@Omicron: i have already explained the how and why to echo, cause he had asked - i honestly don t care much what you think. - for all i care you can keep thinking you have it right.
personally - although i am not really a fan of it - i have actually suggested removing the zoner caps ever since 4.84 ( surprised? ) - and it had been discussed multiple times in the dev chat.
maybe ( and it has not happened yet ) - if the two zoner factions that allow caps agree on it - and make an official request - we can again think about it. - taz and phoenix must be aware though that it would affect them just the same - after all, they represent the faction, they are not semi closed like nomads or scra.
as a matter of fact - i would love zoner caps being retconned.- for other reasons though i guess.
but yea - these things do only really work when the actual faction representatives ask for a nerf. since you are phoenix - convince your faction to make an official request - get TAZ on board - and you might just get your will.
but - i guess we won t see such an official request on the dev board - so yea - much ado about nothing - and lots of late summer drama
