Why, the reason for X Planets was to encourage people to fight more or cluster them and plunder them that way. I don`t get why X planets should get rid of just because you have two x planets that you can`t cluster. Just lose them, if that means losing clusters, you can easily get those back or make new ones. Since this is referring to RT, this should even be easier to do since you are a miner who isn`t tax, but mineral/cg.
The other point I would have to make is, you had a chance to lose them before you had what I assume is clusters on top of them now, but instead decided to cluster on top and being impatient. I am not implying you made a bad move, but planet setup and clustering does require some strategy that avoids this situation most of the time.
Lastly, why should admins fix this when everyone else hasn`t had this problem? It is one thing if many people point out that it should be fixed or tweaked, but to entirely remove it seems like giant step in the direction I think admins do not want to take at this time.
