Better players will moan, but in the earlier rounds working in a siege situation was something that many of the top players had to contend with and simply accept they were going to get a shitty ranking for the sake of the team. A cluster war also gives ordinary players the chance to participate in wars that matter. Right now it is all a bit of a closed shop and we need to change that.

100% agree

much is been takin away indeed
no communication with gal anymore, or hardly any, cause if you dont know the ppl or feel they need help you exile asap
no communication in cluster anymore, cause someone said it was wise to remove cluster eta bonus
i mean you dont even have to stay awake anymore to report your incs, aka you dont need to communicate whos takin the night shift
end of story like lokken said, bring back cluster stuff and remove the exiling or transform it, see my thread here:
