I've had it with "neuts" in FW plexes. Almost none of the fights I get into in and around FW plexes are with other FW players. It's all about pirate/"neut" gangs ganking FW players. That's really it. Solution? Join an FW squad... whereupon the pirates run screaming like little girls and you earn negligible faction. Theoretically, eventually, we could disperse and actually earn LP or face off against an opposiing faction's squad.

Doesn't happen. Either you huddle up with a fleet and earn f'all LP, or you blow it off altogether because plexes are the trolling bus station bathroom of bored pirates everywhere - or you run missions. Which would make sense if CCP put plexes in the game to be useless.

Pirates need to be either permaflagged like FW players - attackable by all FW factions since they're apparently too good or bold for any one AND all their POS's similarly attackable - or they just need to be outright banned from it. There is no FW anymore... it's Kibbles and Bits for grazing pirates and pirate gangs... I mean "neuts".

No thanks. I don't care who I'm fighting as long as there's a fight. Restricting who can come in = restricting the number of fights you'll get.

You seem a bit bitter. Could you try re-posting your idea without insulting a whole genre of players every two lines ? Or alternatively, not re-post it at all, because it's been suggested countless times and has always received pretty much the same answer : no.

Pirates are perma flagged. If they aren't -5.0 they aren't a pirate.
POS's in low are attackable at will.
What's the issue?

Sure.

And while you at it forbid cloaks and stabs and weaponless shells in plexes. And no LP for defense plexing, only for offense. You know, like it says on the box: faction WARfare.

I don't agree but you should be able to shoot anyone in a FW plex without any criminal flags whatsoever, except your own militia.

Faction Warfare space actually happens to be the only place I can get good 1v1 fights without some gang showing up and me getting blobed.
But I realise that most FW pilots use ****** t1 frigates so dont cry when you get killed by a solo pilot, GET A BETTER SHIP.

Also if you went missioning, you would find you have the same problem with ninja salvagers and gankers, also in null ratting, with hotdroppers and roamers....

Your crying out against a aspect of the game that exists in EVERY part of the game. shut up and go cry to you momma.

Your 'problem' seems to be your perceived difficulty of acquiring LPs in plexes, correct?


If that's the case, consider this:

- Gallente LPs (Federal Defense Union) are worth just a little more than 1,000 ISK/LP on Jita buy orders

- Sister of Eve LPs are worth close to 2,000 ISK/LP on Jita buy orders. AKA double


So you seem to be the only one having this 'problem', since the market is flooded with Gallente LPs.

Make space glamorous! Is EVE dying or not? Ask the EVE-O Death-o-meter!
