I think Trolls may be overbalanced, but I think the OP’s comparison may do just as much to point out how underbalanced Hackers are. The issue is that Hacker attacks tend to be so extremely long-cycle compared to equivalent attacks in other clbumes, and also that Processing Power is the least available and fastest draining secondary. The frequency in which I run out of PP on tough forums, even with the best PP stack available, is ridiculous.

I have no problem with superpowered Trolls. We’re competing against the game, not other players, for the majority of things, so what another player can or can’t do doesn’t matter too much to me. I do think that Hackers should be given a little more, though, to make harder forums a little more evenly matched.
