Prevention of the troll attackers

So there has been a surge of players that have gotten beaten down on for various reason and have now become "troll attackers" (players that have no turfs and have only 0 upkeep weapons)

I think we can prevent this very easily. If a person has negative money (is in debt), he/she should not be able to attack anyone until they have money. "troll attackers" will likely end up in negative income after they attack people they can't win against or after they get attacked my players and lost what money they have.

What do you all think?

I like it. But they could just contact support.

Support normally only forgives huge debt. Nominal debt is generally up to the player for clear. Also support can make it so only debt of players that have logged in for a while is forgiven. If a player has been playing daily or often and sends a message for forgiveness to support, they should reject it.

My idea is that a player should have to have at least 1 turf to attack someone else's turf or assist in a V.

I suppose i disagree just because i dont think troll attackers are a bad thing. They force smaller players to actually mob up and learn how to form alliances. Its like tough love that weeds out players who wouldnt be dedicated anyways

This makes more sense

I hate when people troll on the forums, but don't have any turf for me to destroy!

Such troll attackers also could make noobs/new players quit since they see no way to tackle the troll attacker issue. Also dedication doesn't mean they should play in an alliance or mob up. Some people are happy going at it alone and as a small mobster. Even if players do get in an alliance and learn to mob up or form Vs, it still won't allow them to fight back to troll attackers.

Yes. I've witnessed this before.

If you are in debt, but can't attack, how are you to get out of debt? Can't plant turf, no money. Can't cap turf, can't attack. This idea is beyond stupid.

Run missions and u should nvr be in debt, if ur gonna go into debt sell ur upkeep weapons and armor

👆 this. Also as I said before if your in a huge debt (one that selling your upkeep gear and doing missions for a few days won't solve - like 1billion in debt for example) you could contact support and they will reset your debt.

Although I do like Mysterys idea better. It's simpler yet solves the problem.

I went zombie yesterday No turf, no weapons that cost. I was being clobbered by a team of 20k+ mobsters. It was the only way that I can strike back at them. It's very effective and soon they will learn that the little guy might be crazy... Leave him alone

That's good but troll attackers can have 1 1 inf turf.

One 1 inf turf can still be capped.

But they are cheap and hard to cap my suggestion is they must havev86 influence so they have to have a full turf.

👆 doesn't work for those that are too low level to have that high inf.

Mysterys idea works.

Cheap is relative. In a dense city, the cost to plant a turf is much higher than the cost to upgrade a turf. As for "hard to cap," again that is relative & depends on multiple factors.

Fair enough.
