Farming is unprofitable

[Pungemo]

I deal with everything like an adult, but I'll humour you, mr. "high and mighty"

As evidenced by name calling If you want to keep embarassing yourself create a thread for it. I'll no longer be posting on this matter in this thread.

Farming has become unprofitable.

The losses are way too great. I admit I may not be the best at farming, but when you hit someone your losses are stupid high, and everyone's got bigger defences now.
Sure, I can build a bigger defense, but then I theres no profit to be made. And then the caps get increased and people say well get back to raiding, sure, but with what AT and what naq? Naq buys AT and UU.

I live solely off my own income.

Farming you is profitable

Also Pung said hes gonna come outta perg and Hak and their alliance can kiss goodbye to defence and spies.

Well, empires make for a very boring game. Empires protect their already strong members to such an extent that their members have no real competition, and when they do, they avoid it, because they don't want major wars. Omega and DD, anyone? They aren't part of the same Empire, anymore, but they refuse to have an all out war? Why? I don't know, but it's supposed to be a war game, and they're worthy competitors.

Basically, this means that not many people can compete, and the ones who can don't. The ones who can't compete simply get destroyed if they try anything or get bored if they don't. The empires were already bored a long time ago because of the lack of competition. Stargate Boredom.

Agreed!

Most funny things that exist for a very long time in sgw are (examples):
_Hey what the hell I farmed you for 15bil naq on your 300bil def with my 315bil strike made by 50% of attack planets and 25% of my enormous Mothership and you farm me back today for 60bil naq on my 105bil def? Are you crazy??? Do you even know what's a worth farming hit? You are so massed and sat on until you quit!
_We farm you every time we can nomatter if we don't do profit off it, all that since xx monthes ago, and here I see a member attacking us for big amount of naq on very poorly defended account, which is out of any wars/vendettas, we declare war on your alliance for that. You'll repay us 15x losses of the account on for each of our members.

Those two examples (abit exagerated I know but that's for showing how it would be in 2008) are the reason the game becomes boring for many people, either they stat build def and covert wayyyy to much for their account (10mil army size approx and almost 3/4 in def/covert) so they get high rank and make almost no naq so no farming on them, or they simply quit the game because now when you are not on "protected alliance", a single naq hit could cause an all out war on your alliances on all servers and all officers, friends, family, neighbours etc involved in the massing too!

The ones who made my examples just do it (I guess) because rest of the game is doing pure stat building and don't want a war at any way (they surely weren't on CIA vs CoPs or surely tried to go off it sooner than most of us who stood until the end), while it's sgWARS...
So everyone is guilty.

True, but it depends on who you hit

[Thelen]

I'll give 35 mil uu (all I have at the moment), to the player(s) that reduces DD and Omega to below 20 tril power each.

Infact, if someone can supply naq (cos I got none), then they can have my account to do it with. I'd suggest you sell the 10 UP planets, and get ATK planets instead though, so you got more strike >_>

[Pungemo]

You just tagged your own account for destruction. I'm sure someone would take you up on it if they could though.

ON topic;

farming is profitable... just gotta spend time looking for good targets.
i only have a 150 B strike which doesn't create VERY good targets but still if i see 10B naq out and i can break the defense i take it.
of course now i'm in perg and i'm getting 30-40B with the same strike.

i like to farm since it creates a fast result (i like naq), so i'll probably triple my strike after my next ascension.

(never had much problems with ppl threatening me,... but i do steer away from known names, alliances, ppl with twice my army size..

[Pungemo]

I farm whoever. Sometimes it leads to trouble, but I usually talk my way out of it. Got massed alot, but seeing as that didn't stop me from farming they just gave up on that idea. Make 100bil+ a hit now.

I got 3.3tril on 1200 AT's. If that's not profit, I'm selling AT's.

Seriously though I think it would take more than that to reduce them in power that much.
