maybe? but you're essentially saying that everyone that plays in the game has to be fully 100% invested in the war, and that won't work for all players, or all characters. as long as all parties are meeting the ac, it doesn't really matter what they do, tbh. would i like more active characters? sure, but i'm not the one playing them, so i don't get to control what they do or how they play.

a game cap doesn't mean anything beyond numbers. whether it's an app cap or a game cap, it's still just about letting people who want to play in the setting do so and putting a limitation on it. that's all. if someone apps in and is accepted, what they do after that isn't really anyone's concern as long as they meet the ac requirements. in a perfect world it might be nice to have the spots only taken by people who are going to be proactive, but this isn't a perfect world, it's just a hobby, and people are gonna do what they wanna do.
