Delete Inactive Accounts [part 2]

there are way too many pointless accounts cluttering things up. i define pointless as them being inactive and not having a high enough UP or income to help smaller players grow through raiding/farming.

by deleting accounts over 3 months old with under 5k total army many useless accounts can be cleared away. this will get rid of accounts started by people who never returned after creating them.

i highly doubt anyone will have under 5k army after 3 months if they actually play the game. and if there are a few people who wish to return and continue its not at all hard for them to get past 5k.

all opinions welcome. cheers :-D

Re: Delete Inactive Accounts [part 2]

not deleting SS accounts is a good addition (im ss_liquid so i fear this 8) ).

i also wonder why people wouldnt want accounts 0-5k army deleted :?
accounts that size serve no purpose, unless i miss something?

i voted no, there is no interest of doing that.
i think they help lower people to enter G&R.
and raid will become too easy if we remove all account to low.

Re: Delete Inactive Accounts [part 2]

how would an inactive player with under 5k total army size help someone get into GnR? :? GnR range is a % of active players right. . .

this will have a a tiny, small, undersized, probably invisible effect on raiding. it wont mean people have to spy on less targets to check how much uu they have. you will still have to spy someone to check if its worth it. this doesnt change. no one sensible spies a 4k army player anyways. everyone raiding ignores these tiny accounts as they are of no use. deleting would take away the need to ignore these accounts.

Because they don't really understand the perameters to the idea.

1. "inactive" accounts are not counted figuring the G&R range
2. "inactive" accounts with tiny to no UP's are not valuable farms
3. "inactive" accounts with no/low miner counts are not valuable farms

We are basicly talking about getting rid of accounts that were activated and walked away from. Maybe played less then 1 month or so. Not accounts with healthy UP's and are good UU farms. Not accounts with health miner counts and therefore good naq farms.

As far as raiding goes, the rank limit is a joke and easily munipulated. I can go from first page down low enough to raid any account in the game in one turn so I really don't see how it will upset raiding. Concidering the amount of people that can no longer raid I really don't see the problem.

Re: Delete Inactive Accounts [part 2]

A polite reminder to everyone to use existing topics before new ones are created. There is already an active 'delete inactive accounts' topics and the points made here could easily have been added to that.

I will, however, allow this to run as the poll has an end date of Wednesday 30th April - I would've merged the topics, but I don't know what that would do to the respective polls.

Re: Delete Inactive Accounts [part 2]

yeh sry about that Wolf359. thought the poll in the original topic was to black and white. this poll gives ppl a bit more choice (i voted against my thoughts in the last poll due to lack of options. hopefully this may let some return to vote more specifically).

cheers :-D

What Lore said, and also don't forget the fact MORE of these are here, MORE it will be easy for scammers and cheaters to get away easily: NOONE checks after 60k ranks, as there is like 99% of totally unuselfull accounts to raid and farm, so they can send their cheated or scammed uu & naq to raid it back safely on these ranks. That's why I want to get rid of them.

why get hot and bothered over abandoned accounts? will they harm you? does it feel crowded with all those abandoned accounts crowding around?

also, why choose which accounts to delete? those abandoned accounts serve a purpose. just like the universe, the accounts are other planets where you can get resources. some have a lot, some have none. do you want to play god and get rid of all the planets that have next to nothing?
