Warfare & Tactics

This thread delivers.

Dude is mad because he can't sell his isk online anymore probably.

ISK / LP for empire factions being down around 1k, is this good? Granted level 5 missions account for some of this drop off as well but FW counts for a lot.

To date my play a little bit when I first started playing EVE Minmatar faction LP stores could expect ~3-4k ISK / LP which was pre-FW. Fast forward several years and farmers have decimated the profit margin of the items they sell by nearly 75% and it's not as if the rats added into FW plexes are difficult to defeat or tank, unless of course you are rocking 2-3 stabs and a cloak instead of guns, tank and damage mods.......

You say no one will fight you in your combat ship also, so the solution to your problem seems to solve itself. By the way I might, and in fact do, have 95M SP but when I come into your novice plex there is vast swathes of those SP that contribute absolutely nothing for me in this fight. Once your core skills are done increased SP means increased options not increased effectiveness. The SP excuse is weak for that reason and if you're not done your core skills then participate in mass tests on the test server whenever the opportunity arises. CCP gives you SP to assign your character for your contribution.

For most true farmers though this used to be a non-issue as they were created fresh off the biomass queue in order to be ready for their job inside of an hour or two and get no more SP than that because they are alts who can not have significant training time wasted on them. These are exactly the kinds of players these changes were designed to send packing, those whose earning potential vastly exceeds the SP limitations of a legitimate brand new player but at the same time these plexes would be doable in a short time frame if you were actually interested in building the character up.

Seriously though, who puts so much effort into protecting their "investments" into T1 frigates. They're not even real ships, by which I mean they are so cheap that my drones and ammo on some other ships sometimes costs more than an entire combat ready T1 frigate. T1 frigates are not investments they are fireworks.

People try to kill them, but they can't because the farmers cloak or warp away using their 4 warp stabs when you land on grid.

Can't speak for the Gal/Cal warzone, but the Amarr alliances are pushing hard and taking systems that were previously held by minmatar since the farmers switched to our side. Always hurts losing systems, but you have to respect the Amarr for the work they're putting in.
This is exactly what I said would happen btw, systems now get flipped as a result of sustained and organised operations, instead of randomly because because the farmers pushed a system vulnerable in their neverending quest for isk. Plenty of fights happening around the warzone now too.

No, CCP wrapped FW up with a bow and handed it to the turds with cloaks and stabs swapping sides at will, we used to FW for zero rewards back in the day and life was good.

Made me think about that : http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OcVieTOjWgQ/UVxgZQ562hI/AAAAAAAARKU/roXgdG4Yvns/s400/ScottTenormanMustDie30+%25281%2529.jpg

Faction WARFARE.

I'm truly sorry you lost your newbie isk fountain.

Honest injun.

As a pirate that primarily hunts gal/cal fw space, I resent your remark and challenge you to a duel on equal footing

Message me in game and I'll take you on

So good those farmers go back to high sec.

No coincidence the huola push started right after the patch that denied farmers free LP/isk (oc including some planning and logistic time).

FW is getting better every day!

Choose your side and join the fight!!!!!
