Hey
Years I played:
2006
2010
2011
2014
2015
2020
Game is very stable compared to past. I have had no security issues (so far). The game is owned by Chinese company and vast majority of players are Chinese.
The company and Chinese players don't seem to have much use for this website or forum....so I don't know what majority of players have experienced regarding your concerns.
I think most of the people who used to do that have moved onto games with better graphics, larger player base...more money for them to steal basically.
As others have said it's really easy to level up in 2020. You can reach level 120 in 2 weeks . As the "skilled players" used to say...premium, smoke, subs, shared experience have caused a nose dive in skill. It is normal to see BB with no AA, no scouts, strait line driving, dont know their angles, noob charging, precious few can sling shot. Many CL are TW in GB. BW is normal for CV. The play style you see today is their fears come true lol. Its normal & common to see all BB lost before team gets 200k attack. Leeching is ok and acceptable as defined by the duck ships that are universal (http://www.navyfield.com/Community/Forum/View.aspx?num=29224&pagecount=0&page1=1&searchtype=0&category=C02&searchvalue=&sort=5).
But it's still fun :)
Oh, and its common/normal to have 4 xbb6 in a GB
On the other hand if you can regain you playing ability from the past, you can easily farm the current players. Personally I am far off it atm, but if you are willing to put in the time...
