About that 1%

1% of Military Units Transferred will defect, never to be seen again!


About this, i know its been there for ages, but its quite annoying now!

If i'd be a regular seller, i'd sell at least 1 mil uu's per day, which is 10k
uu's to the game, i know its not much, but if you check in total, i've sent
at least 4-5 mil in my whole sgw career.

I dont know what you guys think, but a lot of people are selling uu's for $$$
So if a big order would of come up, and i'd send 20 mil uu's 200k uu's is plenty!

I dont know how you guys think about it, but i dont want to see that, or to be decreased lower, or even 0% that would be best for me actually.

Tell me what you think, thx.

you have my vote

i used to hate it when i was small - and selling locations

people agree a price and send the uu - such that i get less than the agreed price.

damn those 1% of cowards

mabe they can die cos of not getting food while they travel.

It was put in cos some ppl sent there army away whilst going on vacation irl and still getting there naq when they came back so they lost nothing and it made the vac mode usless , it was used the same way in wars , send your UU to someone out of the war and they send you the produced naq and you did not get farmed every turn , now with the 1 % you lose somthing , ( 2% giving and getting back ) The game was never ment to be played for making money ( exept for Jason , he needs to eat to ) the selling of UU is a side effect and is by no means to be supported by making it easyer and covering your losses.

In short NO , 1% is not a big price to pay.

1.99% actually, but put like that i can now see a reason for it being there, so am in two minds whether my first post counts. Nice idea though, but Draleg pointed out some serious ways of abusing it.

it depends.

i buy uu with naq - because i can hit a lot of naq, but would have to wait ages for uu to generate via my up.

so i am not abusing the game as it was meant to be played. And i am still affected by that 1%

my main question is why not broker it? you need an ss to do both so as far as i know there are no losses to brokers are there?

thanks

Well its really a yes and no topic

Some people would agree, some wouldnt.

Since i dont want any fights about it, i'll ask any mod to close it and let it be as it was before and its staying at 1%. Dont want any enemy's which i could mass :p but i am bored tho.... hmmmm

no , dont close it !

i think you have a good point and am only playing devils advocat.

on the other hand

UU were never supposed to be brokerd , its was implemeted to stop the many " give me naq and i wil send you the UU " scams , again brokers were a solution to a problem created by the " give " function.

You still lose 1% if you do it in a trade

- i trade a lot and have lent out uu - you lose 1% in trade but i dont know how much you lose if you do it out of trade

Well i know i've traded, and if you play as long as me, about 2 years, you lose in total of at least 4 mil uu's

I do mind that 1% Id prefer to 0% much more
