I was grinding when the CG started and while marginal, I WAS recieving merits per ship killed, now I'm not the past 2 days and i've quit till I thought it would be fixed. figured there was a bug or something with all the traffic, yet the lack of a payout persists? any info? cause realistically Why would I give a week of my time otherwise at a community goal? I'm already rich (short of a fleet) so why do they think 100k a kill on elite level npc's (about 3 minutes a kill) are incentive? the cannons are also mid AND you get them at the first tier, so there isn't much incentive there either. Idk, i just feel like past the first 24 hours that anyone still there is truly there for the cause, but MAN, real hard to be a soldier of fortune when my fortune is minute payment or straight removed. I also feel the payout for merits should be increased on ships cause there isn't no WAY that my data theft from aisling is worth 300+ merits, which is about what a elite anaconda would net me (5 minute kill)
Do i participate in a war with marginal returns? or do i stay in a system till ive robbed every settlement and turn in basically an anacondas worth of merits at 10x payout cause i can stack the data as well.I LOVE the on foot system as is, but the big focus (ship fights) are so marginal in comparison it's not worth the time. which is disappointing cause i enjoy it but I'm doing it at a loss on an already grindy MMO system.
