Quick question do you even play elements on kongregate if not you wouldn't understand and your replys would be useless because it seems to me both of you, yourself and Chromatophore are on different pages.
I used to but was too much lag and desyncs so i play on elementsthegame.com exclusively now

People rather play Top50 on kongregate because there is a chat next to the game which doesn't mean you have to keep tabbing to look at official chat. Plus all your friends on kong are there with you which is a nice touch which allows players to feel a better game play.

Open kong chat in a second window.  Put zoom on elementsthegame window to 75% if you need more space.

I think Chromatophore makes a very relevant point.  Nobody wants to repeatedly play the same person in T50 and there are other options for viewing highscores.  It also takes away places from players near the bottom 50 who are trying to earn the satisfaction of seeing their scores posted.
It is not about posting your score repeatedly it's about giving everyone the same chance but doing so through another process. Quick question do you even play elements on kongregate if not you wouldn't understand and your replys would be useless because it seems to me both of you, yourself and Chromatophore are on different pages.
I used to as well.  I found it much more convenient to play on the EtG website with chat open overlapping. 

I was just trying to make a relevant reference concerning this issue.  Not trying to troll your topic so please get back on yourself.

We get asked this many times per day I avg. atlest 50 times+ while i am online.

Not everyone is willing to so this as just removing the Process of how to access Top50 will save so much time be really benefit everyone.

My question to both of you which is more convenient if you played on kong and arn't affected my Lag
A) Play on kongregate with a normal access to Top50 so everyone will know they can play on kongregate then on mainsite if they didn't know the Quest > Top50.

B) Open Mainsite and Kongregate, change zoom sizes and window size and have them side by side (If they didn't know the process on kongregate)

I would pick A then everyone can know they can play on kongregate and enjoy their time.

Have you understood the problem ,here ? wolfunit has explained this problem to me in chat (although I wasn´t called teffy)
And I think I can make it a bit easier for you to understand:

The game window on kong looks a bit different , the main menu shows your name in the edge, you have an "account info button "and - more important, the stars (*) you see in the screenshot.

If you click on a button with a *, a new tab opens, and if you aren´t careful enough, you have 2 tabs with the game open, and this is bad, because the game progress isn´t saved. And the chat window (see wolfunit´s screenshot) on kong is next to the game window, so it isn´t useful for players to open a new tab on elementsthegame

BUT, if you click the quest button , you see the buttons in the way they are shown in the second window, and the buttons have no *, and-  surprise surprise - a new tab doesn´t open, and you remain on the kong page, and you play Top 50 or view highscore on the kong page.

The idea of wolfunit is now:
Why can´t we simply click "Top50" on kong ? Why do we have to click "quest" and "top 50", if we want to play against top 50 on the kong page ?
I see no good reason for this...

Your Quest --> t50 seems more like a loophole than the way it was intended. It is supposed to make people try and go to the main site for the extra features.
Also i dont get the whole "gave wont save on kong" thing if you click and get redirected. If you click around in the game it auto saves. if you have 2 windows open they will overwrite each other. you have to exit one or the other.

Good suggestion for people in kong, and I support it. On the other hand, I feel that zanz has his reason doing that and with Top500 coming soon, it might be different stuff altogether. Thus, I will say that this suggestion is good but it might be a little too late because zanz probably already working on the Top500.

I have a small idea how this could happen:
In the past, buttons were rearranged - you still see the old arrangement , if you click "quest". And when zanz rearranged the buttons, this happened.
But you are right - Top 500 will probably come.

Ok let me make some sense of what i said If a player clicks Top50* he/she will be directed to mainsite which he/she will log-in and play but this user may not know they would have to close 1 window for the game to save which they close the unsaved game thinking it was saved which didn't. This has happend to many many players.

Well If Zanzarino is replacing Top50 with TOp500 which he will do he may just change the tile on kongregate which would be the same as now (Maybe) so i think the process to Top50 should change now and if it's the same for Top500 the way to access it should also change.

This.

And more importantly, by redirecting people to the main site, it generates hits for the banner ads. Do the game a favor, and stop teaching people to circumvent the system.  :)

When you said this it didn't mean much because elements on kongregate has the same features as mainsite except the large screen. I would guess the main importance is gaining the game hits which i would see the only reason why it will direct players to mainsite.
