I've had enough.

The USS bonus that gives ascension without losses is too much.
It gives too big of a bonus, and is completely unfair to those that don't have money to blow.
All this game is about now is money, and don't tell me I haven't been around long enough to know.
I started SGW in 2005, which is longer than most of you here have been playing.
As a player that loves --edit: loved Quantum, and has played since era 3, I hereby quit.

I talk in this color when corporations pay their fair share of taxes and don't evade US taxes by stashing profits overseas.

I talk in this color when the wealthiest top 1/10th of 1% don't own 50% of the nation's wealth.

I talk in this color when the wealthy, influential elites of this country don't have unbalanced influence over the economy, media, and government - allowing to regularly further their own interests.

I talk in this color when the US joins every other industrialized nation on Earth and guarantees healthcare for all people.

I talk in this color when 98% of all new income doesn't go into the hands of the wealthiest top 1%.

You don't need RL money to get USS. True most people get it from RL but there're some of us that don't.

Yes no matter how you do it, someone has to make a transaction.

See this dichotomy between cross server trading and uss trading has always bothered me. Cross server trading is generally despised in quantum; that is, trading resources in main for resources in quantum. Yet it's perfectly acceptable to work over on your main account, sell resources there for $$, then come onto Q and use those $$ to buy USS. I know there is a small significant difference between those two, in that the Q resources you are getting are from Forum as opposed to Joe Public. Also you can sometimes catch people for cross server trading and feeding and you can't police buying of USS. Still though, it sometimes feels like we are drawing an imaginary line between what we find acceptable and what we find unacceptable in this game.

Yes you can buy it with main resources - something that I tried to stop as well because I didn't like it much, but it was said that it's ok so I adapted. I do my best, however, to buy USSs with Quantum resources which I have done in the past and did so now and will continue to do so ;)

Agree with ML, the lines keep getting blurred, and the slope gets slippery-er... HAHA

One thing that is constant, without some sort of support these games would certainly die off...
(Then a pathetic and dejected Affy would have to go in the freezer, find his old 'pork-chop' necklace, thaw it out, and place it back around his neck so at least the Dog would play with him... :( )
What Happened to my Siggy????

Damn it Bernie!!

Affy? or 'Bad Affy'...:

What in the H E double LL happened to the Siggy's???
