Unfortunately, for various reasons, P.C. became the domain of the few; the largest and/or most dedicated corporations (corps), with the skills, dedication, ISK, or simply the willingness to utilise the most exploits and/or time zone inconveniences, who prevailed. This came to a point, where all districts were owned by a single corp. And thus exploited by those who wish to make huge ISK gains for practically no effort and in turn steamrolling public matches and causing grief with those ill gotten gains. At the height of this bad behaviour, some corps were making billions of ISK per week and potentially spreading that wealth between their few dozen members. Obviously this was detrimental to the overall economy and public matchmaking.
Here is an attempt to answer the questions you posed at Fanfest 2015 during the DUST514 roundtable. The main question we feel that needed answering was : Making planetary conquest lucrative, yet not exploitable to all.
The intent with this document is then to suggest a series of possible changes to DUST514GÇÖs P.C. construct, to increase both the number of battles (and other activity), as well as to extend the range of participation beyond the core corps.
This proposal is not a magic pill and will not cure all, it is just a proposal. The ideas expressed are from gamers who live and breathe DUST514. Some of these proposals require a complete revamp of their current mechanics taking them back to the base fundamentals, whilst others will require more Eve involvement and very minor U.I. changes. All in all P.C. is about the End Game for all players, for fun and profit. We do feel a need to highlight that this work started before the new P.C.-related currencies of Black Market Kredits (BMK) and Command Points (CP) were first discussed. That particular thread from CCP appears to be focused purely on math and on balancing these 2 new currencies, and we have taken a different direction in this Proposal.
