It's the admins problem and it's up to them to put a stop to it , my time is better spent elsewhere which explains why I dont post in the forums much anymore or visit chat.
THIS IS REALLY THE BIG PROB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I keep hearing these allegations of scripts... and cheating.
1) How can you be so sure someone is running a script?
2) If someone is using an intense script, I'd imagine they'd be the ones rolling in the gold. They'd have done better at cashout than me, who definately did it manually. And if Pops and his mafia aren't using scripts then basically that would leave Mrs Air, CSS Striker and Smiller. In short, I don't buy it.
3) If the problem in this game is inequality, and things being tough for new users, why, oh why does the gangbanging from some of our Top players continue?
The main complaint of the original post was from the rapid fire hits of RAT, PTR and Larry within literally NINETY-NINE SECONDS. I'm sorry, but right now it sounds to me like Pop's way of hijakking the thread, accusing script use, to change the subject away from abusive fleet use! That's right, Im calling Bullsh!t on some of this.
Fleets aren't against the rules, but when the strongest players have banded together in fleets, it then is exponentially harder to oppose them or to even think of ever reaching their level. And getting the new folks together in a fleet isn't going to help unless they are all in one with folks just as big--- Another reason I had opposed the "Superfleet" is that the result would be only new folks who had the luck to join it could rapidly progress.
I'm a sole practitioner, and I'm having success in this game. I've learned to compensate for the fleets, and found ways to get gold and to hold onto a good portion of it. It took a lot of screw ups and still I hit setbacks, but I can come on strong and still get somewhere. I've gotten some cash, and a prize, and if cashout inflation doesn't go exponential, I'm getting some upgrades and some cash in the next couple months. And I'm going to wear my PTW T-Shirt with pride (once it gets here.).
That being said, I have to say some of my success has come from talking with other folks about how to play and thinking about different subtleties.
The lag is a real issue. I think it is going to take a lot of real digging to resolve it. I'm beginning to think it is being done inadvertantly by someone who doesn't even realize they have some form of Precache, etc (as the Cap announced on the Member Home Page.), or possibly some form of odd other configuration issue. That needs to be resolved to keep people here and to get new folks to start. The fact that it comes and goes so sporadically....
