The most logical explanation, and nothing to be upset about: Others work harder.
But it feels so much better to blame it on the monies.

I know I for one love to do that. And judging from what I have read, I am not the only one. *calls on crowd* Who is with me!? *watches crowd walk away*
Yes, I'll work harder when you grow wings and fly away to Never Never Land.

I've farmed over 1.4Q where 95% goes to my mothership and it's still dropping in rank.

Unless you're spending 3600 seconds per hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week farming and buying turns, you cannot logically dismiss the possibility that others do more as you do. Feel free to read ridicule and criticism where none is intended, but do not pretend you are the apex of activity, that no one can surpass. I am sure it damned hard to do more as you do (because, I will say that, you are a VERY proficient farmer), but it is not impossible. My statement is no judgement of your activity, or of how well you perform in the game, because hell, you and I both know no one cares about that.
You have an excellent (albeit known) farming record. Congratulations. But no one, and especially not me, said you should work harder. Just that it is possible, albeit unlikely, that someone works harder as you do. Besides.. if your mothership is ranked in the top 10, there are not many other places to go as down.

There is very very few players in this game that farm a good portion of the day when off PPT, and if they cannot farm over 10T/day they are no where near capable to pass my activity in this current failing state.
The point is..I've seen some of the 'newer motherships' arising from out of the ground out of no where simply due to cash and dislike of being whooped.
My mothership is probably the stagnant position of rank 12-15, only jumping each time one is massed. The point being..there are people who just jump their motherships simply because they cannot stand losing, and then when they do..they simply rely upon their resources they purchase to continue said growth rather then learn how to play this game correctly. Albeit, this is not a stab at anyone..I know there are some who use spare cash to buy extra resources then use the rest of their time to farm when they can.
The only person you cannot beat in farming is our dear Deni, she farms way to much for a human.

Ive found each time im in a prolonged conflict with bigger MS's I work alot harder on mine. My MS used to be around rank 120 before FS war, I was happy with it until they ground mine into dust. I then worked on mine until it was top 80.
Then TA Massers declared war, and it got raped again

So I worked on it some more, and got it to top 60. Now its been raped by mayhem, and ive got it to top50. Still got plenty of work to do.

Man these cash built ms are bs,, I havent spent any cash on my ms,, I faught sisu for over 3 months and watch olavi drop major money into his account and MS,, enough money my hot rod could be on the road,,
My ms was crapt, I still farmed the naq and dropped theres that is when they didnt send it of to protect there investment,
My ms probally still would be crapt, but Much thanks to AG thorta for his 99 tril donation he left out for me, from there my ms has and is still growing, I gave up on trying to save up Im doing what everyone else with no money to waste on game dose, Sell army and invest,
As far as skill still being ion the game, there is hardly any ,, it is all about who has the most money to spend,
You all want skill back in game make it so that if you are fighting you have no nox protection,, cause thats true skill fights with no nox

So quick to act JT, im sure your MS is cash built to. Atleast I can say my crappy falling apart MS is all pure lazy built. XD
Still works wonders on some accounts though.
As I said before, spending cash to improve an account is weak and low. Its an advantage most of us cant use because we spend our money on things that actually mean something, like food, a car to get us to work, a roof over our heads. You know, the things us poor people scrap by at the end of the month to try and cover.
Put a nipple in it, Mine is built with $$, with farming (allot, and I mean allot) and donations from my family..if you cant keep up or dont want to keep up then thats your business. Bottom line is nothing has changed really, I jacked dat azz before I had a MS , what I have now is fruit of labor. DEAL WITH IT cause it gonna change

In my opinion, keeping MS when ascending was one of the worst decisions ever made in this game. It was made so that new players wouldn't cry about losing all that naq. Very few of us actually predicted the fallout that would eventual happen, and it's upon us.
Would be nice to go back to the way it was. Want a huge MS? Then you don't get to ascend. Want to ascend 30 times? Then you'll have to wait to build your MS.
When the decision was made to keep MS after ascention, I didn't fully understand why it was done at the time and still don't fully understand why it was done.

hard work? omg... do you think ppl spenigng money on game are stealing money in RL? all my money were earned by hard work and everyone who has some extra portion of money earns in RL by work... not stealing.
well... these days earning money is much harder than to farm naq

am i right ppl?

I will agree with you C2. I work very hard and in the extreme heat and extreme cold, it is a hard job..I find farming naq to be so much more relaxing.

Why quote me and then talk about stuff that is out of the original context? so OMG??!?! I'm pretty sure i KNOW people earn their money outside of the game... I KNOW its harder to earn money in real life then it is to simply farm naq in game?
I don't care if people spend $$ on their accounts, that's their business.. you make money to spend it dont you? why should people care how they spend it RIGHT?
I know people like JT spend money on their MS i know that he isn't purely built on cash, he has put the hard yards on his account, I'm sure other players have as well and mines terrible regardless. That's all i ment by my statement.
And yes of course, my crying at the end of the statement was simply the fact that my MS is terrible. So in future, don't go off thinking that I'm thinking something as ridiculous as "All cash spenders steal their real life moneyz WTH?!?!?" ....
