Dumb stuff harms the game

[Grumblesaur]

(sieging a POB being medium effort is my subjective opinion, it might even be high effort, but from where I stand a few weeks of credit grinding for the ships and equipment, a few beers with your friends to get organized and a few hours of holding down RMB seem to me as medium effort compared to months or even years of effort put into the existence of an established POB)

It is also easier to knock down a sand castle than it is to build one. It is easier to let a building rot and crumble than it is to maintain it. It is easier to let a country fall than it is to defend it.

Entropy always wins. Stars burn out. Railways rust. Ships run out of fuel. Nobody complains about this concept when the cause is the mere ravage of time, but the minute players accelerate it, it becomes a problem.

Building a base is a risk. It attracts attention, requires resources, and the owners are never guaranteed to profit from it. Eventually, the ocean will come to crush your sand castle, but sometimes, it gets stepped on. This is part of the risk you accept when you build a base. If you aren't watching your sand castle, maintaining it and digging trenches to divert the incoming tide the ocean will swallow it. If you do nothing to repel the joggers, children playing, and stray dogs, it will get stepped on.

There is no creation without risk of destruction. And yet, people continue to create.
