Kane Spero's Escrow Removal and Acquisition Services is living up to it's name. Now it is launching attacks against PFC corps that won't pay them protection money. Proving that paying for Kane's "insurance" really only insures you won't get attacked by him and his alliance.

There is also other services provided for that fee which makes it beneficial for all parties. We are not Stupid mr dark legion and co, it was in part your actions and others specific actions that made us organise like this and let it be known that spero is acting in unison with the council. If that doesnt make its way to your brain then so be it...

Not in charge. But I have an answer and my own question.

Either zero or maybe one or two.

Why is that?

PFC has had many problems since it was first conceived. Originally it was made with the purpose of being a "leave the politics at the door" brawl zone for the larger corps. You can see how our notion of "graduating" does not apply to this timeframe

After, when it became clear that it wasn't going to be used in this manner, it was repurposed towards what it is supposed to be today. In TP we tried to get it to work right, but it never quite got there. A few problems kept it from becoming what we hoped it would be.

1. Neglect. Controlling 80+ districts and having no real incentive besides playing sheriff, we only really had time to do defenses and removals when we were not busy. We were unable to keep good intel on who was using the district as intended and our ability to keep it running suffered. DDB had enough of its own problems to deal with as well, and AE just don't care.

Outside forces will always have a hard time keeping up with what is actually going on the planet. The PFC/Protector format will alleviate this. It splits the job(THIS IS WORK, Don't kid yourself) in half.

As a result of #1.
2. Corps on PFC not using the district as intended. Includes district lockers, farmers, using the area as a beachhead, etc. A great many corps that have been involved on PFC have just used it to farm isk. They had no intention of getting better or anything like that. Because of this, the planet has never run at anything more than 50% efficiency.

3. Fear of outside threat. The corps on PFC paid good money (or illegally seized a district) to get there. Using the district as intended could have lead to an opportunistic attack from someone like Men in BLACK OPS on a low clone district. This fear and uncertainty may have caused an already low usage rate to fall even lower.

As a result of #2 and #3.
4. Few potential opponents. It Is hard to get a good feel for PFC if you just played one person all the time. If all you ever played was Pro Hic, you would think that PC was all just mass drivers and roof tops. Solid tactics aren't well learned from few sources.

5. No graduation timeframe . No incentive to leave PFC (or disincentive to stay). Incentive makes the world go round. If PFC is to succeed, I ask the PFC council to make hard guidelines/rules for people to eventually move off.

dont really know if someone already said this but killer zion produced some of the best players in closed beta before your clone was even thought of.
do ur history more then a few of the imps came from zion.
and in closed beta zion was also a power house.

when the imps were created it was a f.u.k.i.n nightmare.
because then was a perfected team of slayers and teamplayers who couldnt be beat.
there was other corps out there who were just as good but i just felt the need to tell you that zion at one point was a very good team.

Negative Feedback was created in closed beta in all actuality we use to fight team players. Now in uprising we have common goals and ambitions for dust 514. The community is in an "uprising" about Planet Fight Club (pun intended). What Negative Feedback is doing is a long term goal and what is best for dust 514 not individual corporations . I'll say it one more time being on Planet Fight Club is a privilege not a right so stop feeling so entitled to it.

People thinking anyone would do anything for free in an economy based game is just ignorant.

lol, have fun with this PR nightmare @Kane @Sota @Regnyum @Cubs

Wrong.

In fact, it would be ignorant to think everyone has the same philosophy as you regardling lolisk and reasons for doing certain things.

Just sayin

If they cared how they look... They probably don't understand or wouldn't believe how little Dusties think of them. They seem to believe anyone speaking ill of them is just butt-hurt and needs to "get gud". So why bother even talking about their little extortion scheme.

It's kind of interesting in an abstract way how giving people a way to indulge their worst impulses without repurcussions just brings out the dark side of human nature. I wonder what these people are like in real life?...

I find it disgusting you'd compare video game antics to reality. Regardless of how you personally feel, which is, by the way, just an opinion, an economic driven online game like this one is going to inspire new ideas and methods to work with and involve yourself and others in. You don't need to have any sort of villainous intent to come up with these things.

Now stop acting butt hurt and git gud.

Mad bro?

Hardly, just sharing the knowledge

Your ignorance has no end. Maybe you should research some behavioral studies on personalities and how they relate to peoples game interactions. I'll agree it is not an exact parallel but there is enough proof for Lanius to a least pose the question that he did.

You must have big plans for all your ISK in this economic driven online game or do you just slober and look at the screen when you look at your wallet? Goes back to why people hire ringers to hold on to a district. If you are not playing your own PC battles then you are just accumulating ISK for no reason. Or maybe to buy Proto suit for pub matches. This game is fun when you are playing it as a FPS but also fundamentally flawed. Good thing it is free...

New ideas? Funny, the mafia has been running protection rackets like this in one form or another for centuries. Original it ain't.

Why is it that the next big group in pc is always worse than the former? And I thought eon and RA were bad. Apologies to them. This is sick. Extortion of small corps is the absolute lowest. And of course ccp won't do anything about it because you know it would be the right and moral thing to do.

Was this comment a serious one? Behavior studies? Do you know ANYTHING about Psychology? If you did, you would know how inconclusive and unreliable most studies are. Especially one conducted on online behaviors.

Don't call others ignorant then prove yourself to be one.

And if there's no reason to gather ISK - why play? Obviously there IS a reason, maybe go watch 2009 Dust Demos.

Now hop off my D just because I'm making ISK and you want some. All you have to do is git gud. It's not that hard, kid.
