Terrible solution. Any answer that forces constant farming of resources is tedious and un-fun. That’s not you playing the game, that’s the game playing you.

You might like this idea, but the vast majority of PvE players don’t. FunCom understands this from the history of their game. This is why sandstorms no longer damage bases, this is why the purge is not random anymore, because the large majority of people don’t like to be forced to farm non-stop just to maintain things.
