Black Widow - PPT Bug?

Hey I was attacked by somebody who is currently on PPT...
Wondering how this is possible, when there is no market, no trade for PPT and the era must be 7 days old to buy a supporter status upgrade for PPT...

How is it possible, that I was farmed by somebody who is on PPT...

Supporter bonuses do not require the market to use.. if you have supporter status you dont need to buy it from the market for resources every wave and can hit PPT whenever you technically want..

But would that mean that he would have had to buy the market supporter status for 500 million??
That's a big spend at this stage of the game, he's probably spent that much on UP, as he is over 1000 zettatonnes larger then myself.

Although, I did miss the farm fest (again :P)

Disregard, I assume that's what has happened...
5 Mins of farming is quite enough to buy the market SS, So I'm assuming I must have been farmed just before he went onto PPT

or he donated $$ in a previous era. That gives you access to the weekly Market without paying the 500m

Nice to see me being discussed :-)

But I had donated in a much earlier era when I actually bothered to play. Not played for a long time in Quantum but came back for a look. Farmed and then used the Get PPT for a little bit option.

Lol, I was sitting there scratching my head tripping out, like how the hell is he on protection but he JUST farmed me :P

Now I'm scratching my head again as I had 0 naq out, found a good hit, farmed it for 50 million naq, and less then 5 seconds later it was gone and I had been farmed, surely nobody was sitting there watching me cause it was the first and only hit I had done in the past 6 hours, I dont get it :|

Might be an idea to check one's facts before accusing someone next time?
