Hey everyone, I'm a returning player after having been gone from the game for a few months and I come back and it's rebuild mode.  Basically, most of the fun is taken from the game with it on.  Is this the intended effect of this mode?

Just my feedback on what I feel is not a well thought out feature especially considering it effects new accounts which are actively grinding for units the most compared to older accounts which are here more sporadically.  It seems to be counter productive to its intended effect. 

Ok.

Just felt like sharing my experience on the feature.  Just that it's something that might not actually apply pressure to leadership and will just make people wait to start playing again and some of those people just might forget to come back.

It's your game though so you do your thing.  All good on the nyquill lol, it's late actually I should prolly be asleep tbh

I didn't understand the full ramifications of Rebuild until reading this thread so thank you for explaining it Squishy.

However one thing which hopefully can be tweaked, when you explain one of the reasons and what action can be taken. 

"encouraging the users to apply pressure upward."

How can this be done when we don't know who it is that is causing us to go into rebuild in the first place?

Surely a fairer system would be for the person responsible and say his family that are punished, not the whole game?

Maybe it's a repeat offender, who wants to do this to annoy players who are following the rules?

I understand that everyone can make mistakes by not toggling off or the game still picks up that they are active for 10 minutes after they are not. Maybe contacts should get some sort of reward so it's a position that people want?

Just spit-balling guys as everyone I speak to about rebuild finds it grossly unfair on people that have done absolutely wrong.

I think is kind of unfair to everyone pay for something that a few "bad apples" did (or since it's been happening a lot, keep doing!)

I agree with Vincent.

will just make people wait to start playing again and some of those people just might forget to come back.

But you can't participate in any of the Lounge perks that are affected by rebuild until you're 24hr old and the majority of the time rebuild does not last that long, so your argument really doesn't make any sense. 

Pretty sure GreekFreak and his insane credit increase would disagree. 

Catherine, when I made this post a month ago before going IA again rebuild mode had been going on for days on end so it was affecting me.  

I don't really care as strongly about it now as I did when I made the post but we should still try and avoid it and I'll just leave it at that since I'm not going to be able to change anything about this feature. 

I don't it's the right way to look for victims or find out who was the reason for causing the game to go into rebuild mode. 
This is a collective responsibility for everyone in the game, especially the uppers which have not maxed their crews yet and are still recruiting new players to their crews. Everyone and especially those uppers, have to become more aware of this. 

Start to train more people within your own crew to become a sponsor and teach them how you want them to recruit and represent "your" crew. In my eyes, this is only a good thing, learning up people to become a sponsor, and most of us already know how to handle this task.
I can only see this as a way of including your own people more in the day-to-day "business" within the crew. 
The crew leader and uppers should make sure they have enough funds in the Crew Job Account Balance, so the sponsors don't have to use their own funds for that. 

I'm sure we can all agree; we are dragged back way too often into rebuild mode.
It's time for all of us to step up and become more aware of this.
