NERF leadership seems to think this should easily be gotten out of ratting/plexing
This is the fault of exNERFers who moved onto the NC and started bearing isk up there, they made it sound like the streets of 0.0 are full of plexes and npcs worth billions just waiting for people to claim them. Yes, you can get lucky doing that, but theres so much mindless grind in between the big scores - those of you who ratted in Fountain surely can tell them how painful it can be, especially if you need to be watching for roamers and even other renters trying to either kill you or steal your chains etc.
They also dont seem to be thinking about how many from each corp - discounting alts - would actually be moving. In any group there is always going to be the folks who stay in hisec for whatever reason, be it no time to commit to 0.0, they have coveted copy slots in empire they never want to leave, they are traders etc etc So while theres 228 characters, I cant see more than 50-60 real people there, and of that how many would get to 0.0? More importantly for the alliance corps, is how many of those who do, will help out with the logistics of living out there, do the posmonkey work and the jumping of stuff about and what not?
MAADI's enthusiasm for being in BC has never been too great (for long) (2) , plus the seemingly general skepticism about BC's plans from day 1 by the two most driving players (IMHO) within MAADI (3)
I think we are just sceptical, as the majority of us have done 0.0 as renters and what not, and know what to expect out there, yet Sin et al, have this imaginary ideal of it and it shows in this naive eagerness they have to get out to 0.0; I like BC, and the corps in it in so far as I know them, but sometimes they can be a little ignorant about how eve is. Im sure others have.had some issues too - forum access/forum existence etc being one for at least Swuul!
plus one of said players still having too much fun in RvB (4)
I own a disgusting number of rigged ships - last estimate I worked out if I had Red Frog move it all as it is now was 40+ charon loads - just in the RVB areas, and figured while I sort through my shit and wait to see what BC does, Id keep shooting stuff (that and Im one of the few active Blue directors at the mo - hard to find a replacement too out of the current bunch of regulars);
, plus the sucking power of a hundred other games that generally seems to have an above average grip on MAADI players (5)
Magicka is really good! I like that breach too - tried hosting my own server to play it - nicely explodey, but if a few of us get it, then public servers would be more fun - lots more folks; Rift is a nice distraction too for me; Oh and its Rugby season in Real Life as well, so plenty of weekends of me yelling at Scots/Irish/Italians and Frenchmen
