NPCs kinda suck

[Karst]

So.... if there are no other objections... what happens next?

I imagine not all dissention has been nullified, but it seems to have been silenced...(?)

I'd be completely satiated if a mod would tell me that my ideas are receiving due notice, or will be discussed among the mods, even if nothing comes of it.

Oh please. Just because most people can't be bothered to further argue about this doesn't mean you've "won" anything.

The problem is that you're basing your entire argument on the assumption that NPCs having a greater influence on player interaction is something desirable.

You state things like

NPCs from faction C absolutely should interrupt your encounter if you're in their way

as if it were an obvious fact, when I think it's safe to say very few here agree with that.

What is a fact is that PVE simply is not a big part of this mod. People interested in that can always do missions or visit the areas that do have powerful NPCs, of which there are plenty. But very few of us want to be forced to PVE when we're trying to focus on player-player interaction.

We've already tried having significantly more powerful NPCs (was it when .87 came out? I'm not sure anymore).
It made for terrible gameplay and almost everybody complained about it until they were nerfed again. They simply do not fit well into the environment of disco and I can pretty much guarantee they're not coming back.
