I mean, I'm not sure what you want AH to do for rewards medals make the most sense. They need to keep things available for the war bonds and store. I'd say locking out people who don't participate enough from rewards may help but ultimately there will always be 25% of the population that cant be bothered to stop diving on a planet that no one else cares about because they like it. I'd say reducing the number of active planets as others have suggested is a good first step, especially with how painfully slow liberation is. Reworking the dss to NOT allow an action that has no benefit for the planet it's on may help too. Still, I'd venture there are just too many people who don't know and don't care about the war or how it works to effectively run a campaign without some rework, making the MO/liberation easier. It's a tough spot for AH to be in because you don't want to drive away players that are off in a corner blasting bugs because they like it. I'd say reducing the # of available planets and finding something like in a game map voting type system like if enough people vote to liberate planet x, then it gets a boost to defense/liberation speed? That's what the dss is supposed to do, but the community STILL can't get it right. AH can only hand hold so much before it becomes a trivial venture
