Out of all the players in the game, I don't know any who have invested more time than Sextus in trying to understand the game coding, and how to play the game properly, and spent so much time trying to raise a tiny, poor, weak realm to a decent realm to be in, and so it is incredibly annoying when other players, who pretty don't have to work for anything in their realms, and basically for a majority of their existence, haven't ever had to try and claim its unfair that the small, poor, weak realms actually turn themselves into something, with what little they have.
And this, here, is the crux of the issue. This sort of power-gaming is detrimental to the game as a whole by establishing an image in the minds of players involved that there is a "best", "right", or even "correct" way of trying to
win a roleplaying game designed around a concept of trust between players.
