yes i do remember those days, i actually didn't join a legion until i was rank 67, not that you would know that

i never had an issue with upkeep, because i'm not a moron that installs every $%&% thing they can, i understand the means of financial matters, unlike the fecal matter in your legion who call themselves officers and leaders.... 5 builders really? tell those idiots to sell of their heavy qse's and their best defense gear for some cheaper but just as efficient gear and they maybe they can all change to fixer to set a good example, or switch to an actual profession that is at least beneficial in some manner.

how have you taught them to survive on their own? your own legionmate posted that the bases dying is affecting their legions ability to grow and cited bases dying as a premier factor of legions disbanding.

how can legions disbanding over base disables be a sign that people can bring in their own arti/mineral/research?

here at eots we do a lot more than you ever will for this game in your legion of 30, we teach players how to make their own planets whilst giving them a leg up - we teach them how to protect their planets so they can't be stolen by someone who has played for 2 weeks

you're so good at this game that your Stormkyn Alliance leadership stuck you in their shittiest sub legion just so they wouldn't have to deal with you teaching your ways to their new recruits

how does it feel to know that someone who has played this game for a year less than you has a ship with the same strength as everyone in your legion combined... and has more hull on their ship than your base does?

If you were to reset this game, 99% of players that have ever spent cash on it would quit, straight up, because the choice is out of their hands, and as such it's like buying a game(or into one) and then having to return that game whenever the seller asks, with no refunds on the DLC purchased or the original purchase itself.

There is a difference between:

1) taking someone in, watching them so they dont quit, but letting them handle themselves and learn from their mistakes, then explain why if they dont understand how its wrong. This is what you seem to be doing.

2) Giving newbies all the shiny toys without teaching them how to use them and just let them suck stuff up without really understanding the game. This is what you seem to be claiming EotS does to new members.

3) Giving newbies shiny toys to show the possible rewards that can be reaped in the game, teaching them how to make stuff like that on their own and passing on the knowledge on the fastest way to get there. Stop them from making mistakes if possible and give experience advice to prove why. This is what EotS (and any competitive legion) does and what you don't seem to get.

the planet count was just doubled in the last couple of months. If you can't find any "decent" planets then that is why, not because they are all controlled by the top 500 players. I know I have never found a "decent" which was unoccupied with over 30k scans. I've made the vast majority of my decent planets. You can too if you NPC alot.



New players aren't meant to compete with the likes of those in the top. Which is why those in the top can't see them. However they can help them achieve a better ship with all they have learned in the years they have played.



See above. New players aren't meant to compete with the top players. No game is like that.



I have always found it amusing to see new players whine about trying to participate in content meant for higher rank players. That content is difficult for a reason. New players should stick with the content they have just like we had when we started.



I've seen games do this. Every time they do they end up with about 20 percent of their old player base. Nearly all of the older players would either become very powerful when the newly reset game started or would just quit.



there is plenty of content for lower ranked players. If anything there needs to be more content for the higher ranked players as they more and more frequently exceed 2k.



what is the point of a player cap? if a player gets tired of where they are they can reset.



People quite for all kinds of reasons. But you can just about guarantee a 50 percent or more loss from a reset of the game. More players come from people helping the new ones out. Which I believe that the vast majority of those who participate in the chat have get lots of help. It is how to get them to participate in the chat so that they can learn how to play. If you have been helping then you would know this.

I can assure you that I wouldn't be back if I were forced to reset and I consider myself a really active player who just "learned" how to play in the last year and half. I have done quite a bit to help others understand what I have come to realize. But you just can't beat a dead horse. They have to want to learn and play. If not, they become inactive and quit.

A game reset is a really bad idea.

I think this had gone on long enough.
