Selling (for $$) ascended 'perks' what do people think? I refuse to allow the selling of direct resources, i.e no turns, dmu, APP, lf, planets. So the other thought was to just sell helping things (and nothing permanent, so no increase in any powerup, CS, etc).
Basically forcing people to still put in the hard yards but just helping them, how often you can buy something will of course be limited, as will be some combination of things. Ideally, we all wish for a free world, but of course we are far from ideal.

Well, there is the theme choice option, or maybe a custom title option. I think it would be cool (as a helper option) to change the spy ratios a bit so maybe you don't need 5x someones spy but 3x to see someones stats on the cosmos page. No huge advantage there, but would make things a little bit quicker. Maybe a cosmos page reorganization for people who donate. Make it so that the people you can see with the most DMU are ordered first on the page from top to bottom with "???" being listed on the bottom. Again, not really getting an advantage since you get no new abilities, but makes things a bit faster when scanning pages.

I want to keep titles out of reach of $$ as well

, it will depreciate any other title received.
Spy ratios...yeah... could be generalized to say a double covert for x amount of time thing. As for the ordering, perhaps a little too powerful

.

I don't see how ordering the page is too powerful. You are not getting any extra information at all. You would be seeing exactly what you would normally see, just in a different order. Just saves a little time.

You think it would become a copy of main because I'm asking if something should be able to be bought on ascended that would far from destroy the game? (even though practically every game in existence has a way of producing income that doesn't come from ads). Half of that sentence doesn't even make sense.

A 'little' time is why it's too powerful, it is not little time

and the possibility of finding good hits would be colossal.

I would see your point if there were 50k pages in the Cosmos section. But being only a couple hundred pages, Any good hits will be found anyways. The difference in time would actually be very small. I can scan through the pages myself pretty quickly, though most are "???". I also wold see your point if you implemented the ratio change (In my opinion the ratio change is actually more powerful than the page order). If that was implemented, then the order change may become a little too powerful.

$$ for perks that don't upset the game. I think this thread is for thoughts and ideas on how to do that.

I don't like agreeing with Guild, but I agree with him 100%
I don't mean being able to buy actual CS stuff with $$ but anything with $$ on asc
