Overnight Tower Sitters

[Shuffler]

I didn't ask..... can I pay my sub and not gripe?

As an overseas player I see it many times, as an autoswitcher I'll be on the team with the least players wondering why I cant get a single person to help.  I always see the same names every day tower sitting and taking up space on the team and we end up not getting any other autoswitchers to help.

I've texted with several players over the years about this same problem. I'm wondering instead of booting the Tower Campers, why not have them moved to the O Club where they can have a cocktail while AFK? Then change the logarithm to not have the O Club count against the ENY. I'm guilty as well of forgetting to log off for one reason or another, and I know the feeling of seeing half of your country camping the tower.

Full disclosure... I'm not a tower camper and I've been paying since Jan of 2008.

With the catalog of aircraft available in AH... THIS is an issue? Which 5 ENY (or 10 ENY?) aircraft can't you do without??? 

[DmonSlyr]

Eny should only focus on players in the air currently.

Not sure if its an easy fix, but that makes a lot more sense.
 I believe the only reason why they aren't booted is so the #s look good and keep people logging in late at night or early morning when they log in. It's better to see 15 players in the arena than 5.

People who aren't actively in the fight should not represent ENY.

Some people leave multiplayer games up all the time.     It's like a window into different world.

I was playing last night. when numbers dropped to around 20 per country, there was about about even numbers of players in the tower. when they dropped to around 10 or 12 it was still an even number of players in tower 4 or 5 per country.

even hitech himself has said if they want to stay in the game they will find a way.

Question ...If you bail near a bad guy field then hide, does it flash the base? Had it happen last night. GV dar was up but GV not to be seen anywhere.

I have been in the mornings PST and the eny was so bad we could only up an early zeke off the carrier. Other times flying 25+ eny planes against a horde of F4U-4s. We had more in game but half the numbers in the air. So.. 5 to 10 eny no biggie, but 25+ eny because of tower campers, yes it’s a big deal. Same with a Jeep flashing a base, pulls resources. Idle time out is the tool, no way around that. 10 minutes no movement, server kick, easy to implement. If you are poaching in a tank, just swing the turret. If you go to sleep or pass out drunk, someone gets a Proxies maybe. If you are tin the tower….no harm no foul just kicked out of game.

Creative gameplay has given way to whack-a-mole. 

Base flashes, up a spit with a bomb and repeat.
