Recent PVPs have been generating less than 10 percent of expected points
A glitch seems to have occurred with the awarding of PVP points over the last few days and I am receiving less than 10% of the points I would normally expect. I have lost around 1.5 million in defence over the last few days but received very little return in points even though on checking the attackers' level numbers and general strength I see that most of them are weaker. Ordinarily I would expect to receive about 10 points per phalanx lost when attacked by players of the same strength and about 25 points per phalanx if the player is weaker. If it is a very powerful player whose general's armour is 40% or 50% and if they apply all their boosts then maybe I would expect to get only about half to two thirds of the normal points, but I have not been getting even that. I have checked with coalition members in case it was happening to others. I thought maybe Plarium has changed things and is awarding less points than before. But it seems it is only happening to me. Looking at coalition stats I see that another member with a similar level of defence in the pantheon and who like me has won most of their points from pantheon defence has received twice as many points as I have and other players with half the level of defence that I have have won a similar number of points. And they are not more advanced in their treaties or general armour or elixirs. If the cause were a change in the points awarding system or if it were because the attacking players were more powerful than expected then everyone in the coalition would receive only a fraction of their usual points. But as it is only happening to me there must be a glitch. Not only am I being awarded far less points than is normal for the small sizes of attack and great strength of my defence but I am also losing more troops than would be expected. And not only am I losing more troops for less return, but the game seems to be selectively making me lose more of the valuable troops like veterans even when there are less of them, whereas ordinarily the game makes you lose the same proportion of troops in each category. So if you had, for example 600 mounted peltasts and 400 veteran mounted peltasts and just 25 veteran legates and you were to lose 0.5% of your total or one in 200 troops, you would expect to lose 3 mounted peltasts, 2 veteran mounted peltasts and no veteran legates, but instead you lose 3 veteran legates, 5 veteran mounted peltasts and only one ordinary mounted peltast, like the game is deliberately taking out your strongest troops and on top of that only giving you a tenth of the normal points. And this is from waves of relatively weak attacks that would normally only make you lose one soldier per group of 600 or more and this is still the case for most players with a similar level of troops to me. It's just me who is being disproportionately robbed of my fewer stronger troops and being awarded disproportionately low points.
