Planetary Conquest End of Match rewards will be changed to a new rule, Team A recovers Team B's losses, split equally among team A's members, and vice versa. Biomass will no longer be awarded as a reward for winning, successfully defending or claiming a District is reward enough.

Recently I'm getting this vibe that the current design team is somehow under the impression that people PC for bragging rights first and in-game benefit second.

They are deeply confused if this is the case. Having a district is not a reward at all. Bragging rights aren't even a reward unless the player base is big enough for it to be considered some manner of feat. District ownership is a burden, and a pointless one. The only reason PC battles happen at all right now is because a few very enthusiastic teams use it as a bridge to challenge each other. There is no economic or in-game incentive to it whatsoever.

Dust is built on the concept of persistent, meaningful conquest of territory. I'm no longer certain that the word meaningful is being interpreted the same way between most of the playerbase and the devteam. Or at the very least, whoever wrote that.

Just go to Faction Warfare. At least there we get persistent, meaningful conquest of territory. I am not even joking if you think about it.

It kinda is the way it is cuz before u could lock your own districts endlessly and reap pure profit or schedule time (nyan san) to really early or late to avoid battles. If u went unchallenged provided endless isk for corpeations to stomp pubs endlessly. The fault lies will the players not ccp on this one. Their should be a different benifit like recieving random gear to be distributed by ceo and directors that would be a true benifit or slight sp or isk bonuses for matches or idk something practical.

I'm all for getting rid of farms, but like CCP does so often. they fix one problem and create 5 more.


Sure you stop 5% of the community from farming.
But you decreased the income of 100% of the entire PC community in the process. most everyday line members just playing for the isk payouts. Now is the really the most effective way of doing things?

I can't wait for PC 3.0 should hopefully fix a lot of things.

Agreed they do tend to mess things up a bit lol but more than 5% come on. Isk pay outs for battle should be more I agree but as for district farming uh uh. I would be happy if owning a district gave better benifits like discounts for gear idk again something practical.

New Eden is centered around the concepts of economy, industry and destruction.

An isk faucet isn't industry, it damages economy, but at least it encouraged destruction.

Currently PC has nothing to do with industry, nothing to do with economy, and does not encourage destruction. Although it could be said that APEX is equally harmful to the game as it also takes a massive dump on all of these concepts.

Simply saying "Oh, give them a discount!" would be a very low level and non-interactive form of game design. With resources you can introduce extraction and raiding, as well as industry being a no-brainer. With industry you can introduce the player market and there is your economy.

Umm ok thats my point in your first comment in this post you said I have 2 districts not even good for printing tp. Like I just said resources reward bonuses or gear rewards like I just said are adament reasons to wanna own districts. From your first post you made it sound like you (allot of people are though for that matter) are just but hurt for not being able to isk farm. Im not opposed to different things besides isk being givin hell I promote that.
