Blah blah, they get more WP than I do with less kills, it doesn't cost way more ISK and SP, it's the only reason for lag, etc etc. This is just like the people who want to get rid of the redline, finding solutions for the wrong problems.
1) flux grenades
2) make it so you can't drop nanohives within 20m of a supply depot or uplinks within 20m of each other.
Done.

We are searching here for a solution to prevent it and not to fix it in battle. But thanks for you're time and thoughts. Prevent it? Are you kidding? How about use common sense. If there's an uplink there already, hrmmmm...what to do....guess what--don't put another one down. But instead of common sense you are advocating artificial limits in game so that people no longer have to be situationally aware? Honestly, this game is more than just point and shoot. If people aren't capable of even simple thoughts: "oh, there's an uplink nearby already; maybe I shouldn't place one so close," then really maybe this isn't the game for them.
QFT.
Making massive changes to existing game mechanics is an often proposed but almost invariably short-sighted and counter productive "solution" to either the wrong problem or one that doesn't really exist. To wit:
1) Equipment spam causes lag, I hate lag: May or may not be true. How about we fix whatever it is about the equipment that allegedly causes the lag?
2) The map is hard to read: Fix the map, give us better zoom options and rotation.
3) People are just WP farming: Give them PvE or better matchmaking or gear-restricted game modes so they have an alternative to getting protostomped. This also goes along with the laughable "get rid of the redline" threads.
Basically what I am saying is we are going about this all wrong. Instead of completely destroying the way many victory- and team-oriented players (like myself) play this game which is already hemorrhaging active players there are any number of ways to restrict the objectionable and mindless uses of the equipment in question, like the thing about supply depots which I have literally suggested dozens of times in these forums already.
