A little bit of background that leads me to ask the question: I was a regular player for a while and built up a few little villages out of the way of most other players (some of which are over 5 hours from the nearest player). I then found myself under attack regularly. Fair enough, its part of the game. I had my crannies protecting my resources so I wasn't too bothered. Then came the trebs which destroyed my crannies leaving me vulnerable. Again, part of the game, I get it. However, when you have up to 7 different players attacking you from a huge alliance, just to keep you from enjoying any aspect of the game, I find it disturbing. Let me elaborate. In less than 3 days my reports box was overflowing. This is over 2000 attacks in less than 3 days, from the largest alliance in the server, to a 4 village player that has never had contact with any of them. While writing this post alone I have received a further 76 attacks. That's only the space of 10 minutes or so. As stated before, they gain no bounty but stop me from doing anything at all. So as the title asks, when does it stop being farming and become bullying?
