As a long time FW player, here are some things that I care about:
1. The Pendulum swing is too harsh, people are saying that the lower availability of LP in tier 1 makes it more valuable, but that is more or less BS when you have months of players dumping millions of LP into the market during tier 1, then as it starts to become about twice as valuable the pendulum swings again, leaving a very short window of time for people to actually make reasonable isk who didn't have millions saved up before the tier drop. I am taking a break mostly from FW (I do still have 3 FW toons) and I still have millions of LP laying about for when Minmatar goes into lower tier.
2. I ran a corporation, Alliance, and co-ran a coalition when I was in FW, and what did we end up doing? Taking sov in order to raise the isk in order to field fleets. With no means to tax LP it becomes very difficult to fund SRP programs over cruisers on a corporate or alliance level. It was very stupid though, that we would have to be ratting where our sov was (insmother) or where our allies sov was (Wicked Creek) in order to fund doctrines, but then something would happen in the Warzone and we would have to actually get there to do something about it, with JC timers and whatnot. When we should have been able to just plex in the warzone, and fund things on an alliance level.
TL;DR; provide corporations with the ability to tax LP, and set a default NPC corp tax rate on LP in the milita to incentive player corps (which can be wardecced and are all around better to interact with)
3. Some sort of timer solution, I really don't care if it is a rollback or a dual timer. Each one has benefits and consequences.
4. Break up Minmatar/Gallente and Caldari/Amarr. Prevent Caldari/Gallente from running plexes in the amarr/Minmatar warzone and vice versa, there is even less incentive to bring you faction up from t1 when you can simply change to the other faction and go about business as usual.
I remember for a while having Of Questionable Repute (my minmil alliance) and Multicultural F1 Brigade (Calmil alliance) blue, and we would head up to black rise to run incursions or shoot gallente with them, it was nice to have those options, but if we broke up the alliances between militas we could have more of that, it only worked in our case as I used to be a director in MCF1B so we trusted each other.
5. An actually novice plex, without faction frigates. As it stands it seems like more of a game of pirates in faction frigs and implants just hunting newbies all day, which makes them leave FW pretty quickly. I know eve is a harsh game, but many of those people will stay in the pot of boiling water if only you crank the heat up slowly, and will jump out of that pot if you crank the heat up too fast. |
