The way GGS says it it's like don't fight against BULLLIES, just hide and we will keeping giving them more power.
Every time you open gates it costs more to open them again if you do not meet the GGE cooldown time. Only goes back to the low cost if you wait a good amount of time.
So if you open on day 1 to avoid attacks it is say 400 rubies for 6 hours.
So then they decide to attack you again the next morning about 12-16 hours later, well then it is say 800 rubies as you did it less than a day ago.
Then they go after you again the next day and it will be even more rubies as you have not met the cooldown time again to reset.
So for any f2P and low spenders your open gates are not a answer that is workable on this. The only play if you got the rubies is going under long term bird for 2 months for a break or just quit which is what is happening more and more.
There are jerks on US1 server like other servers and they will just keep going after you. We have seen it time and time again and that is why alot are under the long term (2 months) bird on US1.
Of course these players will avoid at all costs going after like players or strong players as they would lose a fair amount of time and they just want to get that ego boost saying look I beat you bad...
FYI, these are all things I have been told when I asked them to look into the current imbalance and problems.
But knowing GGE they will just let it sit as long as the big spenders $$ keep coming in from these jerks.
I know and others here know you are limited on what you can push for and of course you got no say in what really gets done at GGE headquarters.
The only solution I see is to set a Might Point limit so you cannot have a MP 22 Million player keep going after ones that have only 1 Million or 2 million.
I would say a 10 million range would be a good place to start. So that player that buys alot of troops or wins them via the WoA would only be able to go after semi like players within that 10 million range below them. But they could still go and attack players above them unlimited. So they could still go after a player of say 38 million MP.
Of course they could work around this by just buying enough to meet the limit but at least it may stop some or make the Jerks work a bit harder to do this.
Yes it is also possible to do this limiting as they already have this in place for some events.
I do understand about not removing the requirement for rubies on birding and such as that would make it to easy as you say. That is not the answer either.
The answer as been mentioned before in other posts by players is to limit the might point difference in attacks. That is why I am saying 10 million as that would give that 22 million player a wide range of anyone 12 million + points.
Just a FYI Poseidon X we had a player do the long term 2 month bird. They waited till he was off bird and in the time when he could not do another bird right away. They hit him with over 30 super commander attacks. So his only option was to quit which he did. He was a good player and did nothing to deserve this. So even the long term bird will not stop them always.
Yes he had a FC also but who wants to be hit non stop like this. How is a player to do anything really.
In my opinion, it's no longer a war game.
It has become a farm game: big spenders farming small spenders and non-spenders, leaving the latter just two options: accept the fires or quit the game. I see more and more players going for the second option.
If it were still a war game, big spenders would attack each other.
No blame on you @Poseidon X Angel, being sandwiched between GGS and the players there isn't much you can do. You already do the best you can.
In the past there used to be direct communication (at least for a short while) between the developers and the players, but in recent years it seems the developers no longer have the courage to do so (or the permission, in which case the lack of courage moves further up in the GGS hierarchy).

The examples on here are bad enough when concidering atacks on your main castles, but what happens when these attacks are directed at players Ops with the real aim being to cap /steal those ops. If those war mongers, etc,etc, want your built op, that cost you real money to build up, then you have little to no chance of preventing that either short term if you don't defend, or long term if you try to, and fail.
The imbalances in the game do not favour those that try to protect a built up Op, and GGE know that, and use it, which is why they wont stop it happening. Its money, money, money to them, and with little hassle. I do think that new players should be made more aware of this fact in the game as many moan and leave when it happens, but as we all know its another issue that will be ignored.
