Not everyone that has SS is talentless. Not everyone who passes some of their UU, Naq, etc to someone else before ascending, does so because they have no skill to rebuild from scratch. Some things one does not because you like them (in fact, sometimes despite the fact that you don't like them), but because it is the best strategy for being successful at this game.

If it is easy for you, then it is easy for others as well. So, no need to change it.

If it moves, kill it. If it doesn't move, kick it until it does move, and then kill it.

Then maybe those players need to talk to you and ask you how you did it, and just copy that and ascend themselves. Really, it's not that hard. But you can't just expect to have it given to you for no effort at all. If you can't play, you have no business in ascension, like it or not.

I may not like this?

I positively hate it!

You cannot force somebody to have to maintain 2 game accounts - they may not have the time, or indeed the interest in doing so. Ascension is a choice and should remain as such. Besides - if ascension was to be forced, then you are effectively limiting how a player decides to ascend - i.e. with what resources - therefore dictating (to a degree) the initial state of his ascension account.

I myself did not ascend until I had almost 5000 G & R points.

I do agree that it has been far to easy for people to reascend - it should have been made progressively more difficult. But this idea is not the answer - I'm not sure anything is that could be implemented fairly for everyone.

And please, stop getting fixated with the Top 100!! It is the Top 1.5% that earn G & R!

what i would like to see is FORCED ascension it would make the players in the top 100 ascend alot more than they usualy would if they dont want to ascend all they have to do is drop out of the G&R area and allow the other players a chance to ascend



how about HELL NO

i have made a decision currently that I DO NOT WANT TO ASCEND, because i do not have enuff time for 2 accounts.

I have been playing for MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS and MONTHS and MONTHS and MONTHS this aint going to happen, because forum explicitly said we get to choose if we want to ascend or not!

I'm with everyone else on this. I DO NOT WANT TO ASCEND! I WILL NEVER ASCEND! If Forum makes ascension forced, then I'm leaving the game and deleting my account. Fortumately, if the past is any indication, that's never going to happen.

It only counts the top 1.5% of ACTIVE players, meaning you can't find out what it is, however after reading a few other threads, you have to be better then 420 or so according to someone who said thats when he started getting them.

it's active accounts, or people could start to multi account, just to decrease the rank to get G&R.

which would be cheating in and of itself... though not very practical.

ive played for about a month now and am ranked around 1080's and i feel the ascension should have been set around 3k to 5k for the first ascension, the bonuses are good but there should have been a limit of 3 as to the number of ascensions you were allowed.

I like the fact that you have to be active and mindful of the game to get a good rank thats why i left kings of chaos, rise of tyrants and other mmorpg's to play this.

Its becauses its easy to get started and the goals of the game arent that far out of reach if you like the game enough to play it 3 - 5 time a week.
