Out of touch with the gaming community
After a month of waiting TA releases the worst version of the game they have. Last time I played Forgotten attacks with morale I left it. It sucked that bad. Games are suppose to be fun not work. TA has really destroyed this community with greed trying to suck out every penny from the last of the loyal player's. Why don't you idiots trying playing your product and see how enjoyable you have made it. Seriously spend a year of your life with the **** your putting out and then you will understand why your community is gone.

Look I've been very outspoken about some of the changes over time have had a negative impact on the overall fun of the game. PvP has slowly but surely almost been ruled out of what is supposed to be a combat game which is really silly. Not everyone loves PvP I get that, even historical C&C'ers oftentimes might prefer skirmish but there should be better balance right now the game is very farmvilleish.
At the end of the day though if you want to express those frustrations constructively there are people here every day listening. The clock can't be turned back, we can't go back 2,125 days (the launch of Closed Beta 1) and redo things but changes are still being made regularly so there are folks trying.
The same can be said about worlds with horrific starting layouts, there is no reason for those either, other that to satisfy a handful of farming fanatics who don't like seeing things 'too easy' for all players. It seems that over time there have been constant changes to slow things down, to make the worlds take longer to complete.
In my opinion, people want the speed of game progress increased, with better loot rewards and better rp rates, including loot and rp for pvp, more along the lines of the old economy servers. I occasionally visit one of the older worlds and noticed just the other day that on that world, destroying a lvl 56 camp pays the same resources and rp as killing a level 65 camp in new economy. This is one of the main reasons this game has turned into farmville, where everybody wants to find that 6touch tib layout, or the perfect layout for power, crystals or credits. In the old economy base layout was never the sort of critical issue it is in this newer farmville version of the game.
He sure is a sick syco
Basically cleaning as fast as we can............ he does not like to give up.
If he's able to spam 100+ threads worth of non-sense and "eula breaking word syntax", then this means that there might not be even a he, perhaps a spam bot. One possibility I see is that this is not a single spam bot but maybe a "DDoS" or Distributed Denial of Service - designed to specifically to overload and crash the server. It seems however that he failed for attempting to stop the forums. Maybe he hates TA to the point he created a DDoS to crash the forums.
I could suggest this, create a new forums with restrictive controls to players who has morals... e.g. whitelist only players who really prefer the game and are within the terms of service. In that forums, move all the recent topic and reclassify them inside. Leave a "Open-air" forums for new players, spammers and novices to mingle, with content auto-resetting every few days.
I also want to see a RA series fashioned after TA, and it seems Yuri is the best substitute for the forgotten, challenging and filled with unexpected twists.
Like each time you fail an offfense against Yuri, you loose a unit if there is a mind-control unit within the defense setup. Those 2 units must meet at the attack at some point. What happens to the unit is simple, it gets added to the defense of Yuri's. Take note that Mind-control units and structures should appear in a small percentage only. Instead of 2 to choose from why not 3? The factions from RA3.
Could one attempt to blacklist names with a jumbled sense of letters? One where you read it in english won't have a reference to a noun. I mean all his names aren't even english to a sense.
But on a more serious side If his Email address was banded each time, (I know he will just get another) But Banning each address every time, Even The Biggest Idiot will over time get feed up having to get another Email address
Some techniques sound good on paper until you then find the forum software does not allow such features. This forum software is common to almost all EA titles so we can't adjust things just for our spammer, much as we'd like to, as changes need to be global.
Couldn't we have him prosecuted to whatever state he belongs? I mean this is a very annoying case that could have him sentenced in court.
Another idea I had is to let him spam all he wants in a forum that is dedicated to be erased again and again. Does this seem like a good idea?
