I don't post terribly often, but I felt I had to chime in with my opinion:
I think WCS should stay as they are. I think making it so you can't cloak in plexes was dumb, as it ruins a lot of cool traps you could set up. Everyone keeps pointing to other problems, such as WCS, and cloaking, but I feel the source of the problem is payouts.
As it is right now, people that want to kill people do, and people that want to make isk, farm. I thought FW was supposed to be making money while fighting, but If you fight, you lose money. If you make money (plexing), you need to avoid fights.
Buffing the rats is just frustrating, and I barely even attempt to offensive plex anymore while looking for targets. If I want to make money, I can annoyingly sit in a plex, fighting rats that respawn endlessly, so I make my money elsewhere. Hunting is annoying because of the rat buffs. My proposed changes:
1. Allow cloaking in plexes, really nothing wrong with it IMO
2. Don't change WCS, they have worked this way for years, and have been fine
3. unbuff the rats and don'T have them sapwn so often. It's just super annoying to solo o-plex anymore. Maybe leave 1 in there, and make them spawn every 7 or 8 minutes or so, but nothing more...
4. Lower payouts for plexing a lot, maybe give out 1/10th what they do now. This would seriously discourage plexing as a farming activitey since it just wouldn't be worth the time.
5. Increase LP payouts for killing other militia members. This would incentisize people to fight, instead of trying to farm plexes.
I just don't see why everyone keeps saying to change other things, like WCS, or cloaking, or the rats. Just make it a money maker to fight people instead of running. Is that such a hard concept to grasp? If someone just wants to make money, they will, and they will avoid people coming to fight them as much as possible. Make it unprofitable for farmers, so they go back to mining, and leave the lp for people who are doing FW as it should be. Make it so that the people who are fighting for their empire are paid to kill the enemies, and capturing these stupid outposts are just a nice little bonus, instead of how it is now, where killing a ship basically gets me nothing, and all the money is made plexing. |
