My main problem with the FA, and why it creates such an amount of fatique, is because the time it takes.
It's like doing your tournaments manually. at a certain point it has been enought and you can no longer power up yourself to do it.
Ok you could just do the long productions instead, but at least a decent portion have to go on a clickfest for the 5 and 15 min badges.
Like some said, it easily turns into work.
Tournament I can handle 20 provincies in a 15-30 min a day session,(twice on 1 day for 6 rounds) but how am I making those 5 and 15 min badges in large enough quantities in a similar timely fashion?
You gotta be lucky to have a few retired people in your guild who dont mind to click from early morning to late at night to get all those short productions.
If we did this 2-4 times a year, and had a few empty non event weeks with it We could really enjoy the FA, but at the current pace of FA combined with events it's more of a drag.
