Greetings. This is my first posting, so forgive me if I make a mistake.

When the invasion occured in Ashtan, I went to fight, knowing that I was
likely going to get myself killed. And, as a matter of fact, I did.
Multiple times.

Many people died multiple times. When facing regiments of troops that
kill in one hit and are aggressive, such is a fact of life. I don't mind
the experience I lost as a result of going to fight, because it was for
a noble cause.

What I DO mind is that, during the invasion, when some of the heaviest
fighting was going on, I heard that some citizens of Ashtan, including
some of the cities LEADERS, weren't fighting, instead, they went
landmarking, bashing, or sparring in the Arena.

That is unacceptable to not fight for your own city, when countless
other people from across the realm are fighting and dying to save YOUR
city, not to mention the world in general, more than likely.

I am not going to name names. These people know who they are, and more
than likely, other citizens of the city may know who they are. They
should be punished however Ashtan decides, because not fighting to save
your city is the worst crime I could imagine against a city you're a
citizen of.

Thank you for your time.
