Zoom do you even play the game?
I can go on alpha, sit there with a support bot, zero pvp risk, and pop beacons. When I kill the bots they don't do aoe damage so I never lose loot to that.
OR
I can go to beta, be vulnerable to pvp, and to top it off, explosion damage removes loot.
I get less. Will be the same for gamma...only on gamma there wont be the epriton reason to be there.
In fact...what will be the point of gamma?
Right now the absolute safety of alpha makes it the best place to do everything BUT epriton (which you could theoretically just buy from the HDT NPC order money printer)
Beacons are safer and yield more via no aoe explosion loot removal, ores are all safer I can just sit on them and eat a sandwich and watch tv,
I don't think Zoom understands risk vs reward. If people are going to risk robots in pvp areas to do stuff, and theres a 100% safe alternative for doing those same actions....why would you choose to do it in a pvp area? Think about that zoom. Then think "what will be the reward for risking billions of nic on gamma when you cant even farm Epriton (the only reason to be in beta btw)"?
I like alpha being safe, but all the reward is missing from the part of the game with risk.
