I believe it would be best if it would be impossible to get ppt over the market.
Only players without ss should have the option to buy ss from it, for all others this option should be disabled. That should lead to a few less ppt users.
What do you think about this. No rant about ppt please only your opinion about the idea.
And if anybody else has stated it before i apologise in advance for not searching well enough. i just had to write thsi down now-

And yeah I agree. SS on market for non SS people. No PPT or SS for others, via market.

Clarification on 'Resource Farms' Rules
The ONLY thing that is not allowed per the above update, is CREATING AND RUNNING AN ACCOUNT SIMPLY TO SELL YOUR RESOURCES FOR REAL CASH TO OTHER PLAYERS.
In short - selling resources for real cash is not allowed, although the occasional sale while still being an active player will not be penalized.
The game was made to play...using it for other reasons than playing it goes against the principles of the game.
Protected Planet Treaty Application (PPT) Limit
The combination of donations or trades that result in getting PPT is now limited to 8 per calander month. This will still allow strategic use of PPT to obtain covert levels, or gather resources for an alliance war, etc, but prohibits continual and uninterrupted time on PPT...
This is a step in the right direction to stop constant PPT'ers.

Yes, this is good. I was going to sugguest something like that, limiting # of times per month.

Boo hoo.
Rules change all the time.
Just because a rule has been in place does'nt mean it should'nt be changed. If it was'nt there'd be 15 players with 200 officers each. Or something else that's been changed.

And if the admin changed the rules so you could get 24/7 PPT again and made it really cheap?
And you complained?
You wouldn't of course, that'd be hypocrticical... Right?

Yes, I'd be hypocritical because of a hypothetical rule change and then you attribute to me a hypothetical response.
In any case, what I'm saying is that the rules change, and don't complain about the change disadvantaging you based on your previous efforts\whatever, but talk about the change as it effects you now.
It's like getting a rule change which gives Tauri 25% more strike, and then me complaining I did'nt get to use this the last bunch of attacks.
The other guy was complaining that people have taken advantage in the past, therefore we should'nt change it, and just let everyone do it. That's not a good thing IMO.

I'm not sure deleting ppt from the market for people with ss is a good idea, because some people can't afford to buy it.
However I do think it should be more limited. Maybe only once a week, either buying it or in the market. This would give people who have a ligitimate reason for using ppt (going away for a weekend or doing a big trade for instance) the ability to use it, while keeping people who "live" on ppt from dominating the ranks.
I thing twice a week is too much, because if you time it right you can actually stay on ppt for 8 days in a row and just keep accumulating naq to make a big jump in ranks, instead of having to actually having to play the game.

For the past year or so, people have found a way.

Once a week is still far too much. At least when you paid for it, you really needed it.

If it has to be left in the market, I would only like to see PPT available for once per month.

the rules have been updated to stop ppt abuse, 8 per month is a fair amount. Not everyone is gonna use all of these

8 per month, thats still 16 days a month, non stop, and i reckon that is still tooo much, forum should just make it about 30k uu, so it isnt as cheap and it takes away some incentive for using it all the time
