Popular Post Isjaki Posted November 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2019 Let's be honest, baseball should be nerfed further. Why? I offer 3 reasons. 1) It's not realism. I am yet to see a single nation in real life which earns more from a sports team than it's actual cities and infrastructure. 2) It's unfair. Players who have regular jobs, college, school etc should be able to compete on the game on a fair basis, based on their diplomatic, financial and military skills alone, without relying on baseball. It's discriminatory against players who can't put in 6 hours a day. A c25 with a job shouldn't be making less than a c5 who clicks 6 hours a day. 3) It interferes with the rest of the game. Global war 14 has the Coalition A alliances militarily defeated, and while they hope that Coalition B coffers run dry, to aid in the peace negotiating process, Coalition B has the option to simply spam baseball (and many do the same), to generate money out of thin air for the war effort. I might add there has been a precedent for Alex preventing this sort of alliance-dominating tactics in game, when he nerfed treasures due to the formation of treasure island. Thus, I would propose that baseball payouts be slashed to 5% of their current value, to reflect their worth better upon the game. 13 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Zei-Sakura Alsainn Posted November 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2019 Just remove it. According to the 'baseball community' in the thread a while ago, nobody would play if they couldn't make huge primary income off it. If that's truly the case, than just yank it right out and put it in the same dumpster with keno and dice. 1 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don't mind it merely as an entertainer, a distraction from the rest of the game, but it should definitely lose it's economic utility. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Anarch Caelum Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 It’s already been nerfed almost unusable. If he nerfs it more really would be better off removing it & refunding people their stadiums/ player costs. Although might be making the game more boring removing all the extra unnecessary for the core gameplay “fun” features Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard J Crabs Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I'm confused, how is Coalition B the only ones able to play baseball? What's stopping Coalition A? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Anarch Caelum Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I’ll just be really annoyed I invested a bunch in players again while blockaded if it suddenly gets another nerf; when I’m going to lose money on it regardless probably. Don’t play it much anymore & annoying/difficult trying to get the amounts needed if using it to bypass blockades. Original purpose it had for me.

What's stopping Coalition A? Coalition B was given as an example. One of the most infamous unbanned abusers in the game is actually in a Syndisphere alliance, for example. So essentially, you're not hurting him at all. You may as well not even bother. Edited November 28, 2019 by Akuryo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although people everywhere play baseball on an individual level & more could encourage its internal use if they wanted. Edit: Although think he should be working on new features like no defense mode air crafts & the good ones; instead of focusing on breaking current ones.

Both coalitions have the same options to use the same game mechanics. Be kinda like saying blockades are unfair because Coalition A doesn't bother buying ships.

Nobody Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Think about it like this. Investing in infra and improvements is passive, meanwhile baseball is active involvement. Should passive or active involvement be more profitable? If baseball was slashed to 5% it would become dead content. And people that play baseball would stop logging in everyday. If coalition A isn’t taking advantage of baseball currently, they will learn their lesson after this war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archibald Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 As I said in the pubcord, get rid of it or don't, it's irrelevant to me. But I mean, it's a big part of the game rn. Maybe tweak it a bit, maybe add -other sports-, i dunno. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) A point that he is making is that people that can click for 6 hrs shouldn’t have an advantage over people that can’t, so how about decrease the amount of game that can be played before the decrease to 10% from 1000 to 750 (or 500) and increase the host reward to even it out.

Broke Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 First: It's a part of the game that had existed for a long long time. I have never seen anyone complain about it until recently, and Alex has changed it. Why do we need to change it further? Second: The players deserver the extra cash because of the amount of games they play. They put in more effort, so they deserve more. Third: How is it discriminating? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunara Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 When you complained one time, you will complain a second time because it's not going your way. Let's be honest, the one should be nerfed is the brain of those who wants baseball be gone just because they refuse to have the other side having a side advantage of the game when it's an option to choose. You clapped your hands when Alex nerfed baseball, and you see people are still playing, and you complained again. Just because you refused to pay tips for the games and you want to blame people for playing the game. You're the one who is unfair when people played your games and you refused to pay tip. Ha. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Yuno Posted November 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 29, 2019 I love baseball and all my friends play it ^-^ i say we should keep it! Besides, there's already a limit to how many games you can play, and I only play like 300 games per day these days, without a max team. I need the money because it's too hard to Trade and raiding takes days (way too long for me who wants instant gratification) even though it's not much money compared to the time commitment and clicking efforts invested XD cuz the time I spend clicking baseball, I could've spent doing homework or job or playing other games. (Though I do try to read something on the side while doing it.) 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 With how baseball has already been nerfed, what you're suggesting right now would end up killing the game for good. There'd be no point in playing it after that. Also, by that second point, we should also nerf trading as well, because people can and do put hours of their time into that, and it earns far more than baseball can in less time. Especially after the nerfs to baseball Alex implemented previously. As for your third point, what's stopping Coalition A from doing the same? Absolutely nothing, they can play baseball as well if they choose to. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No money is generated from clicking the buy or sell button. The only risk to baseball is being a normal human being who gets bored before recouping the investment put into it. Sorry, but it's not comparable to trading, or raiding, nor is it even remotely necessary for the games economy. If you wouldn't play it because you can't make more than a developed upper tier nation per day from it, then I'm afraid your actual concern is the advantage you get from it, and not anything else. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isjaki Posted November 29, 2019 Author Share Posted November 29, 2019 I don't get the logic of people thinking that they deserve more payout just because they can put in 6+ hours a day. Doesn't the intellectual effort of planning and buying cities and infra count? And what about the rest of us, players who have college/jobs etc? Coalition B was an example. 2 hours ago, Light said: With how baseball has already been nerfed, what you're suggesting right now would end up killing the game for good.

As for coalition A, plenty of people do it anyway, apart from those who can't due to real life time constraints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zephyr Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I would support removing monetary prizes from baseball or just removing baseball entirely from the game. Although I've dabbled in baseball myself, it is ridiculous how much money can be earnt from mashing some buttons and it's quite irrelevant to the core game. I get that baseball offers a side-game to blow time on, but my other concern is how many players are really clicking the buttons themselves? After all the allegations of baseball cheating, I looked into how it can be automated and it's surprisingly simple to install a browser extension that will automate the process for you. So the only thing stopping players automating baseball is the occasional captcha. I find it hard to believe, that for something anyone with little technical experience can automate in a few minutes, that there isn't actually a large number of regular baseball players simply firing up their new favourite browser extensions and checking in every 10 minutes to handle pesky captchas manually. Obviously if you'd found a golden goose that laid millions of dollars daily, you probably wouldn't be too forthcoming about how abusable the system is.
