I do hate the NPC clearings, but remember it hurts botters as well (not trying to justify the clearings...just saying). I would LOVE to hear the actual process around removal though, just so players understand why farm cities are getting removed.
I think the removal hurts honest player more. When they removed my 10s it hurted as I can only rely on 10s, and I lost substantial number of those. Unfortunately, programs just find another farming ground and they are fine, much harder for honest player to do, if the removed npcs were directly next to the city. Although I do understand the need for npcs swepts, it seems, the system does need some adjusting.
1 make it more random, it seems to mainly hits the same areas, hurting allways the same people
2 prioritaly target npcs other than lvl5 and 10, although the original server npcs will not move unless they are ported out first.
3 do something about the flat filling accounts. This will be pretty hard to do, I guess, but I know there are round, luckily I did not meet them, yet.
