wow you guys are all so rich (and not talking about real cash here).
I can't pull off ascensions every 2 weeks.
Kudos to those that can, and i must agree with the fact that without that wait you could just be PPT'd all the time.

So let me get this straight, after being a way for a week.
The biggest qualms for faster ascending is the waiting, and possible infinite PPT correct?
"Sept 7th, 2007"
"10) 14 day period (minimum) between ascensions ... "
This happened after people were about to ascend the first 10 times with not time delay.
If anything, the delay should be based on ascended level.
0-10 = no delay
11-18(or something) = 10 days
19-23 = 14 days.
This way, at least the newest players can get to what seems to be the "bare minimum" of 6 ascensions quickly if they desire, to start being able to compete.
The next lot are slightly longer. As your getting more powerful, you need more time to re-coup. And so on
Re-guarding the infinite PPT, why not just make it such that you can't PPT 3x/week, no matter if you ascend. If you've PPT'd 2x that week, and you ascend, get ready for a fight, cause your not gonna have PPT, and will need to build quickly. Otherwise, save the last PPT for when you ascend, so you can gain some protection whilst you prepare your account for the game again

its a coding issue and a $$ issue. You know Jason will not act on anything that can cost him $$ so I doubt you will get the "no 3 PPT's in a week" idea to go anywhere.
I personally never really got what was so bad about long PPT's. Ascentions are limited. Period. If they are on PPT then they are not bothering you either.
I like the idea of the higher the ascention the longer the time between them, and I also like the idea of no wait between the first 6. Would help new accounts to become competeative. But no matter what you do, someone will get screwed and cry because they can't see past their own account.

True, but until the first update to introduce the delay was done, they could ascend just over 2days each. All 6 done in like 2 weeks. But now, any new player must take 2 week for the first 2. And now 6 takes 2.5 months

yeah,but let's be honest, for a new player (not a new account), the wait is atleast 3 weeks, just to gather the G&R. and it's not (very) easy for a new player to get into G&R (unless he is using $$). i mean, no ascended bonus, a small MS, and no clue about how the game works. it took me about 3 weeks to get into G&R, and i like to consider myself a fast learner.
