Greeting's Incursion interested people...
First off, i will apologize to the thread starter, it seems despite your best intentions, that you shall have the drama spill in here; we apologize for the inconvenience. Also on behalf of the angry German, i apologize, please bear with him, he has a personal obsessive grudge with us in ISN, and he seems to desperately need to spread his grudge to everyone doing incursions, it's alright, it's a sandbox. Don't panic.
Secondly, just to comment on the actual suggestion:
"#1 is implemented. In this case, no more wait lists for engaging in group PvE content.."
We in ISN sort of "invented" using a waiting list, I'm not here to take credit for that, i would just say, no one is forcing anyone to sit on a waiting list, or make one, it is simply more efficient to maintain a fleet with one, and we are glad that others still learn from us, this is good; better contests. Contrary to popular propaganda, we actually don't mind loosing a proper contest once in a while, because it shows us there is still room for improvement. So if we, an ISK/Hour oriented community, don't mind loosing our payout on occasion, why does the majority? We are, in fact, not really bothered by this blob, we just reacted to it, in this lovely sandbox. We will most likely again, mind you, in a similar fashion react to the blob if we see it again, action; reaction.
I can tell you a little secret though, how to avoid this happening again: Don't join the blob. We just want to do our HQ fleet when we can, with the contests of chance that follows, which is not every day and not for many hours at a time, as opposed to the blob communities, who matter of factual run fleets 23/7. But it seems the blob does not agree, which is completely fair of course, everyone is entitled to their opinions. It seems the blob is of the opinion that ISN is not allowed to make ISK at all for these 4-5 hours ever second day that we can. Help help, we're being oppressed :D I suppose all there is to do, is stay tuned and see to which side the sand castle topples. I know I'm entertained.
Back to the topic at hand; the contest mechanic actually works pretty well as is i think, and i will reveal to you, since other communities have improved greatly the last half year, out of necessity i suspect (Yeah, you are welcome ^^), they have mostly improved so much that the window for actually coming in late and "yoinking" a site, is very very small to non existent. These communities now make better ISK for their members as a result of this improvement, they are safer, they should be quite happy (No really, your welcome). We don't complain about this, we have just done what we do best, adjusted, to maintain the best ISK/Hour we can, by even shifting our focus away from other communities and just been alone and done what i sadly consider (by now) the mindless grind. Contesting sites have always elevated this mindlessness somewhat, which i have been most thankful for. In fact, the first incursions i did, i was contested by these "shiny" folks, and i thought "Well daaamn, that's cool, i want to do this, i want to be better, richer, faster". Of course this was in Vanguard sites back then, but i just transfer the same mentality to the larger sites/fleets, so please execute me.
Anyway, to sum up: The contest mechanic is fine as it is, blobbing is ok too, it's a sandbox, don't ask the Dev's to change it, change it your self. With the short time I've played this game, I've already learned that this is quite possible.

P.S.: Dear charadass, please, keep doing it; "Nein nein nein!", you have no idea how you endlessly amuse us. Keep playing that propaganda war, it's hilarious, just have some consideration for the thread starters please, and address their issues as well. I just have a piece of friendly advice, since an ISN pilot pointed this out to me: "This guy, it's like, when he wakes up, he must think ISN, when he takes a leak, he must think ISN, when he goes to bed, he must think ISN..." Seriously, it's can't be healthy with that kind of obsession, take a step back man :) I wouldn't want anyone to become ill just for my own entertainment.
