    It is true that not everyone can be at the top. If they were, then it wouldn't be the top, it would be the average. Players will always stratify themselves based on willingness to invest time, money, research, etc. It is not our job to equalize things, but to make sure there is a level playing field.

    Dawn, you just answer on side issues when they make your side of the medal look good. Can you please answer, why should a server with 20 power players earn 5M coins per player whereas another server with only 1 power player earns the guy 100M coins? Is this how the cap is intended to work? If not, should it be revised?

    There is multiple things at play with your example.

    The fact that there is 1 player on a dead server and a dead realm racking up massive coins is a problem, but the solution may not be so cut and dry. A server merger was supposed to level out these pockets of servers where there was such parity. I still believe an effective server merger strategy will fix these kinds of issues.

    On the other end however, by lifting the cap on banish to give significant more coins, I do not believe is the solution. right now, the Dev team put a cap because they know things we probably do not know as far as the limits of this game.

    But how are server mergers supposed to help servers that get 5M coins per player? This only forces players to move to a new server to create a dead realm for themselves, thereby perpetuating the problem.

    When you merge servers, more players are in the same realms thus the distribution of coins are also spread out. The point is not to increase coinage per player, but to level out the playing field by merging servers so there is more players per realm. Thus eliminating a single player dominating banish on any given server.

    Great then you agree something needs done to change banish to level the playing field? Banish makes the playing field very unlevel in its current form.

    And riot for something that is going no where and you think should be closed, you make a lot of posts here.

    And if you didnt see my example actually shows I wold get no more from the change then I do now. My idea levels the playing field across realms and servers

    I've been reading this thread and the only thing about banish in its current form that makes the playing field unfair is that the top players are well on top. Across realms I kinda get the argument. As for across servers, well I haven't played any games that made things equal across all (or at least most of) the servers. At the start, they are all equal, then it is largely up to the players to set the pace and the devs can make whatever changes they want to try and control it, but in the long run those changes are only going to do so much to level the field on old servers.
