We would complain less if this was a task that was a hard fix that would require a lot of effort, but the simple fact of the matter is the coding required to change the limit on the Npc's is little more than changing the number 2200 to 9999 in the line of code, such a thing could be done in 15 minutes if Dan chose to do it. Yet we complain for months on end now and we here nothing If there is a reason do the players not deserve to know? and if there isn't why hasn't anything been done.

Yes, there should be something there to keep the extreme high ranks around but at the same time I can't help but shake my head at the people who knowingly go to that point even after they find out there is nothing waiting for them and then turn around and complain about it. Well you cant really demote yourself so what do you suggest these people do? Do you want them to quit? Nearly everything you do in this game gives you experience so you can't really freeze rank, plus every high ranker would quit if all he/she could do is hack people. Now, even if you do correctly use all the content in the game (however you would do that) eventually you will get to those high ranks and then you will be stuck like all of them... Please explain why you think these high ranked players shouldn't get new content, I would love to hear why you would deny them their content. First I kindly ask where you claim I said that high ranks should not get content.
The first time the issue was brought up, barely anyone on the forum remembers it. It was only after Namalak and Soulplay brought it up again and again that the forum was made aware. That said, now that you know the true limit to the content right now, what incentive is there for autoranking KNOWLINGLY to that point and then b****ing about it?
Also, I rank about once every 2-3 days. So idk about you but at that pace I should get to rank 2200 in about... at least 10 years if my math is correct. I predict there will be content by then. Even if I increased that to once or twice a day, I still have a few years to get to the no content zone. Again, I think there will be content by then.Woah. I did not expect this many comment since my last post xD Anyways, maybe you didn't directly say that high ranked players shouldn't get their content, but if you're not for them, you're against them. Secondly, I didn't have a forums account a year ago so I couldn't have stood up for this Binaryman when he first brought it up  Maybe you wont be rank 2200 soon, but many people will so I think it is worth it to spend some time to address the issue. Sorry if I am pissing you off or anything, I'm not trying to do that.

There's always stuff to do. Go around legion to legion, helping out new players. Start your own legion. Aim for the leaderboards. Reset your account. See how high of a level you can get.

mojo311 wrote: Also the less amount of TF's and toxics we get means that instead of just NPCing and building our own planets we will just start scanning more and taking more planets. I know I am one that knew I was going to pass and did anyways and its my own fault and all that jazz but at the same time if we don't complain about it nothing will ever be done. We have so far complained so much that one of the mods posted on a topic telling us it would be fixed. Maybe it was just to get us to shut up for a bit but if you say your going to do something please do it.
Now I would also like to point out how this seems to be the way of the game. High ranks out rank something and complain. It gets ignored then later when more get there it get brought up again and again. Then the lower ranking players come on and tell us to shut up that the devs are doing the best they can and it will get done. We normally ignore them and keep on complaining and then the devs come out with what ever we where asking for in some way shape or form. Then we are happy and go back to the game. A little later all those low ranks get said content and do they ever thank said high ranks for the content they enjoy??? No I don't think so. This happened countless times with NPC's in the past and will in the future. This has happened with bases, planets, legions, and so on. Some just minor issues and some not so much. So please if you don't like to read about it all do one simple thing. Don't click the link. These are issues that needs sorted and if we don't speak up it will never be sorted. I have yet to lose anything over x5 in arti to anyone. Lost my share of toxics, maybe 5-10, and i think ive lost one good research... in over two years of playing. Threaten al you want about taking e veryone elses planets. But there honestly arent many people DOING the thefts you alude to. I do and I love it. But I play hide and seek with my nice ones. You can only crack 28k cloak so many times before you're stuck never doing it again. And with as often as I probe my planets. Its doubtful anyone will ever get them. (I know, famous last words lol). I can only hope that other people are doing the same with their planets. (My stolen mega colossals would indicate otherwise though) Basically. I play to keep my planets and make no qualms about stealing anything. Still waiting for these dreadful higher ranke with nothing but scan runs to fill their days with, to take something

You get stronger sooner, in the long run you get stronger, but start out weaker for your rank.

Y U NO WANT LONG GAME FUN TIMES!! I think I'm arguing against whiny people who blast straight past the stop-sign, then stamp their feet and yell as loud as they can until the stop-sign is removed because ummm, actually why should it be removed for those who knowingly blew past it? Eventually when it affects far more people, the stop-sign should be removed. But tbh, I'm kinda glad there's a cutoff point right now. I know I'm never gonna catch up to those rank 2200+ people in terms of strength and stuff, I just don't think they should be able to accelerate away from the main body of players in an uncontrollable manner.

Its more controlled than people think. Auto ranking at high levels takes hours for just one rank.

Since I started ranking lots, I have noticed a gradual change in the difficulty of ranking. I'm only rank 683 right now, but I really cba sitting and clicking all day to find a few Terraformers. If my goal was to rank, then I'd give up playing.

how fast you can rank on auto-npc'ing varies on your connection/ship strength surely.
a rank of npc'ing on my portable phone network which i connect my computer to takes about an hour, cause every response takes just under a second, but on my home wifi network everything is instant all the time, i never even knew this game had a little blue loading bar until i moved out and only had my unlimited data plan+smartphone as a modem
and trust me, ranking fast and then filling out your ranks is much better than slowly ranking up but making sure your ranks are full all the way. you can ask any of the most elite crew we have here in Ni (or eots for that matter, as shown above), its definately the way forward.
