Imagine putting hours and hours of work you put into your character because you want him to be perfect, trying to shoot xenos when nobody sees you, and finally achieving zoner guard rep, full zoner, and EVERYBODY except nomads/xenos neutral.
Then you start making trade runs which take about an hour each so 35 hours... (I'm in OSI, so we need 35 runs to get to fly a whale)
Then you finally start thinking of buying a whale and out of a sudden...
KABOOM!!
Some band of knuckleheads start shooting Zoners on sight because they want to do some pvp whoring fest...
I can't enter Bretonia because of QCP, I can't enter Omegas because of OPG, I can only fly to Kusari to be exact... And that wrecks the entire fun... I've been playing a Zoner character because I want to be viewed as peaceful, and talked to first not just getting pew pewed over the wall... EXACTLY what's happening now!
I've tried to RP a Zoner as good as I can, hell I've never even shot a pirate, Bretonian, Kusarian, or Rheinlander in my entire character history... I've shot ONE Libertonian in the begining not quite knowing what I'm doing yet... I know that being a Zoner doesn't make me immune to piracy, but I always pay the pirate and leave, I never smuggle, and I never do anything unlawful, yet right now I'm hunted all over Taus, Bretonia and Omegas...
GREAT JOB GUYS! THANK YOU FOR DESTROYING DISCOVERY RP 24/7!
