Title: Starving Dinos
Post by: Liberator on March 30, 2016, 10:59:20 AM
I'm sure none of us mind popping in and feeding Dinos whilst someone is away on holiday, working all the hours under the sun to keep people alive or real life prevents them from playing games.

That said, I'm annoyed at the latest reason for asking someone to feed their dinos,

Not playing because I'm too busy playing other games, please feed my Dino's for me.

Asking for someone to feed your dinos whilst you are not able to access your computer is the same as asking the neighbour to pop over and feed the fish and water the plants whilst you are away from the house on holiday.

The latter is like asking someone to come around and feed the fish and water the plants whilst you are sat in the same room playing with your new puppy and can't be bothered to spend half an hour away from it.

My feeling is that we have alerted people to the fact their dinos are dying and we just keep posting the names as they starve to death.

I see Pen put it more eloquently in the forums and got the point across.

I hear you Lib, and personally, I thought it was cute people doing the feeding for people who are on holiday etc, but for example, myself, I'm not playing, and the sharks have died etc, but it's no worry, I havent played, so I pay the price, and that's how it should be, I totally agree with you.

They are chores to feed, so if people aren't taking the time to feed them, for no good reason, then let them die lol :D

What he said! Just out of pure interest, does anyone know if there is a command/setting to either slow down consumpution or reduce radius activity on the server? I don't disagree  with anything said as I have been thinking this myself but it seems the druglords' dinos lasted for a good time before dying?
