Alaska Opinion Poll

[Laowai]

Tenacity was denied by a person who got banned for weapon modding within the same week- hardly worth using as an argument.

This thread is NOT all Liberty players, a good deal of them are here because IT AFFECTS THEM, why wouldn't they be here to have a say in one of Liberty's biggest issues? However, as far as I can tell Praetyre, Jinx, Eppy, me, and a few others have no Liberty characters, or at least none other than LPI. Actually, this thread is mostly thoughtful discussion on how best to remove the smuggling route while (as you said a few times, if I recall correctly) keeping the system usable for anyone who can legitimately gain access. We aren't ignoring you, but when you say stuff like 'well everyone has the codes by now' its hard to take seriously here and there.

Howabout this- you keep harping on how legit, roleplaying indies are being denied access. Start one up, put out some forum RP, and ask. Or even barge straight through if your forum RP gets access there. Hell, make a new forum account, post in welcome and everything to throw people off, then do that. I guarantee that you will be allowed access for legit business. If not, then you're right- there is a huge problem, and you should shoot PMs to faction leaders to talk about their members' behavior. I highly doubt it though.

I was not aware of who prevented Tenacity from doing this - i have only read his thread stating what happened.

Cool - i stand corrected on the Liberty Players part. I also am not a liberty player, as all have probably guessed. I do have a smuggler though, he usually only ever runs artifacts, and i have used this route, though its not the only one i use as the monotony kills me.... I have never once been challenged by a liberty player on this route. I always exit the gate expecting to get ambushed and killed, which i wouldnt complain about (cos i know im somewhere i shouldnt be according to liberty law, but im a smuggler who stands to make a tonne of money so i dont care about liberty law) but not once have i seen anyone there. I know they cant be everywhere at once, and that is unfortunate - for them, not for smugglers.

When i mentioned that the "codes are out there" i am doing so using a Role play reason that is essentially watertight, because as i have said if you concede that the Lane Hackers and the Order have these codes then you cannot then say that other people, including smugglers wouldst be able to get them. I have not seen a suitable counter argument to that fact yet, which is why i believe the onus to defend the system should fall back solely on the liberty players.
I also don't believe that the smuggling route is entirely bad - at least not for someone carrying artifacts. It is possible to move through Alaska and avoid attention, the only choke points are the jumphole and the gate. If this area were more heavily patrolled then i think this problem would just go away - station a BS and or whatever at the mouth of the minefield, which is a natural chokepoint and you will see a lot less people running that gauntlet. Which i feel is a whole lot easier than modding the game?
