So wasteful. Time is not important.. it will take you a little while to get your APP converted, but hey, what the hell. You get them all anyway. No caps, nice stacking..
But that is my point. It's not a little while.
It's over two months for me to convert APP received for building on main only what's required to ascend. No single naq more than necessary sacrificed. For someone with less planets on ascended it could be even two times longer.
So if I don't wanna lose APP I am prohibited from gaining turns until it is converted and before that happens I will ascend again, so there will be another months with no additional turns. As long as I will be ascending I will play 3 times less than I would be otherwise.
Furthermore after doing the maths it seems that it is even more efficient to let this APP convert instead of gaining more turns and farm. In other words the system encourages ppl to gain more by doing nothing instead of playing actively.
That's why I say that APP received for building just ascension requirements should be gained instantly and if someone wants more than ok, may him wait if you have to.
As to the ppl who build much on main to ascend and gain more APP. Why stop them this way? Even with this there is little possibility for them to match old players, who were building their accounts for years. Not to mention how difficult it is to start playing on ascended. It takes ages before one could start farming reasonable amounts of DMU to build.
