This thread here in the feedback section is calling for Corp Battles to return, but I want to go as far as to say that they should replace Planetary Conquest until a new system is in place (PC 2.0).
Renegade Alliance controls Molden Heath much in a way that Eon did months ago. As you can see in the link 639 members control a staggering amount of ISK generation (see this link on Dust Charts for details). On a side note I will personally pay someone 40 million ISK to go on Dustboard to get a member list of that alliance and create a spreadsheet with activity levels of the players. You can do this by creating an alt and adding those 639 members to your contact list and then looking at the monthly leaderboards. My point there is that in reality you are more than likely talking about less than 200 players actively participating in their PC operations. If we can find those details and show how much ISK is being generated per day per active player I think people would lose their minds.
This is important because I'm not sure people understand the implications to the economy. CCP removed the BPOs from the game because we are told it hurts the economy. They make you grind away in FW without an ISK reward while waiting for a player market to be released. Players that actually fight in pubs are walking away with bread crumbs of profits as opposed to those that hide in the red line not risking losses.
I want to point out that I respect these guys as players, how could you not? They are amazing at Dust. And I don't want to leave out guys like Fatal Absolution that are taking it to them on a small scale. But this about the health of Dust, this is about more people getting involved in the competitive game mode that we have for Dust.
The mechanics of PC as they stand allow for less than 200 players to put their throat on a game mode that generates obscene amounts of ISK. I'm not going to go into clone packs and the likelihood of flipping districts with clone packs. I'm not going to go into the 24 and 48 hour timers or weird time zones.
The bottom line is that once this tipping point is reached most people give up. There are very few people willing to take that monster on due to the current mechanics. I understand that there are other things that CCP is working on but the situation in PC has been bad for some time. It's time to pull the game mode.
I'd say that it's as bad of a situation from a economic standpoint if we released Proto BPOs that are active as long as you reside among the top 100 on the leaderboard.

I'm not blaming them.
If it was McDonalds INC alliance I'd be having the same discussion. It's about the mechanics. It's actually being discussed at length in the War Room and in the Feedback section of the forums.
There is just such a small amount of the playerbase that understands PC and what is going on that I think some effort needs to be made to make that clear.
It's game breaking and has been for quite some time.
There are 100s of players in Dust who will not have to EVER worry about ISK. EVER

I actually respect what Renegade has been able to do and what Eon was able to do before it.
But I want to be clear that Renegade WOULD NOT have been able to do it if Eon hadn't gone inactive.

Fatal Absolution has been beating AE and Nyan San quite a bit, but if they unlocked their districts they'd lose them all within a week and their corp would likely implode like many other elite corps have before them.
The mechanics are broken and they have been for some time.
It should take enough players to field 20 or 30 teams to hold 100+ districts.

But in the meantime many of the players that decided to corp hop on the bandwagon will never have to worry about ISK again.

You are dead-on correct, Thor.

The only ones farming without any risk would be the corps that lock districts.
Do people in EvE cry about someone else having more ISK?

200 people couldn't control 50% of null sec. There is a system in Eve with a war going on that has had 4000 ships in system.
Different animal. If there were mechanics similar in Eve that allowed so few to control they'd be burning down Jita again.
But there are still players shooting at the MCC in Dust. It's a different animal altogether.

It's not that it's no risk. They dominated to get where they are, but they did so during a time when very few were active in PC after Eon stomped everyone's ass.
If not for STB getting back into PC and obtaining a bunch of districts I think it would still be dead.

After the FEC wore them down and multiple Eon corps backed out of PC. There was 10s of billions of ISK spent by a combination of random small corps and a mix of several larger corps.
Do you honestly believe that you could have taken over a 100 districts from Eon if they would have been active? The stupid mechanics of PC burnt them out and they quit.

Good question. I suppose the stupid mechanics and the cost involved doesn't interest anyone.
Similar to the scenario that happened after Eon sold all over their districts off. There was a little bit of random fighting here and there that was usually filled with ringers from you guys, the leftovers of Eon, or Outer Heaven.
Look man, I'm really honest to God not hating on you guys. That's not what this is about.
I'm not sure if you are able to comprehend that and I'm not sure if I would if the roles were reversed, but this is not coming from malicious intent.

Not at all man.
The mechanics being changed would lead to more fun in the end for you guys as well. Hell Ariana has a thread going about it.
It's just that I don't think CCP has any intention on changing it for quite some time. Shining some light on the realities of it might actually get the average player to understand what's really happening.

I was there. You guys all bounced from Hellstorm and left us holding the bag within three days of that war starting.
Eon went on unchecked for a few months. You couldn't hold a district while Eon was active. I remember Cubs swearing he wouldn't allow you guys to hold land.
If not for the FEC war on Eon you guys would be in a similar spot that Fatal Absolution is in now.
THAT'S the truth.
