Practical Solutions To Limit Prize Bot BHs
So as many of you know, RuAL hit us hard today. Lucky for us we still have much more defence. But when a BH where most of the accounts are four months old puts such a big hit on a top BH - any top BH, then you know that the game is broken.
The impossibly high prize scores of prize bot BHs like !!!Pirates!!!, Bilge Rats, RuAL and Destroyer do not seem to be good enough evidence for Plarium, even though the statistical evidence is overwhelming.
So we are left with practical solutions to make everyone follow the same set of rules for the game.
If a BH uses up the offence of a member, boots the account and lets the same member run a new account through the prizes, then there is no end to the amount of offence a BH can generate.
I am requesting a limit of 160 new members in the first year of a BH's existence, and after the first year, 200 new members in the trailing two years. If the limit has been exceeded before the rule change, then no new members can be admitted until it drops below the limit.
This game is meant to be played by people against people...our best 160 against your best 160.
We have played this game as hard as anyone, but also with decency and a sense of fun. From our bigger spenders right through to our many players who play within more modest game budgets, we ask that you consider BH members as more than just toilet paper to be used up and thrown away. Cheers ;)
