It honestly depends if they are actively joining new worlds or not if not, they'll struggle to ever reach a decent sized account, its not as easy as it was on W1 anymore, you get a decent sized village then a big meany will come and rim you :icon_cool: most W1 players can't snipe a 150ms train... soooo... they won't stand much of a chance once the trains inbound
Oh now come on Nate, you should know by now such sweeping generalisations are founded on crap.
150ms trains are over rated, so predictable and you tend to see them coming. Given the choice I'll stand in front of it rather than snipe it. If I have to snipe, then yes I can thanks, preferring not to doesn't mean I can't.
Now anyone can sit and open a few tabs from the same village, you show me a player who can time well from several villages, who takes the time to sit and get ms timing on their nukes too, then I will be mildly impressed and think, oh s/he has some patience and skill.
In fact show me a player off a newer world who will still log in when the crossed swords hit the screen in the 1000's without whining then walking and I will be even more impressed.
The lazy attitude and lazy playing is seen right across w1, but it doesn't mean players can't do it. It is a totally different playing style to newer worlds where tabbed attacks from the same village isn't as important, and in my view no indication of any skill.
As for playing new worlds, it's no secret I hate start up, I just dont have the patience for all that farming, it bores me lol.
So when w1 ends, I'll still be about somewhere on other worlds I "play" on - with or without ms trains - usually without because I am not a train fan
