First off I'll congratulate you on having the balls to steal from top end KDs, it's not every day that someone is willing to run the risk that comes with doing so, that being said - don't do it if you're not willing to get hit and/or pked. Shadowlight is this amazing spell that allows us to know exactly who's doing thievery ops to us and boy do we use it a lot (more so when our gold starts going missing). I get that there's this idea that in future ages you'll be able to screw over top KDs by harassing them all age long from OOP to EoA but let me give you a few reasons why that won't work.
1. Random locations, and random names: here in Utopia, at the end of every age your location as a KD is randomized before the start of the next age. In addition to this awesome feature, its not as if Pyro, CP, Pandas, ED, etc. Tag as such from the beginning of the age, so finding out who is who is going to be fun enough for you guys WARNING: if you THINK its a top KD you're going after, you may want to be careful. What if you accidentally go after another ghetto that has likeminded goals as far as harassment of the top goes?
2. Let's assume you DO find a top end KD, then what? You hit in until you give a button and create a farmwar for them so they can get big? Or let's assume you stop hitting them just before a button would be given, that doesn't mean they stop hitting you, sure it's not a WW with a land bonus, but they are still farming the acres. I know some of you have this idea that you'll all "back each other up" and you'd be naive to assume the top won't do the same.
3. Skill: When it comes down to it, the top is repeatedly the top for a reason and that reason is simple, we're either more dedicated to the game or we're simply better at it. Sure, maybe a few provs have low TPA and that makes it easy for some ghetto halfer to get some gold, but in the end guess what? We're always going to get bigger faster which means we'll have the offense to do whatever the hell we want in return for stolen gold or annoying hits here and there.
TLDR: The top is the top for a reason, don't ignore mail or raze tags if you're not ready to face the consequences. Less QQ, more Pew Pew.
Side note: I've seen people say "well getting gold stolen when they have 100m sitting there and not the TPA to protect it means they have to face the consequences" this is true, yet untrue. They're at the top, yes you can steal the gold but they can put a stop to that. When they come for revenge though? Guess what, Big with offense>Small with TPA. They can put an end to the stealing, you can't put an end to the hitting.
History and laws are written by those who win/have the power my friends, just remember that before you start QQing all over this post. Nut up or shut up time guys, we're following through on our threats and razing and no amount of complaining is going to stop that. Time for you to either **** us Top KDs OOP next age, or stop whining about getting caught with your hands in the cookie jar.
