can we stop referring to grabbing to 50k+ acres as skill. Its mainly dedication/ability to be online alot at random times. If thats skill then...

How are we defining skill then? As teching 78 turns a day?

lol Bobby... You're inviting lots of people to mock you there...

If that's not skill, then why haven't I seen a single express country over 50k... same thing with no primary country over 100k, and so on . . . .

Too shallow.

Lol skill is getting the land and keep it, on servers with tags you don't need a whole lot of still, you need land farms and be a member of a big enough clan.

Honestly talking about skill outside of tourney/primary and express is silly.

Express is only about 1800 turns, thats why there's no 50k acre countries there. Primary is also much fewer turns than alliance/ffa, if I remember right, its about 3200. And alliance/ffa are like 4800 turns.

That reply was in response of BobbyATA's comment, Rockman - since he thinks grabbing is only "dedication/ability to be online a lot at random times".

Anyone who have played all the servers would agree that grabbing and keeping the land you've grabbed is a complex skill to master. Different servers - different characteristics. If you haven't - please try playing all the servers first before commenting further.

And back to topic - why would you weaken the ones able to grab better than the others? Because grabbing is not a skill, or because grabbing is bad for the game?

agree with diez 100%, grabbing is the reason why this game is just as much art as science.

grabbing on other servers is skill diez. In alliance its simply a matter of being online more than other people.

im going to go out on a limb and predict most of the t10 in alliance this reset will be demo public destockers and not theo pm destockers (and mostly they are going techers).

like i said, they are already better than "superfat casher/farmer", so really a nerf on PM regen is stupid
