Warning Wall of Text: Mostly directed toward the CSM and CCP.
Ok FW comes down to this, it is a game not a job if I have to spend every waking moment I am online running plexes for nothing I get bored and stop playing.
This focus on PVE and Sov warfare has turned FW into a farmers dream and has in most cases destroyed the fun that was FW. LetGÇÖs assume that the intention behind CCPGÇÖs changes was to force more PVP by increasing the amount of hands on work needed to further your militiaGÇÖs goals. This is only relevant if people actually care about the militia they are a member of if I could care less if the Amarr own a single system how would this new group of mechanics force me to help? For example, 90% of the GÇ£RPGÇ¥ players for the Amarr have either left or are overwhelmed by the farming alts of the MinniGÇÖs and even farming alts of the Amarr so they are either regulated to beating their heads against a wall day in and day out or leaving to do something more fun.
I will state it again EVE is a game not a job if you want people to care about FW then make it rewarding to PVP in FW and kill your enemy instead of making it profitable for those who can use a 1 month old alt to orbit a button and make billions. It should be an epic struggle between factions not an epic struggle to cash out your horded gold so you can show off your wallet. As for the Caldari militia they have had the advantage of an army of farmer alts which has allowed their mainline PVP groups and leadership to worry about strategic planning instead of spending days on end plexing down a ton of systems so the current system is working out well for them at the moment however with the fall of the Amarr the combined group of the Gallente PVP corps and the Minni farming alts will quickly overwhelm the Caldari through sheer numbers. If you want to counter that and show the FW community that you actually care about it then reverse this 4X LP cost crap so the Amarr can at least buy ships and reset their space so they actually stand a chance, unless it was your intention to ensure the minniGÇÖs had a massive advantage on patch day.
There have been countless threads showing how the Amarr are at a massive disadvantage in numbers, ship effectiveness, space design, and plex NPCGÇÖs yet its 100% their fault they have less than 10 systems. While I do agree that there are groups within the Amarr militia that could make a huge difference in the course of that war they have chosen to enjoy their FW experience and the rest of FW is punished for it resulting in the Minni militia being able to hit Tier 5 almost at will and the farmers to rake in billions of ISK.
Once again EVE is a game and meant to be fun not a job so if you want to fix FW take the PVE core away from it and make PVP and fun rule the experience not a savings and loan bank filled with government bailout money. If FW players wanted Sov battles and blob warfare they would have joined a 0.0 alliance but they didnGÇÖt they joined their militia so they could have fun and fight the good fight for their militia.
Countless times before the latest patch the player base told CCP that this was a bad idea and that this would happen and they were ignored, many people stood up and told you that this would only result in exploitation of the mechanics but were dismissed as doomsayers. Now we are here with the MinniGÇÖs taking the majority of Amarr space before patch night and beating them down further with farmers, and the Caldari are next on the list for the farmers and CCP cannot fathom why this happened.
EVE is OUR game not just CCPGÇÖs game. I understand that CCP has a vision and an overall goal but we play this game daily, we see how to exploit CCP decisions, and we pass that information along to you through our CSMGÇÖs yet the only people ever listened to are those who will benefit from the changes you want to make while those of us who actually care about things such as FW are ignored as doomsayers until time and again they are proven correct. Stop putting your head in your GÇ£sandboxGÇ¥ and start listening to those people who care just as much if not more for your game as you do. We operate in your sandbox daily and we know how to game your system so when we tell you that if you make this decision this is how people are going to exploit it to make money then listen to us not those individuals who have zero interest in things such as FW.
Yes I am aware I am not currently in the Militia. |
