More to follow later. lol theres only like 50 players playing PC right now anyways. that PC lag is your biggest killer of the game. Maybe because they get crushed by the best 16 everytime they try?

Anyways...
Ringers are a problem. but...
As someone who ringers for others.: My corp is not large enough to field a full team so majority of my PC battles come from helping other corps in their PC battles.
As someone who owns districts because of ringers: Many people out there have the same problem as me they do not have enough members in there corp so ringing is the only way they get battles. Getting rid of ringers would push a lot of people out of PC because they don't want to join a mainstream corp.
I would not mind some limitation on ringers, but i feel like at least alliance ringers should be allowed unrestricted or else there would not be much reason for alliances or advantages of alliances.

Whatever mechanism there would be to limit Ringers must be effective enough that Corp size matters, that Corps/Alliances can't simply rely on a relatively small number of players to fight a majority of battles (thus ignoring growth of a Corp, providing experience to novice/intermediary players), and that it prevents Corps/Alliances from locking a number of districts.
Otherwise, you simply end up with a system ready to be abused.
As we ARE mercenaries, I don't think ringing should be eliminated, but it certainly must be kept in check, or else a minority of mercs will limit the ability of a significant number of people from real, meaningful PC participation.

PC Districts could be put into SP driven tiers.
A teams fight over A districts, but not B or C. B and C teams fight over districts of lesser worth, but can participate in the A tier fights if needed.
Mercs will make Alts to fight in the lower tiers. Maybe they already have alts and will purchase respecs to specialize those alts to contribute better in their tiers.
Money will be made.
PC will be more inclusive.
Ringers using their 50mil+ toons would be limited to the most valuable districts, but which would grant the greatest rewards.
Lower tier mercs will cut their teeth in the lesser districts and dream of the day they get called up into an A tier fightGǪ
Joy will be had.

More to follow later. Hey man, ringing is my only main source of income. How am I going to feed my kids? If ringers become scarce, good ringers go up in price? More money for you I guess
Concerns somewhat allayed by inference of economic concepts...... but what about fielding entire mercenary teams to achieve specific ends?
Is this ever likely to be a possibility?

listen the little corps in PC will all ways get stomped by more experienced players there ain't no changeing that. at least fix it so they aren't lagging while getting stomped because that right there has made 1000s of players quit after trying 1 battle. this game would probably be 10 times more boring without ringers but if you think some how it will make the game better for new players then try it. what would happen is all the vets would join 3 corps and stomp out all the little corps and get bored fighting each other. this changes the game in no way shape or form. waisting a whole patch once again while the core of the game is still broken 2 1/2 year in.

More to follow later. Perhaps add a "fee" for bringing ringers. have it increase exponentially once you are over a certain amount. for example, 4 ringers incurs a penalty of 200,000. 5 ringers is 1 mill. 6 ringers is 3.5 mill. On and on until you receive no profit for the battle over a certain amount of ringers.

Well the somewhat forlorn hope here is that whatever changes made will substantially improve accessibility to PC. Either way, who gives a **** about the health of the current PC iteration? You can't get deader than dead.

I think a way to build teams is key to making it less of a beat down getting ready for PC.
I think 2.5 mil for "clone programming" per non-alliance player.
I think raiding districts and team deploy in faction warfare have to happen. PC itself will have to be very lucrative to create progression. I think a total revamp is needed in the reward structure. It should be obvious that the majority of the people playing this game are not motivated to rise to the highest levels of the game.
With such a low PC population it's hardly surprising it's all down to ringers. |

More to follow later.
I made this suggestion a long time ago: Clone penalties for every non-corp member on your team. For example, say you have a battle with 150 clones on each side. Team A has 12 corp members and 4 alliance ringers in the battle, whereas Team B has 3 corp members, 10 alliance ringers and 3 mercenaries from outside of the corp/alliance.
For Team A, they could face a two or three clone penalty for each alliance ringer. We'll go with 3, so that would leave Team A to fight with 138 clones in the battle.
For Team B, they'd lose thirty clones for the alliance ringers in addition to another 15 clones for the 3 mercs (higher penalty for bringing in help from outside of the alliance) leaving them with 105 for the battle.
This way, you'd be rewarding corps for fielding full teams while also still allowing for the benefits of an alliance (reduced clone penalty) as well as letting the truly elite ringers come with a risk/reward price tag.

When we deploy clones to a district some are lost in the way. Every corp has a location depending on how far the ringers corp is from the attacked or defended district then that clone loss would be subtracted from the total clones in the actual pc. This wouldultimately use the logic already used in deploying clones across de galaxy and thus implementing this same thing in deploying ringers.
Those who do not risk have already lost..

Not everyone is really out to be respected, liked or be nice. Some just like to pick fights and kick down sand castles. That's the fun part of PC, not really the battles themselves. The meta game is engaging.
Also taking away ringers is going to hurt a lot of smaller corps. the large and vet corps will adapt quickly to it. The small corps will still be small and now won't be able to fill the last few spots because a lot of smaller corps can't field 16 at a time. If there are current ringers that are not in a PC they will be joining the large corps, not the small corps. This might possibly lower the corps in PC to lower than what i currently is.

Just add high-sec district battles in which only players from the corps that are fighting can compete, lower ISK payout, but maybe include a betting system and spectator mode that anyone can click into. Sort of like the Arena modes CCP promised us years back. |

Yes, but the result of the ownership of said district should then be cut into segments. giving a % of ownership to the corp of each player involved. If you want an ally corp to assist with a takeback, mayhaps their "fee" is 10% of the district etc.
This would add another layer of risk to those who think just to grab as large a group as possible to take over a location. Unless you can get them all to hand over their %'s, the area won't be exclusively owned. Yadda yadda.
