@JollyElf, it’s hard to stay calm when the person is the “losing side”, if they feel they are being abused. It’s easier to stay calm and mature, when the person feels they have the upper hand, if they think they are winning (doing stuff to the other party which that party does’t like, but doesn’t have much power to prevent it).
On topic.
Personally, I play in the app (with rare logins from browser, which is the only time I can even respond to swap threads), so I’ve got extremely limited options when it comes to my AW and even worse when it comes to AW of others. Some people in my fellowship were/are? doing this hunting, but I didn’t join them even when I had the rare opportunity of being close to browser. It’s just not my style. Interestingly, I have three cities and only one fellowship was/is doing that - the “competitive one”.
It’s true the practice is in no way against any rules put down by Inno.
It’s true that a person who finds out a pack of “foreigners” landed on their AW and grabbed the chests might feel abused.
And I don’t see anything good coming out from this thread. One side never persuades the other side. These are different play styles. Incompatible.
