Limit on buying & selling war supplies?
As of this morning, nobody in my club is able to buy or sell more than 1 war item per spot in the Trade Depot. Does anyone know if this is a bug or is it a change? It's very inconvenient.

After reading through this series of posts it is very clear what is taking place...a couple + years ago I contacted EA and asked this simple question - “Are feeder cities legal?” After 3 or 4 exchanges (obviously in conjunction with their legal department) I finally got an answer - “An individual may play multiple cities but they can not be used as a satellite or feeder city.” I had this reviewed by an appropriate professional who confirmed the response came from a legally recognized representative of the company and was a binding statement of fact. I have shared this previously and got called all kinds of names but that’s ok it’s simply a reflection of them as a person.
In answer to the rhetorical question from one of the posters “Are you a cheater”... actually yes, whether you know it or not. Don’t worry, I don’t think they’re after an individual, I believe this is an effort to address these multiple feeder clubs feeding there primary club. If by chance this makes it inconvenient to feed your primary city, all the better, levels the playing field.
Very well-said. Yes, I still remember you answering my question on whether feeders are legal.
To me, feeders are no different from cheaters. Cheaters hack the system to gain an advantage while feeders misuse the system to gain an advantage.
Players going to other clubs to buy war items is one of the reasons why I reject every single request to join my club. Even if I accept, I will clear out all war stuff from my teammates’ stores beforehand. There was once a new member mentioning that she had a feeder club, I ejected her out immediately despite her impressive stats.
They can give whatever justification to their choices.
@J6niceL Thanks for the kind words my friend, sadly the messenger always gets shot... Something I never shared was that if I had received a different response from EA we had 5 very strong clubs lined up to participate collectively with members trading through the collective feeder club and the members could compete in any of the 5 club’s wars...each club would provide 3 feeders for a 15 member club to support 5 - 12 member clubs - I believe we could have handled anything thrown our direction (except hackers) as all 5 clubs were in the top 200 at the time. No cheaters, no bubble boys...but collectively we felt it would give us perhaps an unfair advantage and since the leadership of each club are honorable individuals we collectively decided to ask the simple question. We got our answer and elected to follow the rules...so when I get attacked for this message I simply smile because it is just a reflection of the individual and yes you’re correct it is cheating in the truest sense of the word. That said, shame on EA for not enforcing what they stated in writing... Take care.
If they are kicking cheaters finally, this is a useless update. Just punishes the rest of us.
I get it limits people's storage to 20 instead of 300. So maybe it's a help, but if they can see the cheat. Kick em, and done, right?
