Warfare & Tactics

Thats 15 hours of plexing a month.

As for his killboard I am seeing allot of kills in gallente space. So it seems either his pvp and plexing time are seperate or he has to spend allot more time in plexes because defensive plexes don't pay that well. Or Crosi was just full of it when he said his lp earnings for last month. But I personally think he may be telling the truth. He is not allucard.

Carry on.

the thing about this comment is our warzone is balanced the caldari can step upto same tier as us wenever they want.
The reason why the other warzone is imbalanced is that when amarrs do cashout they dont defend cos why do they need to there counting there isk then when the situation gets worse instead of trying to do something about it they just fire up there minnie alts and dogpile the situation then cry the systems broke

First, under the "cash out" system, there was no side that was winning. There was just the side that most recently had their dump. The fact you call it the "cash out" system shows everything that was wrong with that system. The true reason why you see no one caring about tiers in the current system is because it truly only benefits the farmer. Yet the farmer won't part with his lp to upgrade a system.

If CCP wants people to care about tiers than it needs to give bonuses that pvpers care about. Maybe boosts to the owning militia. It should be harder to fight someone on their home turf.

Why should they care about who is winning a silly pve game?

But interestingly enough after the lp market bottomed out the amarr would be just as well simply stay in their pvp mains and not switch over to minmatar - if we still had a cashout system. When fw lp was still valued very high during inferno this was not the case. Because during the first 5 months of these changes lp conversion at tier 5 "now" was worth much more than lp at tier 5 "later."

But after the market stabilized amarr would realize that they might as well start running plexes in their pvp mains. The system just did not have time to settle in. And now it just makes more sense to earn your isk from the alt that brings in the most isk per hour. Running fw missions for minmatar at tier 4 pays allot better than sitting in your main running plexes at tier 1. So really why bother with all this plexing pve business at all?

Amarr couldnt get there tiers during inferno and now with retribution alot of them were even vocal about having the minnie alts doing the work for them all those ontop of a very strong minmatar at the time just made there whole situation worse ,its a practice they havnt stopped and still do to this day.

During inferno most people had an alt in all 4 militias and just plexed with witchever one looked like getting the next high cashout.

You are bittered to the amarr way of things as ive suggested try other militias hear other storys and see the game in different ways

They wasnt stratigically planning it from a war perspective, it was a just to get paid perspective it meant something to wallets not to fights.
this was evident in how many alliances and corps dropped fw like bricks at the changes and then some creeped back in when they realised it could still be farmed.

Also the minnie strategy was mainly farm it till everyone had a fk ton of lp then flip or dump it was commen knowledge minnies dumped on a sunday every two weeks to try and maximise people being online so everyone gets to cash out so dint take much talking and working on a plan

I dont get in some posts you say you hate rabbit but in others you stick up for a system that was definatly more farmer friendly

It shouldnt have any reduction why should the fw lp store ride rough shod over every other lp store in the game if the other stores require more grind using level 5s as an example that have to be run in a carrier or a dps ship and logi?
CCP actually see fw as a staring block to bigger things then why should a 3 day alt or a stealth bomber pilot earn more than a carrier pilot thats been training his toon and building up standings to run those missions. All i see is you looking at it from a lining your own pockets perspective

How many hours did you personally spend busting IHUBS for the Amarr during this time?

I'm having a hard time believing a guy like you who "believes that FW sov should be a pvp mechanic" and who thinks "15 hours per month is a long time" would bother with spending 2-3 days flipping massive numbers of IHUBS to get to Tier V. I suspect that you let Nulli Secunda to all the hard work for you.

The rest of us who actually put in the time flipping these IHUBS (and I didn't spend nearly as much time at it as some of our guys), laugh at you for being a proponent of one of the most soul-sucking torture activities ever implemented by CCP.

One:
All LP is earned at a second tier level for all militias. Unleash the market for balance.

Two:
The tier a militia is at is only determined by the number of systems in the warzone that militia controls. 20.1%? You are tier two. 40.1%? You are tier 3. Etc.

Three:
Buy IHub upgrades to better your system. These would be a mixture of military or economic benefits that would be available at different tiers. Station lockout for enemy militia? Tier one upgrade. Reduced clone cost, research slots, or manufacturing boots? Tier one with the choice of upgrading the benefit with each subsequent tier. Other upgrade ideas could include:

Timer rollbacks on abandoned plexes.
Defensive plexing LP for that system only.
Notifications for Cerain.
Activation of mission agents if present in system.
More friendly NPC's in plexes or slower plex spawns. (Only available at low tiers)
Sentry guns on IHub.
Station lockouts for WT. (tier 4 or 5. WT are not the same as enemy militia)
Moon or PI production upgrades.
Anomaly or rat upgrades.

Add any other upgrades you might think of here. As CCP adds things like Ice anomalies or tags for sec status new upgrades could be introduced as well.

Four:
The upgrades can be destroyed only by system conquest or directly by the opposing militia. Tired of stealth bomber mission runners? Get a fleet together and go shoot up Dal/Eszur.

Honestly a monkey could have created a better system them the steaming pile of crap we have now. It unfortunately is based upon the process of capturing systems rather then cultivating them after ownership is attained. Good job CCP!

He did.

I have never seen him in a plex, busting a bunker nor in any of the highlevel intel channels doing any 'stratigic planning'. So unless he is using another alt that I don't know of....

And frankly I'm tired of him turning every FW thread into a novel by replying EVERYONE in the thread regardless of wither or not they were talking to him to begin with using 4 paragraph long posts. Nothing kills a thread like Cearain.
