This is a poorly thought out change.
People do not actively tank in 99% of PvP situations because having a big buffer is almost always better. This is especially true whenever you have friends with remote reps.
Since sig radius is important to tanking, this change is not going to do anything to encourage people to actively rep in PvP. In PvE, where people do actively rep, this isn't going to change a damn thing, because the predominant rig there is the Capacitor Control Circuit. |

Here's the collective feedback from players, then: His idea sucks. In many cases sig radius is an important aspect of a player's tank and so encouraging people to use active tanking by increasing their sig radius is moronic at best.
Additionally, active tanking is cap intensive, and so is going "fast", which makes the attempt to pigeon-hole the notionally fast races (gallente and minmatar) into active tanking even more laughable. Admittedly the capless shield booster in the leaked Chaos server differential would help in that regard. |

What I'll say is this though: You can't really advocate collecting feedback and then sperging out in the same sentence. There are plenty of people in this thread who express their opinion without creating an environment that's pretty negative to interact with.
My post was a bit aggressive, yes...I edited it.
Taken alone, these changes suck, but we don't have the full picture. Things like capless boosters/reppers hinted at in entirely unofficial Chaos leaks would make this work better ("going fast" and "active tank" don't mix, both are heavily cap intensive). As is, however, we're left to judge this change on its own, and on its own it's found wanting. |
