Boosters for FW are ok because it allows early access,ISK returns,and the most important thing is it's temporary.
Meaning you have to keep getting boosters to keep the effect.

This is how the agent is broken it's permanent.
Everything permanent that CCP has offered so far has been low level,but this would be high level.

But,if the agent worked like boosters...
That wouldn't be as broken.

It's the perminance that bothers me.

Update: Alright, we've established this isn't particularly pay to win, but increasing ISK returns through booster use should cause concern for teams that coordinate opposing FW deploys in order to boost ISK via ending matches fast with suicide cloning in starter suits. Unlike PC there is no initial price investment to start a match (i.e. clone packs). ISK boosting cannot currently be achieved due to LP items previously being unable to be sold. Now with NPC vendor and triple faction booster stacking abilities, players may be able to coordinate large farming efforts to generate large amounts of ISK with relative ease.

EDIT: This isn't like Eve's Plex system where I give CCP money for an in-game card that I can then sell to another player and receive ISK. ISK is being generated from thin air at a rate higher for a player who pays as opposed to a player who doesn't.

Going by the current math, players with high FW levels are going to earn a minimum 600k every match after they sell their goods--this applies to all players on both teams as LP payouts don't scale with player contribution. If a corp wanted to gain ISK for whatever purpose they could stick 32 players in a match and gain about 20 million ISK for the corp each match. This ability to create ISK out of thin air so quickly really devalues it and the impact of resource scarcity.

A lot of game mechanics seems borked by this diminished nature of resource scarcity. It's the ISK generating potential over pubs and PC via farmers that seems problematic. Who says the same people farming have to be the A team that fights your PC battles?

I've always been up in arms about BPO's being anything but Vanity items. Thing is, I learned my lesson trying to convince people because Dusters don't give a **** about Eve's economy; they don't notice the effects they have on it.

It goes along with the idea the Leither brought up in the podcast that the introduction of these things now decreases the potential of a meaningful EVE integration down the line. It may also signify the higher likelihood of an asset reset down the line in Legion as caution is thrown to the wind now.

EDIT: By the way did you know PC territories gives POS bonuses in Molden Heath? Just in case you weren't aware, I know a lot of Eve Players don't bother to take advantage of that what with Low Sec being in a perpetual bad state.

Hell would you really want to live next to those pirates from Calamitous Intent?

maybe a more constructive thing to push on would be to make DUST FW less of a schizoid human random number generator and allow EVE pilots to direct mercs at needed support hotspots.

Just a thought.

That would have a more positive effect than any ranting about a 15% ISK agent.

They shouldn't have to do that.

This sort of functionality needs to be in the hands of Dust players.

We need to be able to set up our own battles, during our time zones, where we choose....other wise we'd be limited by an artificial mechanics that is our of our control.....more over unfortunately unless you had and EVE player aligned to your corp/ whatever you'd never experience the full FW experience as X corp would specifically form a contract for Y Dust group and no one else.

Why are we not able to simply initiate attacks on districts when and where we choose? Or respond to the attacks of our counter part militia's?

As I see it why not allow players to either launch an attack on a specified district at which point generates a contract for a set amount of time 5-10 Mins that can be accepted by another team before being autofilled by match making.

Meaning if players want to launch specific and targeted strikes they must do so at intervals and risk another organised team competing against them, other wise they are either match made against X randoms or deployed with no opposition (much like how plexes can be flipped with no enemy even bothering to defend them).

Other wise players can que up to battles assigned to them by the AI/ Faction
