S***, if you can do 10k fights in a day, you either don't have a life outside of FoE or are botting (which are you?). Other than those who can do those fights at those numbers, there shouldn't be any b******* about rewards farming because we all know that Inno rewards are after several fights or negos, and not after each one.
You want data?
With no attrition mitigating buildings, a person whose attrition is 45 will no doubt get no more than 45 fights; a person whose attrition is 130 will get up to 130 fights; and a small player whose attrition is at 20 will get only 20 fights in.
Can we all agree to that as being the base? Good. Now, for said rewards...
Since it is on average that a reward is given after 4-5 fights (20-25% chance of receiving a reward), the following rewards are handed out (for fighting):
• 45 Attrition Player: 9-11 rewards per day
• 130 Attrition Player: 26-33 rewards per day
• 20 Attrition Player: 4-5 rewards per day
If anyone receives more than these estimates, they are very lucky the FoE gods have their backs; else, those who received less the FoE gods had cursed them. As a personal note, I am at the receiving end of straight attrition about 90% of the time; the 10% would be on sectors already having 1 SC in service.
Let's talk about 10 day totals (without any attrition mitigating buildings):
• 45 Attrition Player: 450 fights
• 130 Attrition Player: 1300 fights
• 20 Attrition Player: 200 fights
And rewards for those 10 days (again, without any attrition mitigating buildings):
• 45 Attrition Player: 90-110 rewards per season
• 130 Attrition Player: 260-330 rewards per season
• 20 Attrition Player: 40-50 rewards per season
With time and A/D-A% building, the fights will increase but the rewards will slowly increase (remember, on average it's 20-25% to get a reward).
Now, I truly understand the fuss about 0 attrition and rewards farming/sector swapping. For those that do 10k fights a day, I stand on what I said in the beginning paragraph; you are genuinely the problem. You're the problem because you don't let others in your guild get any fights in; who can get any in if all places are with 159/160 flags and the leaders will frown when a person in the same guild tries to get a fight in. If you're botting, you do not get any sympathy from me whatsoever.
Had Inno limited the number of fights/negos instead, everyone will have a chance to participate; free from all the fight hogging.
Since this nerf was in place, I have yet to see any of my guild leadership build any SC/WTs. However, we take sectors whether or not an attrition mitigating building was present; we do it for the victory points and do not hold any sector hostage (159/160 as I had seen in the past with other guilds). We knew it will be taken; so we wait the time to get back at it and take it back.
Yeah, it's going to hurt our troop count since the majority have a low level 'traz; but after time, we will bounce back.
