Altering incomes is NOT a way to limit feeding. But the way it was laid out would have had the opposite effect.
Making more naq, so someone can only get 25% further ahead instead of 50% is silly. What do we do next wave? Same again, so they only get 15% ahead? Then again next era? It just ends up with rediculous figures without solving the problem.
If you want big numbers.. Just look at era 12.. And I know from experiance, when the numbers get too big, it breaks the game.
What we need is an actual way of limiting feeding, which I'm loath to say, I don't have. But using something like this and calling it a fix will not make the problem go away.
I've said plenty of times that it shouldnt be tolerated at all.
I've heard a few people say that 'feeding isnt really cheating, even admin says so'. Then I think back to when people accused Seijuro of cheating for farming 36trill, and it was investigated, and no cheating found. Does that mean he wasnt being fed, and not just by alliance mates, but by non-played accounts, or he actually was being fed illegitimately but it wasnt considered an exploit?
I cant say one way or the other that Seijuro was cheating. 36trill certainly is impressive, and if he wasnt being fed, then what good does feeding do anyway, because he beat all the competition by a mile and then some.
I would prefer not to see people banned, but I do want to see people play fair, and enjoy the competition between worthy opponents.
