I wholeheartedly approve of just waiting for CCP to lower the PC entrance costs (as they plan to) rather than throwing your corp wallet out the window because some carebears want a fight, and can't handle another tryhard PC corp.

I've never heard anyone say ANYTHING about your corp, always just been a name.
Now this thread just shows you're an obnoxious douche like all the other PC corps.

You aren't even a well-known obnoxious douche; this thread is just a pathetic cry for attention.

Indeed. It ends up being a strain on the "protectors", and then comes the time when they just can't deliver beacause, you know, the game isn't a job... and then crying ensues on the forums about that too >.<

The fact is that for a community effort like this you need a healthy and willing community. A handful of corps can pledge all they want and have all the good intentions, but that's not enough.

Adding a blue tag to this thread makes me rather uncomfortable.

Ringers don't win wars, corp teams do...

What a surprise to find Shepherd Grey whining, as per the usual. The political motivations are obvious and persistent across every single "help a noobie!" program (all of which have failed spectacularly, incidentally). If you're successful, you've gained political capital and alliances from whatever organizations you've "brought up". Even if you're unsuccessful, your post is a (disingenuous) attempt to harvest good will from players and the community at large who don't realize the impossibility of the plan.

Almur met with...great success? Where are the successful teams? Don't make me laugh.

Everything in PC is political, and devs really should stay well and clear of it.

I don't have a problem with Cap Acq but I DO have a problem against those Nyan Syan (misspelled) those pricks think they are all badass = NO THEY ARE ******* NOT!!

Why don't you go and comment somewhere else. Sick and tired of seeing your stupid name and even your corp name. I bet you don't even play the game since, you love to troll here. Go troll on BuggyField 4 ok.

Kids will be kids and you acting just like one.

I will attempt to address the concerns raised since my last post as best as I can.

Since we have removed the fact that this isn't a political move with ISK motivation, the accusation diverts to some sort of PR "save face". I am still unclear as to where your misguided prejudice towards me derives from, considering we have never formally/personally interacted in any form or fashion whatsoever prior to this date. Simple as this: I have zero to gain from you being happy with what my organization or I do. To say that pursuing public approval from a video game population is somehow my goal is a complete farce, and you should contemplate the actual purpose of your statements. Rather, point out the possible faults within the system to assist in creating one with practicality.

Ringer usage can't be avoided, but inhibited. Lower the reward for ringers in lower tier zones, lower the chance of seeing them. In its current state, PC payouts are really what the lower tier should be - as there is almost no profit margin for proto users. With this low payout setup, low-tier teams will be encouraged to use proto sparingly and instead focus on tactics and teamwork as they battle each other to improve their overall skill. You simply can't remove the merc aspect of the game, but make it less lucrative for top guys to participate in low-tier affairs.

We had to play the same game, beating a team twice and then getting stomped by 15-man ring teams on the third battle for the flip -- essentially making our efforts a complete waste of time. But, these experiences actually improved us as a team to be more prepared the next time that same team shows up. Using ringers against you is a nod to the skill YOU have as a team, and you should take it as a compliment they have to rely on help to win in the first place.

This proposed "Security Counsel" aka "Player-controlled CONCORD" is pretty much what's been going on this entire time. However, it has been abused in the past or completely neglected altogether at the detriment of smaller or less experienced corps. Nevertheless, it is still the case that those at the top essentially police MH in what way they see fit. I can say, that those I communicate with on a daily basis that have the power to manipulate MH have no apparent desire to do so in a malicious manner that benefits them.

Thanks for the feedback so far, keep it up
