2-3 hits in 3 to 6 days is farming in my opinion ,

but i have being known to mass 1.9 mil super defenders and there weapens to kingdom come for a 59 bil naq hit on me ( and deascendid the guy aswell ) take out 80% of his spy's and not feel bad about it.

I have lerned a good lesson in the CIA / COP war , i dont really care for my soldiers anymore , its simple , you attack me i hit back , i dont farm / raid active accounts ( unless you have a stupid amount of UU open and a crappy defence )

You leave me alone i leave you alone , i dont need farming my income / turn is all i need.

As always , greets Draleg.

i would say 3 hits in a day other than that no, if they r making so much per turn then they should get a better defence

ok im my opinion

One Hit is just an attack

2-3 Hits over a few weeks just random attacks, annoying but not quite farming

2-3 hits in a couple of days farming

Several hits in 1 day severe farming bordering on massing

Lots of hits in a single turn massing

sometimes the best defence is a good offence , i know the guy wont be attacking me anymore , it will cost him more than 59 bil to get back wat he lost ( and i did give him a chance to pay the 59 bil back and not charge for the damadge or soldiers lost )

still though if u only have a 30 bil strike and r farming for say 1,5 bil like i did, if i end up hitting them a lot of times, it works out the they r making to much for a defence they have

and i dont think i ever heard a complaint from you when i borderline was farming you

My view is, 3 hits in 5 days- or more in a week is farming.
I try to avoid hitting the same people over and over but i cant remember 100s of names so on occassion i do go over that.

It does drive me crazy when i hit someone once and they moan "stop farming me". 1 time = naq hit, 2 times = they shouldnt leave such naq (shame on them) out 3 times = farming (shame on me)

Dependant on the message i get before 3 hits, depends on my responce though. a polite message often gets their way, a rude one just gets them further farmed... or worse.

I know what you mean Chris,yeah i too get messages stop farming me after one naq hit.

I consider more than 3 hits in 5 days as a framing,in the rest two days if my officer is hit by the person again and ym warnings doesnt work if possible i pay hm a visit,truly i dont like attacking people when they hit my officers but if he doesnt understand that i dont like to see him in my logs i retaliate or simply occasionally hit his officers for naq.

People should really increase their def,me including lol but i ascended few days ago so..... :-D :-D :-D

I will give someone a chance to return the naq before I mass them after one hit, put it that way.

Maybe it was a message to ask you to stop before you start?

I bet after you cant find no 1 else to attack you check your attack logs for people whpo you farmed and wll farm them again if they have more NAQ out.. I would, I'd send you a message saying: stop farming my officer before you start or something

I would say 2-3 in a week. I have sent messages to people that attack my officers but only when they ask me too.

In the past I have had some whiney officers LOL.

Otherwise when I check my officers logs I only comment when 2-3 hits in a week.

yea this new quick buttons means i often hit the officers of the same people by mistake, or officers of friends. if that happens, i just set total peace or something.

if it happens to me and my officers, i send a message first letting them know the situation. i would like to have the same curtosy when i do that.

if i got a problem with them, i dont go through officers because its not their fault. i will only do that if im getting overly trigger happy and the commander is unwilling to play.
