Is this really promoting battles between higher-ranked players or just bumping off people who are sitting on resources so that the higher-ranked players can pillage their kingdom? YOU ARE FEEDING THEM! As if they didn't already have the unfair advantage of more buildings, cheaper upgrades and shorter build times than players who joined later. As if they were not already dropping crowns to hide from their true peers and feed on us, YOU ARE FEEDING US TO THEM! OMG!
As if you didn't raise the bar to nearly impossible levels with your recent building patch, requiring players to amass even larger amounts of resources, you, the game developers, are now conspiring to strip players of those resources. The players who are sitting on their devices for hours are the ones who are heavily raiding or waiting for a crew to become available so that they can do an expensive upgrade. Now you're telling us that you are deliberately pulling the rug out from under them and throwing them to the lions too? OMG, this is SO FOUL!
To make matters worse, you won't say HOW you're selecting players for this sacrifice. If you really wanted to give them a time-out to eat and rest, you would give them a shield while you kept them offline. So no, it's not a break -- it's a sacrifice. You are serving up these players. If you wanted to be fair, you would also give them some warning, so they could make some kind of preparation to be offline, and you would tell them how long you planned to keep them off. You won't say how long one would have to be online to become a sacrificial lamb, except that "it will be a very very long time to be playing." What the heck does that mean?
If you're being sincere, all I can say is, you need a better plan "to encourage battles amongst the very elite."
