Ascended Super Weapon Opt out

I am tired of the Super Weapon being sold during a time that I am asleep, and as a result I awake to find my account has been hit three or four times during the night. Even high ranked players hit small players because they suddenly have huge amounts out. It isn't the super weapon income that I mind losing, it is the defence planets and weapon repairs that is the killer.
My suggestion is to give players the ability to opt out of Super Weapon income if they know they will not be around to spend it. This income would then be divided between the players that have opted to accept income.

I agree with you mate, nothing more annoying, or atleast some other way of storing it, then being hit every like 5 days

Shouldn't this be somewhere else? Not that I disagree with the suggestion.

Here we go again, weapon being sold at 4.30am in the morning (Irish time), I know people will say "stay up lazy-bones", but I don't think my job would appreciate my dedication to SGW.
All I would need is the ability to refuse the DMU coming into my account. Is that such a bad idea???

don't think it's hard to wake up for 20 mins in the morning to do a bit of farming if you are so concerned about it

You know whats more frustrating? I live in Sydney and by good/bad fortune I'm in the timezone where it seems to always go off at a reasonable hour of the day. However I'm always at work at the time. I can trade stocks online but am barred from SGW. So I generally miss it too but don't get mass farmed cos i have a half decent defence that stops the vast majority of the server.
4:50am in Ireland is just as inconvenient as 1:50pm down under depending on your real life circumstances.
And Uroguard, it is bloody difficult waking up at 4:30am just to farm. I've never done it because i refuse to let my life be dictated by an online game. Most people who play this game are normal people who hopefully lead normal lives. They do not need the inconvenience of being mass farmed overnight because Mojo and Sinister are forced to dump 10 trillion dmu on the server to protect themselves. The opt out is a great idea. The DMU is then proportionally increased across all other accounts, therefore maximising the hits on dead accounts. We then all spend less turns getting more dmu on dead accounts. A win win for everyone.

I have an idea. Why don't you all mass email Forum and tell him how displeased you are with the super weapon and how you want it removed from the game. It has caused nothing but heartache and pain for a majority of the server and I, for one, have had it with the **Filtered** and moaning that constantly goes on about it. "Dirty Dozen is just using it to boost their members; why can't we get some of that?" Then when you get some of that, "Why don't I have the option to refuse it because it occurs at a damn inconvenient time because the Americans play this game better than anyone else?" There is an option: you know when the auction is going to end. If you know you are not going to be online, put your account on vacation mode for 24 hours. That way, you won't get the DMU and you will be free from attacks for 24 hours.

Make an opt IN, not an opt out.

Then all the DMU would go to active players that want it.

This is actually a good idea, maybe all the alliances on the first 3 pages can send out an alliance wide message instructing all their members to do this on the same day.
Prolly just piss admin off but it might work.
