First of all I wonder why most of your posts are sided with FC/game devs/etc.
Second - assuming what I’ve or haven’t done plus that ironic tone isn’t good for discussion. I said I checked number of servers (of course not sweeping them all entirely, I usually made it till sepermeru, mounds or new asgarth) and I was able to give exact number, because all of “scanned” servers had “favourite” mark on the servers list.
Third - I’ve mentioned, that I won’t be sending reports, because it is time consuming and pointless, because of the number of violations I will have to report. But if I will need to do so, I will mention exact server, location and attach screens, not because I’m so good, but because ticket requires you to fill it with those data. So again assuming that most of the players are braindead and won’t be able to do so is just rude - apart from those, who made mistakes while filling their complaint. Also argument about last resort retaliation method (by sending a ticket) is inaccurate, since (in my case) I’ve just logged in on particular server, don’t know anyone there, so why would I want/need to retaliate? Of course there will be some wrong, stupid or “revenge” tickets, but it is up to zendesk to do the diligence.
I don’t know from where you get your knowledge about how exactly zendesk is working (do they have bots, just a bunch of tired admins or army of them), but it is up to FC (or zendesk as a company hired to do the maintenance) to keep their “OFFICIAL” servers in order - they get good money from this game, set their own rules (ToC), but fail to “enforce” them. I get it there are so many servers to check and it will need a lot of work to scan them all (regularly or not), but if current system (sending tickets) isnt working, it is up to company to find better solution (idk - more people, some kind of automated checks/bots, put more pressure on zendesk to actually check received tickets (my friend was walled in his base by some asian named clan on pve-c, just because he won a duel with one of its clanmates - sent a ticket, get 3 automated responses, last of them saying the matter will be taken care of and after 2 or so weeks of waiting for anything to happen, he left the server and whole game)).
Last thing - I would kindly ask you to share more about why building limit won’t be a (at least partial) solution to the number and size of mentioned bases/constructions on official servers? Because from my point of view, if set correctly (number of building pieces needs to be carefully calculated, not like with followers limit, which is a bit too high for me) it could limit excessive (and I mean excessive) building.
