Cog HQ has brought out some bad behavior all arround. I have had to change the way I play because of it. The fact that everyone has access to it and it toons under 50 laff swarm like flies arround it is horrible. first they are all following you arround asking to be your friend when there is no space, then they tell you you stink constantly because you tell them "sorry, I cant", and they continously teleport to you again and again. then they get in you way when you try to get into the elevator to make a factory run, they won go by themselves they all want the high laffers to go with them (and them only, cant have any other low laffers trying to go with them , no). I used to not worry about them and make my run with a friend, and if any stowaways came and kept up with us, no problem i thought. A factory run with extra baggage doesnt waste my time. Then on to the VP where everything changes. I spent a few hours getting my parts and some very low laffers want to go with the biggest toons they can find, and wont let the big toons go. This wastes a hour of time doing the elevator dance. If we let them go along they will definitely go sad, we will loose and I have to waste another couple of hours getting parts again.
So I have changed the way I play, I used to help out eveyone no matter what. Now it is the higher laff toons that have to take on the roll of suit gardian. If you are a 50 or less laff toon and you stow away with me on the elevator I will bring you all the way to the center silo and then you are on your own. I usually will pass my first two turns on the center silo, this weeds out anyone that should not have a cog suit. Because if I pull them through and hand them their suit on a silver platter this will waste someone elses time when they try to stowaway on the VP elevator. I figure this way the low laff toon that stowed away with me has wasted no one elses time, other than their own.
Now I have seen larger toons, in retaliation, getting on the elevator, and teleporting out of the factory right away, to their friend still waiting in front of elevator. This works I guess but I dont do this, I like to give them the whole factory tour, this keeps the "young toons" off the steet where they are causing trouble
