No to shield buster
I write this as a loyal Sims buildit player. Spend countless hours and real dollars. Sims does not care about us. We give them our time and money. And they slap us in the face, while forcing us to c...
Just to say it clear. I'm playing in a team of 18. We have no other club for farming items and none of us uses any feeder cities. We are not the typical 10 mayors hider team but anyway we are often the first team hiding with a lead even when we play against a hider team of 10(with an absolutely normal winning rate of about 50%).
Yes I can feel it too, I absolutely agree that all the feeder cities and farming clubs and open wars with friendly clubs has slowly killed the game. But this is a different problem and has nothing to do with the shields. Or in other words, the shield buster will not solve this problem, it will make it worse.
The situation before the shield buster:
The only reason for the existence of all these clubs with one strong city and 9 feeder cities is, that all the members of the top teams need more war items and much more war simoleons then they get as reward. So they are leaving their main club and join their farming club where 9 feeder cities are already waiting.
The future situation with shield buster will be something like this:
The top teams are still in need of much war simoleons. But now they are also in need of much more war items than before. So the farming and feeding will getting more worse than before, too. Because of the shield buster, one strong city with 9 feeder cities will probably not work any longer, but something like 10 strong cities with 15 feeder cities will.
An easy solution I have already suggested a long time ago could be:
Don't allow any player to carry war items and war simoleons from one club to another. The war items should not only be related to a player but also be related to a club. When a player leave a club he will lose his war items and simoleons. When the player goes back to the club he will get his war items and simoleons back. This will prevent players for playing in a second club, only to farm war items and simoleons.
