How good are these players? I don't know. Characterizing the whole group as "Pointwhores" is an incorrect use of the term. A pointwhore is a a player who sacrifices troop count for point count. These players, as a whole, have not done that with some exceptions. Barb munching? Yeah, that's the state of the world right now.
There are indeed two simple ways of defining a pointwhore. In my opinion the correct meaning would be indeed, someone that sacrifices his troop count for points. Most known example is having maxed out villages.
On the other hand there is the villagewhore, who's only out for easy-to-noble villages as barbs and quit players, which doesn't necessarily means he is out for the points or the rank, as a low points/village average might point out.
good examples of both would be, respective, lilianax and manoka. lilia having highest points per village average of the whole top 20 and still not getting in top 3. manoka the other way around, having most villages but still not being first.
So lets just all stop waging wars and noble barbarians instead? Oh wait that process is 90% complete already. I just don't see the fun in nobling barbs when you still have enemies... And there ALLWAYS are enemies.
Meh there are always enemies if it gets boring. Look at me I was going to declare on RMC but only reason I didn't was because I was quitting anyway. I would dare put my money on it that over 70% of the players on active frontlines noble more barbs then enemies. I say it's an inefficient decision to noble barbs. Nobling barbs is just like a cold war, you all noble as much barbs as possible and try to noble more then the other side. But when you are not nobling barbs you can noble enemies which makes them go into the defensive. Even if they keep nobling barbs they also keep losing villages to you. Don't say it's inefficient not to noble barbs because I had been inactive for half a year before januari last year and had dropped down to rank 250 or so. In half a year without nobling a single barb I had gotten up to rank 95 or so again. And don't let a couple K's keep you from nobling enemies, I have nobled from K33 into K0 and K1 before aswell at a much earlier stage around 4.5mill. Think of what you can do with 20 mill and a couple friends.
What w6 is lacking is more then just activity, it's also a strong leadership. Everything is friendspolitics nowadays, everyone is friends with everyone.
So no-one in the top 20 is close to enemies? And I do not share the same vision that the primary objective is to grow your account.
No, that's not what I'm saying.
First off, there aren't always enemies. On this world, in my core area, there haven't been enemies for 2 years. And, I don't mean there weren't any enemies in my direct area. There were no areas for K's and K's. I'm a big part of that, and I've already documented some of the events that led up to that happening as being my biggest errors in TW (merge with -RB, Merge again, Merge again). But, we all make mistakes, and mine were made because I was relatively new to the game.
Abandon nobling is not fun. But it can be productive. Here's what I'm saying: If you have a choice between doing nothing because you have limited wars in your area, OR nobling inactives/abandons in your cluster...You are making an inefficient decision if you decide not to noble.
Thats why a good leader tries to make sure that all of his players have a piece of every border. He arranges nobling excursions and village exchanges in such a way that there are no real personal clusters but rather a homogeneous and compact tribal cluster. Tribe mates are forced to be in communication with each other because the closest support to them comes often not from themselves but their tribemates. Each member has personal involvement in every war. One member going inactive doesnt leave an entire sector of tribal territory to go grey.
