I don't mind them. 2+ set long wars that arent close and blowout wins/losses still rank below arranged wars on fun factor for me. I do love a war where someone gets blindsided but hangs in there and makes the war close or wins best, but I definitely do not prefer blindside easy wins to close arranged wars, and the last two sof sets i would have preferred arranged war to a long grudge war blowout. Easily. People who dislike arrangement generally either like pissing people off OR lose close wars (ie, needing the fs to win or even be close. Inferior players need the advantage of a grudge war to be competitive. Good players can thrive in arranged wars by showcasing their skills).
That's just absurd. Grudge wars are wars that happen for a reason. Arranged wars are people that want to war for the sake of warring. It says nothing about skill what war you participate in, only motivation. Arranged wars are stupid and boring to a lot of people. I personally almost never set highlights in an arranged war because there's absolutely no reason to put effort into getting your rocks off for 15 seconds a day. Grudge wars are different because you're making a larger point. Ie. Don't fluff with us. In my experience, arranged wars always have lots more people like me that put in minimal effort because who cares about an arranged war. Motivation impacts the quality of wars. No motivation = less effort across the board. The only reason grudge wars might be worse is if one side does not read the political situation correctly and gets blindsided and killed easily like you said. But usually when you fluff with someone enough, you should know what's coming and if you don't that's no one's fault but your own. The war last set wasn't bad quality compared to some of the previous arranged wars on 1a. If you removed the restart bonus so it didn't last 50 days, no one would be complaining about quality.

If you give a man some fire, he'll be warm for awhile. If you set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
