    I'd like to bring up option to lose a fight on purpose. There are a ton of people at the top with high defense who are bored and this could save that. The reason the high levels are bored is because most people lose to them and don't bother to attack so they don't attack back. My proposal is this. Have a setting on your profile that would cut you're defense down to 1(hired squad affected too), but only temporarily. Here is how it would work.

    There would be a little checkbox on your profile with the option labeled "Throw a Fight"
    Checking this would be like cutting out all of your defense strength(hired, personal, and squad) except your items.
    Anybody attacking you that would normally win would get the same XP that they would fighting you without this feature on.
    Anybody attacking you that would normally lose would get 0xp.
    There would be at least a 5 minute waiting period between turning it off and on(So you can't lure someone who would lose into hitting you then make them feed you xp.)
    Would cost 5 UN to toggle on, free to toggle off.


    I already know one person who got so bored with this game now that there's nothing to do but hunt that he quit facebook and restarted on myspace. So far he is under level 500 has over 1000 attack and 1 defense. After making it past level 2000 with almost nobody being able to beat him he got bored with the game and started a new one where even as a high level he would still have the rivals to have fun. I think this would be a great way to keep higher levels in the game. We should all have the option to lose a fight if we want to, so give us the choice ;)

    To the person that voted a 1(I know there was a 1 because of an earlier rating), please elaborate on what you think is wrong with this idea. It's nothing forced, and has no downside. It won't mess up the xp for those that normally win, and it can't be abused with alts to gain xp. It can't be abused as a bait and switch because of the wait time, and it most likely won't be overused due to the fact it costs 5 UN to make the setting. I really want to know why anybody would think this is a bad idea.

    I'll give it 3, not sure why. Maybe to show it wasn't me that voted 1 :)
    On a serious note whats to stop someone with high defense attacking someone else with high defense. They are bound to lose to some of them as their attack will be weaker.

    The main reason is people with high defense at a higher level sometimes lack a fight list. If this was put in then those people could toss their defense out for however long they want so people can win against them. If more people hit you then you have a better rivals and you can fight more.

    Also nice to know you shut down an idea that would help keep the higher levels in the game. An idea that could possibly give people something more to do instead of click the hitlist tab with no fight list all day. Was this vote just in spite? If anything this would help you more than I considering I have 1 defense anyway.

    That would also affect attack though. My suggestion is to make it easier for the higher levels to fight. Some people will attack them just to gain 40 wins. The high levels in return could attack them back and have something to fight for once.

    I just think it would be nice to be able to lose fights on purpose.

    You truly have a splendid idea, I give it a 9, the only reason I don't give it a ten is because I'm sure someone could find a way to abuse this idea, I mean if there is a will there is a way. I do like all the ideas and limits and stuff you suggested to go with it though...

    I tend to agree with this.

    There are down points to the game no matter your level, but people are still pushing to level up to somewhere they know there's very little to do.

    I am happy for something to be done, but i don't think this is it. I wont vote as i don't really know what to give it.
