Techmix-nerf and factions which are unique in RELYING on techmixing

[McNeo]

A lot of the people complaining here have their interests because of SRPs or other things like this, such as SCRA or HF caps, or even an LN Osiris/Spyglass if they existed (which they dont).

Frankly, I'm seeing a lot of self-interest and "it doesn't make sense" without any reasons that can be justified objectively. Messes with your RP? What about your RP messing with the RP of others?

Here's the deal. I've a few SRP characters that are going to be hit by this too (which existed since 4.83) as well as a lot of characters with white cell tech besides, but that's a price worth paying. Why? Because an automated tech chart levels the playing field for everyone. In a time when SRPs are closed, a fact which people are kinda ignoring for the sake of their arguments, this means that new players do not have the same opportunities as older ones. Period.

It is unfair, for both factions and people who originated after SRPs to be denied the opportunities of those who came before they closed, only because of their time of origin was after a set date. It is inefficient, confusing and potentially open to abuse if a system of exceptions were to be created, as there are many that would need to be created.

Now Im no bastion of fairness or equal opportunity as people who know me will know. But what I can do is appreciate why such a system would be a good thing, and support it ideologically.

As I said to Joe, the only way I could support SRP stuff not receiving an auto-nerf, just like everybody else would anyway, would be if SRPs were reopened and stayed open forever. This is a lot of work, and something the admins would have to consider very carefully, as this kind of tech chart reduces their workload unless they choose to generate more.
