tHere isn't a rush to ascend anymore.

Can the cooldown be lowered from 14 to maybe 10 days?

Well actually there is a rush LOL

and the cooldown was in response to stopping cheats/exploits.

I never knew why it wasnt removed before now. I'd like to see it removed as well but doubt jason will do it.

I thought they were put in to slow down 'speed ascending' which they certainly have but given how it doesn't matter how much you ascend with now for your ascended account, speed ascending or power ascending makes no difference.

Though I'm not sure every 10 days is a good idea, given that you'd see a heap of people on permanent PPT until they got to the final ascension.

it was from suttles and a few more ascending daily as they could produce resources at will. They took base accounts to LG+1 in a week with the "dirty" resources.

below rank 140 you 5 gnr a turn so if there was no cool down they could ascend every 2 days.... so a new account could get to the 24th ascension in 48 days if they had the rescources

Actually it takes u 4 days to gather G&R points, since a day has 24h and there are 2 turn changes per 1h, so 24x2x5= 250G&R points, when in the 5G&R point range, so multiply that by 4 and add 1G&R point more and u have and ascension on 4days+ 1G&R point...

In the past there was for a long time no cooldown, till a bunch of hackers/cheaters managed to ascend each day... after that the cooldown got put into place. I reckon that it won't disappear totally, but the amount of days between can be lowered to ... let's say... 4-5 days inbetween

and yeah 4-5 days would be awesome i could power ascend like a fool to ag instead of sitting in 1 gnr taking same time as 5gnr per turn would to ascend

@ The Anger: cheating, hacking, something like that. One thing is/was sure: it was no fair play
