For the sake of the argument what would you do knowing that that person is Raven, FINBit, SG7rex, Vander or Veri? What would you do in the last few days differently? Would you attack his well-guarded homeworld? Would you start destroying his outposts, or trading routs? If you are economically weak you stand no chance. If you are powerful the war is not always the best option...
Exactly, which is why I'm starting to realize this game is way too half-baked to be fixed any time soon. I think I'm done for now.

And again, your experience means nothing to me. You've said you play 10 hours a day. I am NEVER going to play 10 hours a day. I only had any interaction with one or two other people on Aruru, all in my home sector, and I was playing some amount every day. So you tell me, how should I "know it well?"

The way the game is designed right now, it caters completely to the handful of obsessive players who are willing to play hours a day. I guess you guys find that kind of thing fun, sending out streams of colony ships as fast as possible, managing hundreds of planets, etc. I don't think that's fun. It's hardly even a game! It's just a race based on who is willing to be the most obsessive about it. If you don't play that way, you either quietly lose when one of these guys hits the win condition, or you get knocked out if some nerd-level player targets you (which just happened to me on Ningal). Either way, you have NOTHING to show for literally weeks of babysitting your empire.

I wish you would stop posting all your personal experiences as if they are representative. For every one person who plays like you, there are probably dozens that play like me, and we end up with squat, or just as fodder for some guy who is taking days off from work to move ships around. I'm just telling you, it's stupid, and lots of players will leave because of this.

I understand that you think the person who is most obsessive should win, and that's fine. The problem is, if this were some other MMO, I wouldn't care if you are spending hours of your day playing, because it wouldn't really effect me. But this is purely a PVP game. When people are playing like you, it is shutting out players like me, and it's annoying.

And maybe this is the expected way to play, but hell, this is an iPhone game! Nobody is going to come in to this expecting to have to spend every free second of their day managing their outpost ships.
