Dear CCP,
Please remove ALL PC combat for the foreseeable future. Do NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE open the rest of New Eden to PC combat. Why? Because as of this moment, of the 243 districts that could be owned by corporations and alliances, 238 of them are owned by a single alliance.
Now I know, players would tell me to HTFU and just get better at playing the game, but in all honesty the PC's are set up to reward players with the laggiest connection to the rest of the world. I'm tired of wasting my isk on PC matches that I know will most likely not win because we will lag so unbelievably hard that crossing the street seems like a daunting task.
What would happen if you were to open the rest of New Eden? Sure, initially there would be some new corps with new districts. However, you would see the alliance that already has a large number of districts taking up the majority of the new districts. Why you may ask? Because they would have the money and the clones to attack all the new districts and take them. Eventually you would see what is happening now. A single alliance gathering all the districts under a single rule.
SO! Until the lag issues can be resolved, I ask that you do not give into the whims of an alliance already so powerful due to their district ownerships and massive lag usage, and instead I ask that you remove ALL PC combat for the time being.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Your Multi-purpose Everything User

Also, dont blame 'lag' as the reason for losses as it will just invite people to troll as PC players have been having to deal with lag since the games 'launch'. PC consists of corps from almost every region of the globe so its not like lag is being intentionally created as a game mechanic, its just an unfortunate product of memory leaks brought on by socket design and server mechanics.
I will continue to say this to anyone trying to propose changes to the game - Always think about how it benefits the game overall when you are making suggestions.
How will it impact the health of the game?
How will it impact the playerbase as a whole?
How will it move the game forward?
If I were you, I would answer these questions in your post as it would seem as if you are proposing something to benefit the game other than seem like its just a complaint and you wish to punish people because they stole all the cookies.
Flaws I see with your plan:
- No proposed replacement for competitive play - Half the reason mercs are involved in PC is because it is a guaranteed 16v16 against the best of another corp where you dont have to worry about blueberries.
- No proposal for how PC could be fixed - All that is stated is that its about lag and the fact that one alliance is dominating right now. If there is something wrong with it, what can be done to fix it that is good for the game and its players overall?
- There is no attempt to get people on your side - If you want something to succeed dont make it an us-vs-them scenario. You are automatically put people against you from the outset
Well, you are right. I have given no proposal in replacement for the PC that I wish to have removed. Why? Because everything I could suggest has already been suggested by numerous other players.
- Bring back merc contracts
- PvE battles
- Allow Teams to form rather than just squads
- Put in a system of PC battles that require risk or some serious loss. Something to offer a cost/benefit ratio. Maybe an AI attacks it, or randomly takes over a district, maybe a district has a limited life. 10-30 days of time before the district deceases? Maybe the districts per planet change on a regular basis. There are plenty of ways to make it so that the PC districts themselves are difficult to keep a hold of.
- Make it so that the clones are not automatically sold. Why isn't there a select a district and buy from? That way you weaken yourself potentially but you make money.
- Why just clones? Why not expendable equipment?
"don't blame lag" I know that Lag is part of PC, but there are matches where the lag is so bad that I can drive a lav and die for no reason at all. I can fall 30 times and take fall damage to the point where I die even though I only fell maybe 10 meters. I have frozen in mid air several times. I have 'rubber-banded' all over the map. It is impossible to play PC matches and while I still try every once in a while, it is pointless to play. Yes, not all lag is intentional, but then why is it standard practice to find the enemy's equipment spot and blow it up? And no I do not mean a strategically placed equipment spot that will benefit a squad or team but rather at the initial spawn point. Sometimes it's so loud and bright that it's deafening and blinding.
It is true that removing PC will not make the game move forward and could be a reason why some players leave all-together, but I'm not asking for its permanent removal, just a temporary removal while new solutions are implemented. There should never be a passive isk reward with close to zero cost/risk and there should never be a time in Dust where an alliance can make over 200 million isk a day without doing nearly anything at all.
