Howdy,
Sorry for the delayed response. I got to hang out with Terry Brooks and a great day at ECC (Emerald City Comicon).
As to the paid forces, hired factions, etc… This is just information I am getting from allies that have been approached or recruited. Gold is not the only form of payment.
The reason it is posted in this thread is as @Zed-Nate25 states above. The number one tactic for people that turtle up on arma is to take it to PVE. Mine all the deposits and shoot the meteors which is an approved and encouraged tactic by Rex.
Freelancers are free to fill roles as needed. Right now the pirates aren’t playing so the guardians were filling that role. WKN stepped in and played Guardian. Now there are no , to use the literary term, antagonists, to stimulate conflict so we are pushing that role.
Honestly I prefer playing the good guy but if there is a void there will never be conflict and without conflict there is no pvp.
I appreciate the attack tonight of Ice. Poor Flux had to 1v6 for quite sometime as you hit when he was the only on. I really am sad I missed it. I’ll have to catch the stream.
