I'll tell you my pov.. a relatively new player this being the second wipe but with a lot of time spent on the server over 700 hours . That these servers are mostly used by players who want to learn the game and do it without stress.I think decay is a stress factor, especially if you don't have much time for the game.Another part of the players are those who know the game but don't have time, having family jobs and other problems and playing to get rid of daily stress but as much time as their time allows. These two categories will be the most affected and in the majority do not even participate in the vote and when they see your changes, the vast majority will look for another server. My opinion is that they don't build monstrous bases... They don't put 6-10 turbines on the base and mostly the lagg is not due to them. I think that the decrease in the number of those who will play on servers will be directly proportional to the increase in the percentage of decays...an active player can build and maintain 2 bases per day..., meaning at the end of the wipe about 60 bases... on which to put 6-10 turbines each and do more harm than those who also have a base, woe to it but they don't have the time and knowledge to automate the tc...
