Dear Developers,
There are many paid options in the game, but premium heroes completely destroy competitiveness by making it impossible for non-paying players to participate. It stops being about skill.
I propose introducing a "Standard Heroes Only" match option. All alliances choosing this mode would fight on a map where paid heroes are deactivated for everyone, with no restrictions on castle development or home-state gameplay.
This fair-play alternative will revitalize the event, bringing back true competition where strategy matters more than the wallet.
