I get plundering is part of the game. My question: Why are players allowed to build Great Buildings beyond their age?
Everything in game is linked to the age (maps, buildings, diamond expansions, etc.) – everything that is EXCEPT Great Buildings. This gives players who ‘park’ in an age an unfair advantage. And in my opinion – it undermines one of the games main attractions. (This is supposed to be a strategy game. What kind of strategy is it to park and plunder with a superior advantage?)
First – I do not believe it should be allowed.
Second – If allowed, at least restrict it to one age above or at a minimum place some in-game restrictions on those who abuse the spirit of the game.
Additional Info:
I have seen many players leave the game because of this type of abuse. Less players – less purchases. I also suspect ‘parked’ players make few if any in game purchases. Why should they? They have no incentive. That in itself should be enough motivation for the game developers to do something.
I play in 3 worlds. Currently in HMA. In every world I have at least 1 player who has ‘parked’ in that age. Some as high as 1.2 million points. In HMA, really! They do nothing but build Great Buildings and plunder. They put no effort into developing any other part of the game. They max out Military bonuses – so there is no way you can defend or attack back in kind if so inclined. A sense of fairness is fundamental to sustaining continued game play. Make game play futile - or even give the impression - people quit.
