Then go play SimCity.

A player is supposed to take every single advantage he can find within the boundaries of the game. Evidently, farming is BUILT INTO the game, since this is a Travian clone/extension.

If newer players have too hard a time to establish themselves, then the developers would have to work to extend BP or decrease efficiency of attacks by larger players on smaller players. However, this isn't neopets, watching your pet city grow. This is supposed to be a strategy game.
