Sorry to post on such a dramatic post in the forums, given that this is my first post here, but i think the big problem about the nobs is the fact that they do not read or understand the game.
All the forum posts are long and more than that booooooooring to read- live human interaction might be better suited- but all the players only want to get big - that means the strong will always hunt the weak- unless a reward system is given for teaching nothing will ever change- for example-
when i first asked some players or help or to tell me about the server all i got was some jokes and noting interesting or of value
- perhaps the new players might feel better if they were to be trained by older better players.The big players must take interest in the weak but i think not the weak should be rewarded but the strong for teaching them- a reward system like this- you trained 1 player and you get tokens/resources/something suited for your level- but it must be something that is worth your time or rubies.
Otherwise the strong will always hunt the weak and really not give a dam about the servers death- and the gap will only become larger.
If the high ranked players have a reason to train and teach low level players- and more than that live interaction- ex: moon shots exchange, ninja teaching, fleet save teaching and so on then it might be better.
Honestly most top players just want farms and unless you have 1 billion death stars you will not go for the top ranking turtle you will go for the 50k-400k area and attack till they quit(that is if they are in the same system) or go for their fleet or something- if a top player invests time in the new players- get a 1k player and start teaching him- not only by words but with live interaction for safe flight ninja reverse ninja and all this- then the new players will be swarming and no longer quit- but as i said- the big players need something of value because it is better to have a good farm than a good enemy.
And this game from my experience is like nature- a life tree were there is a race on top and so on like this
1
222
33333
4444444
555555555
now there might be small variations but if any of the steps(4) of this system is missing 3 will start feeding on 5 and unless enough time it is given so that 5 becomes 4 it is chaos - pretty much like this
the lion eats a monkey or a gazelle - imagine how many rats would a lion need to eat... same deal- what most failed to point out in what i was reading on this forum is that yes, big fish eat small fish but you do not see a shark going after the slug do you or a lion going after the small an?There are levels that need to be kept. This was added to my post for no other reason than the phrase that i keep reading big fish eats small fish.
now back on this topic- the admins need to make a system that will be able to support each lvl of players pretty much like this
1k-10k>10k-100k>100k-500k>....
you guys should make a data base and see were the missing link is and tey to fill in the gap(this is as a long term goal)
but i think the strong teaching the weak might do the trick in time but a 1mil player attacking a 10 k player is, i think, a sign that something is wrong.
All this said- i do not know if i made myself clear about what i meant but this is the issue in my humble opinion. Sorry for popping in on this conversation.

Cheers, have a good game and nice to make my first forum post.
