they can do the same thing to you with rams which is EVEN scarier... they can block your gate with rams so you cannot leave your walls to get the ram.. .they can do tons of harassment things with it...
This is a terrible change.... also... some people have been playing long enough that everyone knows where they live and what timezone they are in... if you work an 8 hour job... or sleep for more then 6 hours without playing haven... they will just plant a Ram timed so that the 6 hour period times with you being asleep or at work.... and your dead.
