3 novice plexes per day waiting for fights. Carry on.

Thats 15 hours of plexing a month.

Also, the little plexing and pvp i have done over the last month has yielded 900,000 LP. I wasnt even trying. Thats 1.5 bn isk. Wont quite pay for my lost snake set but will easily keep people in ships. Working as intended. Working pretty well too.

So you just keep singing the praises of this imbalanced and stagnant system

What's your point? He was paid to pvp. Eve Nirvana! (OK, not pvp but to gank noobs with his loki boosted Maulus - whatever. Sandbox and all that )

the thing about this comment is our warzone is balanced the caldari can step upto same tier as us wenever they want.
The reason why the other warzone is imbalanced is that when amarrs do cashout they dont defend cos why do they need to there counting there isk then when the situation gets worse instead of trying to do something about it they just fire up there minnie alts and dogpile the situation then cry the systems broke

.....

First, under the "cash out" system, there was no side that was winning. There was just the side that most recently had their dump. The fact you call it the "cash out" system shows everything that was wrong with that system. .

The true reason why you see no one caring about tiers in the current system is because it truly only benefits the farmer. Yet the farmer won't part with his lp to upgrade a system.

If CCP wants people to care about tiers than it needs to give bonuses that pvpers care about. Maybe boosts to the owning militia. It should be harder to fight someone on their home turf.

With the cashout system, there were no pvp benefits yet everyone was talking about it and strategizing how to achieve them. It was just a more exciting system. Uttering "meh" is about all that can be said about the new forever grind system.

They wasnt stratigically planning it from a war perspective, it was a just to get paid perspective it meant something to wallets not to fights.
this was evident in how many alliances and corps dropped fw like bricks at the changes and then some creeped back in when they realised it could still be farmed.

Also there was no strategy it was mainly farm it till everyone had a fk ton of lp then flip or dump it was commen knowledge minnies dumped on a sunday every two weeks to try and maximise people being online so everyone gets to cash out

I dont get in some posts you say you hate rabbit but in others you stick up for a system that was definatly more farmer friendly

There was strategic planning involved with hitting higher tiers.

Neither the general cashout nor the current lp pay out system is really more or less farmer friendly. The changes that made the current situation less farmer friendly were:

1) requiring rats to be killed
2) generally reducing the pay outs
and
3) the lp market crashed.

Both 1 and 2 could have been done with the cashout system. Like I said they should have reduced tier 5 to be a 50-60% reduction instead of the 75% reduction.

3, the lp crash, was gonna happen anyway. Even if they started with this payout system the lp would crash. Market forces will bring the value of lp in line with its difficulty to obtain. If they gave 10xs as much lp in the current system the lp market would crash even further, capped at the cost of the other required items.

Its not the cashout pay out method per se that caused the market to crash. It was the crazy high rewards given. But after the lp market hits a baseline the cashout system would have worked much better than the current system. They changed it before it hit that baseline.

It shouldnt have any reduction why should the fw lp store ride rough shod over every other lp store in the game if the other stores require more grind using level 5s as an example that have to be run in a carrier or a dps ship and logi?

There was strategic planning involved with hitting higher tiers.

The current system also runs rough shod over every other lp store by giving multiple times as much lp. Cutting the lp price in half or giving 2xs as much lp for the same activity has the same effect.

One:
All LP is earned at a second tier level for all militias. Unleash the market for balance.

Two:
The tier a militia is at is only determined by the number of systems in the warzone that militia controls. 20.1%? You are tier two. 40.1%? You are tier 3. Etc.

Three:
Buy IHub upgrades to better your system. These would be a mixture of military or economic benefits that would be available at different tiers. Station lockout for enemy militia? Tier one upgrade. Reduced clone cost, research slots, or manufacturing boots? Tier one with the choice of upgrading the benefit with each subsequent tier. Other upgrade ideas could include:

Timer rollbacks on abandoned plexes.
Defensive plexing LP for that system only.
Notifications for Cerain.
Activation of mission agents if present in system.
More friendly NPC's in plexes or slower plex spawns. (Only available at low tiers)
Sentry guns on IHub.
Station lockouts for WT. (tier 4 or 5. WT are not the same as enemy militia)
Moon or PI production upgrades.
Anomaly or rat upgrades.

Add any other upgrades you might think of here. As CCP adds things like Ice anomalies or tags for sec status new upgrades could be introduced as well.

Four:
The upgrades can be destroyed only by system conquest or directly by the opposing militia. Tired of stealth bomber mission runners? Get a fleet together and go shoot up Dal/Eszur.

Honestly a monkey could have created a better system them the steaming pile of crap we have now. It unfortunately is based upon the process of capturing systems rather then cultivating them after ownership is attained. Good job CCP!

How many hours did you personally spend busting IHUBS for the Amarr during this time?
I suspect that you let Nulli Secunda to all the hard work for you.

...Sentry guns on IHub..

He did.

I have never seen him in a plex, busting a bunker nor in any of the highlevel intel channels doing any 'stratigic planning'. So unless he is using another alt that I don't know of....

And frankly I'm tired of him turning every FW thread into a novel by replying EVERYONE in the thread regardless of wither or not they were talking to him to begin with using 4 paragraph long posts. Nothing kills a thread like Cearain.

awsomeness

Notifications for Cerain.

While a bunch of nice ideas....

At what point in time was it smart for amarr to bust ihubs? Really try to think about that one ok.

The point being that if you actually did go through the whole massive plex busting offensive once (or twice, or maybe a third time like the rest of us) you wouldn't have such fond memories of a ridiculously soul sucking mechanic.

Now I am not going to go on this "nerf alts" rampage, because thats just beating a dead horse, we all know better and it's not going to happen. The game mechanics need to be balanced in a way that you make more LP through FIGHTING IN PLEXES then just sitting there and hoping no one shows up!....
