Yes I know everybody does this. But mine will be mainly from corp members, and I'm not going to tell them when I start looking for a quote to avoid them spamming stupid things.
Anyway, the quick backstory here is that we were chatting in corp and explaining to the newer guys what Incursions were and why quite a few people dislike them. Which is when Khrystynah pulls out this, which I felt perfectly explained the actions of a fair few players ;)
Khrystynah > ohhh, so all the cool kids who fly in nullsec space doing PvP masturbation and making money got their feelings hurt by incursions, because that means that people have an alternative?
Now I'm not saying that these players are wrong, but I'm pretty certain that Incursions aren't breaking the game as much as some people believe. So what if some of the prices for faction ships have crashed? They were overpriced anyway. Who cares if people are making money with minimal risk? People make ISK with just about the same amount of risk in NullSec everyday anyway.
No I don't mean PvP. Well maybe you could class blobbing under "minimal risk".
But what I mean is Anomalies. If you are deep within alliance held sovereignty space, the chances of you getting ganked while running an Anomaly is even less than dying to rats in a decent Incursion fleet. Infact you can do Anomalies with far less effort than an Incursion, if you get a local carrier to lend you some fighters :)
So really, I can't understand why (mainly) NullSec players are making such a fuss about Incursions. It's just our version of NullSec Anomalies. Deal with it.
Tell me about the protracted campaign where you took those highsec systems at great effort and expense so that you could have the right to do those 'high sec anomalies'. Yes deep null is safe once you have it, but you had to do something in order to get that.
ReplyDeleteThe other problem is that the flow of cash is causing an upwards tilt in the economy. The price on goods have inflated heavily with incursions. At least in null, there's a threat that you might get jumped, however minimal. With highsec you've got omnipotent police protecting you. How about we remove CONCORD from incursions in highsec, or we make them lowsec only... an incentive to go to lowsec?! Crazy!
While you make good points Deveyus, I'm betting alot of the people running anomalies in Null joined after the space was taken by other hard working players, and were never involved in taking the space themselves.
ReplyDeleteAlso I doubt very much this flow of cash is causing an upwards tilt on the economy until you can provide some evidence for this. The only effect I've seen Incursions having on the economy is on faction modules due to the free LP washing around.
