It's a good idea, we've given up probably over 50 districts by now, most for free. Then the corps that take them, turn around and lock it, so no point. So we simply quit giving up land.

That's the point of all of this though, Kujo. AE will take districts from a corp and give it to even weaker corps, right? But then those weaker corps will lose their districts to corps that can't compete with AE. Then what happens?...AE takes the districts back from those corps again and the cycle is repeated.

Only solution is to remove the threat of the big boys from the equation. The corps that all other corps can't compete against should just merc out. I'm 100% sure that corps will stop locking their districts if that threat is removed. And I'm sure more corps would participate in pc because they won't be scared of the big boys. They would be able to compete with all of the other corps on their level in pc.

This isn't a bad idea. Corps would have to choose which battles to have their A team in and would cut down on these A team players ringing for indie v. indie corp battles. Too many times when I was in a small indie corp attacking or defending against other indie corps did "elite" players show up to ring for the other side. That's what I believe really keeps indie corps from coming into PC. They're afraid if they get a district big bad PC corps will steam roll them out of their district and all the ISK they spent on clone packs to get it. When I was in a small indie corp we managed to flip 2 districts, after many many clone packs and attempts. One was taken from us by STB the other by Molden Heath Police Department, both corps are no where near indie level. We stood no chance. The real problem I see with PC is all the strong corps/players blue with each other to farm ISK and then complain they "have no good battles". Sure it's a war game where "politics" are involved but don't sit there and complain there's no good battles out there when all your "elite" corps blue with each other for no other reason or benefit than to farm ISK from your districts. You're just as bad as district lockers in the long run. Giant blue donuts ruin PC just as much as district locking. If you beg to differ please feel free to voice your constructive opinion. Or you can QQ more about district locking while it continues just to spite your blue donut.

I completely agree with this. it seems at this point RA wants to control the entirety of MH though. Which is fine and viable, if thats what they want to do. But don't come here saying thats not what you want when thats all you've been doing. I've seen AE give away districts to smaller corps then NS take them right back. Its quite pathetic. RA is in a position to change the way PC is and has been. If you don't want to do it no one will force you to, but you should seriously consider Ydubbs and Arirana's ideas. Do what EoN and PD didn't, use your current standings for something other than ISK farming.

Silence speaks volumes, the views speak for themselves Honestly its a moot point unless the "big dogs" agree to it. As Kujo and Arirana said they won't be doing anything until district locking is fixed, which will probably never happen. Not to mention they said they would campaign to take 100% of Molden Heath if that was the case anyways. Doesn't sound very helpful to the livelihood of PC.
