So beside the fact that you killed a merlin what else do you have to inform us of that we didn't know?

CCP need to become quicker in fixing new or 'iterated' features that turn out to be broken. New FW seemed great shortly after patch and I think many people enjoyed it. Problem is, after a short while the puppetmasters in larger corps and alliances figured out how to exploit the system and then it quickly degenerated into pure ISK farming.

A corp I am member of captured a system for our faction. In militia channel we were warned not to do it because we were *harming* our faction by reducing their farmland. We did it anyway because capturing enemy systems seemed like what you should do in factional warfare, and also it was fun to fend off the interfering enemy militia. Result was, two large corporations of our own militia wardecced us immediately. To punish us for fighting the enemy Roll

So you cannot even use the system as it was intended, even if you do not care about farming yourself, because the powerful people are all just ISK farmers at heart.

Yeah, it's a great time to farm LP down there. Lots of people "playing" FW: Mission Accomplished.

The irony is strong with this one. Tell me thread, what have you done to my good friend? You know, yet still you DO NOT BELIEVE!

Seriously though, who here is suprised by any of this? I really liked the beekeeper reference by the way. Reminds me of this.

I have been killing a number of bots around my area lately. Kill them repeatedly until they run out of ships. Report them nightly as well. CCP ignores. Exact same person is back the next day. Same situation as OP.

It's horrible and usually done with alts, and no FW bittervet will ever admit to doing it. But, 95% of them do it.

I'm willing to bet the "bot" in question was a few weeks old with no implants...

I click the plex and get money or strawberries or whatever?

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

No, no, Jade said that Minmatar was just better than Amarr, it is inconceivable that people can be even contemplating joining the "other side" just to farm billions of isk worth of LP each day. Inconceivable! How dare you! They're professional RPers who are certainly not greedy!

I mean, look at the gallente vs caldari war, they're equal as well!

FW is full of farmers these days. It used to be just a handful of people with each militia that would go out and slug it out every few days for a laugh. We all knew each other and I even switched sides a couple times to "even the teams." But this just isn't the case any more. It's next to impossible to get any sort of decent fight, all the pvp these days seems to be plex farmer vs who ever's bored enough to bother trying to catch them.

The average plex farmer fits no guns, has 2-3 stabs and won't warp to a plex if any potential threats are on scan. Finding ways to catch them is proving mildly entertaining I suppose. Normal pvp fits just don't work since these aren't normal setups I'm chasing around. In any case it's seriously broken.

To answer the question of what plexes you can run with an unarmed stabbed t1 frigate, the answer is all of them if you are minmatar or caldari and none if amarr or gallente. This is do to a massive imbalance in the npc capabilities.
