The "Abyss" drop uplink can only be purchased with aurum and has a spawn time modifier of -75% making it the best in the game. The number of spawns on this uplink are only 5, but that is irrelevant as they will be have a short lifespan in PC anyway.
On top of that, the uplink can only be used if you have proficiency V. This means that the uplink was designed from the very start to give an advantage to people who had their skills maxed out, NOT simply giving people with lower sp a shortcut to the same tools readily available to everyone else.
Clearly intentional pay to win on CCP's part, and NOT an accident.

In a perfect world I'd agree, but I think we both know that's not how change happens round these parts. |

Best LP uplink is -65%, Aurum is -75%. That is a 1 second difference.
And no, it doesn't disappear on death. |

DRRRRAAAAAMAAAA LLLAAAAMMAAAAA!!!!
Back on the short bus, kiddo. |

No, Renegade owns half of Molden Heath because it was given to them and then 90% of their opposition quit the game.
They are able to retain half of Molden Heath because they are able to abuse timers that nobody gives a damn about contesting, courtesy of Nyain San.
And I'm able to hold onto 12 districts because of bullshit locking mechanics and CCP's inability to fix the obvious.
It's an ugly world out there, kid. |

If two evenly skilled teams on equal footing collide, victory will come down to whoever has the better equipment.
This also extends to how fast they are able to respawn.
Any argument stating otherwise come only be made from someone purposely trolling, or with a complete lack of any experience in the matter.

Skip to 18:08, look at that map, and tell me if uplinks dying after a few spawns is a concern to anybody. |

Who the frakk does PC anymore? All districts have been locked as far as I know.
You know precious little, it seems.
PC is still happening. It's just incredibly non-consensual. |
