this is about the 3 trades a week limit on market and ppt ... the limit is ok but it shouldnt effect you from buying other people ppt because when u try to go to the upgrade page it says u used it.

Indeed. Without limits, there would be monstrous abuses.

Yeha but think of it. You can buy PPTs for other people even if you got no more trades; you get someone else than yourself, send cash and ask for him to buy a PPT, a trick that would eventually lead to people being on CONSTANT PPT.

There are limits on PPT for good reasons - mainly to actually force people to PLAY the game instead of sitting behind constant PPT.
Emma Thurman is quite correct - if the suggestion in this thread was implemented, then it would make it possible for someobody to be on continuous PPT - so for that reason alone it will never be implemented.
The rules are 2 PPTs per week - which actually means it is possible to have 10 straight days of PPT (if you ascend). It was set at 2 as that is deeed a suitable level - meaning you can still spend more than 50% of your time on PPT - but not limiting gameplay.
If anything, time on PPT is likely to be dcreased rather than increased.

I don't believe this guy wants ppt limit changed or to be able to be on forever what he is talking about is that once all of your ppts and MT are used in a week you aren't able to using your account put other people on ppt because every time you try it says that you don't have any ppt's left that week even though you are buying it for someone else.

Then what would be the goal of even playing if you just sit there and do nothing ?

Well as long as buying it for somebody else doesn't put them over their 2 PPT per week limit - I don't see a problem!

hm so far my idea was shot down because of people lookin at the negative effects the point of the no limitin of buying SS was for the reason to buy other people SS not my self if u are already over ur limit of 2 ppt donations a week for ur self then u cant recieve a donation to your own account but u could still buy sum 1 else SS and it would count towards there 2 week limit thus not letting people get ppt the whole week but whats the next comment ganna b ?? o bla bla bla instead of lookin at wat is bad and just leaving it at that why not b constructive and think of ways to fix the loose ends???

i doubt any suggestion that increases ppt limits or does not limit it any lower could survive...no one likes ppt **Filtered**

i am not suggesting a increase in any ones ppt's im suggesting that the donation screen be locked out sayin you have used your 2 donations... im only saying that it should still let u put other peoples id's and let you pay for there SS thats all but that it would count towards there 2 ppts for the week
