What is it with CCP and listening to the whining noobs? Anyone that had ever used a militia swarm launcher or forge gun on a militia LAV would have realized not only how weak those LAVs were, but also how beneficial they were to AVers (people literally never recalled them and just abandoned them). Now logi LAVs are still on the rise, and CCP says they've "fixed the murder taxi issue". The ironic part is that the logis are the ones that actually look like taxis! You know what the worst part is? I'm not even close to being the first person to say this. I've seen this said a countless number of times in the countless number of LAV complaint threads.

Still plenty of LAV's around... just not the ones that kids likes to use because they are free. Also people are not going in Killing sprees now, because they have more to lose. In fact .. was lovely to day, nice intense battles without pesky LAV's.

Maybe CCP should listen to "whining vets" a bit more often. Blink

In fact .. was lovely to day, nice intense battles without pesky LAV's. Maybe CCP should listen to "whining vets" a bit more often. I still saw plenty of murder taxi-ing happening today. In fact, I hadn't even checked the forums today until I made my previous post, and I hadn't noticed any difference at all untill I spawned a militia LAV. Anybody who thinks this is making a difference is just... wrong. The funniest things about all of this are 1) The real issue of logi LAVs is still prevalent, and 2) CCP didn't even fix the "apparent issue" of militia LAV murder taxi-ing.

With my luck, it's always on the enemy's side. I also want to point out a pretty major logic mistake here. People aren't going to stop murder taxi-ing just because it costs a little ISK. The cost is so insignificant that people be worried about their KD going down the gutter before how much ISK it costs. 27,600 is the cost of a pretty cheap dropsuit. Combine that with a starter fit and you've got a killing machine with more armor and shields than any dropsuit coupd ever dream of for 27k ISK. I don't see anything about that logic that indicates people will do less murder taxi-ing.

If murder taxi-ing won't even be possible unless at high speeds, then can someone please explain the point of removing those free LAVs?
