I already asked about this, the targets are being removed as the Treasure Islands takes its place...

What's the purpose of the Whitmore & Company now that targets have gone.

And what about the pearls applied to allow you hold three targets?

I do agree but the best way I think, we'll see targets return is Plarium seeing how much we're dissatified with this current approach. I'm not suggesting people not bother but if the masses make enough noise maybe we can get them back.

I am slaughtering treasures for PVP 

& not occupying one since i do not to lose my def troops while i know that i would not get any single resources from it.

plarium just rigged the whole thing now though, This just gave a huge advantage on PvP hunters

they will be harder to hold,  Not sure what benefit we really have holding them now, are they worth the gears we gain and defense we lose trying?

I also consider phasing out targets being stagnation. The treasure Islands are too sterile approach.

The old targets were more playful for several reasons. I try to point out some:

-Captain must be quick to pull out his offences before somebody attacks them.

-Possible to hold with only one bonnie and communicate to other captains (please, threaten, pribe, cooperate) in the area to keep the target. (No need to have big crew out waitnig to be slaughtered).

-Possible to send anonymous reinforcements to other captains targets to get anonymous PvP.

-Possible to get relics from relic targets.

Because there are only relic targets now that are seen from more grater distances in the lighthouse, those are also more useless because there are too many captains for too few targets.

for your last point, Relic targets are around :)

i didn't get this anonymous point as well.

Plarium used one bonnie thing as a negative one.

Relic targets are visible from 156 mi even with the lighthouse range of only 60mi. Yeah that is not too bad.

I do not know why the one bonnie thing is considered negative.

But it seems the new Treasure islands have indeed resulted in some raise in the PvP points levels and some big battles have taken place.

According to my calculations if i make 10 successful trips to a buried gold treasure island and is wiped on the 11 attempt, then i might not have gotten enough gold to replace the lost troops. And that doesn't even take into consideration the lumber, rum and time that went into those troops.

A sort tripp might be safe but you will probably collect more resources in less time by collecting the flotsam around your friends islands. And a large force will be exposed to every pvp hunter hitting random treasure islands, and even a tiny loss in units will make the attempt a loss in resources and time.

They're just not worth it.. It's hardly a "Treasure Island" with the amount of resources you collect from them if indeed you actually collect anything at all!

I agree with Kitty

I can get more resources from a single raid in 1 minute than I would from a treasure island if I managed to hold it for 6 months!!

Put some treasure worth fighting for on them!!

The whole point of them phasing out Targets was that there weren't any casualties. Plarium wants you to lost huge masses of fleet so you will buy them back. Treasure islands were held, collected from and even if they were taken, we would take them back. Most only held with 1 Bonnie. During PVP, some would load their Targets up with defense but rarely.
