Message:: [QUOTE="ButterBean, post: 4751, member: 783547268"]I messaged ATA in regards to this, there response was as follows "We are improving the efficiency in how we remove inactive accounts and in relation to that the account that is owned as ally will be affected. The mechanic of the ally market and the loop-holes available if full refunds on reset allies has caused imbalance to our older games that shares the same ally mechanic. In order to preserver fair balance and prevent previous loop-holes we've encountered, this is the ratio of refund for reset/inactive allies. It is also to stay consistent with our other games with this mechanic. Part of the intricacies of the ally market is choosing optimal allies, being mindful and avoiding inactives can be done with some digging around and due diligence".... This is most likely their usual copy paste response for these issues. They say it is in keeping with their other games. I was Megatron in KAW another ATA game (played for years) and this is NOT how kaw works, in kaw the % returned increases over time (In kaw you have owned the ally for 0 days you receive only 4.5% of their value back. For each day that you own the ally the percentage of their value you will receive will increase until it reaches the maximum 58%.Also when an ally is dropped its price is immediately reduced by 25% and for every 3 days the ally remains ownerless its price will drop a further 25%)when you drop allies YOURSELF... I was often using RESET BOMBS in Kaw OSW, and they even disabled reset on kaw sometime ago.. Accounts have remained inactive for years in kaw and they do not simply get deleted.  I believe the last person to reset on kaw was chaos, when he raged quit and reset his main. They later returned the acc to its former size and obviously said it wouldn't happen again... But I'm straying from the point, the fact is this is not what they do in other games from any of my experience. There is no way to determine if an ally is active, they may have allies themselves they may even be in a clan, and from all appearances they would appear to be active. And there is also the time limit, we can't exactly sit there and message each and very ally while having millions of gold out if they are really expecting people to do this. All in all this targets the mid/low players the MOST as they generally don't have the available gold to purchase what ata call "optimal allies" lmao I myself have lost a few million, how ? Well it's pretty easy. They are paying something like 50% drop price, so two allies at 1mil drop you have already lost a mil. And a LOT of people have ten or more allies in this price range. Can you imagine a 60mil ally being dropped !! Damn if that happens to me I'm quitting. So far I've lost 3 or more allies in the price range of 1-3 mil. It takes a fair amount of time to get allies, and to get the gold. Come on ATA this is just heartless and unnecessary, I honestly feel bad for anyone who had their hard work taken away from them by the devs while they sleep. Not happy with you ATA, you need to actually play this game and then you will actually understand how disheartening actions like this are. So out of touch with the players/customers. NOONE will support this.[/QUOTE]
