    Default Can we remove the aps from the 5,000 and 10,000 flag achievements?

    They just seem too much considering they were intended to be done under combat conditions. I think the others up to 1,000 flags granting aps is fine.

    Those that gained 5,000 and 10,000 flags can instead be rewarded titles or something.

    To save space for another thread - On the top player leaderboard, PvE kills are used as a tie breaker. Since the PvE kills leaderboard was removed because it was prone to cheating..can something else be used as a tie breaker? Its almost like the top player leaderboard is: work hard to gather aps --> cheat to gain a top spot.

    As i said in previous post i thought about new ranks ( advocate , lightbearer and so on ) make it 50 aps per rank or so wouldn't be bad for lb. People grind it anyway

    That joke was almost as original as your ign when comparing it to new ign's.

    Most did it at a time where CTF was extremely active. Its been dead since the 56 cap. I'm asking for change with the times.

    Its not even done as it was intended. People just flag freely. This was intended to be done during combat so its pretty ridiculous.

    Its not like the people who gained 5,000 and 10,000 flags shouldn't still be rewarded for their achievements.

    Because people have commitments outside of the game and don't have the 2-3 hours in a day, every day of the week, to pointlessly move flags from A to B and back...

    Not everyone has as much time on their hands as you some of us have work and don't want to come home and slave away for a pixel banner. Personally I don't find any banners impressive except timed runs and those very few legit pve banners.

    This has already been discussed multiple times. Same comments every single time. Achievements aren't things that should be easy. They require time and dedication. If you want to be on Top Players LB flags APS are required. Not because those that don't have enough time or find flagging silly, STS should remove it, no. If you trully want to accomplish something you work hard for it to achieve it. Not because you might not want to work, put effort in these APS they have to be removed. No no.

    What most people don't understand is the people who got the APs got them during a time where it wasn't so difficult to flag. By that, I mean, they could earn 70+ flags per hour.

    My friend is using 2 devices (2 chars) to open rooms for himself to reach 10k flags aps. Maniacally sitting there for hours sometimes, he already did 1k flags in 1 week (around 9k now) so it's all about if you are lazy or not. Up to you to run or not -> It has to be comptetitive.
    Btw. you don't need 10k flags APS to get on Top Player Lb

    Maybe a developer can just confirm this by telling us if the flag aps were intended to be achieved via (non-combat, peaceful, non PvP) free-flagging.

    Its not a case of no "time", no "dedication", finding "flagging silly" and laziness. its the case of: who actually gained 5,000 or 10,000 flags while in a legit PvP situation?

    So your friend is flagging the way it was intended correct?

    My thoughts exactly:

    Hey guys,

    Just want to chime in here on our stance on this one. It's true that the game has changed over time and though it may be a high number by today's standard we won't be changing it. The primary reason is because the achievement has been earned by many many players and any reduction in requirements to it would be a disservice to players that have spent the time to earn it.

    Seems fair enough. BUT:

    Maybe revert flagging back to the 2 people can hold 2 flags at the same time system since these many many players got all the/the majority of the flag aps during that time? its better than just leaving it the way it is now.

    If its the case of not changing the aps themselves. How about giving us all an equal chance to get them?

    Adding new flag based map as CTF could help here. I got also idea about add flag option to Guild Battleground. Not kill based but one who get more flags after 15 minutes ( or longer amount of time ) wins.

    I think this is disappointing. I think JustG's vision for this game doesn't align with your response, Carapace.

    For the people who had to spend hundreds of hours grinding flags I am truly sorry, but this AP is extremely outdated. Some sort of recognition (much like the 100m - midas touch title) is in order
