It can be overwhelming to keep up with the live action of today's Cg/Ax happenings, and that is partially what the original post is calling for. The start of this post was so long ago that if there had not been some change in the gameplay (ahem-Arena Mode/CQC) the devs had truly failed.
But there were changes. Even the implementation of Low/Med/High threat levels and Capital Ship Instance types. But these changes seem to require a balance pass of some sort, coming off feedback from the general playerbase. Expected. So many Cmdrs with different skill levels and loadouts.
The fact that many Cmdrs experience a Rubber Banding effect under certain circumstances, and how the rewards often fail; or the "bar get's stuck"; or that one is required to be 'winged - in' to instances constantly, is less likely to keep new players trying AX combat, than the fact that a low ax CZ finished -to completion . . not just the first Cyclops that comes - is un-reachable in solo play by 99% of players unless they 'follow the way' of the meme builds.
You should be able to do a Low AXCZ in solo with your Type 10 Defender.. or even an Orca, if you want.
