As I said it happened to Brother over a year ago, and everyone seems to know at least one person who has lost out because of not having a PPT after an autoban reversal.

This has been a problem for a long time, and many have lost recources or planets because of it. It usually doesnt get much attention because it's only the person effected and his/her friends complaining. Hopefully this time if friends and enemies complain together it will get the proper attention.

Would a better solution be rather than PPT after auto-ban, leave the account frozen in limbo ( rank 0 ) until it is logged into ( Logging in to re-activate account ) ?

I see as well as the problem with these duals being lost from an 'unwanted' autoban, there is also the issue of people being accused of getting a deliberate autoban to protect stats when they cant PPT or vacation. Not sure how you fix that one.


This use / abuse of the autoban script seriously need looking into. Is there no way to prevent negative naq altogether, add an extra line of script that simply rounds up all negative values to zero and sends a 'red flag' to admin to look at later ?




As for compensation, Brother in FS had this problem over a year ago, he lost a dual that he actually paid for ( $50 ) and almost quit the game over it, he was never compensated and Im sure many others have taken similar losses without compensation so much as I dont like to see anyone friend or enemy lose out this way, it would not be fair to compensate someone now when so many have not been in the past.


As long as the current mechanics exist this can be exploited as a game tactic..personally I dont care who does it or for what reason.

All I am after is consistency on whatever happens.

If you want consistency then the only absolutely and totally fair way to handle it is no compensation at all. Jason should create a caveat that you play at your own risk.

Because even if there is consistency in compensation someone will find something else wrong instead.

I never understood why its so hard to set it up with an auto PPT, or better yet set it up so the accounts stays banned/ppted/untouchable until the first time the player logs in. Other games pull it off, I can't see why this one can't.

I agree, when you become unbanned you should be put into the untouchables and automatically become a beast... true story..

Well, now I know not not to invest any kind of money into the game because the game has built in scripts that will steal it more or less.

The 0-rank frozen in time is the best idea, because it stops losses you can't do anything about. And if people complain about losing resources, then they obviously don't log in enough. This is how most games operate and I have absolutely no idea why this one is any different.
