You all make some very good points - and all seem to agree that some accounts are swapped far too often. Like I said I'd rather they weren't swapped at all. Why not just build up from the start? The early days ae actually good fun. Ppl don't like to see a good acct go to waste, but being a great farm is not a waste, and it doesn't really help a noob to be given a big acct when they don't understand how to play yet.
Big +1 on Sprog's point about getting hold of several accts and retiring them into yours. Raises whole issue of retirement crashes. The old acct might be banned but the recipient is not. Why? And what is the point of a milking rule if this is allowed? And doesn't the whole issue go against the logic of the milking rule - what is the difference between milking e.g player hands you res every week, or building a big fleet and then handing it to the other player after several weeks? That seems to me logically the the same thing.
- Perhaps Zorg could provide clearer guidance of what we SHOULD do when we quit, and make it clear that if u crash your fleet to feed another player, he could be banned.
@Alduin... LOL! Nvr mind about Elite recyclers. Just get your calculator out and use x1000 normal ones like the rest of us. What is so hard about dividing the size of your df by 20,000? lol
