An honest question to the yellers that this will kill foe.
Have you ever thought that it's just your behavior that will kill the game??
5% off players always controlling everything for months or years , how can you expect to attract new players? They will play maybe a couple of months and come to the conclusion they have nothing to search in this game because they are condemmed to just look how the whales still increase the gap and make it higher and higher because you want not give up the exploitation.
And of course it's not a populair decission , but at the end i believe innogames is doing the right thing if they want foe to survive, and if that 5% is bragging that they will quit the game , good, then the other 95% active players will enjoy even more the game.
