No matter what you do, the same thing is gonna happen. My idea is that you open hte only for players under a certain cs and change XTAL limit to 3 so that more small players can hit and big players won't be able to join the eb and kill the whole thing with 1-2 unloads. The bigger players will be forced to stick to lotl and other big ebs for gold. As for zta they should keep it for smaller cs aswell. They should come out with an eb that's as hard as goth but pays a lot more. This will help bridge the gap between bigger and smaller cs. You can also put a plunder cap on how much you can make on certain ebs.
Exactly. I sit full or see a count down timer. If the count down timer lasts longer than a pay to play EB, there's an issue.
