So basically you are complaining because for 2 years the pendulum has been push far to your favor but, now it is not? I say leave the rank mod to give the rest of us a chance to a least get in the small ball park with the top people or people will no longer enjoy the game and quit.

No the pendulum was not pushed over to our favor. We PULLED it over to our favor by playing the server, doing powerful ascensions, and being patient. Some of us don't have an "instant gratification/video game" mentality and actually exercised some ingenuity and strategy. The pendulum was PUSHED into your favor by an outside force (admin) and his ridiculous updates that deballed the top accounts and made ascension a joke.
Now what I am saying is that, since people can now buy ridiculously high LFs, channelings, and flows, the damage caps and rank modifiers are no longer necessary. It can go skill vs. skill once again, as nature intended.
Hey! You guys just got 2.5 quadrillion DMU worth of levels for nothing. Let us get something out of this update.

For us people that did not start Ascention on the very first day, it was and still is impossible for us to catch up. Even if our up was the same, which I highly doubt it is, you still have millions more planets than us small players.
I am tired of being farmed all the time and my DMU being sold. Is this StarGateWars or eBayWars?
I feel like the caps should remain to protect smaller people from being wiped out in one attack from the larger players.

Well now it is possible for you to catch up and it was completly at OUR expensive, I feel like smashing your accounts right now just for being so god damn arrogant and greedy.
I really do hope the caps and stuff are lowered, sinc they are huge and now we are all more equal theres no need for such big caps.
Small guys got what they wanted, now its our turn to get what we want. Right?

So yes the server is balanced, if you suck , you will always suck you arent going to be given 1 bil planets for free, you will have to work to catch up, but now there is a possibility of doing so where before there was none.
Thus rank mods and caps e.t.c e.t.c are no longer nessecary as they were only put in to stop players who has a massive advantage from using it too extensively, now they dont have the advantage, shouldnt need the restrictions or such harsh restrictions.
I ll rephrase your statement to match my personal opinion:
Ascended server WILL become BALANCED...its NOT YET...
Anyways my perosnal opinion heh No Comment...

I am aware of that fact, but in principle it is the same thing.
The rank mods dont need to be completely removed they can be lessend and lessend more and more in stages as the game begins to balance out a bit more, but that process of balancing is already happening, so the process of reducing rank mods to make game play fairer has to start aswell.

Question:
With all the complaints about the rank mods and stuff, was I like the only person to not jump up like 300 ranks from the update? I lost like 300 ranks and suspect it was due to not powering up my charisma. And just so you know it's not because I'm an idiot and lost rank because I suck, it was because I wanted to. With raiding out of the way I suppose the other 'easy' way to do it is to have someone mass you.
I suppose I gain the most of the rank mod stuff is kept in place, not so much if they are removed. Either way it doesn't really matter. I've been looking to lower my rank somehow to be able to descend those 'useless' accounts.
