Most farmers don't play New Recruits, they play low ranked players that don't understand how to play freestyle.

There is certainly a lot of truth to that. I can see why some folks would be deterred by that.demonfork wrote:If Lack gave a 3 day trial account that had all of the privileges of a premium account, to all new recruits, I guarantee that more players would not only stay but that they would end up buying premium when the 3 day trial ran out.
It's a very good idea (have you suggested it?). I know of one site (non-Risk) that gives a 30-day trial run. It seems to work.

I have recommended this site to several friends, not one has stayed. They all independently complained about the same thing, that they were unable to get any immediate playing time.

i think that is the best suggestion i have seen yet to date, DF i think you should create a seperate post just for this suggestion. it would bring in way more money for the turtle man and would bring a heck of a lot more people to the site, and better their chances of staying...

why don't you like people farming the new recruits johnny?
they don't know the map and it's too easy to get wins and points from them
you join thousands upon thousands of games with cooks and privates in order to get easy wins and points from people that aren't good at this game... how is that different?
because they have played long enough that they are fair game...
yes, but you are upset that people are attempting to gain points and wins from easy games, new recruits may be intelligent players or they may not be... the people you play are proven bad players... so how is what you're doing any better?
because CC hasnt said its against the rules yet...
"...glass houses" johnny... put those bricks down

JR, just because you got a Community Medal so you'd stop whining about not having enough, doesn't mean you should dictate.. ANYTHING.. ever.
