The potential problem I see is this change goes in and then we end up with no one wanting land. I'm not sure if prestige is enough.

You cant answer that question alone

The problem with PC runs alot deeper than just passive ISK

It needs a complete overhaul and starting from scratch

To obtain the blue donut should be hard as hell but if no one is intrested in PC like it is now then it will be easier

No one gives a **** about PC anymore, it doesnt really offer anything or mean anything

I don't think anyone would fight with PC 1.0 mechanics if passive ISK was taken away. Why would someone spend 100 or so million taking a district if there was no return on investment?

Now if clone packs were 5 or 10 million ISK AND passive ISK was taken away, I'd say hell yeah people would fight. But this would be glorified corp battles solely on the basis of wanting to play in a team deploy setting. It would take away any and all conquest strategy out of PC (of which there was little anyway).

The full question is this

'If PC had no passive ISK, would you still play it even tho it would be exactly the same as it is now and no gameplay/mechanic changes would take place?

I can tell you what most players answers would be to the full question, it would be no, why would it be no? because nothing would change, the blue donut still exists, small corps dont give a crap, big corps dont care and farm pubs, donut wont care because its not hard to sell clones manually and they still keep the donut, PC would still suffer framerate/lag problems etc


You cannot answer OP question because it is a **** question, its redundant, the problems of PC far outweigh this and even if it changes would it infact change anything? no it wouldnt

Well it's pretty easy to see what kains ulterior motive is with the question, based on his responses throughout the thread.

He knows that CCP is looking into removing the passive isk in the meantime to cut back on the Farmville game, and kain does not want that at all. So he Created this thread looking to garner support, yet received barely any.

So because this was a **** thread asking a question that does nothing to change PC beyond culling gameplay that was never intended, people started going to the topics that actually had to do with makin PC a playable game mode instead of kains personal agenda.

Btw, since you might be too busy wiggling your tongue around in kains ******* to notice, repeatedly creating posts telling others they are off topic is also off topic.

Have a go? where it costs 50mil per attack?

It means only the rich can wage war while the peasents are left to pubs

I said that on page 1 and we have gone around in a full circle now

ISK only for fighting is even worse than Passive ISK, as there would be no point to hold land. The district would have no value. It would not matter if you were the attacker or defender.

Districts need to have a way to make ISK for a Corp that requires effort on the part of the members of that Corp. The system needs to insure that the more districts your Corp has, the more work it is to keep them all making ISK. You should need 1000 active members to hold all of MH and keep the districts pumping our ISK at full capacity. Obviously we need to get rid of District Locking.

- PVE
- Industry
- Complicated District based mining setups similar to PI in EVE.

Districts should provide the potential for big profits, but it should require work to actualize that potential.

If you can't beat them now then what makes you think that you can beat them with no passive income? They are good at playing the game and that isn't going to change.
