Many of you have stated your position that 'ranks mean nothing' and deride those who sit on page 1 as nothing more than 'statbuilders'.

What I propose is a small way of putting a bit of incentive to reach those higher ranks again, because at the moment you are penalised with slower turn generation. Instead of generating G/R points for being top 50 or 100, why not generate APP?

You could set it at 300,000 APP per turn for the top 100, rising to 600,000 for the top 15/20 and 1million for #1.

300k per turn is about 660 million LF on current rates or 6.6 Trillion dmu equivalent. Think of it as your income reward that is out of reach of snipers.

To those that say this disadvantages noobs, your right. But if yours truly can go from scratch to top 50 by doing nothing more than farming inactives in just 5 months then I can't see a problem. After all, this sort of APP is only going to get the big accounts at the very most 1 charisma level a day. It's not enough to unbalance the game already more than present but it's big enough to make a somewhat meaningful difference. Especially since those on page 1 can't really farm their dmu like everyone else who sits with no strike for 47.5 hours a day

I know there are more pressing issues that need to be addressed, like descention and assasinations, but this is a simple addition to the game that can't really disadvantage anyone and is not going to give an outrageous advantage to any particular group or playing style. It's just a little incentive to make those top ranks a little bit more valuable than they are now.

Merry christmas
cheers

I like the overall idea of having a reward for having rank.

ye looks nice

but its better to reward those that kills more kinda ME , and u put bonuses to some stage of ME

As long as ME is fixed, as it stands now with no losses counting ME is nothing more then pointless.

ME presently increases your score if you lose 1 mill killing 5 mill the same as losing 10 mill to kill 5 mill. Kinna stupid.

yep it need a fix up

Actually it needs deleted, but atleast fixed would be nice.

Rank effect on SOMETHING should defiantly be done

Bump for this. My biggest beef is having to drop 1100 ranks every day to get the turns I need to play the game. An adjustment of the 1-800 ranks from 3 atk turns per 30mins to 5/turn would help. (*puts on selfish hat*)

Here we go, higher rank, MORE at, since you need to to keep up there. If people want to get more, then it gives them something to work toward

should be the same for all, period.


The idea behind it is stupid. If you want to give a new guy an advantage then make it a set time, not based on rank. Why its possible for the oldest ascended account to reap benifits for something meant to help flegeling accounts is beyond me.

Probably cause it's based of rank, instead of probably CER. That's probably the only accurate measure of an account.
Rank: Sell all weapons and untrained all covert/anti
Size: Annoy someone who already doesn't like you, and have them remove all your planets
CER: You'd have to do nothing to it from the start, and without raiding, your account would be almost useless

EDIT: But i think this thread is more about helping those whom put their planets out their, then train almost nothing, and just farm inactives

I threw that little bit in about the turns because the people at the pointy end have no incentive to be there. You penalise yourself by trying to get the top rank. The logical end to this is that the 'real' top accounts have buried themselves between 1000-2000. Ergo the ranking system needs redesigning or dare I say it eliminating.

I did suggest a while ago the ranking system be adjusted from 50% based on influence to 50% based on CER but it didn't get any support. Probably because until it becomes like main where you can't continuously day after day sell your weps then nothing will change with respect to dropping ranks.

Ok any further ideas for incentives? slightly faster recovery rates?

who rank up get it rewards auto cuz he dont get farmed

I'm resurrecting this thread because it has merit.
I think some incentive should be given for people to reach rank 1.
