That of course is YOUR opinion. Several other posters opinion is that there IS a problem. Nothing wrong with having different opinions, but it would be nice to submit a reasonable suggestion for a fix or change, instead of just complaining about a problem.
You bleat and whine like a stuck pig about how mission-runners are a problem, but then fail to provide any problem statement.
Why are mission-runners a problem? How are they impacting upon your gameplay?
Are they competing with you for production of meta level 1 items (ie: unnamed T1)? The solution is not to nerf missions, the solution is to remove unnamed T1 loot from NPCs.
Are they competing with you for money? Nerfing missions because mission-runners make too much money would then mean CCP would have to nerf trading, manufacturing, invention, ratting, etc.
Are they lagging out your favourite missioning hubs? Nerfing missions will nerf you too. The better solution is dynamic agent quality, so that people looking for LP rewards will move to less populated hubs. For people like me, where the agent reward and early completion bonus form about 20% of the total value of most missions (or 100% of missions like Recon (1 of 3)), that carrot/stick is enough to make me move systems (as if lag wasn't enough of an issue already).
You have no argument, you only bleat and whine. The simplest explanation is that with suicide ganking nerfed, you have to find something else to bleat and whine about. I don't for a second believe that you are stupid enough to think that mission-runners would actually move to lowsec or nullsec if the missions moved out there. After all, most of the big-earning mission-runners I know are nullsec alliance pilots who have a marauder parked out in hisec to make up the ISK they need to keep up their PvP habit (that, and missioning in hisec is relaxing to them since they don't have to be on gate patrol or constantly watching intel channels).
In the meantime, I'm sitting here with my Drake, with only a few skills up to level 5. Mission-running for ISK is all that's keeping me in the game at the moment. I can't afford to throw cheap frigates into PvP - I just don't have the ISK flow at this point in time to support it.
I like th cut of your jib, dont like the idea about agents changing q though, and as a level 4 mission runner and i dont loot friggs or cruisers, but i still get a lot of refine just from the ammo npc battleships drop.
Other then that.. i hope you stand for the mission runner csm in the next election. |
