hey, I'm about to reveal to you my deepest thoughts of the Alignment Point system, so i'd be pleased if you'd take yourself a second to at least vote on the Poll and maybe leave a comment with your opinion about it.

well back to the topic
I used to like AP (Alignment Points). In fact, I loved it. But now I sat back a bit and thought a little bit about it and I really don't like it anymore, sure it has some good sides i think, but everything would be better without it to me.
I'll now tell you some advantages of the AP System.
When you have 100 AP, and you're not really that Pker type of person, other people will not be able to hit you with a sword. Good. but they can still hit you with arrows, bombs or horse. not really helpful then.

I can't tell you more. advantages, please tell me in the comments below if there are.

now we're at the disadvantages
No healing? No sense.. to me
People can no longer heal if they have below 20 AP (not sure, haven't tested)
Why? to make it fair for those who are not that good at PK? how is that fair to those who are? and why are pro sparrers with a rating of 7000+ still able to spar people with a rating of 5000+ then? makes no sense to me. if you want fairness then really do fairness.

Saints(people with 100 AP)
People could just make an organized group/guild of many people being saints.
those rush the flagroom and place all around the flag and start to hit, only then they'd be able to get damage by sword which is most likeley already too late.
they could do this to your fort! right now!
are you with me?

Friend Indicators
those are really annoying and for some people hard to see.

Spar
when you spar with 100 AP you'll first think: "yeahh! cool i'm not losing AP". But then, when you're not paying attention to it and are no more worried about losing AP.. BOOM. that's where you'll lose your AP.

If you have more disatvantages, please comment below.

Summary
Why can't we just get back our usual Name Tag colors and Delete this - to me - awful system? it's nothing but (excuse my language here) a pain in the ass to most of the Players.

I mean Red Name for Guild, Purple for Ally, lightblue for random Player, Darkblue for a friend and a Gold Tag for a Staff is much more clearly than some wiggeling arrows that Jump above players head. It looks like those are killer Arrows poking our heads till we die.

Can we just have the old Names back? and forget about the AP System? I'll tell you what, no I promise you, when we are rid of these Alignment Points everyone, believe it or not, is going to be much more wanting to go out and PK, Tower or Spar.
