The Arc should never have been omplemented IMO
– The way it works is equal to inflation for FPs. (Or at least it should have come with a Max level)
But it has been around now for some time
– I do not recon there is really much that can be done about it without making some section of players "pay" for it and come out with angry faces.
It essentially a Dev problem – What the initial intention of the functinality of this GB was I do not know – But it for sure has changed the whole game into a FP investment game and no player can be blamed for bringing the Arc up to very high levels, essentially it makes no sense not to do it if you can as a player.
New players get an Arc early up because it appears that any player can´t really go around this Arc institution and often the result is players not even managing the base part of the game well, becasue their smaller cities are full of High Era GB´s, that in any case will take a lot of time to get to high levels.
Simply a major Dev bummer...
– its, not very cosntructive but that is sadly all I can boil this issue down to
