    if I may suggest, can you up it slightly but more to the point make some kind of guaranteed

    drop that's not a lev 9 component

    My thought process is that if you have to grab a big group to raid and fend off from other

    groups raiding, it becomes increasingly difficult to

    get that group together for the next one.

    If memory serves me, the RD base is a guaranteed drop of "something" as well as the controller and the warder

    (( if you can get him)). it may not be the exact item you want but its still something to some one.

    ...Just a suggestion.

    ....also can you check the Controller, seems the "Skull" shields are not dropping... same with the named Ten Gu outside of the fish bowl.

    When you think of bosses you strive for good loot. Most bosses in game garentee something... it may not be what you want but it beats getting a

    component. Blackbeards ghost, most of the time, drops junk components. if this is intended that's fine but we are

    hoping since its a raid that can change.

    The same seems to be happening with the named birds in Antares, more often then not you get some ammo. again ... if

    this is intended i understand

    but it would be nice to have at least something good.

    I hope you consider this or at least up the drop rate since most are timed and of raid caliber.

    Does anyone know of a way you can set your guns "not" to auto fire? if not, is there a way to change this?

    I ask because I fly my JD with auto fire off. Each time I log it, it resets back to autofire on.

    if it can be done or there is something I am missing please let me know

    BTW and not accuse anyone of crying about loot (knowing that Jam just place a suggestion to change the timer not to flame the looter) ... but being such a small group of people, there is alot to go around, you have to look at it this way. Is the juice worth the squeeze?

    Actually , you pretty much are accusing but by saying you are not. your comment was not needed for any other reason but to point out your true

    intention, or you would not of written it. its typical of people from our old server ( Andromeda )

    My position is as follows, lets have the folks go fight, kill and loot there own.

    If you are Ok. with people grabbing the loot when you are in a big spawn, announce that your kills are free for all when you are in the bowl. Let

    people loot form you ;)

    Ether way , hopefully the loot timer for non epic kills gets jacked up slightly and for epic / bosses put it back

    the way it was in live .

    This has been a nice discussion and I look forward to the next suggestion or dig :)

    That was me Ninja Looting btw.

    Here's the problem. Your group sat yourself right in the spawn point of the fishes. You were taking on 7-10 fishes at a time and your loots were not only opening the timer, but also exceeding the timer and blowing up infront of me and disappearing. I sat and watched for 10 minutes before I took any loot off anyone.

    So my only consideration in this conversation is that you didn't have a problem with your loot exploding into oblivion until you saw someone else looting it. After we had the conversation about how I wasn't exploiting and the timer is there for a reson, (to give you an opportunity to loot)and you were going to report me for greiving you actually took the time to loot your own stuff. Funny enough you left all the unstackable items floating in the vastnest that is the fishbowl.

    The problem is this as I see it, you can either hog all the fishes and rack up the combat levels, which is what it appeared you were doing, or you can kill them in a more gingerly pace and collect all your loot. Like I said, the loot seemed to be the least of your concern until you saw someone else looting it. You were just letting the loot explode before.

    It appears you would like your cake and to eat it too.

    Since i was not going to call you out but you decided to bring it out there that is fine, my take is we were doing the work and you were getting the

    rewards. as you may or may not know the bowl has been tweaked were its a full epic group event, so to not have the entire party die, all had to

    work together to fight. I would like the timer to be increased to give us ( our group ) a chance to loot our own kills.

    So I ask the Devs to increase the timer at least slightly on normal mobs and give it a bigger timer on epic / Boss mobs.

    On a side note, the sad part is we had one spot open and we don't mind others not in our guild joining but it was

    one of these situations were.

    some folks, (not just the person quoted above ) was hiding below us waiting for our kill timers to be removed to

    loot. ( i will not name them because I respect the folks that stoped after asking.)

    also, if some one wants to level up by not doing any real work, i do not understand why they are playing.

    please enlighten me to this fact.

    Or you can add a pause button? /pause, and the mobs would not attack for 30 seconds (kidding)

    let me make it short but try to include everything. I was out with a small but strong group, we were killing mobs that spawn pretty well, it was

    pure fun to work together and kill , at certain points the spawn would slow and when the group members got a chance to loot the corpses were

    being looted by more then one cloaked Jenquai.

    I don't usually get to play in the evening like tonight so I was shocked not having this experience before. it apparently happens most every day

    around this time. I talked to two of the 3 people who were looting our kills. one responded and was nice , decided to move on.

    the other explained that they are free to do this, because of the timer. this got me to thinking of raids in the past were the timer was high.

    the timer is short in this game and i want to know if we can raise the time limit.

    It isn't like you can tell the mobs to stop attacking so you can loot and then resume.

    I do not see why anyone would disagree with this, i find it something that most people would want and only the few who level themselves by

    bottom feeding off of other peoples kills would not want done.

    I see this as a exploit of the game mechanics. so to fix this I implore you to raise the loot timer.

    Do you really want the full harshness of the original game?

    :->

    I am sure it will be different then it is now but this rocks so hard , it will keep me here forever.

