Exactly. The fact that many (possibly most) people get away with this stuff is inherently unfair.

Before someone gets all high and mighty and scoffs at me, I'm sorry, but with Age I, lugging around millions of mechs on a daily basis is just not possible without SOME sort of cheating. Maybe you don't bot, but if you don't bot, I guarantee you that you have multiple accounts feeding you extra resources. I spent 14-16 hours a day back about a year ago for a period of a couple of months to just barely be able to support a 1 million phract attack force, so you can call me "lazy" if you wish, but I've got enough experience to know that the people lobbing these large mech armies around aren't doing it by themselves with 1 account and no botting. Period.
