In the middle of the fight if one or two mages from the ally go inside (which means the defending clan has opened the gate for them ) they just call party and they are inside defending all toogether then  its  not csw anymore its nation fight.For months the nation with the most people had been defending the castle fighting againgst one and only clan.The situation has changed last 2-3 weeks since orc side finally balanced the population and now its quite balanced(I repeat last 2-3weeks) But its still a nation fight every individual clan should have the chance to win and compete. We have so many videos of castle transfering last 10 minutes or last 15 minutes or whenever things were getting hard or about to lose they just kept people in the crystal ready to take it before they lose it. As OsmanAmca said even if we remove the ability for the defending clan to close and open gates there  is still going to be the same, eventually the main gate will die quick and someone from the ally will eventually regroup inside so its just going to be the same outcome , im talking for both nations so I dont get misunderstood. If you would ask me for a suggestion I dont really have one I dont think its a management problem. 

At what point during the CSW do allies enter the castle? What if the gates continue to respawn open by default, allow the holders to close them, but prevent them from reopening the gates during CSW?

There may be additional material, I can't think of anything, you are the boss.

Just because its the same doesnt mean it wont change. Ive never seen a fully debuffed rogue tank and kill 3 warriors and 1 rogue before. Let alone tanking, I wouldd never seen them kill two and escape. I would never seen a fully debuffed mage tank 2 rogues either. Nothing stays the same as 25 years ago. This quote sums it all up: "It's a clear official flaw."   Greetings and best regards, goodluck, have fun. 

u said "The problem is, imagine everyone having an unlimited number of these huge items in their inventory. Under these circumstances, what will the state of the game be? Who will enjoy PvP? Who will participate in PvP?" You're talking about a scenario like that; if something like that hasn't happened in 25 years, it won't happen in the future either, that's what I mean
