How about we make it so you can only ascend in normal? Make it so the door swings both ways, have the requirements for entering also apply for exiting.

Wrong, in pergatory, you can't trade for PPT, so it's not even applicable. MT's are all free, 3 per week same as normal. GNR is one per turn regardless of rank.

I agree with both of you there. He has seriously exploited the perg system in that regard, and personally, depending on the rank someone stands at, I believe there should be a timetable on the amount of time one can spend in perg.

Nothing real "glorious" or "reputational" about stat building, but thats how you get the rank required to gain GNR. Nothing real glorious about sitting on PPT all the time to do it either.
Clarkey wrote:Therefore accounts should not get Glory and Reputation.
Under that statement, the GNR system needs a complete overhaul. Starting with new requirements for gaining Glory and Reputation points. Because as I metioned above, there is nothing too glorious or reputational about stat building or sitting on PPT to build up GNR points.

People hiding on PPT all the time are those that hide, with the new perg requirements, no one can hide really, because it takes 24 hours of no attacking, no vac and no PPT to enter perg now (if you meet the size requirement), so if someone masses or takes a planet from someone else, they can't enter perg which gives the massed time to exact revenge, however its the opposite for those in perg because if you have the turns, you could steal a planet and return to normal and there would be nothing the other could do about it. So technically, you have it a bit backwards, those in perg hide in normal.
Lore wrote:OK, I agree there is a problem with people jumping from purg to normal. I'll help you address it with Admin if you want.
That would be good, because right now, the door only swings one way and gives those in perg an unfair advantage in hiding in normal if the other doesn't have the turns to follow them into normal.

"You use to be able to be massed" proves even you agree you can not be massed in purg. Secondly, if I can fend off attacks all day long and keep my def and MS due to phasing from crit/nox, then how in the world can you justify ONLY 60 attacks and some sabbs? Point blank, if your active in purg you CAN NOT be taken down faster then you can recover. My crit/nox kicks in at 600AT, you can only take 60AT, so that means it takes 10 people working together to do to you what is done to me by 1 person.
Then this is another issue that should be taken up with admin, I can understand limiting the attacks to a point, however, that being said, it should be reconsidered for the more active players or limiting the number of attacks based on rank. For example, the higher the rank, the more AT's to be used against them, granting the massing of MightyMidget to remove him from rank 1 since
he is hiding in the pergatory realm. That fact cannot be denied, some do use perg to hide, while others, such as myself, use it to build up. Because as you mention later on, pergatory is a great place for raids and farming, there is no denying that aspect. That is why I am in perg, simply for the raids and the farming, where I can typically farm 1-2tril in a day, along with a couple hundred thousand UU's if I choose to stay on longer to do so.
Lore wrote:Now how can you say purg is not hiding? honestly? if its not hiding then why does it even exist?
And my original question still stands, WHY should you get a single G&R point in purg? What are you doing to recieve any GLORY or REPUTATION for? Take MM for example. I have no ill will against him, but he just happens to be showing the flaws in the system. If his DEF is higher then the rank 1 STRIKE then he is infact "untouchable" as it means it takes 10 account to build massive strikes just to give him the same massing an account in normal gets from 1 person. Plus if hes online and repairing then he still wont get massed completely and will repair.
The raiding is fatter, the farming much better, you can't be mased, so how can anyone say its not hiding?
why not just make purg the "ascending realm" instead. you sit there 21 days and ascend till your done them come to main, thats basicly all it is anyway.
See above. ADDING ON: MM has indeed revealed a flaw in the system, adding for more measures needed to bring perg back to its original purpose. Limiting the attacks does not make that much of a dent to be honest, because if you get enough people and all mass one person, you can eventually wipe out said persons def back to its starting state: 0. Therefore, I proposed the limiting of attacks based on rank, also adding in a timetable for how long one can remain in the realm depending on their rank. By increasing the number of AT's used on a target depending on the rank, it does bring back the ability to mass an individual. The timetable idea would kick MM out of perg and into normal where most if not everyone would tear him into shreads for hiding for so long. With the timetable idea, it would have to work both ways so if you were kicked out of perg by the time limit, you could not re-enter perg until an undisclosed amount of time which would vary depending on how long your timetable was for perg.
