Spoken like the a true, never employed, societal leech. If you've ever had a job, you would know.
1. You don't get to play games while you're there ... not even for 30 seconds (and there's no way you can collect everything in 30 seconds anyways - the animation delays take longer than that).
2. Jobs last more than < 1, 1, 4, or 8 hours, which is the range of collection duration on virtually everything in the game.
Spoken like an incredibly presumptuous, arrogant fool who makes absurd statements based on false premises.
1. If you work in the United States, you are legally guaranteed break periods. I like to check my city on my lunch break (if you absolutely must know, I'm a motorcycle mechanic and yes I am employed full-time; except for a couple months in school I've been employed at least part-time since I was 14).
2. Getting back on-topic, virtually every building in the game has a 24 hour production option. Every production and goods building does, and almost all GB collections are on 24 hour timers, so...fail (though admittedly GBs can't be plundered anyway). The only thing that you can't really control are residential and that's just coins.
No, it's like saying thousands and thousands of games have been written over time, and wise people have learned from the successes and the failures. As a result, good games have certain things in common, and bad games have certain things in common. Plundering is a feature lifted from bad games. Many games had similar features and deleted the feature because all the customers hated them.
If you don't like a feature in a game, tell the company. They can't fix it if they don't know you don't like it.
Yeah, no one's ever registered a complaint about plundering hurting their feelings, being unfair, being mean, etc. You have truly broken new ground and made a remarkable discovery. I'm sure Inno will cut you a slice of the game profits for alerting them to this previously-unknown situation. Must be why the company only makes ~$180,000,000 a year.
Seriously dude, chill out. If you want to have an honest and civil discussion about plundering, possible strategies to defeat your plunderer, strategies to avoid it, etc. there are a lot of good, experienced players here who would be happy to have a reasonable dialogue with you. If you're just going to scream about a game feature that has always been there and in all likelihood always will be while launching insulting personal attacks, that's not what the forum is for. If your self-control is so poor you simply must delve into such invective, do it in a direct-message conversation rather than clogging up the thread with such nonsense.
