Did something go wrong along the way or is this how CCP planed it?!
Billionaires Vs. The Poor
Grind for a half a year in starter / BPO suits, and you too can be rich.
Not only will it give you a huge pile of ISK to play with, at the end your skils will have advanced enough such that you don't die nearly as much....but your KDR will suffer in the interim. |

Your numbers, and the impact they have on the few that benefit as a result, are WAY off.
The (very few) people making all the money via PC farming were already rich to begin with, and the "billions a day" is just wrong.
That doesn't change the fact that farming is going on, and people are profiting from it, but to blame proto stomping on PC farming is a mistake, IMO.
The real culprit? Skill and equipment refunds.

I run proto virtually 100% of the time.
My corp is active in PC and we hold about 10 districts.
I have never received a DIME from my corp, except for losses in PC (and $2M I received for a win in PC last night).
Ergo, PC has NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER on my ability to run proto.
I can afford to run proto because (a) the two refunds, (b) six months of grinding with starter/bpo suits, and (c) my skill level (which, compared to some is quite modest).
Kind of shoots a hole in the common misunderstanding that a broken PC mechanic leads to protostomping, doesn't it?
Is it true that some protostompers use funding from locked districts to enable it? Sure.
Is the problem as widespread as some in this thread would have you believe? Not even close. |
