To all cap complaints

I am reading allot of complaints about the Caps..

The original cap of 50 mil was introduced ages & ages ago when JUAN was dominating with his army, they where set for people to catch up and well... they did.

Now just a few quotes here:

Fact is they did catch up
Fact is the game has evolved a lot since the caps were put in place
Fact is the average army sizes are a lot bigger now

So yes, it must be frustrating as hell for someone like Corkscrew who already was at the limit when that update came out.

viewtopic.php?f=101&t=94517&p=1094414#p1094414

Now this is only an example..( maybe not the best but still ) not trying to aim at an certain person.

But what the hell ? make up your minds already! What do you guys want ?
The sgw economics have been changed by this update ( obviously ) but thats just part of the game and i am pretty sure once this massive raiding fest and the buying is over, prices will go to normal again whatever is called normal.

And then the raiding part, personally raiding was a great update for lower people to catch up at an good speed and it still is..
How boring would this game be if you only had UP to rely on, i see people writing: Oh lets remove in game market oh lets scrap raiding..

I ask you all, WHY This game would be dead if you only had UP to live on and perhaps buy some UU just amagin what the UU rate would be like then!
And still you have big players buying big amounts creating high prices

Personally i say even though sometimes i have to get used to it, updates are good.

Re: To all cap complaints

Problem of this community is that a lot of people do not really know what they want. Update was not released when they asked - people whine. Update they wanted was already released - they whine. People really, give admin a break.

Everyone knew the cap update was coming...

The problem is also trolls like you, and the lazy mods that do nothing to stop them, as well as alliances like DD that protect such members when they get what they deserve.

The main problem however is raiding, it has ruined the game (that along with the unlimited AT avalible)

I'll tell you what's main problem - whinners who complain all the time, no matter what's happening.

And as for raiding and AT's - it did not ruin the game, in fact the game would be so boring and slow if there was limit to AT's...

Yes, I did. That's why I can say that the game is better fun now. More dynamic, fast.

Well, I still stand for both of these statements. The caps were holding the big ones back and the smaller ones could catch up big time. So of course everyone thought the caps should be raised eventually. But look HOW it's been done now. It screws over the big players again because the new plague literally makes it impossible for them to grow. With the old cap all you needed was to make sure that your UP is higher than 100k a day and the rest was profit, now it's completely different. Ask one of the big ones how much they are losing.

So yes, the caps were unfair in the first place but looking at that update now, I'd rather take the old caps back.

Tok´ra, why don't you make your own game? I am sure your game would be exactly the way you liked, you could make your own rules and you would stop whinning... :)

And if actually some players would play your game, you'd see how great is to hear people just whine how crappy you are, despite of time you spent on making the game. A lot of people are unable to realize that admin cares for this game and constant whinning only decreases his motivation to do something for this community.

Re: To all cap complaints

Tok´ra, please make your own server and stop complaining here all the time... arguing with you about something is like talking to deaf ears sometimes. You can't blame people for being pissed off at you, as you always repeat your opinions without accepting someone elses' opinions.

You answered in your post to your question (bolded parts).
I invested zero € in Quantum, and in THIS wave, I'm doing well for someone who didn't have YET a SINGLE PPT (yep ME withOUT a ppt!)
