This poster didn't even read the original post.
I have no problem fighting for a district, I have a problem fighting the same people over a district every single time despite said district being owned by a completely different corporation each time.
Just saying, I don't see the point in owning a district if all the profits you make from it are just going to pay off mercenaries to defend it for you.
Doesnt concern you
If they want to do that let them, either way you have to beat the players in front of you to gain or defend that district
What would you prefer?
A) corps barely showing up because not enough on at that time to field a full team
B) corps bring in merc/alliance members so they can field a full team
Lol, it does concern me BECAUSE I'M THE ONE FIGHTING THEM!
Honestly, it's not even about them not being able to field enough people on time because of two points that seem to have completely blown over your head:
A.) THEY set the reinforcement timer, not us. THEY chose when the fight was going to happen.
B.) This battle is going on to it's third day in row - with which we've won twice but didn't have enough clones to keep going.
I don't care who they bring to the fight, we're still going to the fight and we're intent on taking the district. It just seems silly to me that, knowing this, the corporation would spend all of their profits on hiring mercenaries. Being as the average for hiring a mercenary is right around 3,000,000 ISK per person (not including vehicles) they're spending THREE TIMES what they'd be making from that district every day.
So, the longer this gets drawn out the more money they're spending - far more than we are. Eventually they're going to either run out of expendable income or realize what's happening and just abandon the district. If they're smart, that is. I mean, they're about to waste another bushel of ISK in defending this district, which puts them at almost 100,000,000 in expenses by my uneducated estimate. Even if I'm wrong, they're still spending more than they'd gain in the same amount of time.
Considering this, I think these mercenaries should be asking for more money for an extended engagement...
