QFT.

Plexing may still be totally worthless, except for maybe a few tags, but it does seem to have stirred things up some.

I think the plexing change was so big surprise that gallente and minmatar got few systems just by being more active.

Gallete had plexing op going on caldari systems before expansion ( maybe they hoped couple extra server reboots happen after patch) so change just made it easy to get those systems fast. Then gallente got exited how easy it was and keep it going.

As you see it was never about npc balance or that it has no meaning or no rewards.

Before it was just about tactics to keep systems without plexes to take, now that tactic is gone and only most active can win.

LOL - yep - we hax teh servers again to get extra DT's.... P

Actually, NPC jamming was tweaked in a previous patch....so yes, NPC balance was an issue. I've noticed it - a LOT - well before crucible. While jamming still happens often...it's not the instant, perma "WTF why should I even bother" jam that it was before...

That combined with the removal of any DT advantage meant we didn't need whole fleets to PLEX - we could actually tackle squid plexes with just one or two as you guys have been able to do for years AND still defend ourselves if the need/desire arose from counter plexers.

While I think the changes are a bit drastic, it is still for the better as it should go to those who are more active throughout the day, and not just a select few who happen to be in the ideal TZ...

Not so Ninja Edit:

Can't believe I'm doing this...again....but I agree with Damar on the below (don't rage Damar about me quoting you without "permission"....P). The below "quote" is Damar from another post:

Edit: The new mechanism also sort of encourages going at it with less expensive boats. Previous system more or less guaranteed a system got only couple of plexes per day so it was in everyone's interest to bring out the biggest gun because you just had to get that plex.There was only one possibility of a fight and you had to end up on top, no matter what.

Last night became the latest system to fall - sooner or later we'll meet some quality/quantity opposition I'm sure Blink
