Ok let me take a step back, since everyone decided to jump on my post as if I were spreading drama.
Not my intent, only to point out that it is not that farfetched that op4 and friends would be using cheesy tactics in combat, stuff like dropping a cv on armageddon to get claimed by hws (because cv’s are not allowed) and act as a shield to their base. Not really against the rules, but shady nonetheless. But that is not my point, only an elaboration. My point is that this is a peculiar post, one claiming to be in the best interest of the server, but in fact an open declaration that they will continue to use…“creative gameplay” to attack their enemies on planets they are not supposed to be allied to. Its great to say that you wont be travelling to other origin planets anymore and beating up on noobs, but how about not doing it in the first place? Or not making the caveat that you will in fact still go there to attack your enemies. This in fact turns your ever so generous gesture into a thinly veiled threat: Ally with us and comply, or we will come to your origin planet where you are allied with every faction around, and where we shouldnt be allowed, and kill you anyways. Lest someone claim that I am making statements without proof:
Here one of your representatives proudly names your members, and states that you will still go to origin planets where you do not belong, and attack them. That brings up another matter. You say ZC is among you, and that is all well and good. You say you have superior command and control over your members. Thats good. But then when someone says, hey, something goofy happened here, you say oh that is zc, that isnt me.
Consistancy is a virtue.
But allllll of this is only partially relevant to the original post. And this is where my point comes. As perceptive individuals, I am sure you are well aware that I have personally put a LOT of effort into making an event planet that is already confirmed for 6.0, nearly a month ago, and welcomed suggestions to make it more engaging. I meant every word of it. To then come out along side your ever so gracious statement that you would not be killing noobs on their own origin planets anymore, you then announce a pvp even planet, open to all, on a planet you dont even own yet. I, as always, would love for this little feud of yours to be done with, and allow me to go back to actually working towards the goals of my factions without worrying about a rogue hunter faction hunting us down every day. But I go along with your insults, and your invented blood feud, because it gives both of our people something to do. But your persistent attempts try to drag my name through the mud, and turn public opinion against me, when literally all I really want to do is play the game, help new people, and protect fellow traders, is getting tiresome. And now to try and hijack my idea from 4.0 of a planet where players can come for a little friendly competition, and pvp away from their precious supplies, and to claim that my disappointment is irrelevant to the original post? This is garbage, and you know it. Do not bother continued trash talk, you will not get another response from me, I have no interest in a poop slinging fight. But I cannot stand idly by while half truths and propaganda are being so eagerly eaten up by good people.
Grimlore, I would love to. I really would. But no matter what I say, it is twisted and turned into something that it was not intended. So I try to be brief. But this post itself is not constructive. It is a jab at my factions goals, and an attempt to hijack them as their own. If they really wanted to help new people, they would not have raided origin planets in the first place.
