I agree that stealing $0 houses is strange as well.. how about if he did it 3 times in a row within 5 days(max u can do it, i believe.  Robbing somebody makes you unable to rob future houses just like the chills or something, been a while since i read it).

Like I said color, we have to get off of our high horses and realize that we are no where near the noobs or players who don't have a lot of time to invest.. lets call them the casual castle doc player.    Again I have no doubt that you are part of that 20%(I guess I am, too smile that I mentioned who could prob do without EVER robbing a $2k house..  but after i would find a wife worth $4k.. and I spend my starting money on a gun and 2 saws to get to her, build my $3k house and leave $1k for bait..  I don't want to rob people w/out tools(granted u can just house peek until u find a safe house tongue).  Again, you have to look at the whole player base and see that we are more then casual cas doc players. 

Well, it is obvious that players have been quitting "en masse".. what do you think is causing both the quitting the the inability to hold new players attention the past week or two?  sad

Like this game a lot, don't want it to die is all  <3

*Just one more thing.. you have 514 posts my man!!!  Impressive shit! :DD   but, I mean.. maybe people were not as good when you started vs how good the gen cas doc population is now?   I don't think that is unfair to say.*  -- edit

I see iceman.. well he has the top house so I doubt he is prepping his own death bounty  tongue.

Color -- He is not an active player, because, and I said this already, Why oh why would the $100,000.00 house spend time refreshing the WHOLE player base and not only look at $0 houses, but decide to enter them.. then decide to rob the worthless vault?

Color -- Would you say it is a bit much?  I took the time to state why I thought he was killing the game -- most new players and certainly new new players really get a huge boost from robbing a vanilla $2k house and in many cases keeps them playing the game if they can get a decent house up($4k is MUCH more then $2k).   When I started playing, I lived off those things.. especially once i had a house worth over 5k, I didn't want to blind rob someone and die!! haha

come on brotha, you need to remember when you started playing this game before you became superpro, ya know?   Some ppl have been around a while so it does get a bit harder to sympathize with the fresh bloods.  But we gotta think about the good of the game.. any new player who might have been interested.. would quickly quit if they can't get into any $2k houses. 

Don't you agree?  or do you think that fresh new players should be able to run into a $3k house and rob it and have a good time w/out practice(which you really get by building your own house after dying to other ppls traps and getting ideas for your home).

Sorry I don't mean to sound like I am being aggressive, I am interested in your opinion.. but please leave one aside from U don't think  wink   

<3 thx for the replies, guys!

So over the past week I have been able to come back during the nights/morns and have played here and there.  I used to play a lot.. came back like I always do smile

I noticed 2 things: 

1. The player base has dropped drastically.  and

2. I have just been messing around, 2k dives, getting an initial layout of a few houses for future visits.. etc.  I noticed something:  Every night I would log out with a fresh house for some new player to rob and use for their house.   The first time I did this, I noticed that I was robbed by John Lewis Noonan.. the TOP DOG who had around $100,000.00!   OK, no big deal, dude is greedy, i get it tongue.    BUT as I didn't have much time and was unable to successfully rob a $20k house(high hopes, i know lol), I would leave my $2k vanilla house for a noob to rob each night.. THIS IS WHERE THINGS GOT STRANGE..  I would get robbed by some random person, mission successful..  as we know, even if you have $0 in your house, you are still on the list while your browse for houses/view your tapes.  As I was viewing my tapes(with $0 in my house) every 2 days ON THE SPOT John Lewis Noonan would run on into my house(mind you, there is only a 1 minute window while i view a guy take 9 steps to my vault, then type his name to see how much his house is worth tongue).. anyway  Noonan would run into my houses and steal my empty vault.  He did this as i was viewing my tapes every other day and stole $0 form me 3 times in a row over 5-6 days. 

What the hell is going on here?  Does this Noonan guy have a bot running his guy into 0/0 houses and only walking to the vault if there is no danger??  Why would the top house rob houses worth $0 over and over (exact timing, by the way, and not to mention why is the top house looking at the $0 houses waiting to pounce like a cheetah?).  I mean, if he is going for $2k houses, robbing $0 houses will only put him on the timer for their next house which would have money.

Basically I wouldn't care about this scrub running a bot.. but if this kid is stealing all the $2k houses which, lets face it, the new players 100% need to get up and running(yeah, so 20% of new players can do w/out it, BUT WE WANT THE MOST PPL PLAYING THIS GAME.. plz don't argue with me just to argue smile  then this Noonan is single-handedly killing this game and I don't think he even knows it.  I think he likes the game and wants to play w/people.. so sad that he doesn't see that he is making it so he has all the money in a mass multi game where he will soon be the only player  sad.

Thoughts?  Did I miss something?  Love to discuss this like adults  tongue  or either way, I can tango  <3
