Politician Archive

SOE should have waited until they could publish with no city caps. City caps are grossly unfair to Politicians and citizens alike.

1) Politicians will be well behind in xp than their counterparts (TH has said caps will be removed in Dec!). These more experience politcians will have more/better abilities than the rest of us, and be more desirable to the constituency.

2) Cities will havea LARGE headstart, especially because it takes at least a week to level a city up and their cities and politicians will have more/better amenities, such as a Cloner, Shuttleport, specializations, etc. Citizens and Merchants will find these cities far more attractive to live in that those cities just starting after the player cap is removed.

THUS: Player Caps put cities and politicians that come later at a starting disadvantage. You wouldn't allow only certain people to become Bounty Hunters and then later let others join in.

I understand the technical limitations SOE must be facing, but either A) RemoveCity Caps immediately, B) Offer later Politicians and Cities some sort of bonus so that they won't be behind, or C) Undo the publish and timewarp the servers to before the patch.
