one reason could be they are working for weekly siege ranking and are holding sub level 10's as they know they are unlikely to be resource farms for others 

Do you think that justifies battling novice players?  Do you think a limit should be placed on attack ability like the three day limit for new players?

I see now that these two players earned 3000 drachmas for these sieges.  I understand the motivation now, completely.  However, it is not in the best interest of new players and Plarium should examine this policy as it makes it possible for these players to easily earn drachma that otherwise would be hard fought for or bought!!!

The majority of the low levels being sieged are players who have QUIT the game so it doesn't really matter. New players Do get protection for so many days, but most of them don't use it and instead attack people which nullifies there protection..You could also do the same that these players do to earn weekly drachmas...

Hey,

If you think, he got 3000 drachamas easily, why dont you try for it? You say its easy to get top in siege ranks. 

You just try to get top in one week, then you wont say he got it easily. You are not the only one who thinks so, many try for them too. But then only they understand the real picture. You dont know the hard problems a sieger should face in his life. 

I am a sieger. I never felt, i got drachamas easily. 

Please avoid criticizing without knowing anything about a topic.

Indeed, it is everything but easy :p

Well, not complicated for sure but extremely long, trust her...

you get protection from Leonidis for the first week of the game and it is easy to get past level 10 on the first day, if a city is level 10 or below this would strongly suggest its a dead city as the level of development would be higher than 10 after a week of protection
