Super weapon Bidding

well its there and seeing the high bid is over 1.2 billion I can see where the smaller players are going to be squashed by the bigger ones since the only ones that can afford the thing are on the first page or two..myself I hope its bought and NEVER used no matter who ends up with it. Of all the updates its the worst of the bunch.

The bid is to 9billion now. Did you really expect this ascended superweapon to be worth anything? You should have known that no one but the big guys would ever see the weapon.

I assure everyone no big player will EVER use the weapon on a really low player - that would be moronic.

I do not like this at the moment. Current bid is 400,000,000,000. How are weaker players going to afford to bid more than this. This will just make the powerful more powerful would'nt it.

I was thinking, would it be better if the superweapon only appears every so often but only for one turn because then sometimes the stronger players wont see it.This might give a 50% chance that the bidding will be between the weaker players too.

Maybe stronger players will never use the weapon on weaker players but thats not the point. I think it would be a good idea if weaker player could also have a chance of having an ascended superweapon.

Or the weaker players could become stronger and buy it the fair way - what insentive is there for people to work at this game if even the newest player to the game can get the weapon and whipe out rank #1 with it?

weaker players get stronger but while we are building up our ascended account top players are doubling there power or there income because there already powerful, therefore will alway have the upper hand when coming to bidding on the ascended superweapon.

If weaker players had the superweapon and decended or tried to decend a top player, what would the problem be. So powerful players who can not be caught up now can have superweapon but weaker players have to stay weak, this weapon would help weaker players as they can not catch up.

The ascended super weapon destroys any account instantly, whether it be a top account or a bottom account. If it was able to randomly move to any player then there would be no point to playing the game. It's merely be a wait and see who's account is randomly destroyed next. If you want a good ascended account then work at it, sacrifice some main resources and make some big ascensions. Don't complain and ask what is for all intents and purposes for the admins to randomly destroy top accounts so you can feel cool.

I fully agree with you, my personal feelings on this weapon, is its to powerful, if it did fall into a very small account & they fired it at rank 1, how is that fair, that person has worked hard to get there & deserves the posistion.

The likelihood of a smaller player getting it is remote at best. Anyway, I'd like to see the bidding changed to the lowest bidder instead of the highest. I guarantee I can underbid all of you. :cool:
