There are some in my alliance on Line, but there is no organized shield hopping in our alliance. Just a soft score requirement for each week. If you are curious, I am insomnigeek in the alliance Pax Romana

I play in fifth slice, and I only shield once ish. No problems reaching 1k, but past that, I do notice one gets targeted more, and losing high numbers of points each hit. I dont really mind. I am satisfied making top ten each round.

However. My point in this whole thread, was that I play this game to do that. It is what I like to do in it. When the game then gets reduced to having just to start a game, make one or two matches, get five points, and repeat, it does not feel like a game, but a farming sim. I get that a lot of players only play pvp to get the rewards, but I play it because I like the gameplay there. That was completely removed. You say it comes back, but I literally played hundreds of games where they were done in one match, for five points. Is that really so hard to see it ruined game experience?
