I was there when the old girl needed me, but this is a time when for the most part she doesn't need me. I know many in Eon would agree with me when I say EoN should rather hold Tartatven +PFC districts than 70% of Molden Heath. I think that EoN "policing" Molden Heath was Eon attempting to save Dust's playerbase, but unfortunately wasn't successful.
Of course they had competing motives, but you can't deny they tried to salvage Dust's playerbase and give indies a chance. They could have stomped on everyone's toes and went for full Molden Heath domination right from the get-go. You think they wanted to hold 70%? They wanted fights, which are alot more interesting with the risk of losing land. A fight just isn't the same on PFC, it lacks the smell of war. When they took districts, it was with at least a tinge of saddness.
They sold districts to avoid taking too many but the lack of fights gets boring. I know they ran some scams on indies and honestly that pissed me off too. Not everyone in EoN has her in their hearts, some only have the krave for kredits. Several things motivated me to join the Anti EoN Coalition. For the fights, for the ISK, for the sake of the game, for the sake of EoN and her bored as hell mercs. Any EoN mercs down talking the indies that decided to step up are trying to motivate you. They may not realize it themselves, but they want you guys to try your hardest, otherwise it just won't be fun enough. They want you to look at EoN districts and feel the hate boiling inside you and believe the only option is to attack without the intention of holding back. Off the field, these guys are my best friends. On the field, through my bloodred eyes I can't remember who they are.
They didn't fail to police PC, they just didn't try. I they're so all powerful they could have organized things to be somewhat approaching balanced. Someone who knows they should share a pie with their friends so that they'll stay at the party, but then proceeds to eat 3/4 of it, isn't trying.
I suggest if these attacks don't produce the desired result that EoN should institute a tier system. All their corps and others that can hang are "gold". They have 1/2 the planets. The other half go to the "silver" corps, like mine, to fight for. New corps trying to break in can compete unmolested for districts in one system that has 5-10 districts. That enables everyone to compete. The point would not be how many districts you own but what portion of your tier's districts you own. Bronze corps could dream of silver. Silver could dream of gold. Gold can have decent competition. Teamplayers would be the benevolent demigod watching over us mortals and saving the game instead of a fat dragon sitting on a pile of gold in a dead game. |

I love this idea actually. Hmmm...be sure to make this post it's own topic once we win. It has merit.
Thanks! Will do! Incidentally, at first I thought Oddelulf would be the perfect place for all the "bronze" corps to compete. Then I had second thoughts because it seemed like that would give them too many districts, but after looking at the star map I think it might be ideal. I need to run the numbers. I'll definitely post this in detail soon. |
