Are you serious, prioritizing limited resources is the most important aspects of the Hotfixes. Adding LP items for a tiny FW playerbase over doing something better for the majority. Not really difficult to understand.

WORTH YOUR TIME????? I thought your time was meant to be spent on the game but obviously I was incorrect. You "haven't played FW in a long time" and do not even bother to ask someone in the office with you what the basic mechanics are before you deem it not worth your time. Did you even stop to think that participation numbers were due to the fact that over half the items are missing leaving a random assortment of players who actually benefit from it in the smallest way? What about the fact that half the player base has no idea what factional warfare even is or how any of it works?

Why would factional be worth any players time when they can hardly get their primary suit and 1/4th of the fitting? Simply put LP items are not extra content they are copy / paste of AUR items and calling them otherwise is only making excuses.

Faction warfare is the only reason I log in anymore and why I have a channel with more than 50 players logged in to it by 1 EST every day. Faction warfare is why I went back to spending money on this game. AND THE KICKER..... faction warfare is why I got EVE and have spent real money there as well along with a few other corp mates that did the same because it is the only way to find any fun in this game.

Congrats.... for myself and a minimum of 20 other players that I play with every day, you just managed to go from hero to zero!

This is all well and good.... but the fact that Standing and Militia status is not in the game just means it lacks any real meaning.....when one player can run 100 Min FW matches then go Amarr for another to get Uplinks....... to be used against the Amarr...... its ******* ridiculous.

Yeah I hate that.

What was the thing about Militia and Standard Standings?

Honestly, I haven't played FW in a long time, but isn't there a decrease in standings by playing for the other Factions. It should and it's something we can take a look at, if there is a fixed amount setting or a %.

Extra content, you probably know as well as I do that we don't have it. We can add new LP items, but we need to see FW participation numbers go up to make it worth our time.

The patchnotes just got dropped like a bomb and im happy to see that we are getting 3 times more LP which means i can actually make complete fits from the FW store without running tons of matches in a row. You'll see alot more people going after that cause all the gear requires less skills to use and some of it have better fitting.

I think there is better competition in FW, at least there was last time I tried it, but I won't even queue it up because of 10 minute deploy times, **** payouts (should get more LP & ISK), **** LP Store, the fact that you aren't rewarded more for loyalty or penalized more for treachery, lack of TK insta-kick, no diversity in Faction battles (GvM, CvA?), etc.
All just to play Skirmish?
On the same maps and sockets?

Where's my motivation?
Give me 1 GOOD reason.

No you don't get it.... if the LOYALTY system does not inspire LOYALTY then it is fundamentally NOT ACHIEVING its purpose.

How about a market for the players to trade in... That benefits everyone... I want to make money selling Thales back to the redzone snipers... & then complain that people keep supplying them with more Thales, lol.

Can you elaborate, there are obviously lots of feelings involved but I don't get the exact point.
