Is it because alot of big players are in CoP?
I do not consider myself as "a bigger player", but those who are there deserve to be there. The growth curve is AMAZING compaired to what it was a year ago.. yep ppl still complain, whine, and moan. Why is this? If you played a game a year longer than those who haven't played for very long, OF COURSE you're not going to be as powerful! DUH!
All I see this as a game about limits. (100mil army cap, plague, now ascended UP cap)
I welcome you to... SGW! The game of limits! Where when you become big, your power to grow is taken away!

I guess its just a comparison. Its "easier" to grow when you already have a decent army size for far less effort (big UP, UP planets, buying uu directly before you reach 50 mil). I.e. you don't have to work for that growth, which will annoy "new" people who do work for it. You raid 1 million uu in a day, and someone does the same for doing jack all, through UP and buying uu from the market. That's one reason why people whine. If you don't raid, and still whine, then STHU
I don't doubt CoP being "big" has something to do with it. I'd imagine lots of people are annoyed with the stagnation at the top with the top 3 alliances allied to each other, and it will inevitably comes out as a whining about the easier growth.
And the caps are there to give people who are no where near the caps (i.e. small players), but have the activity to do something about it, a reason to keep playing and be active. Anyway, its not likely all your income dissappears when you get to 100 mil, you can then help build other people up.
Imo, its not a problem with the game and limits, its a problem with the attitude of the community/alliances. Need to start warring for strategic reasons, to improve there position (rank/power), and keep coalitions and blocks fluid... Anything to bring political manipulation into wars so that the most powerful don't always come out on top...
