Decay timer still set to 2 weeks on officials

Funcom has said this many times, and it’s in their code of conduct we’re shown every time we log on.

Funny you should mention the code of conduct, because it doesn’t mention anything about the size of your builds. The official server rules are not – and never were – about how much you build, they are about the effect of your build on other players’ gameplay experience:

@Mayra

Please remember that there are other players sharing the server with you. Restricting others’ access to content is not allowed beyond of course grabbing a spot for your base. If you wish to reign supreme on the map and hog all the resources and enemies, please consider single player or setting up your own server, or - in the case of PvP servers - play fair.

Furthermore, we’ve already had confirmation from Funcom that the number of bases – one of the things you propose to limit – is not a problem in and of itself:

@Umborls

There is no specific restriction on how many locations you can build. I can’t see this ever being a problem on a PvP server. The more locations you have, the harder it is to defend them all. An extreme situation on a PvE server could hypothetically call for intervention.

All in all, you’re proposing a solution to something that isn’t a problem.

@Reverielle

It sounds like you’ve not read what I wrote above. I’d encourage you to.

If I had a dime for every time someone assumed I didn’t read what they said just because I disagreed with them, I would quit my job and dedicate my time to monetizing other people’s condescension

@Reverielle

It’s an official server, there needs to be a balance, and everyone knows no one can ever expect the community to self regulate themselves in terms of this, restrictions and impositions need to be imposed. This is true for every facet of life. That’s why we have rules.

Exactly. It’s why we have rules. It’s a people problem, and everyone in tech knows that you can’t solve a people problem with tech.

@Reverielle

I crux is; It’s basically about introducing engineered solutions to the game for their rules that they already have in place.

Like I said above, your proposal is a solution in search of a problem. The problem is not a quantifiable aspect of the building system, which is why you can’t solve it with a limit.
