Treaty payers aren't asked or required to donate food to the tribe. What gave you that idea?

I'm surprised there's so much negative reaction to this thread. I'm thinking most everyone saw it was written by the chief and ignored the rest of it? The point of this thread, that most seem to have missed is: 0% Purity with no way to increase = BAD for everyone.

Hmm.. I play this game so I assume that I am part of that everyone, but I am managing to raise my purity, slowly, without high humus or stores of food, and you know what? Im enjoying it. So, bad for everyone isnt quite true is it.

The only bad thing about these purity updates was that they took so long.

There is a method of increasing purity, you've all just been breastfed for so long you forgot how to work for your food. (Myself included).

But there is an artificial cap on it. Do you know how hard its been for these Braves to survive off only being able to grow 40-50% food?

When you wake up from your little role playing game maybe you will realise that more people play this than just the tribe, and that their opinions matter too. Its a dreadful shame that your poor "braves" (in inverted commas cause I'm not sure thats the right description for them) cant keep their biles at OP levels and maybe they will have to rely on skill instead, but I am sure that in the long run the game will be better for the changes that are happening. And anyway. Its up to the developers and it seems that this is the way they want it to go. Maybe you should go back to WOW?

I don't think the Tribe should have to work as hard, they've already put alot of effort in being the best on the server. If anything, for all their work they should get ALOT more distinct advantages, beyond already pure humus and worms, in order to maintain what they've already achieved. No update should have the potential to change server dynamics.

Actually, the humors that were achievable, with great effort, in the old system are barely at the level needed to raid with the OP defenses that are currently in place. And those humors are being reduced quite a bit with each raid, making it harder and harder to do anything. Always a good bit of skill was needed to raid without dying and it is needed even more now.

The main problem though, isn't just the constant loss of humor levels that can't be replaced, it's the inability to grow enough food to replace the BB and Phlegm used during raiding. That's why it's called a famine. Valuable as the loot on a claim might be (assuming the visible chests and such are full, there's never a way to tell without breaking in first) it's already reached a point where the food cost of raiding is more than any possible gain.

Maybe you should choose your targets more effectively then, and only for good reason, not just to fill your pixel stomachs. The fact here is that the tribe do not deserve any special treatment just because they became over powered. Maybe we can have some proper politics on Plymouth now, with people actually being on a more level playing field. The king is dead, long live the king.

The Tribe will not stop seeking justice just because of recent updates, it is ridiculous to think they would. Your opinion also does not constitute fact, I could say "The fact here is that the tribe deserves advantages for being better than everyone else before the update".
