I find it amusing that once the Caldari have to deal with endless hordes of stabbed farmers, they complain. But when the Gallente have to deal hordes of stabbed farmers? HTFU.

Except they didn't except in passive aggressive ways like this. Both sides complained about them...rather annoyingly at that. Something I have noticed: I miss the Gallente. Whenever logging in I'd always run into one or two and have a few fights. Last night I logged on for the first time in nearly a week and found roughly eight unique Minmatar pilots roaming about. Not a single one was up for a fight. Made me very sad.
What systems do you roam looking for fights in? I have had similar issues, maybe I can come provide some amusement in a Caldari hot spot?
Also, my original post should have read "Select caldari". Lots of Caldari (and Gallente) agree the farmers need to be toned down.
Thing is, if you take the Minmatar out of the equation, there's nothing to counter the Caldari farming horde, which hit VP numbers that were unequaled in the spiking tier cashout days. At least now, it's relatively balanced. |

Event after that spike, the minmatar vp numbers never hit the highs that the Caldari Vp numbers did - but the minnies had less systems so it's harder to hit the numbers. Both the minnies and the Caldari had enough people to pretty much perma run every plex in every system.
I admit that watching the less friendly Caldari complain about stabbed farmers brings a sort of bittersweet enjoyment since way back when the Caldari took all the systems the first time, a large proportion of Caldari plexers back then were stabbed and had no interest in fight either. Not to mention before the invasion of the minmatar horde is was stabbed caldari farmers *everywhere* at the start of the spiking system.
I agree that mechanics need to come into place to tone down farmers (I don't want to turn this into another notifications thread, if you've noticed I'm not really in those threads anymore, my viewpoint is pretty much I don't think CCP should take intel away from being a player generated thing, but I don't feel that strongly about it either way) but I think the diagonal plexing helps to balance things (we even saw some Amarr for a while not long ago when they had their short resurgence). |
