I've thought long and hard about this.
Until about a year ago, I never played ascended. I built up my account with relative ease to be very difficult to descend. It wasn't overally difficult but it did take a bit of farming. This as you are probably aware SoL is when I joined TL.
Shortly after, maybe a couple of months, you took responsibility of ascended and ever since, the incredible updates have made me extremely interested, at times, I take ascended more seriously than main.
This is the beauty of ascended, with the exception of one instance, money has never seriously affected asceneded. It is a training ground, an area where one can play and not worry about the losses. It's less active, so farming and catching a good farming round is very rewarding.
I feel that adding in perks for $$ would only assist people like me, who do not mind spending a bit of cash for fun. I write this post, whilst thinking of Calesta, Robe and Angelis. Who have spent hours upon hours farming ascended, throughout the period that nobody else was playing it. These people made incredible accounts and now with the intervention of a bit of cash, you will ruin all of their hard work.
I understand that the game is a business and part of your remit will be the introduction of making this a profitable feature of the server. However, in doing so, I guarantee, it will ruin all of your work, making ascended a hated server once again. Please take note of all of the disagreement of this. Then consider the amount of times you saw Jason bring a ridiculous update to our screens.
Please please please Sol. Hell, make your own game on your own server. I'd play it. Don't sell out
