Black Market only way to get Resources

And Roket: having a rule that you cannot enforce is just plain daft specifically because you can't enforce it. There is no way to gain 100% proof that any cash transaction occurred except for the two parties involved...

maybe not in 3 months was off didn't think but still could catch up none the less quicker then allowing it is that true? and because it can't be enforced again why should we support it? if it's not allowed then at least you aren't supporting it, it isn't easy as alliances couldn't openly support it and would happen yes but not as much now, so the void would still eventually shrink wouldn't it?

Actually it would very possible, the best way in my opinion is for Jason to himself, or get another person, such as one of the other admins which work for Jason. To become a game operator, they they would oversee the server. Watching certain actions that are flagged like large sums of naq/uu being brokered, attacked for, or sent directly and (s)he would then dictate the appropriate action necessary. In some cases of trading (s)he should be directly involved with. Accounts would NO longer be trade-able without contacting the game operator first and allowing him/her to handle the turning over of the account to another, if needed (s)he could transfer resources from the old account to the new, long as it was not going over the limits. (S)He could also if needed assist in catching multi's and watching IPs. In all honesty it wouldn't be difficult (s)he could actually just make a bot that would send warnings of sorts to look into for the game operator and also send emails to him/her for whatever the case may be.

Also eliminate that market for $$ sections on forums and forbid it from returning EVER!

would cash selling from player to player still exist? well yes of course

would it effectively reduce it? most certainly

how do you differentiate between a gift from someone you know ingame ? someone ascending , your saying youd need permission to ascend ?

well it would be simple if we saw one person doing it an awful lot with an awful lot of people no?

honestly, just fix the part where you loose everything when you ascend... it still sells weapons, ect.. and would it be that hard?

A couple of years ago ( just before Max, Hippy, Rag and others crashed the $$$ market with trade rings ) I suggested a 'fair value range' for private trades, abolishing the 'give' option and limiting private trades to a set number per week for exactly this reason.

Example

1 Mill could only be traded for between say 600 - 900 Bill naq

This would have essential ended the $$$ trade on resources ( although account trading would have continued ). And IMO would have been the best step forward for the game.

Before the market prices crashed $$ spenders didnt get much of advantage for their money ( I remember Naq being sold at $15/Trill and UU at $10/Mill ) but now so many have already invested vast amounts of $$$s at extremely cheap rates it's probably to late.

I like it on paper but to be honest, talk about limiting ATs some people can just pump them out but to be honest I could compromise a limitation of such to see the throat cutting of cash spending
