Admin Notice: Factions

[Jansen]

sorry to say but my sympathy for your plight is minimal. All that is required for house activity is trade. That's it. With trade comes piracy and with that comes lawful activity. Given the ridiculously small amount of time 5 folks nee to fly for over the course of a month it really shouldn't be hard to maintain activity in Kusari. Lord knows enough trade flows through there.

I dont think that its that easy Del.

True that, enough trade flies there. A big part of it is shipping the new H3 stuff with GMG ships, so those are off limits for BDs and most GCs as well. The other big part is the silent cruise-and-hope-to-get-away-without-a-word trader that you meet everywhere else as well.
And then there is this really small percentage of traders that is fun to interact with.
There is also nearly no law enforcement in Kusari, I personally didnt see a KNF or KSP this year yet, blame the Ronin for this, why should someone waste time searching for pirates in Kusari if he can have all the shooting in the Taus and some of Bretonia?
The only ones that popped up from time to time were the AFA and I have to say that those encounters were great, but not often enough to justify spending much more time then required ingame.

Now comes the real problem, I personally dont gain ANY fun from pirating the mute kind of traders. I also can hardly imagine that anyone enjoys pirating people over a longer period of time if there is nearly no risk of getting caught by the lawfuls, because getting caught sometimes is part of the game. This is what makes Rogues fun, there is nearly a guarantee that sometime soon a Navy will pop up and cause you to run away as fast as you can. I never had this kind of interaction in Kusari.

I've been playing as a GC for over 2 years now, back then Kusari was not the most populated place, but at least sometimes you could have really great interactions there, however this situation didnt get better, it just got worse, so I dont see much sense in blaming the players for using their time to do something more funny, I can even understand and encourage them to have their share of fun here.

Maybe someone will find a way to fix Kusaris problems, or people keep ignoring them, that works well too.
