good to read about PL before i bothered joining the party.
Yes, it's ok in MMO for bigger organized groups to have upper hand. No one will say that casual players and kitchen sink fleets should have chance in Alliance Tournament for example. However Life Event is a different kind of animal. If you want regular (read casual) players to participate you need to make rules so they have some chances too.
Previous LE clearly shown many casuals that it's better to keep away from such things. I would be amazed if this LE grabs many people outside of regular groups like FW, big alliances and such.
Personally i will think twice about visiting any events like this. And for sure i won't bring BATTLESHIP (lol???) into these playgrounds of low-seccers. Not sure if any type of ships above frigate worth the risk and 0% chance to get any reward.
Good luck to those who will try

There were 'official event fleets' in previous Life Event. And people from high-sec joined such fleet were just brought to low-sec camp.

There were plenty of "casual" players participating in this event, our killboard is full of them, but some of them even posted in this very thread stating that they had fun doing so.
yea. that is what i wrote about: people who tricked into your killboard.
props to those who enjoyed to be helpless target.
I hope they weren't your main source of kills?

In this game, we players can participate in the lore and our actions affect the outcomes - I'm guessing you didn't complain when the Jita monument was wrecked.
you right. I didn't complain. Because i don't care about this monument and i didn't care about all that whine which led to it's wrecking. But this is offtopic.

If all you care about is the reward then this sort of thing clearly isn't for you anyway. As for Pandemic Legion, we will continue to valiantly defend the underdog (or highest bidder) whenever the opportunity presents itself. Good luck trying to stop us.
"defend the underdog" = "our killboard is full of them (casuals)" + PLEXes as reward for killing lore targets

You are asking for special rules to make sure certain groups of players are prevented from participating in lore-shaping events so that "casual" players (your emphasis, not mine) can have a shot at collecting in-game rewards, entirely skipping the part were this is not about the rewards in the first place.
No. This is your words. Completely beyond of my post.
Try to read it again.

not really.
Life Event should be slightly different:
1) targets should be small and fast to kill ships. Let them be expensive if you want but small and fast to kill - no need to form big fleets
2) make search for target wider - not 1 system but the whole region. Again: there will be no real purpose for big fleets here, just real MANHUNT
Just storyline idea from by butt:
Some meany secret agent have stolen something really secret and bad (like super-puper unisex underwear). This presents big threat to all of us so we need to kill him.
1 week of rumor mongering where this agent went and what is he planning to do with this underwear.
And after this week all we got that 'he is planning to meet with some consumer at some celestial (asteroid belts included) in region XXXX'. Go find and kill!
VIOLA! Many people can go and hunt him. And there will be no real reason to make big organized fleets.
Make this special item always droppable (no chance to be destroyed) and put some mark on person who has it in cargohold. And you get real party for everyone involved.

The full report on this battle: Provist Taskforce succeeds at Taisy!All in all, a very chaotic fight, with many fleets fighting it out, sometimes amidst the PL fleet. Not my place of choice to duke it out but hey! Does seem people had quite some fun with this, consideirng how many fleets kept attacking despite being severely outnumbered. At the end, Provists thanked Pandemic Legion for defending them and jumped out, their unknown objetcive finished.
this Life Event is like TV series: it's interesting to watch but there is no reason to participate
