I agree that most PPT's on main are probably paid for by in game resources. That is what makes this worse though. It means the amount of cash donations coming in on main is low already. So do you reduce it even more?

theres an ingame option to cut your income by 70%Favre wrote:Some people use ppt to cover themselves while at work. I mean not everyone can bank naq while at work so they use ppt to cover themselves. Most people will get attacked for 8-9 hours of none banked naq.
failing that you can increase your defence and or sell alot of uu

If you are ascending I'd say free, you are entitled to it after all.
Yeah, I'd have to agree with Beliskner... Ascension PPT should be free because you are not going to see the blatent abuse of the feature because of the other costs involved.

Frankly there is just a loud minority that think this is an issue. Only a very small group of us even visit the forums. Of that small group even a smaller group reads this specific forum.
One unintended consequence is that it will reduce some of the teamwork play in the game. Currently I know that groups of players will go on PPT cycles to bank the money to buy upgrades that are to costly for all of their bank to hold. So this will be tossed.
I suppose since many of us posting in here have a good sized bank we do not care to much about this. After all we got where we are and lets get rid of the way some of us did it so we can beat those noobies down.

bingo... updates like this serve merely the powerful players... many (probably most) of whom used PPT as an integral part of how they got to where they are at. taking this ability away from the lesser players just serves as a means to make it even harder for them to gain ground... the players who have used this to get twhere they were would be on an entirely different exponential curve than the players who haven't or haven't yet.

Well to that, I can only say.. that the "powerful" players have made it an art to find their ways around the updates and the rules... taking away the ability from less powerful players is not going to do any more damage than the mere evolution of "finding a way around things". This is just my opinion..but while yes, we would be stripping less powerful players of this ability..we would do the same to the powerful players. So who do you think is gonna be a target when the PPT's run out? The n00bs with 100mill out or the "powerful players" with billions out? Their defense can last only so long.. and for the farmers, the score is only worth it if they can hit big players with big naq... I see where you are coming from god, but their is another side to this.
