TIME TO RETHINK THE CITY ADVANCEMENT


Here is why...

I run a city on Tatooine bloodfin server.

The city level 3 is capped why simple

Take Mos Entooine - metropolis nice town well laid out

1000m from this metropolis is Mos entooine dune , 34 small houses plus city hall - NO terminals , NO civic structrues ,NO active players its just "there" If you read this mayor Azghul please help out the server

1000m to the other side of both of these towns is Mos Entooine Dunes- 33 counted houses + city hall - NO terminals , NO civic structures - NO active players again its just there. ( I brought this fact they dont qualify to csr's they didnt even bother to investigate lol ) if you read this mayor Kenjin please help out the server.

These two towns have been stagnant now for 4 months no movement up or down,no intention of ever even attempting to advance, houses wont go thx to sony's innovative but wrong take maintenance from your bank account scheme. They are on lockdown so no running from mayor to try & do something that way. So we are completely stuck

Why I feel so wronged

My own town is level 2 in the space of 3 weeks since dropping city hall we have 49 declared citizens with another 8 outside city limits (due to only being level 2) we have a bank all 6 skill trainers all 6 mission terminals, a garage, due to place cloner if we ever get there fully active town in the heart of Krayt territory within 2k of FIVE POI's but we cant advance to perhaps shuttleport level due to these ghost towns. So we are therefore unable to offer the many people that come thru hunting for dragons anything more than a cantina to buff from & a garage to repair bikes & vendors to re stock on items. We are niether Imperial aligned or Rebel aligned preferring to have our city as a hunting city for all factions. The nearest town to us is some 2500m away because I didnt want to directly compete with their services.
Everyone of my citizens has ordered ROTW so we will all still be here after the much slated CU.

SO what can we do

We tried talking to their mayors by email No response , why, cos weve been told they dont even play the game anymore.
We tried submitting a ticket & got what I consider a rude brush off by csr-BrockS (not first rude brush off had from him what ever happened to customer is always right lol ) along the lines of "tough" sit n wait.
We've resorted to sending an email to SOE itself out of game though Im sure we will get the please submit a ticket response.


A suggestion to fix this


SURELY SOE you can base ur city advancements on a better system than this

how bout REWARDING cities that WANT to grow & that WANT to offer something to the players on the server.
& PENALISE these ghost towns which in my own opinion is just another of the ever growing examples of control freak , power mad gameplay by single individuals that is sneaking un wantingly into our fun game.


I know I speak for all the mayors on tatooine on bloodfin city ranked 2 or below who im sure also feel agreived that all their hard work is going for nothing.

I have posted this on this forum as opposed to my server one cos of the usual idiotic flaming & this is meant to be a serious post that could & probably does effect ALL servers

Ty fellow politicians for ur time

The entire City and Housing system needs a major overhaul.

Remove the Jedi from the game or the GCW, there is no other option.

If those other cities are truly "run" by inactive mayors, you might want to pursue gaining residence in one (or both) of them. Any citizen can register to run for mayor, and the votes no longer default to the incumbent.

problem being lockdown

The city wont grow so you cant become within its radius at next update

Theres no active players to transfer a house to you or grant you zoning if they are on militia

they are just there wont go up wont go down & all we can hope for is that the citizens or the mayors bank balance reaches 0 pretty quick otherwise stuck

Dont know about anyone else but I do smell exploit & reported it as one.

Fill a city with citizens you know are leaving the game leave it just on the level make sure they have lots of cash stuck in the maintenance whole planet sticks for a long long time.
