Disable Posse Recruitment During Events
Title says it all. I have seen this done in other games where the ability to apply to a guild/alliance/posse, is simply disabled during events.
While stacking players during an event may not be against the "Rules" or ToS, it leaves an impression of being unfair. Disabling recruitment would put an end to the "cheating" discussions.

For the rest of us it just means that we cant play the way we want to - bringing in people to learn, visit others and having fun AND most importantly - replace people who does not want to contribute!
Nobody cares if we make 300k or 600k or whatever....
Simple fact is stacking players during an event gives an unfair advantage and I doubt it is what the developers had in mind.
Why would you impose restrictions on how they want to use their Posse just because YOU feel there is a problem among the 10-15 highest scoring Posses ?
How big a problem is 'stacking players' in Posses not even close to reaching 100k ?
This is a game to be enjoyed - not something to be boxed in a certain way to cater for your personal desires.
Why not let those who enjoy the competition, compete fairly?
That has absolutely nothing to do with scores as the people we bring in make very few points.
They are either visitors or replacing someone making zero points.
You simply cant see the problem of imposing stupid laws on everybody to fix a problem you think exists... and if it does its limited to extremely few Posses?
I guess not so this will be my last entry in this thread.
My solution would be to only allow a player to collect a prize if they were a member of the posse when it was earned.
My 2 cents
West is hardly a game that lends itself to socializing. There is no personal, general, server or global chatting ability.
There are plenty of other avenues for socializing... The West FB page, forums, outside apps like FB, Twitter, Line, etc...
A member that takes pride in their posse should not be leaving it during an event that requires a group effort. surely that member could stay put during a 3 day event.
Y'all have come up with some very colorful excuses, but the simple fact is that groups are exploiting a loophole in the game. Behavior like this discourages those who might pay and support the app from spending and many from participating in the events.
When an organization presents a competition and it is centered around groups working together to climb leaderboards, one has a reasonable expectation that the competition will be conducted fairly.
Only letting folks receive items that they were present for may not be a bad idea provided their points are deducted when they leave the posse. Points could follow the player. If someone scoring 100k leaves the posse during the event, the points could leave with them and be deducted from the group score. However, groups would find a loophole in that I am sure.
And to expand upon the soccer analogy... When Alabama and Clemson play... Folks don't go running from one side to the other during halftime to "socialize". They go to their respective locker rooms to work out plays and strategies and prepare for the 3rd quarter.
And it does matter because some of us actually like to compete and have a chance of winning occasionally. That's the whole point of the leaderboard.
I have fun within my posse so I don't really care but it will kill the game faster than it would have died otherwise.
Well grounded, considered arguments are more effective then emotional jabs.
Because someone doesn't agree with you, doesn't necessarily make them wrong, childish, and/or crazy.
... The opinion of a 52 year old, casual gamer.
Because there is no effective global chat, the only way to catch up with an old clan is to visit. Fix loopholes... Yes! But do it without hobbling interaction & communication.
but I have noticed there are some posse rotating players since beginning for their own advantages ( either goal or leaderboard ) , example : Beowulf, Saigon, world class
We are working on reaching 3.5. One player at a time. When you don't get spoon fed cards and choose to play the right way and climb up the way a game is made to be played then it takes time.
You guys are doing great this event! Keep it up
Seriously you don't see how this messes up the game? Maybe instead of accusing people of complaining you should stop given them reasons to bring up these subjects and "complain" as you call it and focus on your posse instead of spoon feeding others. Let posses work their way up like we all did. Doesn't it make the game more fun to let people earn?
We are in 5th. And we aren't even playing our strongest cause we know we can't make 3.5. When we are ready we will aim for it. But you know what? We are in 5th and no one spoon fed us cards we didn't earn. No one needed that. Or wanted that. We got here playing the game has it should be played.
Some of you guys with your logic are quite funny. Always finding a way to justify your freaky actions. Charity is fine. In REAL life. In a game all that does is make the game boring faster for people. But we all know with all online games there is always a few that come and ruin it with loopholes. Not once has this not happen.
With that said no I'm not mad. I was simply agreeing with the person who started the thread that's all. It's a game. I got frustrated about this feeder and card crap at the beginning because I played hard and long to get to where i am and I hate seeing others ruin that. But what can I do? Nothing. I'm long time over that now. I was just agreeing. Why? Because the more the dev team sees it in threads the more they might do about it. That's really my reason behind my reply
Let the trains roll on!!
As always we are entitled to our own opinions. But we all know what I'm saying here right?
We are entitled to have our opinions. No one always agrees to the same ideas.
I still enjoy the game non the less and enjoy my posse. A good bunch of people from all over the world
I totally agree with you. A bunch of classless fools. I would rather lose playing fairly then to win this way.
At least some of us don't do that. Well actually all of us except heh.
What an accomplishment to he proud of wow
The real winners this week are TOPGUNZ no doubt about it.
Heh as ruined the fun of even chasing first place. I have a few names in mind as well but I'll just bite my tongue. It is just a game. Unfortunately a game that has been affected by their tasteless cheap tactics
Win fairly or don't win at all. If cpw fixes this heh will end up behind all of us cause they won't be able to handle the pressure or not having feeders. We will get to 3.5 eventually. We aren't even playing strong right now. No sense. We know we won't reach 3.5. But we are getting stronger every week. And if we do make 3.5 we can be proud of it. Users feeders takes away any pride I would have.
Boo to heh.
YAY TOPGUNZ. Congrats on the win
Nice team work and great hussle to the end posse!!
And all that with two players on vacation. And some still only with 3 trains! Now that is what I call team work!
We much rather play with integrity and work as a team then to sneak our way to 1st place. No pride in winning that way. But lots of pride playing the way we do!
