Hate seeing veteran teams go bot. Increasing the allowable inactivity period may help retain players. And even if they're not coming back, I'd rather play against a stagnant team than a bot. I was pretty excited about my game tomorrow, but now I realize they've just turned into a bot.
Here are my suggested times: If you are a supporter, your inactivity period can be 60 days. If you logged in only once or twice overall, your inactivity period can be 10 days. If you aren't a supporter and you have logged in more than 20 times since your account was created, your inactivity period can be 30 days. If you aren't a supporter and you have logged in less than 20 times since your account was created, your inactivity period can be 15 days. In all of the above scenarios, you will receive an e-mail 3 days before your account gets closed. Supporters can enable the Bot block in their settings. This will avoid going bot for 12 weeks. |

This will not help.
Typical manager lose interest and save the team for maybe 1 or 2 times after 14 to 21 days of inactivity and then don‘t bother any more. In that period the teams usually do suffer, so are not really worthy opponents. Extenting the grace period will just extent then suffer period. Yes, some teams, a fraction, have other issues, but most just lose interest. |

Yes, some teams, a fraction, have other issues, but most just lose interest. my friend that just joined rza, van, is somewhat busy at times and he may have long periods of inactivity... so 30 days of inactivity (he'll log in more than 20 times in next month) will really help, and it would help all of us... look, here's what we can do: lets modify this great idea. (NON SUPPORTER) If you have logged in less than 25 times, your inactivity period is 7 days (it stays the same; this makes sure that those not fully invested will turn BOT If you have logged in more than 25 times, your inactivity period is 30 days, (increased) (SUPPORTER) Block BOT for 9 weeks; Supporters inactivity can be 50 days... Look, I have never been part of a game that has deleted your account if you didn't log in in like a few weeks; Generally it is a month at least. Here's another idea as well: Keep the inactivity times; However, don't delete their account; the team becomes BOT; AND the spot becomes open to NEW Managers, but The manager CAN log in and this saves the team from BOT status and makes them NON-BOT, it resets inactivity status... I know this is a more complex idea, but come man, I do agree that some of these inactivity period stuff is a bit too harsh, so I'm totally ON BOARD with this idea. Come on man, Most managers just QUIT after 5 log-ins, so I don't see why we don't want to extend the grace period for MANAGERS THAT CARE.  THUMBS UP FOR ME ALL THE WAY! |

As said, an extended grace period does basically just extend on 90% of the cases the zombie accounts, which do not help and which do keep the league balances a bit off.
I can understand that some people have longer periods of not login in, but then the game is just not the right game for them. Even it is slow paced, you should care for the team at least 2 times a week and such managers don't have a problem. Just those not caring for weeks. Remember, this is basically a non-commercial game, so any balast on the database does cost money the owner has to pay. Sure it's likely not every bit and byte, but every not needed account gone is money saved. I can only state my point of view. |

No. They don't. And as to address the other concern: Sometimes people are busy, and they don't have all day to invest in this game, and they can't log in for a few weeks... they come back... NO!!! my progress is all lost... after 2.5 years........ now I have to start over as a bum BOT team... Look, I understand the point of view you have; why would u want stagnant accounts, get rid of them sooner... sure, I get that. Then follow my second suggestion; let them log-in before their spot is taken; then they are done. But the fact is, 99% of newbies don't stay, and that 7 days rule covers them. The rest, the 1% (I am one of that) stay and continue playing and are invested. So I get your concern, but I don't think they are something to worry about. Why would you want to get rid of human teams? Keep them a bit longer, man. THERE ARE PLENTY OF SPOTS FOR new players, Less teams BOT, more competition in league, Maintains competitive balance. Look, I get your opinion, and fine stick with it. But I don't see why you wouldn't want humans to stay a bit longer, making League more competitive maintaining competitive balance, and like I said, 98% of these deleted accounts are newbies. |

I think you have the wrong impression. A team does not get bot, if you don't login 25 teams at the start. It goes BOT, if you don't login regularly, and the period just depends on some factors. Any new manager login in, say 2 times a week for a second, stays active and has no problem. He can manager the team for years. Sure it can happen, that someone needs some time off, but there is a) the BOT block, b) no need to do big session, just login and logoff. In a time almost everyone has a smartphone and is online all day it's tough to ask for ONE login within 21 days? Pfffff. I just posted my u p d a t e on the Monarchs situation and I did scan every team there. A team not managed regularly, suffers, crumbles, it's bad. So why support that kind of management even longer? And the reason why 97% of new teams do fall BOT is, and was since the start, people come in, create an account, look at the game and they don't like it and leave. Period. Whoever does invest those say 2 days a week stays for weeks, months and years. The rest leaves and never comes back, so why increase that period, if they don't come back anyway? At the end Peter will read this and will decide, but the rules are there since the start, so I don't see, why this suggestion should change his mind after 10+ real life years. It will NOT help on the general decline of active accounts. My opinion. |

So there is no bot block and I understand the point you make, that's why I'm just calling for a increase by a week and the point you make is valid, I'm just saying if someone is busy and they don't have supporter, they leave, and whoosh, their account is deleted and like I said, wouldn't you want to have some human teams stick around? Maintain competitive balance? So if you want to go to this route, then just make BOT BLOCK something EVERYONE can do, because I don't see why not. |

also, why do you want more teams to go BOT? it seems to be your opinion.
I mean there are plenty of spots for BOT teams and new managers, and it would help make the game more competitive. So I get it, 21 days is a lot, but then just make BOT block a feature for everyone. I really do not see the cons of adding this, I mean it would be a win-win for everyone. |

Yes, some teams, a fraction, have other issues, but most just lose interest. Okay then keep it the same for new teams but increase for teams that have been playing awhile. It is the veteran managers we should be focused on keeping around. And those teams will always be better than bots even if they’ve been inactive for a bit. Imagine taking a month off and then coming back and your team is gone. Very few would want to start from scratch again. |

Last post on this, since we are going in circles.
I don't want more BOTs, I would love to see more human managers. But those not login in are not helping either, those teams do just suffer. As said, a non commercial game essentially and yes, the majority plays for free. FREE. Peter needs to manage the database size and the accounts, I think we are on the same page on that. A manager not login as non-supporter does not even generate some click-money, just nothing. Why extending that? For the comfort of that 1 or 2 teams having the problems you discribe? Seriously, the period for non-supporter is 3 weeks without a single login. If someone cares for the account, the manager manages to login that 1 time in 21 days. Wifi is everywhere, mobile is everywhere. Yes, some might fall off the grid, because the went into a place without that all and come back after 21 days and all is gone. But if it would have been so importent to him/her, why no supporter and why not caring more before this unusual thing? As far as I know, some DID write to Peter, he is usually active, so it's possible, and they did tell him about a longer leave and as far as I know, Peter did something. So caring, managing the account does work. You ask for a lazy manager to come in every 4 weeks and suck managing. We have 2 to 5 teams in Monarchs region like that. I wish they would at least explain, why they do treat their teams so poorly. Such teams do just unbalance the game. Block playoff spots, whatever. I understand where this is going, but I don't think it will help, it will just prolong the zombie phases and maybe 1 team out of 190 will really take advantage of it. |
