Threads like 1.9

While I agree with the explanatory points of ebe's post, I disagree strongly that it's "one of the main parts" of FoE. They are a player-created construct. An efficient one, particularly for mid-progression players, but hardly necessary.

Low progression players can try to pickup cheap low spots in them to get the prints needed to level GBs they want to. But they can just as easily visit neighbors for that as well. Their GBs are not yet at the point where there's much to save from 1.9 - they'll be paying for most of their level one way or another.

Mid progression players that have buildings to take through the "sweet spot" can get nearly-free levels at no cost (or even mild profit) for their assistance. It can be a big pick-me-up to advance their game.

High progression players make so many FP now that they hardly need to worry about others putting FP on their GBs. Also their GBs of interest require so many FP compared to the amount they pay out that, like the low progression players, they only experience a small relative savings. They may continue to use 1.9+ threads out of habit or for social reasons, but sometimes they can get to be more nuisance than they're worth otherwise. When even a first place is a fraction of a day's FP, calculating things out and copy and pasting and all that jazz, nah. I'll often hope to be sniped and if it comes to it, level it with no donors ;)
