really, i want to see anyone who says that, running around beta during peak activity time, starting with max 10M nic and a 1 month old account.
oh, and doing anything else then ninja epri mining with an argano or artefacting.
please proof that you have zero risk when you are just "informed" how things work, and without access to proximity probes aside of the ones you can afford, or multiple alt accounts...
Anni, I dont think you grasped what I was trying to say but I will answer your question.
My statement says there is no reason to be 'At Risk' on beta. Meaning you will not see me or other EXPERIENCED players deploy our fleet of accounts or deploy with players/account to beta for economic gain.
There are a number of things I can do on Alpha or Gamma with almost no risk for a far greater return of nic/assets to me for my time.
When I do go to beta, To hunt , it is with multiple bots and I dont 'risk' them until there is a valid reason. I will scout with a scout and find my prey. I will then herd them into a kill box and drop my REAL fleet on them.
If my Fleeet is on beta, I will always have a plan to get away with out being wiped, this is not always the case. However Anni, you, I and everyone else knows there is a large portion of veteran players who can and do operate in this method.
New players do not know of all the veteran tricks and in order for them to prosper they must risk far more than I.
Your 1 month old 10 mil player does not know that I have a speed fit bots that out range, out tank, and out damage them.
I ON MY OWN have gone against superior numbers numerous times, only leveraging my knowledge of the game to exploit my wins and bring devastating results to my opponents be it moral or asset loss.
Quite frankly IF and WHEN i do go to beta it will be for targets (multiple targets not one ninja miner) worth my time and effort, one that will require a amount of planning in order to dissect them and their corporation piece by piece.
The issue is not one player but when a group of players try to push out to beta, it is obvious when it occurs and they are, with out proper knowledge, just a victim awaiting their death.
Shall I begin referencing examples such as FOOM, STC on Dom, STC on Norhoop, TOG, the list goes on...
