im kinda tired of seeing ppl being knocked over by some donating noob who only would need 2$ to knock over any1 around em. i dont mind the ammount of turns n whatever u get by donating, but i do mind how much money u get. if im not mistaken, a guy ranked #1 would get just as much money as a guy ranked #1000?? sounds a bit weird. id like to see a change on that. like that the ammount of money u get depends on ur rank or power (excluding fp as ud only need pships to get tons of power) or something like that. i dont know how this would become, but the big guys would still probably donate for turns and not money as they know how to actually use those turns. its a pretty vague idea and its mostly big guys who'll answer this, but immagine a noob getting more money for 1$ then ull get from 100 missions n ull see what i mean. guess thats it for now...

soppe, it is annoying when that happens.

but i have to strongly disagree. if you made the donations tied to the power or ranking of a player you would be giving out more total "power" to a more powerful player. it would make the rate of $1 =1 go to hell. if light went and donated at his power with your idea his ratio would be $1= ??? to mine.

this would just turn out to be like the old missions, going up on a scale to infinite.

if light were to donate, hed donate for turns cause he knows how to use em, just like most of the other good players up there too 16

but as i said, its a vague idea. my only real point is, change it so that ppl under a certain rank wont be able to do a major powerjump just cause they got somewhat rich parents or something. i see ur point though but theres probably a sollution to that yoo 16

no, it's a good idea, because the ratio would still be $1=1. a guy at the top right now, donating his $1=.001 to him, while a newb it 's $1=100000. The ratio is off rihght now and needs to be corrected. Good idea Soppe.

I agree as well. It seems that new players only needed to donate $20 to get a top 30 position earlier in the round. And... When they get that high in power they have no respect for more experienced players (they attack who they want), and usually end up getting dominated.  laugh

that's not the main problem, the main problem is they do no work and get high up, while others do a lot of work and end up getting knocked down, costing them months of work by someone who did nothing.

ya, a simple exchange to where 1% increases your credit reserves by like 1% or 0.1% would work great.

PS. I'm still greatly disturbed by the fact you can donate for turns period

The problem I see with having the donation rate according to someone's power is that they could easily raise their power with pships to manipulate the rate when they donate large amounts of cash.

midnight, do you know how little a problem that would be? most people can't raise their power too aweful much, maybe 2-3x what it was tops. And since everyone can do that, it is fair. But being bottom rung and donating for 5B isn't fair to he people atrank 30 where 5B is like, 500k to them. You've got to make the ratio equal, not the rates.

Is a guy with bad credit going to get the same deal as a gy with good credit? no. Same with a guy with no credit. the deal will be worse.
