That is irrelevant. The simple matter is people don't want to take the time to actually create something. These games could be so much more if people took an extra five minutes. I am working a full time job and currently participating in other activities such as hiking, training, and a two week survival course. To get rid of economics (that are this simple) from a nation levelled game removes an aspect of difficulty. It appears everyone wants to play with infinite money cheats on and no one wants to lose. I am taking huge risks in YWTWS by going into conflicts on three fronts, and if I lose, then I lose. Now, moving on, I think in a game like this the Industry level should not be tied to a monetary amount per se, but instead purchasing power or creation power. My race doesnt use money, we breed and expand (think zerg or Tyranid)
