Folks who earned the title legitimately will no doubt earn it again, and with better policies in place, those who farmed/exploited will hopefully be dissuaded/prevented from earning it again.

NONE ACCEPTABLE solution.
i've been emperor on dawnbreaker and i did play 14hours+ a day for at least 4 weeks without a single day break.
i dont want and wont do that ever again cause it pretty much was a 100% break from real life.

i actually would instantly quit the game if they remove my passive.

i dont even know where the problem is.
the game still has a at least 5 digit playerbase and out there, there is prolly like 100-150 former emps.
why do you guys even care?

What's best for the game overall outweighs the desires of the few. No one forced you or anyone else to play a game 14+ hours a day and give up everything else in life. That was your choice. In the end, it is still just a game, and anything anyone obtains from it doesn't truly exist.

The fact remains that something needs to be done as regards the many people who farmed and exploited their way to Emperor. No solution will be perfect or even pleasant, but the alternative is to essentially allow people to keep benefits they do not deserve and did not truly earn. That, in my mind, is a far worse idea than wiping and starting with a clean slate.

You know.. most 'emp farmers' actually threw away their social lives for 1-2 weeks(depending on dedication). I wouldn't say they did not earn it. The former emp buff does not appear to be such a big issue in my eyes. I would not care if it got removed since the buff would only mean anything on a super large scale battlefield or in pve.

I'm pretty sure the reason this is still an on-going topic is because of the bad behaviour/treatment some of the 'emp farmers' have shown. This does not mean every single person out there who supposedly 'farmed' the title are all content with bullying other players for their own gain or ever did so.
