All fine and well. However..
Some conditions:
- No faction loot in high sec. - Randomized spawn times of overseers - Randomized spawn locations of complexes - Randomized composition of NPC's - Reasonable effort vs. reward ratio. Effort, not risk. - Complex locations in non conquerable regions or easily accessible. No dead-end or deep deep 0.0 systems.

Edited by: Tarron Sarek on 02/10/2007 22:50:23 4- for comprehension, and a 2+ for misinterpreting.
Did everybody know when overseers spawned? No. It was far from everybody.
Wouldn't it be enough to have fixed locations? You can't have your cake, and eat it, too. You'd know where to figh, but not exactly when. In fact that might generate more PvP than just three times a day.
Does it also have to be a fixed time? Does it also have to be 'fat lewt'? Somehow that's my impression. 10min PvP rush with fights and awesome reward. Screw players in disadvantageous time zones.
Well.. that's not my idea of a fair and well thought out MMO concept.
I've written 'not risk', indicating that effort should play a bigger role in reward calculations. Risk in 0.0 is inherent.

I guess I knew if it was 'my' game. ^^
Yes I've run complexes, successfully, and in high sec it was a farce. Possible 100m+ reward for logging in some alts at the right time? 10min effort without any risk? Yeah, great concept..
0.0 is different, but risk is relative and from my point of view a very bad criterion for reward. It's a good multiplier. Reward in 0.0 should therefore always be higher than in high sec. But the only constant and reasonable factor should be effort. Possibly also luck, but fixed times and locations have nothing to do with luck. The same goes for sealed off 0.0 complexes.
Anyways, your way of misinterpreting and exaggerating makes me unwilling to continue this conversation. Good luck.
