What's with all this new mention of "Incursion Communities"?

Someone got rejected.
Its not snobbery - its expectations.
High end fleets rely more on DPS and less on Logi - just like high end mission ships.
So the expectation is that you use a high DPS, well fit ship, thats capable of pulling its own weight.

If you dont do enough DPS, you dont kill rats fast enough and they overwhelm your logi. Congrats, you just cost your fleet members your ships.
Alternately, if youre running with awesome logi pilots, youre bringing everyone's ISK/Hour down. This is fine, if youre paying your fleet members a bit as compensation. but nobody does that.
Thirdly, most logi pilots will rep a low DPS ship at a lower priority than a high DPS ship for several reasons - one of which is because youre costing him/her ISK/Hour.
So, in essence, by blingfiting your ship, youre ensuring your own safety (Given competent logi pilots)

And BTW, we prefer Vindicators.

Hey, most posters are "PvP-ers" - they'll only kick something that's assured not to bite back. Even in metaphors, you can never be too sure.

Lets face it this game is doomed, CCP spend too much time listening to people with alteria agenda's instead of thinking for themselfs.

Lastnight ran incursions the first tiem since nerf. It took about 1 hour to make a fleet, then made 30mil in the following hour, before people had to leave because they had been waiting around for so long.

So 30 mil for 2 hours work, yeah great, thats defiantly the best way to make isk in high sec.

CCP do your own research and testing instead of just taking people at thier word on the forums. Ive seen people quoting 250mil-300mil per hour BEFORE the nurf on the forums, and that was wiiiillddddley inaccurate.

you have cater'd to the 0.0 alliances who had thier own reasons to get incursions nuked from orbit and that was a massive mistake, ive said it in the past but not messing about anymore. you can shove your game where the sun doesnt shine

I never heard of Incursion Communities, I used to live in a place that was real close knit for retired folks. My Grandson Tim didn't seem to like it too much though. We didn't have the internets then and where Im at now we get it for free. That boy I tell ya, if he doesn't have his internets hes not a very happy boy. I remember when I was a kid I used to go to my grandfathers house and he had a donkey that liked to bite. Well we were trying to teach him to not bite us so much so I found this foul smelling stuff and rubbed it all over my clothes thinking that he would bite me and taste something horrible. But wouldn't you know it, that donkey wouldn't get near me that day and when my momma got there to get me she was as mad as a cat in a wet bag, I tell ya I was in trouble!

Haven't you been quitting for the last month or so as well?

Yet here you are, coming up with the genius argument of "CCP need to stop listening to people with their own agendas, and begin listening to my agenda". Have you considered that maybe it is your personal agenda that is somewhat lacking in terms of impartiality?

Unlike you, we are willing to call for nerfs to things that benefit us. Purely for the good of the game.

Incursion communities are still going strong, have lots of activity, and are not nearly as 'elitist' as people think they are.. Unfortunately incursions are end-game content, and require ships of a certain calibur to be fit to actually succeed at running the incursion..

That is not elitism, it is effective piloting. If you don't like it, go make your own fail drake incursion 10 man gang and go run vanguards to your hearts content.. nobody is stopping you from trying.

Groups like BTL and TDF and TVP have websites dedicated to ship fitting, and clearly indicate that fittings must be up to snuff to join their fleets. Otherwise it falls apart.

AS for numbers and the nerf, people come, people go.. at the end of the day while the 'community' may shrink or grow, it remains and this is a natural cycle we see time and time again -- people will continue to run incursions, some like you will continue to be naysayers and cry elitism.. while others, like myself, simply made a skill plan, got the right fitting, log in when i need the isk, x up and (still) rake in buckets of it.

somethings gotta pay for all these 'canes i keep losing after all ;) and incursions are fun, relatively easy (if you have a good fc who enforces some fleet discipline and fitting doctrine) and a great teamwork experience, after we week out the asshats.

Don't like it?

There's another tree over there/.. Go build your own fort. Nobody is stopping you.
