i thought it was not meant for such use .. or better say trading resources wasnt allowed on asc , thus no option for market ,etc.
fact is the weapon was sold and dmu distributed over every player ..
in a matter of minutes the dmu was farmed and such the dmu was traded over other accounts.



dude everyone farms that DMU every single time its sold its part of the game.... who cares some people were prepared some weren't just go with it.... its not trading he just put a higher price on it because he could.... and that someone has stated who he was so how do you figure he was trading DMU accross accounts when everyone could have done it had they of been online when the auction ends..... it wasn't cheating it was ensuring that he got the weapon end of story.

We mentioned this awhile ago to Forum Pef. Heck, he knew how it was going to be used before he even introduced it. The is actually why he made 50% of it get spread across accounts, to decrease its job as just transferring resources. Before he did this I didn't really care for the weapon. Now I think it is fine. The hundreds of millions(and in this case, billions) that are distributed can really help small players if they are active when it is sold. Given, it still helps the person receiving the other 50% much more, but meh, whatever :P

I consider myself being small player and I have to admit... I really enjoyed yesterday's farmfest on ascend :D

Anyone who saw the bid price should realize what is going to happen... Everytime people are farming over there but from 500bn DMU and yesterday it was 18 times higher... Anyone could enjoy that :lol:

It wasnt like a PPT being given or dmu sent on login .. no .. dmu was just spread around for the taking ...



lol my account is very small..... only about 35k planets and i had a blast with this thing.... i even posted on the Ascended forums what it was going for so that people that were to lazy to check cosmic trade would know what was going to happen come on now get over it..... don't cry because you didn't get in on the farmfest and lost 2 bil dmu.... it was fun and thanks to the person who did it. can a mod move this as there is no way this is cheating?

Honours and Awards

Just remove the SW its pointless anyway.

Pef, Admin was told straight up in the beta server the weapon would never see the light of day. He agreed to it. It wouldn't matter if nothing but enemies got the DMU, Sinister and Mojo would do what ever possible to keep the weapon out of the wrong hands. If anyone is getting screwed here its Mojo and Sinister. Period.

The SW is the second worst idea in the game and the most pointless. Admin can already see the weapon will never see the light of day, but he still chooses to punish only the highest accounts with it.

Anyone could check the time it was being sold. It has been happening for several weeks now, just in smaller amounts. Any player can see what time it is sold though, so maybe next time it won't be 'such a small group'.

Any one could of farmed. You were told when it started. Plus it was not a conspicary. You could of made billlions off of 1 weapon. Do not tell me that this is a conspicary by the big players to get DMU. That is a joke.

personally i quite like the SW... its helping smaller players catch up, which is what everybody wants, right? so what if the super weapon never gets used? 2 bil, (even 100mil) is a LOT to small players like me. this way only the active players are getting the benefit out of it as well, while the inactive ones get farmed :twisted:

so whats the lesson here? be active when the super weapon is being sold and it will help you catch up (a little bit) to the bigger players :-D