    By the way there is competition but its usually in a guild vs guild skirmishes.

    Join one of the big guilds and you will see

    Also internal conflicts inside the guild were and are not handled properly.

    Guild business is Guild business, its not public business, if you do not like the way that particular guild handles there in house business do not

    be with them.

    Thanks.

    + for For Lannister. I'd drink a beer with him in real life any day.

    We will be doing things with the fields, but the fields that were out there made ore useless. We may add back areas similar (not as many roids) but would need a group to mine it because of mobs. I have seen many macro miners sitting at these spots and using them to simply level to 150 without having to do anything.

    Lets put this another way. The game Economy was already put to the test with all of the glitch drops, and other things. That being said.

    Some ore spots that us old heads remember from live, hidden and hard to find spots. were basically destroyed. these are the spots most of us want

    fixed. I understand that the fields were probably all downsized with an easy step and it wasnt the fact that some one went from field to field in

    the game , but, most of us play this game to relax, to get away from the bustel of daily life. This isnt EVE, were you have treat it as a job.

    most who left after EnB shut down went to eve and disposed it, didn't last more then a few weeks. was forced to spend time with there :wait for it:

    Families! AAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaHH!

    That being said, Macro miners are on my hate list as well, if you put the ore fields back the way they were, add guardians that will target

    players that do not belong everything will be fine. besides, i don't see it as a problem you trying to level up a few smaller friends if there is

    some one there to protect them, everyone will reap the benefits. I am pretty sure most mines in the real world have security posted .

    You said you've seen people level themselves to 150? this must have been going on for a while because 90 percent of us in the guild I am in just

    discovered it and just as everything, it was ripped away because some people decided to exploit it. The type of mining in Glenn and New Edinsburg

    was supposed to be for people at LVL 150 or close to it, at least that is what we thought. A group event, sure people smaller could go but mostly

    the higher lvl miners went to gain some ore, make a few credits, and get some post 150 skill points. its tough that it went from fair mining, to

    good mining then to straight PUNISHMENT mining.

    ----

    Warriors gain XP fighting, they may do the occasional job and if they are crazy, fly around the universe trying to find every ? nav.

    Most roll over there combat xp to explore and to a lesser extent trade. Miners get there skills by mining, now that its become useless why would

    anyone want to have a grueling time to mine? do they want to have the small amount resources that are in high demand? are we promoting price

    gouging? ( i don't remember ore being like that in live only things that Ea decided to have a select few acquire and map)

    simple solution, replace the mining the way it was , tweak it slightly, make the ore worth less if you have to , make more "trash ore" if you have to

    make sure its good xp, make sure its a group event, have some areas and pockets for people who like to solo and add guardians, add cool guardians

    with there own version of loot, may it be trash or things of value , to keep the warrior cast interested in defending.

    We want are mining community back.

    .

    I am passionate about this because I like to play primarily warrior classes, just as this great mining event came to pass it seems like its being taken away and probably being replaced with something that will turn most away from being a miner.

    with much respect. please consider my words

    We have found that in some place in the game ore was over abundant with "unclearable" fields. These fields are game breaking and making the economy completely unbalanced. Last night we did a temp fix to make the fields have less ores. When we release the December patch we will be fixing the ore fields. This is not permanent just temporary quick fix. Mobs were not changed at all with this patch.

    Thanks,

    David

    We assumed some of the unclearable fields were an attempt to have us group to do some mining, it worked if that was the case. Our guild as well as a

    few others basically would go on a ore spree. I ask you to bring this back. Mining was so good that it sparked many people in and out of our guild

    to have there very first miners. it was more for the xp and less for the cash and abundance. I do not speak for most but i do speak for quite a bit

    when I say please revert it to the way it was but add guardians in the areas. the xp was wonderful and you gained it about the same way you would

    run mindless jobs. but instead of running mindless jobs, we all as a group got together and mined to our hearts content.

    Think of some other way to fix the game economy, but please leave the ore alone. even if you have to lower the value to the vendor or what not I am

    sure that it would be O.k. with most in the game.. its more about the thrill of grouping in a big mining group and everyone getting ample xp but

    also doing there share. (this brings me back to the whole idea of guardians).

    I understand it was temporary but i want to state my case clearly for the final "fix" Even if you have to revert the ore to trash ore but keep

    the same type as it was.

    it was worth working on a field for an hour or two with a few max miners and some underlings to have a few field clear bonuses.

    one final thought, throw out that awful Progen mission were you need a universe full of ore, its not worth it. ( my personal opinion)

    I was wondering why ore was downsized. I realize some spots that were created for groups were exploited by AFK botters but it seems every major ore

    Field that was in game before the new stuff and even the older post live ore fields have been downsized, are we trying to make ore rare or was this

    a way to combat Botters?

    I ask because I made a TS just for the occasion of the cool new ore fields and some old ones i'd never seen before but it seems across the board

    fields are now downsized rendering the idea of starting a group mining even useless and even the thought of deleting my new TS.
