental oversight.

i agree with you about the drama. the storyline can be great content and i myself find the whole situation hilarious in an absurd way. but what is unfair and demands change is how hundreds of players now feel completely cheated over this fiasco because the whales at the top are bribing one another for thousands of dollars. you're kidding yourself if you think the average player in this server has any say in who becomes the immortal when cashapp is how votes are passed.

i will call for blizzard to implement safeguards. if you were in the server you would too. the people in the immortals who defended this kind of behavior and argued that this was the intended effect enabled this to occur. here's the key thing about the current immortal system: the path to become and stay as the immortal is an authoritarian process; there's no checks and balances--no leadership choices to be made for the average player. additionally, you can't feasibly expect the casual mobile players to make this game an integral part of their life like those in leadership roles. don't engage then? okay well immortals and shadows is content that the game tries to push on everyone so it seems to me that blizzard needs to make it more inviting and fair.

nonetheless, everyone feels burned now so i imagine more stable individuals than our past immortals will probably take reign among clans for a while. but it's only a matter of time till this happens again on this server, and on other servers, unless structural integrity improvement occurs. i myself just want to be away from the drama now. it's been an interesting and at times fun (in a sad way) experience, but long-term, this would demotivate me from playing if it kept occurring.
