Proposal: Remove favor boosting for World Wonders. Replace boosting with the ability to loot "spoils" from an enemy city in order to boost your wonder production.
Reason: WW building is currently very "scripted". The optimal way to build world wonders is to click the favor boost button every 2 hours or so, and send resources as fast as possible when you can. This is not interesting or strategic and there are zero fun or interesting decisions to make as a player, it is a test to see who can log on and click the button the most. By adding an element of combat to building wonders, it actually becomes an interesting endgame to play.
Details: Spoils would only be looted from another alliance that has a wonder similar in level, to prevent "spoils farming" by looting spoils from second alliance branches or inactive players. For example, if you want to boost your level 8 wonder, you would need to loot spoils from a city in an alliance than has a level 7 wonder or higher.
Balance: World Wonders may need to require less resources to fill, since players would be using resources to build troops for combat in addition to filling wonders.
