YOU NEED IT TO BE BALANCED IN ORDER FOR PEOPLE LIKE US TO PLAY! WE WILL GLADLY BE YOUR WORK HORSES FOR A VAST EMPIRE IF THE GAME IS GOOD META GAME MEANS NOTHING IF I CAN'T GET TO THE TOP WITH SKILL
1. STOP YELLING AT ME 2. "Balance" is not what you think it is. Like I said, if you want an ARENA style FPS, go elsewhere. Balance in an sandbox is called balance of opportunity. Not balance of outcome. 3. Meta game is something that you don't even know that you know nothing about. When you are actually leading a campaign of battles to conquer dozens of systems and have hundreds of other real people following your orders, then you can tell me that "SkILL IS KING!" cause it isn't, leadership and metagaming strategy is king, skill is what you tie your shoes with. Skill is the only thing that matters. I, the other good players, the cod players, the battlefield players, the halo players, DO NOT give a $HIT about meta, we want a game that's FUN not a game about taking mindless orders from a leader or a game where strat's and numbers can conquer all, it's not balanced when you have so many numbers we can't protect ourselves, even you must realize that.
Meta-game is extremely important. In null-sec, the people who invest their time and ISK to get more ISK through strategies and numbers... They'll win. They get BILLIONS if not trillions of ISK. They hire thousands of troops with equal if not greater skill, only for a fraction of their wallet. They slaughter you. They force you to rage quit. Look, there is a thing you need to understand: Skill is not greater than strategy. It never will be. It does compute, but is not a greater force than strategy or numbers. If you play the game through strategy, you'll beat the player with skill. However, they created this thing called high-sec, which allows you to play skill rather than strategy.
You need to realize that the player who learns has strategy. You had the chance to learn, but you denied it in the pursuit of skill. Its an equal opportunity, not equal balance. If you have the chance, you take it, you learn strategy and numbers. The guy who hires you? He has strategy. Good players are the ones who learn the game, take the opportunity, take the time, invest the money, and build an empire upon what they gain. And guess what? Its balanced. If you work hours on end, get billions of ISK, don't you DESERVE to deploy as many tanks as you want, just to stomp on your enemy? Its how much you invest, how much of your mind you deploy.
Its BLUE COLLAR vs WHITE COLLAR. Skill gets you somewhere, but strategy gets you further. You both have the equal opportunity to play, you get all the same chances to do stuff, and everything is allowed. But the person who invests more gains more. He's winning because he put his mind into the game. If you can't put your mind into the game, get out of the game. This is a strategic MMO; its a saga that you endure, where you get all the same opportunities. You forge your own path. Its up to you to determine whether or not you win, so choose how you'll win. Will you win the battle with skills or the war with strategy? Me, I'd much rather win the war. After all, the war has the most gains.
