or stagger the rate..........so 20% for less than 100m, 35% for 100-200m, and 50% for over 200ml

because a flat 20% would mean that a lot of top players would make a profit under your system.

if you base it off a %, everyone is going to make naq off a ppt, regardless.

I have to say I returned to game some 3 months ago never used a PPt. Now have Bank equivalent of 15 Billion for full market turns.
The PPT is not too expensive

Refresher wrote:blackadder its irrelevant how big your bank is...
one year ago PPT used to cost 3-400 mil.
and for players with 3bil+/turn income , 6 bil price for PPT is a cake
they should pay more as they make more.
also for a player with 20mil/turn income 6bil is way to much.
a percentage from income will make it fair.

no... if people don't have the bank capacity, then they should pay 10 bucks...

mostly becouse a fair game will keep players in and bring more...
and 90% of players are small.
it may be my words fall on def ears.

You want it to be fair?

Play your first 8 months having to pay for PPT with cash like we did...

if you can't afford to buy it in the market after 8 months, then you are doing something wrong anyway.

actually refresher, a year ago the market didnt even exist, so you couldnt buy PPTs off the market.
and really its not fair to the people who've been here for a while to make everything easier to the new people. the people who've played since the game came out mostly equal the top players, they've earned what they have. why should some newb who's played for a month be even able to be equal to them?

Unfortunately this is a game and not real life. And in a game like this, those that come to the party late are at a disadvantage.

And yes, in the old days a lot of players paid real money for a PPT. And this option still exists for new (and old rich) players. Let them spend ten bucks on a PPT if they are not able to pay with in-game resources.

Look guys it does take a bit of effort but as I said only 3 months work on a account built from scratch ( AGAIN ) gives you the capacity to use PPT at will, I don't think that unfair. I have not had to pay cash for a PPT since my return. I have had the advantage of old and new systems. I think the new is totally fair, work hard and you get rewards like in real life. Sit on your backside and don't expect me to weep for you. It also does not reward the wealthy you can buy the game but you can also get there by time and determination
As to whether talent is lost, I have to say one of my ex officers who has played for 8 months has an army of 30 Million. Talent will shine through, if new players want to succeed they need to learn the game.

If anyone wants to learn how to build an army of 2.5 Million in 12 weeks from scratch my advice is learn the game or become an officer of someone who knows!
