A disingenuous rhetorical question setting up a deflective ad hominum attack on me does nothing to advance the solution space. You're just adding to the non-value added noise here.

Your judgment on the matter is disordered, biased, corrupt and socially self-serving. A number have indeed proactively helped by proposing viable real and objective solutions in the program-space (e.g code logic changes). But you are wrong, not everyone has been trying to help - including yourself. A few here, and now you, are here for your own agenda - self promotion.

These same left-minded individuals want to keep moving the solution space into the unacceptable realm of human behaviors rather than operate objectively in the technical solution space; the latter being the only way to get uniform game play that does not reward childish and immature hate/spoiler players. These few ineffective commentators have not advanced the dialog by offering absurd "behavioral" approaches that range from: 1) sucking it up for the glory of warfare (aka as the "Spartica misery is glory mindset"); and 2) 'just cave into the extortion and pay gems and let the game abuser win' and encourage him to replicate and escalate it and do it to everyone who does not treat him extra-special. This sort of social-space solution does not scale and assumes that immature children or disordered adult personalities can be reasoned with or appeased.



The game is going down hill and is losing lots of players due to a multitude of reasons - one of which is this sort of game vulnerability in a poor handicap system that has been unsuccessfully tinkered with a number of times in the last year and has inverted the rank system so higher level players are made victims by their own rank and low level players get more in game leverage to abuse the game ever more.
