I have a feeling this week is going to be particularly bad for public matches due to the challenge going down. Corps/Squads will be farming kills, hacks, etc. As much as I appreciate the challenge and enjoy these competitions, newbs and lesser geared peeps are going to be getting steam rolled. |

I don't understand the nature of the prizes at all. What's the objective and reasoning behind the competition; is it aimed more at new and players without 'decent' gear (no advanced suits, etc.), is it a marketing and advertising tactic to draw more players to come play (new players who in turn will be smashed by lavs, squads, etc)? Has it been designed to cause corps/squads to smash into one another in public matches instead? Somewhere in the middle?
It doesn't seem like an entirely well thought out 'challenge' but I don't understand the nature of the context. I do know that the rewards seem..off and I would be more tempted to risk getting pubstomped if the reward was more isk or a nice chunk of SP. |
