Some of the biggest challenges currently facing the cards mini game are as follow:
- The Massive amount of issues being answered but not read
- Massive server load
- Lost potential ad revenue
- Card farming is in an arms race to be the fastest possabile.
Issues are being answered but not read
This messes with several metrics that the issue editing team uses. When cards became bound to issues there was a 1000 fold increase in the amount of issues being answered. Most of these resulted in the first option being chosen many many many times more then any other options. This prevents issues editors from being able to identify issues that are leading or poorly worded.
Massive Server Load
This is becoming more and more of an issue. Each time a nation answers an issue that nations stats go up or down and then the server reorders the 86 lists that contain the stats. When farmers come in and speed answer issues this triggers this action many times very quickly and takes a massive toll on the server
Lost potential ad revenue
Nationstates is run on ads you see them in the banner on the side. They might annoy you but they make the game money that it needs to keep it alive. Any solution should drive traffic to the website in a manor that allows the ads to load.
Cards Farming Arms Race
Currently the cards community coders are in an arms race to get as fast as possabile in a means to reach peak efficiency. This cases the other issues presented but it is important that any solution has the mindset to be run at both its peak efficiency and at an average Joe speed.
All Solutions Must Be Long Term
Any solution to the issue must work for the long term not just the here and now. It is important that this can be a long term fix rather then a ban-aid fix.
The Solution May Not be Implemented
