Merit needs changing or removing. All it currently does is get stronger players to farm weaker players. The stronger player will travel out to newer servers and just sit there hitting weaker/new players to build merit.
All this does is alienate newer players and doesn't make the game enjoyable. Sure you can live in a bubble but with the way truces work, you can't spool them up and if you're late back, you lose everything. Sure you can have a protector but that assumes they're watching during the ten seconds it takes someone to teleport right besides you and hit you.
In fact the whole protector system is rubbish. Just open it up for the whole clan. One clan member should be able to enact a truce for any other clan member.
Merit should be for hitting a similar powered player, not some "pay to win" player teleporting to a new server and hitting all the new players that are 1/10th their size.

DearBruce Watkins ,
I can assure you that even before merit was implemented in the game, the "stronger" players were attacking the weaker. But I'll submit your suggestion to the Old Gods :)
Regards
Yes but there is attacking weaker players and there is being rewarded for attacking weaker players and then there is being forced to attack weaker players to progress..........
I understand your frustration, Bruce. That's why we have a truce that you can obtain free in-game, fighting as a zeroed castle is the most favourite tactic in-game as well. You can get more information about how to manage your account as a zeroed castle as following: https://forum.gtarcade.com/topic/2605
Regards.
Great suggestion, just learn to live with being farmed...... Awesome.......
Clearly you don't understand the frustration. It's a bad mechanic and people playing with empty castles is just people trying to get around the bad mechanic.
Empty castle tactics is just what you resort to to survive after you run out of truces. A fun game it does not make.
You need to understand that Merit is the Hard On that Payers get when they smash F2P players esp in new Kingdoms that are open to be abused by these Morons. Remember that the last 100+ Kingdoms that have been created have been 90% alt accounts from established players. They want Farm Accounts that they can grow and move out when the Kingdom opens up. Old Accounts move in and 100% of the time will take-over the Kingdom and basically every single actual real player that comes into the game now is fucked - you will lose 400k T3 troops and they will lose maybe 100. That is how fucked up this game is. So no new real players coming in for ages and the Devs just keep milking the morons that spend money. You grow and develop your Commanders and in 6 months they will be nerfed and worth less than you started with. Rebel Leaders get stronger every month and events are impossible for new players to take part in. If your new to the game by advise is get the fuck out and dont waste money on this garbage. It will be dead and servers taken off-line in 6 months when the milking morons drys up.
Merit is just a statistic..... Same as your gathered resource amount, same as your attack and defense count.... Merit gives nothing, idk why this question was raised xD
If devs remove merit stat - people will keep farming players to get elimination stats...
Remove elimination stats - people will just keep farming players for fun...
Believe me, merit hunts are nothing compared to battles vs fully maxed players than will just vanish all your troops with few attacks. Even if people stop merit hunts and you will "peacefully raise your troops" - one KvK/CCS and say goodbye to your troops.
Zero castle point is not to avoid merit hunts... It is just a strat to keep yourself in affordable range of troops to hide them in case of attacks during big events
You have bubbles and protection orders to stay aside from merit hunters
