AW Offseason and the AW Burnout Issue

Please reconsider your decision to start AW Season 7 in one week. I don't think I'm only speaking for my alliance when I say that people were so relieved when this season ended. The high price and stress of AW is driving many people crazy, and without a decent off season to work on other content, save some items, and just take a break, these problems will only be exacerbated .
AW fatigue is a massive issue you seem to be ignoring. I implore you to do something to change this season. Running the same season as Season 6 would be incredibly tone deaf.
If changing the off season time is impossible: try sending out a package of potions and boosts to everyone. This would help alleviate the cost of the early part of war. It may cost Kabam in the short term, but keeping people invested in AW is crucial for the game's continued success.

hey bro come join us! whats your line name?
Nah but on a serious note, youre 100% right. Two weeks would be better than 1, heck even longer. But alliance turnover is at an unprecedented rate and i hate to say it but AW seasons are killing the fun.
Best part about high alliance turnover and 1 week offseason combined, it burns the officers out who have to find and question multiple new players for their alliance because not having a full alliance ready for season 7 will leave you in a position wherein your alliance will likely fall apart. Leading to officers getting burnt out aswell, leaving remaining officers with a bigger workload...
Oh as a top 10 player i'm DYING to play another season for 25k t2a and 1/3 of t5.
Oh wait, gifting event netted 2 full t5 and 6 t2a. now that's easy, it's like you won season 4-5 times in a row.
10 months to correct the game for players to like it, 2 months to destroy what you built and go back 100 steps.
Noice.
Start whenever you want, half top tier is retiring, thanks to your smart way of dealing with things kabam, gg.
Man im gonna love the penalties for getting players in without time to check on them and performances, finding out later they mod or worse. 10+
The gap should be two weeks at least, if you're worried about tanking then just freeze the war ratings until next season...
You're ignoring the community and you can see its causing dissatisfaction... 1 week is not enough for alliances to prepare nor enough of a break to allow people to chill out or complete other content!
I understand wanting the break, and understand the burnout (pretty sure everyone secretly is done with aw) what I am wondering is what could be done to allow for loyalty collecting that doesn’t force seasons down everyone’s throat.
We get it, you're an amazing player who never makes mistakes.
I hope you enjoy always bringing a negative attitude and trying to belittle people while hiding behind an anonymous internet account.
I wouldn’t have to contradict (“be negative”) with parody and sarcasm if people’s complaints weren’t laced with so much hyperbole.
Projecting much?
Regardless, the current setup of AW with 1 week between isn't sustainable for many. We have a couple guys stepping out for personal matters (moving, life events, etc) and some old members returning, but very little time for changes to settle. Recruiting is a painful process and extremely time consuming for officers/leaders, not worth the hassle on top of other responsibilities.
Previously I voiced many concerns around War Seasons, balance and burnout.. which were "noted" but likely forgotten.
Highly competitive war seasons have destroyed many good aspects that alliances were built around. Full 30/30 participation, day on/day off, means if someone needs to take a few days off their only option IS to leave. Combine that with the "system gaming", matchmaking issues, resource use, and increasing amounts of time limited content to see there is just too much to balance in-game.
I highly doubt there are that many new players starting that Kabam would be okay churning long-time players, but that's what I've seen happening the past few months.
They’re lying when they say we’ll get 2 weeks back. We will never get 2 weeks back.

Everyone is not in agreement that the shorter break is essential. There are players saying they are indifferent to the shorter break and some even saying they prefer the shorter break. You aren't saying you want them to listen to the players, you are demanding that they listen to specific players, and ignore the others. Personally, I'd be happier with a longer break, but that doesn't mean the players that don't suddenly became invisible to me.
