I am NOT disadvantaged by doing that, it takes me far less time to farm naq than it does to raid. In fact i am kinda dreading when i do hit 150 mill because then i will have to start raiding again.
As i said i've made 50 mill UU's in the last month by BUYING THEM. And no i don't want the raiders to be slowed down or punished because a lot of the people i buy my UU's from are raiders, punish them and the prices for the UU's go up and i have to farm more naq to get the same number of UU's, lol.
You aren't because you ain't at 157mil yet...
150mil is way enough to raid, I didnt say raid limit < trade limit with trade limit being at 155mil...
As it's now, it's way more easy for a raider to recover from a war. A person at 185mil army, who's a trader and who gets lowered to let's say 172mil, will have way more difficulties than a raider would, I don't see why it should be so!
They would have exactly the same recovery chance Jim, lol, they just need to raid, if they can't be bothered then they have to recover with UP like everyone over the 200 mill cap currently have to. That however is a CHOICE they make, something that is entirely down to them and not something that should determine the rest of the game rules.
This isn't about whether you personally like raiding or not, it's about making the game more fun for all the players.
As i already said, if you lower the raiding cap to the same as the trading cap you just screw over the people trying to catch up the top accounts by an extra 50 mill UU's, because they are forced to rely on UP from 50 mill less. And lets face it people are never going to catch up if they have to rely on UP only from 150 mill, why? because they have to spend a fortune on UP and UP planets, and are already making at best 75% of the income someone at 200 mill army is making.
All that would happen is the game would polarise even more, players over 200 mill would be able to afford more UP and more planets facilities due to their already greater income when compared to those at 150 mill. Even now the top accounts have basically no reason to play the game, they can't buy resources and they can't raid, and stats at the top end are so insanely high that they can't even realistically farm due to the repair bills.
What the game needs is something for the top accounts to do, coz as it stands all they do is sell their naq for cash coz lets face it what's the point in getting more UP when the plague is already kicking you in the nuts?
The smaller players have all they need to catch up, at least to the 200 mill cap, it's not easy, it takes time and effort, but it's do-able if you work at it. As i say we just need something to stop the biggest accounts selling for cash and basically not playing the game due to a combination of really, really badly designed caps and stupid rules that penalise you for being the biggest/best.
