Originally by: Bagehi The more heated the opposition is to removing ABCs from the low end WHs, the more I am for the removal. If it was only a rare thing that wasn't aggressively sought out, few people shouldn have a problem with them being removed. Now, granted, the C5, C6 WHs are a whole different animal, and they have a right to be angry about the removal of minerals which are a giant pain to obtain otherwise. Plus, those systems are more on par with the risks of null sec mining than other WHs.
Considering the response to things like the anom and JB nerfs, the response here is extremely tame, but even if it weren't, ignoring the actual facts associated with the issue and judging it based on player rage seems a bit off.
Considering people still live in even C3-4 WH's, there are obvious implications about removing them for those groups. Considering that these would most likely be smaller groups less equipped for complicated logistics.
The idea is further complicated by the fact that the CSM's suggested that they be made MORE self sufficient. This really doesn't add up to anything other than a punishment of WH dwellers when we look at the facts:
No local (which means no instant intel or warning). No Ice (could be wrong here, please tell me if I am). Belts are only found in sigs. Mass limitations prevent large scale ops in low class WH's. Ease of access for "daytrippers" provides greater danger due to equal ease of access for pirates. Pirates themselves would also loose targets due to decreased activity in low and holes. For those that do live in WH's supply can be less than consumption at times as is.
The only one area in the game that could benefit from changing WH's is null, which has significant advantages over WH space in terms of mineral production as is. The hypocrisy of the null representatives in suggesting that they deserve to be more self sufficient in their chosen area of the game while decreasing the ability of others to do the same is somewhat deserving of rage IMHO.
I'd be very interested to hear more of the CSM/CCP reasoning for their desire to make this change.
