I agree with this, because truthfully if there was no money topic where would you find your sellers, and only a few sellers would be known, and trusted enough, and alot of things happen when there isn't a public eye on you, would you want to risk real life earned cash for something like that, hell no, I would even be tempted to rip people off if the public couldn't find it out, no more black listed trator threads, why would we care, it wasn't allowed so you cna't complain it would be cheating lol, it's kinda like a Drug dealer ripping someone off and them then going to the police, lol
I love this Idea! make it a maximum bought a month 50USD it would save this game, and make it cheating if you buy from somewhere else no way to monitor it no, but you coulnd't rightfully complain on forums, as you'd admit to cheating!
JASON TAKE THIS IDEA!

It doesn't matter if you have the goods or not.
You traded with the game for 50$ you get compensated for $50. The trades are logged in the database... they must be, so admin will know who donated and who didn't, therefore who is elligible for compensation if a restart will happen.

since cash is ruining the game then its best at least noty to be around forums, it let u down if u see these kind of deals all around and make u think its not worth playing anymore

I like it Roket. Reduce the monthly spend, and increase greatly the available AT from the market.
Whilst this would cause some people to quit (those that sell for the money, and don't actually play that much) it'll greatly improve the game. Cash rates will ALSO go up, since the chance to find a buyer whom isn't already a buyer will take more convincing to sell.

I actually think this is a good idea and a possible one.
here is what i propose for this to take place.. simple delete the currency forum on here, and dont let people post it.
how this will come in help to the admin? --> people have less access to buy from each other, this means that the admin will profit --> more profit = more attention,
more attention = more better updates.. and im sure all of u want that.
i understand people will be using msn/alliance forums BUT still, the forums are a good way to remove 80% of the advertisement
so forcing the players to buy from the game market, instead of these private sellers will mean that the game gets better for YOU!

And what's to keep people from then posting $ trades in say, General or Spam sections of the forum or creating signatures that advertise their sales? Or advertising account or resources sales in their red titles or planet names? As long as there is a forum and in-game messaging, there will be a cash market... and there is no possible way to regulate that with the way goods and resources can be traded within the current game system.
The ONLY possible method of reducing the amount of resources that one can get for cheap is to re-adjust the in-game black market rates. The competition in in-game black market prices is what caused the rates to plummet and make resources plentiful. Alas, I fear that it may be way too late for rates to go back up.

we get that job to the modz. and yes they can still advertise, BUT their advertising efficiency will be 80% reduced without the forum

... and then I go register on individual alliance forums and advertise. Right now this effort to remove the section is pointless. Those that buy resources know exactly who to go to and will find someone that will fulfill their needs. The only people you'll affect are the new resource sellers.

well lith.... things are complicated.

You buy NAQ for $ for the most important pourpose:
- Build MS
So every naq that you farm / produce will be spent to Build / Rebuild STATS, UP so U can ascend.
Now, you can always say: I've used My Naq to grow my MS and the Naq from $ to repair.. But did you think someone will check those transaction?
maybe at 1 player, but not from 3-400 players.
If you buy a new account, greater than yours that means = your stats will be reduce to "0". It's a Dead End for Admin.
From what I've seen, low amount of AT = less farming. Less faming, less people who will sell NAQ. As long as they don't invested back the naq in AT, so they could Farm again.
So, the AT price will go that high that you can't afford to buy 5k AT only if you hit 3 PPT endings more than 2 tril Naq.
This is the game, that we are all playing. The admin make the rules. And only the admins are responsable for the Death of this game.
Reset to 0 all the accounts or continue, it's the best deal. But, at least, anounce it first with 3-4 mth.
In the end, Main Game active people will be 40-100 at rush hour.

And $$$ Pimp will find another game, where they'll invest their $$$.
Also, if it's continue this way:
The $$$ Pimp will always cause trouble, starting WARs over WARs, that only 1 players could win... because of the big gap between this 2 forces.
And you know, what's next? They'll get borred, find another Game to spent $$$ so they could be the best, and in the end leave this game, sell their accounts.
