I'm not kissing up, but there is complaining, and then there is whining. Saying hey, this market change isn't fair for these reasons is fine, but saying it repeatedly is just whining and useless. If it bothers you that much, then quit, that's all I'm saying.
And wolf, I'm not having an attitude, but there's a point underlying all this, and that'sthis: everyone is using the ToS to show that no one violated them, but they keep forgetting that those sames terms of service allow Sir Emi to change what he wishes about the game.
and Sir Emi dind't act out of haste, he was shown evidence over a course of 2 weeks by various prominent members (I'll not say who, they may step forward if they wish too, of course, there is a thread in the suggestions area about this, where some of them are at) the main being that there was a 1B high tec scanner going back and forth between two people for about an hour before it was intercepted, and then before that there were three 750M scanners on the market going back and forth for quite a while too. These were clearly funding, as nothing would amount to that high of a payment.
I do respect yor opinions, and you as a person, because I do realize that this is unfair to a good portion of people who like to help out alliance mates/friends when they get hit hard, but it only takes a few people to ruin a good thing, which is what has happened.
And I would appreciate not being called a suck up/kiss up for expressing my opinion and defending Sir Emi's choice, which I believe to be the right one. You don't see me insulting you and calling you a traitor, now do you? No, I merely stated that there's no point in complaining continuely about the same thing, as it'll either be changed or won't. But most of SO is in agreement (I asked around in the chat, as only a few people, 20-30, actually get on and read the forum regularly) that limiting the market trading from person to person was a good idea. So it's doubtful that it will be changed.

"And I would appreciate not being called a suck up/kiss up . . . . "
Let me tell you something Luffy . . . No-one ever said you have to be nice to be honest. Thats why they call it being brutally honest. People say, if you dont have anything nice to say, then dont say it at all, but the truth hurts and the 10 commandments state Thou shall not lie, correct? Game set match
You nag about people complaining over and over and over. All I have heard you do is state that emi has the right to change the game and that people violate the terms of service, so that makes you a hipocrate(sp?)
ANYWAYS, as for my objections for the market change.
Who says a certain amount being transferred has nothing to amount to being worth that much? Wolfy has stated to me repeatedly that if it wasnt for me sitting down with him and teaching him how to design ships, that he would still be buying ships from Lammalord. Wolfy is in 2nd place right now. 2nd or third . . . . and is very much still a contender for first place even with giving credits out to other people. Tell me something, someone whos making quadrillions easily each day without donations or people feeding him credits, how can you possibly speak for someone such as him and state that that much is too much of a payment to give someone?
Luffy insulted me and the navy for objecting the market changes in a conversation with him and also stated that I was just pissed off that I cannot recieve credits anymore. Your d**n right I am pissed off. With as much crud as I recieve back from people after giving one person a good attack, and as much as I have done for other people, I feel i have the right to recieve credits from other commanders and so do other people.
Just because we have/had people who were willing to give us credits instead of you, doesn't give you the right to tell us whats right and wrong. You have full control over what happens and what doesn't happen in the game. You can be nice to people and give them reasons to give you credits, as well as you have full rights to donate to the game to recieve the credits for donations.
The problem is as simple as this. People get jealous when good things happen to other people. When people are capable of donating, the poor broke fools whine and complain about donations even though donations pay for the server costs. I am in no way shape or form talking about those who COULD donate but werent able to due to paypal not being able to exchange currency, or the currency of the country is much less in value then the US Dollar.
Jealousy is nothing more then greed going unanswered. Grow up, cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it.
Right now, I am working on the last end of the bridge about the market being changed, but I have yet to hear solid evidence as to how it effects YOUR gameplay. All I have to say in return to people who say it changes the way the game is played is . . . . . Get some skill. I can't say much on the skill part as I am still not the top 10, however with only being given a limited amount of credits from players and donations, I still remain at the top 20 even after dealing with random attacks that I have had to endure as well as counter attacks.
EDIT/Addition:
I am not afraid to call people to the table. The TWO PRIMARY CAUSES OF THE MARKET CHANGE ARE THEDARKNESS AND CHICPEA . . . .
If it was not for Lammalord getting fed so much credits, they could care less. They for some reason have a servere hatred for Lamma. They both feel that Lamma was stalking chicpea or something and thus don't like him at all. They think he is sleazy and the sort. For the most part, i would agree due to the way Lammalord has skated by however . . . I find it kind of pathetic that they decide to complain about market transfers then to physically show Lamma that he has no skill. They I feel are too afraid to attack lammalord due to the risk of losing their position which goes to show that what they have built up . . . . is all they have. Any attacks on them would knock them back serverely. Sure they would make it back within time, however thats work they dont want to do. If that ever did happen, do you think one would hesitate to help the other?
Let me put this situation past you. Keep in mind, this is theoretical to get my point across.
Say I was in range and put an attack on Darkness. Let's say I took out a few of his ships and made him resupply a ton of marines. I highly doubt he has enough credits saved up to easily resupply his fleets. If he says otherwise, I say prove it. . . . . Anyways. Darkness would be down for the count for a while. Smartest Idea would be to sell the remaining ships, get back as many credits as you can and resupply with slightly weaker ships to get back to war status. (I say war status because the rounds I was incredibly active, you were always ready to be attacked. You werent ready to do missions. You could do missions with whatever you could get ahold of) Do you honestly think that Chicpea would hesitate to give her own husband credits to get back to his prior status? I think very strongly that Chicpea would not hesitate to give her own husband credits to get back in the rankings with her, as well as to get even with me.
