Or all 4 militia join up and we invade 0.0 untill ccp listen to us!
I'm pretty sure that's what CCP wants... for us to just go to the "real" game in 0.0.

With regards to plexxing, why not make it so you HAVE to kill all the NPC's before capturing the plex? and in return give them bounties too.
Means all the speed tanking ways would be eradicated, actually have to use teamwork and you recieve rewards for doing it.
Ive never fathomed out why your allowed to speed tank a plex with god knows how many enemy npc's letting you capture the plex right under there nose - makes no sense tbh.
We don't need even more care bears joining FW to farm ****. Right now FW is full of people that do nothing but farm missions and add little to nothing to FW it's self.
...
The problem with Plexing in FW is the NPC's and the fact that it's pretty boring and for the most part pointless to do. PVPers wont suddenly say, "Hey lets go plex" just because the NPC's have bounties.
...
There has top be a reason for PVPers to "want" to defend the plexes and NPC wih bounties or PI crap isn't going to give a reason for them to do so. In null sec there would be a reason to defend so that kind of system would work there.
PVPers will do boring tasks for the rewards. Lots of pvpers I know will run fw missions for the ISK. We need ISK for the shiny ships we get blown up! We sure as hell don't do them for fun.
IMO
1) Fix plex spawning mechanics so there are always X plexes across the region to find.
2) Remove FW missions from the game entirely.
3) Give significant LP for capturing a plex.
4) Balance the f**king rats.
All of the sudden, you'll find plexes highly prized and sought after! It won't be a case of "oh, he found my mission, I'll go do one of the other 15 missions on my list and come back in 2 hours when he's gotten bored". If someone runs you out of a plex, they'll close it and get the rewards and you'll get nothing.

I'm just of the mind set that mixing PVP with PVE is never going to work. They shouldn't balance the NPC's they should get rid of them altogether, IMHO. Even if the NPC's were balanced they will still cause fights to not happen due to one side having the advantage of NPC's and the other not.
If you remove NPC's and place a structure of some sort, with EHP changing by the size of the plex and maybe even the DPS being fired at it. It's still boring, but at least it would solve the issue of single frigs running every plex and it would solve the issue of un-balleced NPC's all in one go.
I agree with the sentiment. I think we need to step back and ask "why did CCP put rats in there?". "Why are there timers" etc. Without really knowing CCP's intentions (I'm sure it wasn't "lets make it so the bulk of plexing is done by low sp alts in t1 frigates while the main pvp happens elsewhere"), it's hard to propose counter mechanisms.
This is all assuming CCP will give a toss about FW even in 2 years when they are done with incarna/dust.
