Announcement Regarding Rule 1.2

[Panzer]

Just a narrow point from me about "Ruining countless hours of cooperative RP" that goes into POBs

Firstly, if anything is being ruined, it's a system's geopolitical landscape and given time - also militant interaction anywhere near one. The builders'/suppliers' time isn't much of a concern either, since the most developed bases are essentially unassailable with the means any one, two or dozen server factions have at their disposal.

Secondly, Cooperation: Developed bases are the work of groups that were oganized long beforehand, therefore nothing new or valuable in terms of playerbase has been introduced. If anything, just another thing to do mainly for factions with a high average activity and allowances for trading.

Third: RP. Similar to the point above, the sort of RP typical for POBs is a repetition of things done earlier and by pre-existing groups. The broader repercussion however is jump-trading, which is everything but an incentive to interact.

Fouth: The grind. It may work as a means of adding something new for people to aspire to now, but in time and with high-end bases being as untouchable as they are - the grind will end at some point with detrimental effect to overall server attractiveness.

In other words... POBs SUCK! #REMOVEPOB #BASESLAYER
