I have read this thread 2 times or more and i can only come to 1 conclusion.....
Do we need Really NEED Arena System in its current form..
Hear me out...
I can understand its used for Events meets, training, and PvP but i feel you can do that almost anywhere.
Atm, Arena is ( and be honest ) just a pissing contest, the best TOP GUN who reigns supreme in there.
Isn't it about time that Arena was used in a better way.
There is a Planet there, if you want to improve your skills in fighting have missions based there that are really hard ass
with high rewards, that way you will learn how to fight better and get rewarded too.
And i mean REALLY HARD missions with Nomad, K'Vash BS's and NPC's from IC, but in a sort of drone guise.
OK, you may argue that in PvP situations you will learn more, but when you are trading ( as i often do ) all you see
flash on the screen is... Fred Killed Tom by Missle and gets 250k for his efforts, and Tom killed Fred by guns and gets
175k for his efforts..... its get FECKING annoying seeing it all the time, but thats something i have to put up with.
I still say fighting the NPC's in IC is the best way to learn how to fight, where there is more than one of them, rather
than just 2 of you's in a safe sytem, because the risk is higher and more dangerous, and if you are in there on your own,
boy its harder.
Crossfire as i understand it, is about the threat of the Nomads and Dom K'Vash, but most ppl would rather just come on,
spawn camp in Arena and just kill anyone that goes into X or Custodian, just to prove their point.
I think these ppl have lost their true way in which Crossfire RP was intended to be played.
The one thing i do know is, if i had a RANK of 100, i would help new players on the server, not just bully others that are
exploring for the first time ( or mapping as its referred too ), cos thats what they are BULLIES.
On other Mods that i have played, it is a general rule if you want to be a Pirate, you have [X] after your name so as you
know who's what in a system and gives you a chance to avoid said system they are in, perhaps something we should concider.
That way the pirates will get their asses out of Arena and hunt you down which inturn should pave the way for better RP interaction.
But if they stay in Arena and X, ppl would just avoid system, as they know thats where the BULLIES live, which is unfair to
new players.
So my question i put to you, Should we change the way Arena System is devised.
I don't expect to get reasonable replies to this bc most of the time it falls on deaf ears.
My Pennies worth.
