Let's not forget when you talk about POB shooting people run by Zoner Indies. Wasn't that long ago a certain base in Baffin situated near a JH was shooting players indiscriminately, and did for a long time before eventually disabled. And guess what, that base was run by an official Zoner faction. My point being, no matter who owns those base, be them Indies or Official faction members. You don't know if they will be run better.
Also, what's stopping people from using anon ALT char to hide behind shooting those bases in O74 in-game, until ZA put the bases turrets back on-line again. Then coming on forums complaining and blaming ZA for it being ooRP? When it could very well be people doing it on purpose playing games to drag things on, don't need to spell out what factions could be doing that.
