Honestly this is all under the assumption that PRO will even be involved in Planetary Conquest. Sure it's a great way to make money but that's about it. It has no affect on SOV, and it doesn't take place in NULL Sec.

The biggest advantage for PRO I think, would be in PvE. Namely Drone Infestations. With the sheer number of PRO members, they'd be able to maintain a competitive edge ISK wise while avoiding Competitive game play which would also reduce the risk of them losing money to other Corporations. As it is now, they're only "forced" to fight in Planetary Conquest and Faction Warfare.

PRO currently has a bad reputation for two reasons.

A.) The general lack of skill that most of their members seem to exhibit. Which is due to the fact that most of PRO's member base is comprised of EXTREMELY new recruits. That isn't to say that they're filled with Bad players, there are quite a few decent PRO players, they're just hidden by the massive amounts of terrible ones. PRO used to be a pretty tough contender, if i recall correctly, during the Closed Beta. You know... those dark ages everyone seems to have forgotten about and learned nothing from?

B.) The Spamming. Using Local Chat to recruit and spamming mails to everything in local has caused a lot of hate to come PRO's way. Honestly I'm not sure why though. It's not like you can't get rid of the mail, or block the guy sending it. And hardly anyone talks in Local anyway. Gotta admit though that period where that guy with the long speech would spam it every 5 min. was annoying but that seems to have stopped.

My point is that none of those matter unless they're competitive. They don't lose anything by being hated. So why bother hating them? That is all...

Keep the faith.

Thank you sir. I had almost completely given up on the community. I don't usually respond to these threads, but your comment has illicited a response.

We are bad in pvp right now, we are terrible. It is embarassing, but we aren't in it to win for now. We are concentrating on getting our newbros trained and familiarized and I can't begin to explain how difficult it is with the numbers we have and more joining everyday. It is incredibly frustrating to organize and mobilize on this scale, but we are getting there. I don't gauge our strength on how we operate now, because many of us are just now starting. I gauge our strength on what we can be. Now we are 2200 scrubs in STD gear, soon we will be pros with the gun game we have been lacking and we will be in PRO gear.

This is not a threat, I wish you all the best of luck in planetary conquest. You will not be facing the PXRXO you are familiar with in ambush and corp battles. You will be facing us at our best, I promise not to disappoint you in battle.

Severance Pay out.

In all seriousness (since you actually responded this way instead of toting the company line), do you plan on actually weeding out those that cant cut it or still run with what you have? There is a difference between potential and just plain bad.

You are also going to have a tough hill to climb in gaining any type of respect given the negative reputation of your leader from MAG days.

No comment on the strategy aspect of corporation development. With regards to the opinions of MAG vets, nothing we can do will change their opinion at this stage, and we have more than enough friends to not give a turd about the current "elite" opinions, they are based off of forum spin and word of mouth. Thanks to the haters for making us a household name, it will benefit us in the future, and those of you who helped can be to blame for it. Have a good day, or for some of you, don't. Cheers, Contra
