Why would you pay an NPC force to do this when there's these players called mercenaries? You pay them and they proceed to hunt down your enemies and shoot them in the face.

Or do you want an invincible omnipotent NPC force to do all the work because you have no idea how a sandbox actually works?

We don't rely on CCP to provide our content, they provide tools and then let other players do that for us.


Players are expensive and untrustworthy. NPCs are cheap and reliable.

If my issue is someone spending 15 million to mess with my gameplay, why should I be forced to spend billions hiring some players to mess with them?

That's a rethorical question, no need to answer it.

Q: Should we be worried? A: Nope. (...) Worry a lot if Fozzie, Masterplan, Rise, Veritas, Bettik, Ytterbium, Scarpia, Arrow, or even Greyscale leaves. Worry a little if Punkturis, karkur, SoniClover, Affinity, Goliath, or Xhagen leaves.

How is pressing a button to summon an NPC to fight for you doing something?

And besides

Why hire an NPC, when you can hire a REAL PERSON

Carebear logic.

Don't forget all the weak minds seeking fake achievements by killing dumb NPCs
and feeling proud about it.

Same thing.

Oh look at the glorious warrior who clicks F1 and kills all his evil foes!!!!

Behooold the mighty carebear!!!!
