Which again, forces you to play a certain style of gameplay, which was already mentioned as a no go.
That makes no sense. Ajna is the most well rounded, so we are being forced to play ajna! That is what you sound like. My way has pros and cons so it forces nothing. It discourages snipers, so what you said is opposite of what would happen.
Ajna, Tolah, Ori, Indu.. its irelevant. These stats gained when you ascend are only on your initial ascention. After that its all down to where you put your LFC into.
So no, we arent forced to play any race, its just a matter of style and name preference.
to start, im Ori, Not ajna. Because it sounds better. And yet my account is well balanced.
That isn't true. You get more LF converted the larger you are so it wouldn't encourage you to have no planets. It only encourages activity and in no way forces you to choose a play style. a hunter would get the same as an assassin or sabateur. You can build any way you like. The only thing it discourages is leaving everything untrained and getting larger through inaction and taking advantage of the size bonus (current style which forces you into a play style by your logic - inactivity). Basically, if you are OK with the size bonus but not with the build percentage bonus because it "forces a playstyle", you are a hypocrite and part of the problem.
Edit: Also if this was applied, I highly doubt it would be linear, but modeled somewhat based on the size bonus where you get the majority bonus gain between say 10 and 50% (10%=5% of bonus amount linear/curved up to 50% = 95% of bonus amount), then a trickle bonus amount after 50% up to 100% of the bonus amount (100% of the bonus amount, not a 100% bonus BTW).
Your really not getting it are you.
You cant have it depend on any variation that revolves around how you run your account / planet stats.
If it relies on anything like that, you are influencing/forcing people to play a set way just to get something that should be given to them without having to compensate for. Your asking them to increase planets, or decrease planets or perform x amount of attacks. It means they are forced to stop their plans, their wars, their farming, their stat building, their sniping or any other play style you can think of, in order to cater to how this new method of conversion demands.
It should not demand you to act any other way, but how you personally want to.
The point is, it already forces you not to farm as much and stops you playing on a level footing with others. They can use double the turns you can, and the old numbers in this thread are outdated, as now people are farming even more with 4k AT's then previously, which means the 1t cache a day you can get (which you dont, because even with 40b planets you dont get 1t cache/day) that equates to 10q DMU actually inhibits the amount you can farm, and therefore how much you can compete with others.
The current system already forces you to be unable to compete with others. And the answer isnt "just hit the refill AT's button then"
Then your saying people should lose out all their hard work on main and ascended, all they invested from the past, so they can move forward in the future. Your preventing people who invested time and effort from progressing into the future stages of their account growth by forcing them not to use this refill button.
So if nothing else, you should remove the APP connection with this button, and use another currency or a simple timer. It is not that difficult to add a timer to the button, compared to spending a resource thats generated over time. There is a turn change time in real time like a stopwatch, so you can easily add the same to the trade button.
But that only fixes people being forced to fall behind. That still doesnt solve how pitiful the APP conversion rate is.
And if none of the reasons given already are enough, how about the simple reason that
"we just want it, ok?"
Look at the poll - 80% have voted to speed it up. thats 80% that your disappointing by just ignoring over sheer stubborness and arrogance. If those people are ignored, what happens to the game? If customers/clients arent happy, what do they do?
By continuing to refuse to adapt to consumer demand, your going to kill off activity levels, interest, loyalty and ultimately the player base.
Stop posturing, procrastinating, and being a stubborn ass. And do what the majority of people have asked.
