This is quite interesting to read... If this holds true and happens without fail, my personal grudge against Cap Acq will change.

I like your idea and hope it all goes well.

This will take effort from the Corps supporting it, and the benefits will go to those that participate. While it may be hard for some of you to picture, most of the PC corps want to see more activity, this is the best way to achieve that..

I have seen some of the smaller corps, H84D, Destiny Immortals, YAMAH, in battles where they just cannot hit the opposition back, this is boring for the team winning, practically torture for those on the losing side, overall bad for PC. So any idea to separate activity into tiers capable of fighting each other is a good one, it just needs support. This proposal offers no real reward for supporting it, but that is the Corps choice, do they want to be part of growing PC, or killing it??

We can point the finger all day at who caused what, the fact is those active in PC can and should make these changes.

Deciding what corps qualify as 'new' will be tricky, some have lasted a while on not got off the ground yet, so while they are technically not new, they may be struggling and they need to battle other teams of their skill level.

Good Luck anyway, DMG will support any solid proposal to get new blood trained into PC. This looks good.

Note: The tiered systems would really help, having corps choose to stick to this will not be easy going, certainly at first.
If CCP Rattati is still stalking this, the best way to have this plan implemented is to make a few changes to MH.

- lower payouts in the 'safezone' systems (OR penalties to payouts for experienced corps attacking them)
- higher payouts in 'warzone' systems, Fittikan/Almur fit this well imo

To stop corps taking an entire region, simply make a change so it is not possible, we've seen 100% aimed for and it didn't do PC any favours bar the fountains of ISK flowing from it, so removing the ability to take entire planets/systems is one option.

If they aren't badazz ...why are you crying about them in this thread for no reason. Get rekt fgt. Please point to where the Nyain's touched you?

Hell NO!!! I've been shown NO mercy by the Mercs in so called TOP TIER CORPS. So I will thoroughly enjoy returning the favor by taking districts with my Amigos. See you all very,very, soon.
This is not a diss on anybody but I want no handouts. I've worked my way up and saved up so much damn ISK just to be told I'm going to get it for free.

Yes, a "luxury" of being in a top corp. I've seen these "top corps" falter in battle on more than one occasion. My main point is that your success isn't haltered by ringers but your own mentality. You lose and go about blaming it on the ringers.

These "ringers" aren't gods, don't have unbeatable magic powers, one shot wonder weapons, or any number of other crazy ideas you can come up with. In my time with my other corp, DDB, this was always a hot topic for many in leadership. OMG, they brought OH, these guys can't beat us on their own.

Straight from the git go, the mentality was "oh noes, we have a fight on our hands and not a stomp". If we lost it was always the ringers fault. It wasn't the incredibly poor tactics the FC choose to use or their inability to adapt to the changing environment. Not the players on our side that ran off point to chase down kills or do their own thing at their teams expense.

No, it's those ringers apparently, not a failure on your own corps part. I've watched as a team fielded nearly their own 16, few ringers, and watch as we "magically" lose the battle. What then do you blame it on, are you going to finally admit that it's a failure on your part.

Nope, let's blame it on the ringers they brought in that carried their team.

It's the corps with this mentality of "I can't win, cause ringers. OMG if they fielded their own people we would stomp them" Sometimes yes maybe, if they fielded their own. Many times it easily goes both ways. But the instant ringers come in, everyone gets in this "we lost" mentality.

Lose and learn a little. Use what you observed, determine strengths and weaknesses in your tactics. What they did that beat you, ect, ect, ect. If you can't get over losing to strong ringers, you will always and ever be a small and weak corp. Your PC play will always be sub par.

I would suggest que syncing factional or pubs if you want an easy win or "fair" fight. It's the best you will ever do with your mentality about PC fights. Plenty of pub stompers out there, maybe just accept your team is just one of them if "ringers" are what prevents you from making progress in PC.
