The burnout is starting to feel real, and I think it's reflecting in attitudes all around.
I personally wish all of the actual fighting was pushed out of cities. I don't really like raiding as it's currently setup, but we make do with what we have. I really think we missed the mark by not including the Nishnatoba battles from the previous War. Those are the main Events posts from the War, and where all of the lore is tied so (statue of the Undying, Proficy's epic last ditch dbomb that took out like 12 dudes, etc) - and it's completely ignored for the current war system.
Also believe that ignoring allied villages is a mistake, as well. Jaru/New Hope/Blackrock/Enverren have played 0 part in this war, and that's not really interesting either.
Seafaring isn't something very many people enjoy (from my biased perspective, of course) and both sides have done 0 on that front. I would personally prefer a focus on skirmishing within locations that make sense, than all of this work to get sanction/deny sanction/use guards that happens every single raid. It's not fun or interesting, when you know what's coming from miles away and still can't stop it (very well, not saying there aren't options), and you lose the fight because of it.
Penwize has cowardly forfeited the challenge to mortal combat issued by Atalkez.
There's a valid point to this, but at the same time you have to realize that Mhaldor is a smaller city than Targ. Not capitalizing on chances would be stupid.
Maybe if there was some kind of equalizer here? Example - Previous comments have talked about the neutral battlegrounds. What if sides had to choose champions for this to enter the battlefield? RP-Wise there could easily be messages echoing in the area about the battle raging but MECHANICALLY there's only a certain number of people on the field at any given time.
The idea to this is that the characters aren't saying "hey we aren't gonna attack this city because x reason". It's them saying "We shouldn't attack these cities because we have too many resources tied up on the warfront".
Players who aren't into PVP could contribute via war supplies(essence for order capable abilities useful only on the battlefield and other supplies?) which doesn't trump the PVP going on but -enhances it- based on that teamwork.

Oh geeze, it's things like this that make me realize how much I probably shouldn't talk and just watch the big boys argue. I didn't realize Nishnatoba was its own -plane-. I thought it was an area on the continent.
OMG THEY DISCORDED EVERYONE IN THEY ARE HORRIBLE PEOPLE WHO HATE FUN
to:
Well, I know that I journal a lot when I'm afk, and I know a lot of other people do that too. These people were probably journaled and have been sticking their heads in to see if there's any action, because that's what I do, too.
Life is so much better when you're not constantly assuming the worst because everyone is your enemy OOC too.
Yeah, was mainly responding to the "hurr durr Targ no fite".

This seems to be a feeling reflected on Mhaldor's side as well, that the earring train is strong with Targ.
A takeway from this is that maybe earring needs better balancing rather than being upset over players taking advantage of the tool they have available? Like maybe Earrings should have charges much like mystical cards, or maybe if you've used earring, you can't use another one for such and such amount of time. I dunno.

that's what u get for tanking our bank
I personally just resolved to not let the numbers bother me too much either way, just fight this war when we can, where we can and have fun with it as much as possible. When it ends, after perhaps a little break from each other to cool down, we can go back to our regular skirmishing where we can sod off if you just don't feel like fighting us.
No one is even accusing each of being a horrible person IRL yet.

This is the thread for feedback on the current war system. What does winning or losing have to do with it? I don't think any more changes are being made mid-war. The radio silence implies we're dragging this out to the end. My feedback has stayed the same since day one.
Mhaldor has an EU/AU team and that's probably the only raid we can attend, for those of us logging in before or after work. Your team can fight without you sometimes, Sothantos, and they can even fight good odds with guards on side. Your response has been to bring double the guys while I'm sleeping, and yesterday you wouldn't engage until you had the same advantage. People got bored and logged off, waiting for you. Let's have perception match reality.
To everyone, I'm genuinely sorry if it feels like leaders don't care, rather than trying to get their cities through this slog of a playtest. The bottom was bound to fall out.
