Idea: Delete all inactive accounts in Hire Ally List!

Discussion in 'Ideas + Feature Requests' started by STARCATCHER, May 26, 2014.

  1. It would be great if you (devs) would delete inactive accounts in the Hire Ally List. I think it is ridiculous that we have to go to wc or ask Clan members if there are any ACTIVE allies for hire.

    This shouldn't be. We should be able to go to Hire ally list and be able to select an active ally of our choice with no hassle.

    Please look into it devs.

  2. It takes max 30s to figure out if and how much an ally is active. No support
     
  3. Some people buy inactive allies.

    No Support
     
  4. No support. Then how will small accounts find allies? 98% of allies in the 0-100b range are inactive. Plus how would Devs calculate them to be inactive? Also what about Propack allies?
     
  5. @grimzzy. Wouldn't smalls like to have an active ally. What benefits the smalls by having an inactive ally?
     
  6. They already do, if your account is inactive for 3 months (something like that) then your account is reset.
     
  7. I hire nothing but inactives. Better stats for the price. No support
     
  8. No reply, they get traded a lot. They are also needed to keep the market running.
     
  9. @Khajiit reset? Or deleted?
     
  10. Think they get deleted, either way it has the same effect, one less inactive on the ally list. Really there isn't any other way to improve on it.
     
  11. Volt, the smalls use the inactive allies for plunder. Duh
     
  12. @scrote There is really no need for this many inactives from the 0-100b range. In my opinion, I would love to have an active ally as a small.
     
  13. My point is, smalls wouldn't be able to find any allies. Since most are inactive, only a few in their price range would be active and available, and would have to be fought over, soon making them overpriced. Just IMO. I have nothing against you, I just don't think this would benefit the smalls.

  14. @spyro I understand this. Is that more beneficial than having a continually growing ally? This confuses me.
     
  15. Sadly, no Support  Noobs need cheap inactive allies for plunder.

    Not a Noob and Need Allies? Well, can't believe I'm saying this, but thanks to the hunt promos it's easy to pick up actives by banner type/style and also spells casted.
    Lots of smaller accounts trying to hit larger EBs for eggs or whatever and need to cast mith to do so. It pays to scroll through the list, just change up the price range.
    Also, when you find an active, check their clan's EB history, not only for his/her activity, but for other potential ally adds later.

    Peace!️
     
  16. @volt, allies below 1 billion already get hired away minutes after you hire em, if your idea was impelmented there would be a handful for all the newbs in this game to fight over. In the long term it would be counter productive.

    As for 10-100 billion, there's plenty of active allies in that range if you know where to look for em.
     
  17. @grimzzy there will always be inactives. Inactives are almost inevitable. Thank you for your opinions and reasonings! :)
     
  18. @ Seraph I guess there are some benefits to these hunts
     
  19. Accounts getting deleted after 3 months of inactivity isn't completely true. My "You" account has been inactive for about a year and it's still there.
     
  20. Allies with propacks do not get deleted in the standard timeframe, in fact, I'm not certain if it happens at all.
