PPT Limitations

Here is the idea, this is a war game if I am not mistaken and 4 out of 7 days a week you can be on PPT.....In my opinion that is way too much time.

Some people go on PPT 4 days a week, every week, which requires no skill at all, okay I can understand if you want a spy level or are ascending etc but some people just abuse it 4 days a week.

What I purpose is maybe just limit to 1 per week or something like that.....I don't know about other people but for me this game is getting boring due to the fact a lot of people are on PPT.


That's it I think, oh and before everyone has a go at me I haven't been on PPT since I was a prior (apart from the free PPT you get with ascending) and that was a very long time ago.


If you post in here don't flame me, give a reasonable well put together response.

Thankyou,

~Beliskner.

i am in total agreement with this. I cant peruse the pages without finding at least 60% of the big moneyholders on ppt..all the damn time. Where is the skill in that?

yeah... what exactly defines "excess" are'nt all resources in this game neccesary? If i have 250bill naq and i buy lvl26 for 200bill... im not going to look at the 50bill reserve as "excess" it can go towards weps or UP alot of things!!!.. what the hell is considered excess.???? when Forum set up that rule, but didnt define it, he left the door open for players to define it themselves.. and what happens?...anytime they want to sell to make $$ progit, they call it excess.. lmao

cut ppt to 4 per month and allow 3 ppt's in one week

that way if someone really needs to be on a long term ppt they can have a max of 8 days ppt straight and the rest of the month their attackable

Great idea Jix... this will, as you said, allow a person to save for the things that he/she needs most, but wont take them out of the game completely. This coupled with the transfer loss will inhibit the transferring of UU to other players so they can go on ppt's consecutively one after another for one gain.

I too am of the opinion that all resources are necessary - how can anything be defined as excess when it can always be used to improve your account??

And, I love JIX's idea - a max of 3 PPTs per week, but also a max of 4 per month - means that you can save up for something you need - but are not continuously on PPT 4 days out of 7 - although if you are clever you could still get 12 days PPT in a row! :-D

BTW - this is now added as the official link to limiting PPT in the Common Suggestions thread.

With the reduction in donations that this would create I do not see it having a chance of ever coming to pass.

bet you 99.99% of ppt's are paid for with ingame resources not cash so this would'nt effect forum's income to much if at all
