Donations desired

Seeing as how incredibly SLOW we earn prestige, with few people currently playing and many being in CoV, we might take donations into consideration.
How does this work?
SG members can exchange influence for prestige at a 500:1 base. That's 1 million inf for 2000 prestige. It's hefty. It's expenssive. But it helps.

So this goes to the level 50s in our SG: if you have millions of influemce and want to help with the base, donate. Not all of it, save some for yourself, of course. But if you have 40 millions, I'm sure you can exchange 20 or 30 of them. What else to do with it anyway? Keep in mind you will then be able to use teleportes to zones, rez in the base when needed and other goodies once we get to build it.

Problem: the exchange guy (the SG guy in Atlas City Hall) only lets leaders donate. People have been complaining at the official board, but for now no changes announced. So, either you trust your leaders and trade the influence to them (easy way) or you catch any of us online, ask to be promoted to leader, donate yourself, quit the SG and rejoin it (stupid way).

Thanks all for your help!

I'll see what I can do

Hrm. 90% of the time I'm the only one online. I'm guessing everyone else is in CoV. I just so happened to team with Poison, Kurai, and Jade Steel in Siren's Calls over the span of a couple days, ran into Astro Creep, and had a small conversation with Vendel. That's about it. :(

Now just hold on a second! Now the 50's have to convert their influence to prestige? What happened to using that influence to help out us above 35'ers buying new enhancements because we are not earning any influence due to fighting in SG mode?

Ahh, but can't you edit that donating job in the power section?

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I disagree with myself. 1:500 is just plain stupid. You exchange 1,000,000 influence for 2000 prestige. That's about 200 minions. 10 mission boni. You NEVER get 1 million inf from the same amount.

Also, I'm constantly checking the official forum and the complaints about prestige rewards and base costs won't stop. I hope for a dev statement soon, hoping they decide to either lower the cost or up the rewards.

Oh, and there's a bug (yet another) that causes the SG window (when you click on settings) to show way less prestige than the SG has earned. This will be corrected and the missing prestige refunded.

Base rewards should be hard to obtain or else it would cheapen the experience of having a kick-ass base. On the other hand, it's much TOO hard it seems to raise a decent amount of prestige.

I say we give it a few weeks for the devs to make a statement then if needed, the 50s can drop their cash.
