Try reading this a few times to let it sink in. It seems to have been far too complicated for you so far given your interpretation of these events in previous posts.

Nulli had 2 choices, make their own minmatar alts to swing these systems back and then farm them back to vuln so they rejoin their tier push, in the hopes they can do this faster than matar otherwise matar would just bush the systems during tier push and deny them as part of the t5 push, or push for system and only get tier 4.

I think they made the right choice.

No that was not why they made the decision they did. Nice try to reinvent history to suit your warped views though. Please provide a link to a contemporaneous blog or post where someone said amarr stopped at tier 4 because minmatar were flipping the systems. I expect your response will be the same as your friend Alucard. No link or support for your view.


Here is a contemporaneous blog about why we cashed out at tier 4. I dont' agree with everything he says but he does try to list all the reasons why nulli might have stopped at tier 4. And no no mention of minmatar having amarr alts flip systems is mentioned.

http://cry-moar.blogspot.com/2012/08/nullibros-and-great-tier-4-cashout.html


Feel free to read the comments as well. You wont see anyone giving your revisionist history explanation of why they stopped at tier 4.

Seriously you gallente forum warriors can't seperate your imagination from reality.

Then its a very incomplete take on events. While you are reading some shady blog im on comms and in DnD/FATE fleets with one of the most influential members of minmatar militia before he joined W-BR. Keep flaunting your ignorance though.

As for the comments, i guess there are quite a few people as ill informed as you.

Then maybe this person can give you a link to a contemporaneous report that suggests what you said was actually the reason nulli gave up at tier 4? I mean if this was really the reason they stopped at tier 4 someone must have posted it somewhere right? I mean if for no other reason that to correct the numerous other blogs and posts and statements from nulli themselves that they stopped at tier 4 for other reasons.

LOL we are not likely to get any links or proof from you. You are juust one more gallente forum warrior who posts your imagination as if it were reality.

In other words you can't find a single contemporaneous link or post that says nulli stopped at tier 4 for the reasons you give.

Why am I not surprised?

edit:
Heres another almost contemporaneous report with no suggestion of your imagined reason:
http://themittani.com/features/nulli-secunda-delve-tribute-pt-2
reason given for wanting the cashout: burnt out on orbitting buttons with no pvp

and another:
http://wtffw.blogspot.com/2012/08/thank-f-god.html
reason given for wanting the t4 cashout: burnt out on orbitting buttons with no pvp

Everyone in the amarr militia who was there got the reasons we stopped wrong. But you who was never there just posting almost a year later knew why we stopped. Right, more of your imagination.

I was in minmatar militia at the time with an amarr alt ready to cash out and yes there were enough systems in place nulli was sick of grinding and amarrs coulda picked it up grinding a few systems that were practically vuln neway coulda been done in no time.

That is beside the point the tier system back then was stupidly broken and dogpiled the losers worse then it made ships so crazily priced at the lp store it wasnt worth bothering. Were as now yes it may take you a little longer to gain said lps than your rival but atleast when you do you can make a living enough to plex accounts and pvp because markets are recovering for most races (i know minmatars are broke) so the prices are offset making it much more fairer.

I mean who was going to join the side that it cost 1mill lp or whatever crazy amount it was just for a bs... now yes may take a little longer to get ur lp but pay the same price id call that the cost of losing

So you were called out, and now you are changing your story.

I was plexing around ebolfer as were several others from my corp. The minmatar would wait until we left and then dplex it. We were gradually getting the percentage contested higher but it was slow going. How do you think I remembered exactly how much each plex captured would contest a system?

Having an occassional tier 4 cashout would be much better for the losing side than this current stagnant and imbalanced system.

I know minmatar had alts flip labapi in a bunch of destroyers. But that concern was not a reason why amarr stopped at tier 4.


Whether that strategy would have been effective in the long run was dubious at best. Your flipping labapi saved nulli the trouble.

i never changed my story mate they say practically the same just had to reword it so you could understand it. and my original point stands if amarrs hadnt have got rich during when nulli flipped the sytems and spend all that pent up lp and formed up and gone for the jugular instead of counting there piles of isk they could have pushed it all the way there ships were fovm in null/lowsec at the time and it woulda been worth the work most farmers had worked upto farming missions by then too so the lps woulda been there to put in

I did go off int a rant while typing and then deleted some and retyped just didnt read before pressing enter.

Infernos tier system is a dead mechanic and i know ccp will never go back to that i hate both tier systems but slight tweaks to the losing side could make this current version more bearable.

Yes I know you guys do. I was being a bit disgracious when I said "The minmatar would wait until we left and then dplex it." Fact is you guys are mostly Euro time zone and we were us time zone. You weren't waiting for us to leave to plex any more than we were waiting for you to leave.

We seemed to be making slow progress though. I think if we would have kept pushing throughout the warzone we would have gotten the systems needed for tier 5 even without nulli. But nulli started bunker busting and indeed many in the amarr had, had enough for various reasons.

But we did not stop short of tier 5 because we feared minmatar would start flipping our systems. That only happened in Crosi's imagination.

As far as the idea of flipping systems for the enemy, I think that was something simple minded people liked to claim would happen all the time. But when you thought it through they would likely be shooting themselves in the foot.

But even if it occassionally would be a good idea I didn't mind. Sort of like a gambit in chess. The simpletons (who probably wouldn't want gambits to be allowed in chess) cried quite loud though and got their way. Now the system has no nuance or strategy at all. It is indeed dumbed down.

Interesting points from all sides. Thank you for your contribution. Nevertheless , I have to agree with Crosi, X Gall and and Alucard on most things in this thread.

It seems that certain ppl just get annoyed because they can't make isk at the same rate as the enemy?? The losing side seems to be upset at not getting more lp's for their efforts. Unfortunately that is the nature of the FW beast right now. We attempted to bring Caldari forces together in Enaluri and it worked for a while. Most ppl will agree it was a good time for both sides. Yet again the Caldari can't seem to work together so don't be surprised at remaining on Tier1.




EVERYONE seems to want something done about the farmers, that is everyone but the farmers .

We'll never get rid of farming and why should we.? It seems we just have to make farming plexes by farmers harder.... Timer rollbacks and the 4-5 waves of npc rats introduced again? Apart from that FW is ok!

Removing farming is asking CCP to remove a large portion of their cash cow. No for profit company would do that. The influx of farming alts has increased the amount of subscriptions. OR at the very least the demand for PLEX to keep said farmers alive. Either way CCP gets cash.

Not that I'm saying that's wrong just pointing out the flawed logic of asking CCP to do something that would effect their financial bottom line.

"Large" is perhaps an overstatement, you can profitably farm with an alt with barely a week of training, hardly something you'd sub a new account for.
