Negative consequences of moving best premium scrap selling points to Gallia

[Laura C.]

First off: remember the cheese - BMM run? Oh and also that long run involving buffed sorted artifacts through rheinland? Is that mentioned here? No? Well they were both at the time after pscrap and they went all the way till the crash happened.
So please dont tell me that smuggling was negligible. There was a lot of it.

Erm, it is written in my post:

This was not so obvious for some time because we had lot of smugglers with sorted artifacts from cargo buff event, which admins overlooked and let continue for much longer time than planned. But after its end, consequences of the change appeared in full effect and have negative impact on lawful factions.

2nd : when was the last time an RFP themselves caught smugglers and not other people not related the cops? Yeah. This may explain why you feel less travel... Because others are doing it for RFP.

I´m not sure what topic do you imply, maybe you can be more specific? But to answer the question, last one was few days ago (Sunday maybe? I´m not sure, someone else than me caught him), ship with artifacts.

4th: the route is better for both Gallia and O-alpha to go through the taus and not through rheinland. Pretty much it would be a much longer journey through rheinland and more dangerous for a smuggler anyway.

I´m aware of this problem, which is mainly connected to fact that one of the Taus was removed and now the way is shorter. But it is way harder to convince devs to change system layout than to simply change prices. Also, if the price for Gamma will be same or even better than in Alpha, more people will travel through Rheinland (but I believe this will happen in smaller scale even without it, because simply not everyone want to go through Taus or know about this way).

But generally, my point is that this change didn´t bring any benefit to anyone, only hit negatively several factions. Like jammi said

I think the dudes in charge of pricing would have an insanely hard time explaining how the current status quo benefits anyone .

Here is another thing!
Remember the buff for slaves and cardi? That same time when IND got busted ?
Wasn't that in the same time frame? Wasn't that done more than p-scrap?
Yeah ... And yet we dont hear about it here...

I´m not sure what you talk about. If you mean commodity buff events, last cardamine one happened in January (and cheese-BMM event you mentioned previously happened in April/May). And last time when IND got involved with contraband which I remember was actually connected to blood diamonds, it was in February or March. But what is your point?

Oh and remember when everyone was complaining that p-scrap is too large of price at alpha? Yeah... Im brining that up too.

This is Disco, someone is complaining about something constantly. What is your point?
