Warfare & Tactics

I've only heard half the people involved in FW think its broken. With a fifth thinking WCS need to be either nerfed or barred from the plexes. A third are on record as being annoyed by the farmers and an eighth of FW are the WCS farmers that people complain about.

your proportions are completely wrong. all sides h8 stabbed farmers.

M8 if you wanna figure out why its broken you can seriously go read all the RAGE pages back about how broken it is. FW used to be about the pvp, now its a bank. Nothing more.

mini sov? yup except instead of players using afk laser abaddons there using warp core stabs. and despite what every bleeding heart badass wants to think that stabbed farmers are counterable, they are NOT. there is zero incentive to sit in system and hunt a stabbed farmer for 8 hours.

tier 1 ? tier 4? tier 5? ccp didnt do the math on the tax's and the rewards get bigger and bigger and its so easy to maintain a tier. even though we were told that going up higher in tier would be harder to maintain... its NOT, its easier, more LP easier to maintain high tier.

removing the bigger ship plexs from fw. no reason to ever undock a bc or a bs, or a cap ship EVER anymore.

cross militia plexing.

on an eve universe scale, t1 logi has ruined this game. introduction of t1 logi that is 66% as effective as a guardian and a mere 30% the cost of a guardian is the new meta. fleet fights there used to always be something dieing. now its just repping. in FW at least its who can get the most logi alts wins.

need i go on?

I lolled.

Yes they need removing all together so u can blap wartargets wherever u want no othere wardec has the comfort of npcs protecting them why should fw bw any different? everyone is told when they sign up that they can be attacked anywhere at anytime...

Your in a forever wardec why should high sec be safe?

Because of one winner divided by four factions does not equal the square root of minus one.

I don't particularly care about the farmers, but it's part of what I think is borked with FW and it boils down to this: you're rewarded more for small actions than for doing anything big. When someone invests all the time in putting together a proper fleet to go and occupy a plex against any aggressors, it's a slap in the face to not only get less LP individually for the effort, but also to see the contest rate only change as much as it would have if a single condor ran the plex instead. So in the world of FW, the more time and ISK you risk, the LESS you're rewarded, and that, to me at least, seems totally contrary to how the rest of EvE works.

Because its fractioned.

Name any activity in Eve and you're bound to find a group of people whining and complaining about it being broken. Hell, even Eve as a whole is broken if you believe some people. The fact that something is imperfect does not mean that it is broken, but it is much easier to affirm an extreme position (and loudly, at that) than it is to come to a nuanced position on the matter.

EVE is about variety of fits and ships and tactics, if you do not want to change then stabbed farmers run. Why game has to change if you are not willing to.

Its a PVP environment that requires no PVP to make oodles of isk because of poor Plex design.

So yeah, thats the issue.
