I call out that the only one to blame is the one who gets plundered. That is simply not true. the "plunderer" still steals stuff from other players. Sorry, if you don't like if I say that. That was my last post here, open a new one if you want to discuss this. I don't want to further hijack a thread.
You can steal bases in baseball, and while it's called 'stealing', it's a perfectly legitimate strategy. If a team can't defend against it, that's too damn bad, and it's all their fault. Plundering is the same thing in this game. I don't plunder, but it's an individual choice, and it's not some kind of cheat. I agree that it can be frustrating to keep getting plundered, but it's still not a cheat. It's as much a part of the game as Great Buildings.
Speaking of which, more often than not I will check the guy in first place...if he or she needs the BPs, I'll leave them in first place. Otherwise, the only GB-related 'crime' is levelling somebody else's. Unfortunately I seem to be seeing a lot more of that lately. Guilds need to do a better job of informing noobs of the concept of double-dipping.
