Not sure if that has been mentioned before but I would also like to mention the fact many people are making Winmatar alts and farm Caldari plex's (because i guess the plex's in Amarr space are already crowded by winmatars and amarrs due to the low amount of amarr space left).
I'm actually baffles winmatars get LP's for capping caldari plex's. In my opinion they should only get the standing bonus but no LP. If they want to cap Cal space they can join the frogs and if they want winmatar LP they can try to cap amarr plexes.
Also, in my opinion the modifiers should be changed regarding the LP store. x4 - x0.25 is too extreme. As the OP mentioned it makes a winning militia "too easy" and for militias who are having a stalemate it's basically crap. It should be like x3 - x1.5 - x1 - x0.66 - x0.33.
This is my two cents.
(there could be other more creative suggestions out there too)

You go AFK orbiting a thingy. It's dreadfully boring for those of us that like to pewpew, and a godsend for bots / jews. Really, anything past a minor shouldn't be soloable in a t1 frigate. Perhaps if the timers were shorter, but only ticked down when ALL the mobs were dead? Or if only the mobs rewarded LP, which when added all together, was similar to the LP you'd earn from capping? Something like that would go a long way to stop these afk wankers.
CCP obviously didn't think too much about this. Amarr will likely never get past L1 because of a snowball effect. People see Minmatar are winning, and join them. People playing Minmatar get 1. More LP, 2. Cheaper LP rewards which all translate into more ships to lose. They tell their friends how they're making 300mil a day by plexing, and more come for easy isk. I personally don't care as it means more ex slaves to baptize by fire, but god damn it was poorly thought out, and the FW mechanics themselves are stagnant as ****.
I actually like this suggestion. This would solve the boredom issue, the issue with current invading throwaway alts and maybe level up the difficulty by a notch. Though i do think the rewards might need to be rescaled again because i can safely say that a minor outpost is much much easier than 3x a large unrestricted plex.

If they want to cap Cal space they can join the frogs and if they want winmatar LP they can try to cap amarr plexes. Each side has always been able to run plexes on both fronts. The key issue is rewards on all fronts are out of whack with effort. Your concerns are only concerns because Minmatar LP rewards may (or may not) provide more incentive for farmers to plex for Gallente than the ease of 1 day old alt farmers plexing for Caldari.
It also counter balances the penalty of everyone farming for winmatar. Amarr has 12 systems which means there is a limited amount of plex's that can be supplied. On top of that there is a much higher winmater and amarr militia member per system concentration. All this contributes to plex's being harder to farm on that front. Which, even if not enough, kind of balances things. I don't mind winmatar being able to cap squid plex's. The reward is the issue. Because right now it is easier to farm caldari plex's than amarr for the above stated reasons. Rewards should be kept on the militia's main front.

That is correct. And while i would applaud better solutions that would fix the entire issue with CCP i have my doubts and thus also support some smaller and simpler tweaks.
