Makes it harder, meaning that fewer people are able to succeed at it, driving away more and more players as only a 'hardcore' base is left. The people who don't leave on the spot, but try to stick it out while not getting up at nights, grow less and get fewer roids.

Removing one of the few features that makes it more accessable for people with a RL would damage the games viabilty. How much fun do you think it would be if the game had 1k players and just 10 alliance, how long do you you think the players in alliance 8-10 would stick aroundif they went from being fairly successful to being bashed as the easiest targets

Your enjoyment is infact CONNECTED to the enjoyment of these players your looking down on. I'll use my trusted Africain Game Reserve analogy to highlight my point.

In a game reserve you have 3 main catogories of life in them, your preditors (lions ect), your prey (antalopes, zebras ect) and your Planets. For all these to thrieve theres needs to be a balance, a balance that sees their being fewer preditors than prey, and fewer prey than plants. If any of these get out of balance it throws those above them in the chain into turmoil. Too many preditors for the amount of prey means not enough food which results in the little food being wiped out and the preditors then not having any food, too much prey and too many plants are eaten and this means the prey has nothing to eat which in turn means the preditors dont ect ect

Now the principles of this analogy are the same in PA, the same balance needs struck between the top middle and bottom people. Without a lot of small players the middle players cant thrieve and the top players struggle. Hence the hardcore players need the new players.

Some people at the upper end of the games food chain need to realise this and stop looking down on the new players as much as they hold the future of this game in their hands more than you actually do.
