There has been some talk on a few different guilds about Inno getting rid of the ability to collect diamonds from different worlds like we are able to do now. Has anyone else heard this?
No it does not - you could still play more cities, you just can't sponge diamonds off from another city. It will definitely help in balancing the game (although it is probably too late now to really do anything for balancing - but at least it is a step in the right direction)That would mean only one city per player account! I don't believe that's going to happen.

Due to the poor thinking of the developers - the multiple worlds allows players the opportunity to take advantage of the cross-world diamond market by creating near-dead cities on multiple other worlds for the sole purpose of building diamond farms - which are a real negative for guilds to have these dead cities in them, as it costs the guild goods each time for the GE and GbG usage, that most (not all) of these diamond farms do not participate in. These players use the guilds for the bonus's that it will give them, in building their farms faster. Diamond farms are a blight in the game - and getting rid of the cross world diamond usage would eliminate most of these near-dead cities to unguilded status. Thereby allowing more players to be in guilds, and guilds to be more active (if they so choose).How a player buys, generates or spends diamonds should be their decision, having cities in multiple worlds is irrelevant
If guilds don't want diamond farmers as members, then just don't let them in.a real negative for guilds to have these dead cities in them
Absolutely. Same for me. I see no point in keeping multiple worlds if it wasn't for the diamonds.If diamond farms can't supply my main city then all my other cities will be deleted. I doubt that many players would quit the game, but the number of active players in each world would drop like a stone.
That also depends on your definition of "active". If the sole purpose of a diamond farm is to access once a day to collect for less than a minute - is that really make it an active city. My opinon is 'no' for that. An active city (as with any game or account) is one where you actually spend time to use. For a city whose sole purpose is to collect in the hopes of getting some diamonds, and then exiting the city immediately after - really, that is just a dead city with a 30 second (or less) purpose. So any stats that are used to base on active accounts, which typically would be those accessed once a day/week (or by whatever metric) are skewed when they really have no activity other than a few seconds each day.If diamond farms can't supply my main city then all my other cities will be deleted.

Yes, but you could also define "active" as simply "logged in". If diamond farmers stop logging in or delete their farms, they are no longer "active". When Inno counts - and sometimes brags about - how many players they have, I'm pretty sure they don't take in to account HOW active the players are. Logged in means active.That also depends on your definition of "active".

That's a very good point, but in some of my diamond farms I do more than collect. I am a member of a guild in 4 of them. I pol/mot guildies/friends/neighbours every day and I occasionally do events to gain more wishing wells/shrink kits. without the diamond income, I would delete them all.That also depends on your definition of "active".

If players leaving the game means, let them leave, there is no use for them in the company since no profit / revenue and they won't make purchase because of their diamond farms.
