I've been playing this game for many ages and every age since the EOWcf period was introduced. And I can't recall being robbed more than once or twice for all the ages.
The main reason is probably because it isn't worth it.
I believe that 90 % of the Utopian community don't do robberies in EOWCF, except for new players who don't know the basics.
Saints put this robbery into a system, and tried to get away with it. Unfortunately they did it enough times to stuble upon a kd that didn't like it at all, and that was willing to kill off provinces to teach them a lesson.
I can't see anything wrong here, from both parties, and it suprises me that Saints are complaining so much about it.
In Utopia you can do whatever you want, as long as you can get away with it, and as long as you don't care about what other people think of you or your kd.
But my personal opinion is that it's quite lame to rob ppl in EOWCF, that period is there because of a reason, and people stock gc and money in order to get most out of the short period of time.
Saints can now go back and revenge the PK provinces, or settle this. It's all about who is stronger.
But my guess they will be quite much GB involved because now the woke the bear in all the other kds that feel wronged, and that's what this is about.
If you don't like what's being done to you, bite back.
But morale of the story is, do not think you re invincible.
