i would like a black badge arty that reduces XP gained

Heeere comes all the -1s from all the big names on the forums!

lol "why would i want to waste valuable dark badges on something that gives me a negative effect, boo hoo*

Valuable Dark Badges? If you're an NPCer you'd have a ton of DBs... it's not even about the DBs, it's about the negative effect on the artifact itself... No one needs such a stupid artifact, slow ranker, freeze ranker, faster ranker, it won't matter.

AHAHAHAHAH, what?, a slow ranker wont want this ? i do, im a very slow ranker and i want it.

also that quote was just an example of what i see when people complain about things like this.

Please tell me how this would help you...? And I never said a slow ranker would not want it ofc they would love it... I'm saying the artifact is not needed in this game.

what?, how wouldn't this help me?
1. i can pvp more without having to be worried about levelling
2. i can do missions without gaining allot of xp which also leads to levels
3. i can still do and get things that are reward with xp which is not wanted when slow ranking
=======================================
it sounded like you did
=======================================
for the reasons above, i do believe it is needed, you just don't need it

Enough said.

you know what i mean, stop trying to use things ive said against me.

No I don't because you stated that you want an artifact that reduces EXP specifically for mission and when I asked you how this artifact would help you doing mission, you made up other reasons that doesn't relate to the artifact. If you stated that you want an artifact that reduces EXP in general, then maybe I would've gotten what you're saying. But that's not the case.

before we got into this i edited a post were i said "mission," i obviously edited the wrong post.
in fact its the fourth one down, you know know what i mean, either you like it or you don't.

p.s. you quoted said post which imply's you read what i meant in the first place

Yep... still not going to happen. Though I admire the passion you have on something that'll never happen (this artifact and your goal on hitting the pvp leaderboard)

weird i posted and its gone now

any event, I think Dan would not want this - it would affect his rule regarding base donations tangentally...

e.g.

you have 5k energy and 2k e (or less to level)... now you'd do the max donation you could without leveling, then do a 2k donation and the rest of the E if not used somehow is gone...

with this device, it would let you do more donations...

Dan set the 2k cap for a reason... hence i don't think he'll like this


keep thinking though and maybe you'll find something Dan does like and will implement.

Not just for base donations, but EVERYONE would use this.
If its a short duration (15 mins): it screws up basses
If its a standard duration (2 hrs): above+its self sustaining and gets you even more NPC's per rank leading to even bigger scalling problems at high rank while pushing the 2200 barrier even farther off+missions are no longer such a ship killer (auto ranking the tath chain nets me 15% fewer levels HECKYA)+pvp ships stay lower with weaker ships
If its a ship module:above+it becomes a nobrainer choice for everyone who isn't just barely auto ranking.

There's room for ship improvements, but they cant be both required and increase scaling even farther.

and what's to say i won't make it to the leaderboard, i have as good of chance as anyone else.

i'm going to make sure i get there, just so i can rub your face in it.

Now first you have to hit Insane Rep...

*Gets some popcorn out*
