I don't comprehend your question. I don't have any issues with the past system 99% of the time; if anything my issues was that capping the meters at 150 points (maxing the meter) sucked -- but it rarely effected me. You could reasonable defend your self against a huge host of kingdoms without being forced to CF or war. Some kingdoms were better bullies then others but generally a kingdom with the talent, and activity to bully you despite the facts, didn't want to waste their time -- they had better goals / things to do... Now every unskilled ghetto that is bored can just bully without much concern.
