The Anti-Wool movement

So I started a movement to remove the woolheads, by spreading the #NoWool around people's walls.
It actually has a lot of support and should be considered by the one and only Sjoerdtim.
These people shared the #NoWool:

I think this shows that the community wants to change something.

A sutuable replacement would be something like: the old thing, with custom heads and no heads or even the cobble stone heads. I am not saying bring back helmets since those give an unfair advantage but no helmets would do the trick. Nevertheless the red and blue names already are a great indication of what team someone is on.
The wool just doesnt feel good in the spirit of EmpreWar and it makes me feel like im playing on conwy, this is something a lot of players share my opinion.

I hope this is considered and hopefully gets changed.

Yours sincerely

no I actually was very opposed to wood thats why I said #NoWood.... obviously
 
I don't really have an opinion about this... I like the woolhead but I won't get mad if it get removed or replaced by something else.

Thats because you are a filthy unconverted Conwyite. Don't worry, we will convert you.
 
:)

Also the next movement should be the Anti-Generic Class Movement, for example both teams have the same classes and the name of the class is just a weapon/title (archer, shieldsman, medic etc- no uniqueness or colored armor/custom weapons such as dwarf hammer or royal guard)

Wool is a conwy thing. It's like battlefield using the HUD from call of duty, yeah it works and tells you how much ammo and shit you have but it's not the right look.\\

When there were cobblestone heads no one complained because that was the first sort of "head" players had. It didn't copy a server and it wasn't terrible, but upgrading to custom heads really improved the server and stepping down from that on EW v2 to not only generic wool but to the system that another server had that most EW players don't care about or never wanted to play.

So... Wool = Conwy? I've seen other servers use wool heads but that doesn't mean they're ripping off Conwy.

But are they 2 team siege servers? And wool isn't the first thing. Tim wants non linear maps, wool heads, armor stand generic classes in lobby, exactly copy and pasted spearman/medic from conwy, and all the core features of ew like special classes, custom Lotr things like helms deep ride out or grond are all gone. This is just one piece in the puzzle of fixing empire war.
 
This has nothing to do with Conwy, and why it's being used as an argument I don't know. Wool heads tell you what team they're on, but as do colored names, the wool's just uglier. Either helmets or custom heads, or both.
 
Tim stated that helmets will make their return.
Sooooooo, the movement worked. Tim is gonna remove the woolheads.
 
I like wool heads simply because the game was unfair before, what with the good guys having helmets and the bad guys not having them. The game was then tilted in the favour of the good guys, had it not been for the bad guy number advantage, allowing them to push. Add helmets for both sides, removing wools, or remove wools and don't add helmets, leaving both sides helmetless. Until that happens, wools should be kept, as they offer equal team equipment, even if they look worse.
