I've said it in the other thread but to repeat:
What we can offer are a compensation in Repair-time and CP, but this would be given out at all players of the world. I'm not sure if this is to everybody's satisfaction.
We understand the trading of POIs like this is upsetting. But the resources gained and invested until the change are still a benefit to the respective alliances.
The way I see it there has been a role-reversal. However, the alliance that got closer to the Fortress earlier also has a lot tougher enemies to confront now, while the players with the stronger enemies at the start have benefited from higher loot and could grow more compared to others AND now have weaker enemies ahead of them as compared to before. The time and resources invested are not lost by any means.
This is the equivalent of a game studio hiring two developers who both share equal skills in front end and back end development. They're given a choice, do you want to work on front end or back end; they both choose their respective areas to work in.
For the first week, they both work away until the manager sees what the front end developer does and thinks its much more difficult than what the backend developer does because he doesn't understand what's happening.
So instead of engaging with either of them, he goes back to his computer and types out a memo announcing he will be reducing the back end developer's pay by 80% and raising the front end developer's pay by 80% to account for the perceived difficulty of the work.
The game is not about complete fairness. It's about equal opportunity. Players went into the world knowing that the base and poi distribution was going to be different and could strategies accordingly. Like the developers, we chose our sectors to where we thought our strengths were. Anyone else could of done the same.
In regards to your comment abound the resources evening out, everyone in DT has killed approximately 2-3 lvl 28-29 bases accounting for around 6-9m tiberium. With the bonuses you have just handed to GON on a silver platter (134k/hr with 2 bases ~ 5m/day), they get the equivalent tiberium in two days with no effort what so ever. The only way to close the gap is for DT to kill ~150 bases in that time. Even then, there will still be a net difference of around 50k/hr. To say that it will even out is ridiculous. This is of course, excluding the compounding effect that getting that much tiberium will have. Anyone who has done basic finance will have an understanding of what will happen.
