How is PP dead?
One minute we are getting complaints no one is doing PP, then we are getting complaints because people in Solo are doing it - please pick one.
It does seem a little contradictory, but I'll answer.
In effect because you cannot have a direct effect on PP - i.e. it is controlled by BGS changes - it has stagnated entirely. When it started out, there were talks about what happens when a power loses all its systems for instance, and excitement about being able to progress the faction's advantages further out to other regions.
As it's become a BGS numbers competition, married with wrecking each others' powers from the inside, there's not much room for PP to do...well, anything really. All powers basically maintain a similar amount of space around their home, and that's that. You want a PSM, sign up to power and deliver leaflets. You want cheap ships, go over to LYR's space.
So PP itself is dead, and you have repetitive PvE activities that exist elsewhere anyway. If you actually like the idea of a power competition, or from a RP perspective believe in a power and want to progress them....LOLZ, good luck
I'll tell you what, you can have PP locked to open, but PvP must be locked to Solo - okay?
Seems fair to me.
Heh, see, I told you that you give me the odd chuckle
Seems selfish that one group wants exclusive content over another, too. But hey, let's not let facts stop us here, right?
So...point out the part of the proposal that was exclusive. It is the same, perhaps cycling/alternating objectives, with the single simple difference the results are counted differently for Open than PG/Solo.
There is no exclusivity. As always, there seems to be indignation at the simple thought of there being something for PvP players to do...
No one is forced to trade,
No one is forced to explorer,
No one is forced to fight.
Locking any content to PvP (or open), you're forcing people to fight when they don't want to fight.
Leave it in context though mate. Someone said PvP content isn't acceptable because some players wouldn't want to take part in it. Does that mean trading should be banned because someone doesn't like it, and won't take part in it?
As before...different players have different needs. I don't know why we have to pretend that isn't the case when it comes to discussing Open or PvP content.
