so i was in chat with another player,seems like a top 3 ranked player sent 40k bc at a player that just hit 100k points and had only around 5 rips,hmm now im not a math whizz but im sure the player with 40k bc took a hit on deut and made no profit,another case is the number 1 player (i think,i dont check ranks) started popping moons of a player with around 35k fleet points....now if u look at the rankings list the lowest player on the first page of fleet ranking,ranked number 30 has a 50k fleet sitting.....so out of 30 fleets bigger y do the top continuly hit players so far below that it only makes the game ....un fun to enjoy...now i know some of u say o ur mad u lost ur fleet,but i have not lost my fleet i got a healthy fleet,i dident get attacked,im tired of seeing the ppl freash out of player protection hit by the top ranked players,now y do they do it?idk maybe cause they are to scared to hunt other top fleeters so they all join into 1 allaince so the know none can hunt them and proced to hunt ppl with over 100 times less points (yes do the math),or just throwing this out here...they feel a sense of happiness by pounding ppl they know cant defend agianst them(even the whole allaince of said players together couldent ninja them with acs defend) so after some talk on chat a few players thought instead of noob protection zorg should make it where u can only attack players on the same overall rank page as you,this would serve as a full protection mode,and allow players to actully climb the rankings and have fun,and it would force the top players to battle it out sometimes,the only reason the top players are growing so big is because zorg allows them too,the join into the same allaince so noone can hurt them and the only ones that can hunt them wont because they work together...its a case of the rich get richer and the poor get poor,and u can say u can get to the top if u try,well not when as today we hit 100k and less then a hr ltr we have 40kbc coming at us,hell 50k of those points are building...anyway let me know what u think...i beat all the ppl in the same allaince will not like this idea ....o p.s when was the last time two top 3 players had a c.b report from attacking 1 on 1? not a acs cb etheir....leave ur thoughts about this,maybe zorg will listen if we get enuf ppl to prove we are tired of getting bullied


gozar has 1100 rips headed at me,i have less then 20k fleet points what profit will he get? see this stuff is just ruining the fun for us,zorg plz listen to us

Getting bullied is a part of the game. Trust me, aside from maybe Kron, I don't think anybody has lost more moons than I have. If you are a profit or a possibility of one, you will get hit or attempted at. It is the nature of the game. As for the player in your alliance that I launched at earlier, he had a fleet sitting dude, seriously, the top players would not be the top players if they wasted deut on people not attempting a profit. As for attacking high ranked players, I have attacked someone with more points then me almost every day I have ever played, whether successfully (like earlier today), or not (like those RIPs I lost on Ista's doorstep a few weeks back). And there has not been a top three combat in a while because the top three are in the same alliance, when was the last time you attacked an alliance mate aside from moonshots? Really, its a war game for entertainment and growing your empire. You grow through attacks. All you seem to want here is a "bunny server".

Points
Buildings : 32.583 | Fleet : 36.181 | Research : 13.338 | Defense: 18.661
Total: 103.763


what profit can the number one player in the game get from me?look at my points......now go look at rankings its 100 ppl with more fleet then me,so y does he feel ill make a good profit for him....its cause i cant stop him...what REALLY will he gain from me,he makes more in one hr then he will get from the df...all it does is make me wont quit..and funny u should say i wont a bunny server, that coming from a guy who joins a allaince just to be safe,u play in a bunny allaince,yes this is a empire building game so y cant the number 1 player let me build a empire..??

36k fleet looks good enough for me to launch, can't speak for anyone else though...

Have to agree with Kick's post. Profit is profit, simple as.

Just so you know though, someone with 100k points is just as capable of keeping their stuff alive as someone with 100 million points. Same mechanics, lower scale, don't see how the top guy attacking a 100k player makes any difference at all, or is there something I've never heard of that lets a player with higher points do a better fleetsave than someone with lower points?

People will hit you regardless, more so if they don't like you.

There are plenty of people with fleets outside of the top 3 you know, if you see stuff coming at you shoot someone a PM and arrange a ninja, or you could just sit there and take it then moan on the forums, which is more exciting?

Especially a nice slow RIP attack, that's just asking to be ninja'd, why don't you take the initiative instead of complain? Even if you don't know anyone with a big enough fleet, send someone a PM who does, then get them to ask someone else.. etc etc.. It's like the incident Kick spoke of, I saw them flying at me, PM'd a mate to arrange a ninja, he couldn't make it, got one of his friends that I never even talk to to do it instead.

Initiative dude, use it.

idc ima perma v mode today,this game is so unbalanced its not fun unless ur under 100k,at least then u have a chance,well i quess,i guess ill send my rubies to my allaince mates...ltr ppl gl to those under 100k dont rush to leave it

See you in a few weeks when you come back once again.

yes i blame myself for going over 100k lol ur funny,anyway how come only 3 ppl replied agiasnt it and 2 of them are gozars allaince mates seems like always huh,and when i stated i was going to v mode,kick sent 1 rip at me on a 72 hr mission attack to pravent me from v modeing,hows that a profit lol,u guys grow some balls and go free for all and stop sheilding each other,and u stay in v mode .....

Might have to move this to the UoH if the flaming carries on (hint hint)

On topic: considering the fact it's only been two hours since you started this topic, I don't think the number of replies has any bearing on what you believe to be the issues here. And you might want to look up the word "hypocrite" because you tell them to "grow some balls" and yet you're the one who's going into VM.

I'll go ahead and agree with Istal as well and say that you are perfectly able to protect your valuables in this game. The reason they are the top players is because they've already done that. There are plenty of posts in the forums explaining how to correctly FS while pretty much never losing your entire fleet. Most of these posts are, in fact, by these top people. I can tell you for a fact that they would much rather chase big guys who can pack a punch (like Kron, for example) than hit those just out of protection. But in the end it comes down to profit. If you're profitable, they'll hit you, whether you have 100,001 points or 100 times that.

Also, you really can't hold it against them for being in the same alliance. People have cried on the forums about this since way back in the days of ~V~, yet it never changes because the best are drawn toward each other. There are exceptions of course (Kron makes another good example), but generally it's what happens. I'm betting you wouldn't have turned down an invitation to join I.B. anyway, so you can hardly blame those in it.
