CreamyII and PE,
It is obvious by your posts that you have a chip on your shoulder,
First off,
To Preacherman and MasterBob, perhaps the two hardest working pilots in PE, Kudo's gents!! You are tough adversaries and more dedicated to making your game pilots top level than most which make myself and WOW have to work harder to stay in your realm of excellence. It is unfortunate that the only way your leader thinks you can excel is to attack your competition. I personally enjoyed the competition and level of integrity shown by you both prior to the attacks.
I believe both of you know that I myself have come into an area you were working, not realizing you were there and upon realizing you were there promptly apologized and drug interceptors for you to blast that would have been yours to start with before I would move on to locate unoccupied area. If there were issues with WOW players shooting your harvs or interceptors a simple complaint would have ensured you were not inhibited. Since there was no complaint, I must presume this never happened.
This issue started this previous Saturday/Sunday when the war scores were still close but the bottom 4 including masterbob were in jeopardy of getting bumped into div-2. Apparently this was unacceptable to DW and PE. So DW and others of PE elected to come to lustra and begin killing all harvie in the areas that WOW was grinding in. this in itself could be considered harassment if you take into consideration that DW could as easily have kill masterBobs harvies if he was looking for something specific, or he could have politely asked for assistance. If there was retaliation by WOW players towards any honorable PE layers that were grinding cry or WS, WOW apologizes for DW actions which may have triggered any actions that seem to have been retaliatory. There was no intent nor do I believe there was any harassment, just good old tit-4-tat game play.
As for noobs and WS as one of the gripes, its farce, all noobs come into the lower brackets, they have to fight their way through those brackets to even have a shot at getting to the top. Isn't this the same thing we all had to do?? Lower level ships cannot kill fast enough in any system to keep up with a higher level ships. Check the ladders, top divisions are full of 70s and 60s. The reality is, even noobs that want to chase the Skull are going to have to compete against players with more time and resources within the lower divisions.
As for higher lvl ships in lower systems, lets set this straight, beside CRY and WS grinding, there are missing achievements that a great many players are working on. We see many upper level players from all clans in the lowers chasing these achievements, especially rares. We all know its much easier to take a 70 down and blaster everything to find that ever elusive rare.
PM (pirate mode), isn't this clarification enough? Pirate Mode!! With this engaged to earn that bolstering 10% EP bonus you are subject to being pod by any other player in the game that has the capability and desire to do so. This could be "ANY" player that elects to pod reds for bounty, for their own gratification or because they are an enemy clan. Shame on you clan leaders that have not discussed this with your players at any level! It appears to be more beneficial to you to have your players stay in red and moan when they get pod. Stop the moaning, its a risk we all take when in PM.
I typically do not post in the forum due the fact that rebuttals are typically from those that are moaning in the game due an inability to keep pace or compete with upper level players and have no other outlet that to make uneducated comments in the forum.
If there is and issue beyond the designed play capabilities, I'm sure that SS Dev team has the ability to address those in a prompt fashion.
One a final note!! Christ6969, you rock M8!! WOW loves your style. Class act!!!
Sorry to any that may find this post offensive, it was not intended in that fashion.
