Re: Farmers on a mission spot

Low level kernals are just way too valuable at this stage in the game.  It is too easy to get money at a low level, and will just end up in massive inflation in a very short period of time.

I'm not exactly looking forward to there being billionaires left right and center in a few short months just because they can spend massive amounts of time farming the easiest spawns in the game.

Maybe the devs could do a database trick to see who is selling massive amounts of kernals, might locate a few goldsellers with it.

In beta, how long did it take for the majority of industry players to out grow these kernels?

I would think that it would have to level out to the point where only new players would need these kernels, and they simply won't have the NIC to buy them if they are too expensive.

This doesn't stop billionaires being produced in the mean time, unless players simply stop buying T1 kernels.

Drop the npc kernal buy orders and let the players decide their worth.  My guess is that low level kernals will be worth a lot less and it will bring balance to kernal value.  This will drive vets from the low level spawns in search of better profit.

We have NIC faucets with missions, so this wont be missed.

And cause EVEN less Beta island activity? Bad idea.

?

If anything it will force ppl out into the world more.

I'm amazed how many low lvl assault spawns aren't being farmed and yet majority of the light ones are packed.

Its due to the kernel value not scaling with difficulty. I'm still not sure why they reduced assault/mech kernel value after launch. In open beta there wasn't much issue with noob spawn camping..

I agree with getting rid of the infa-kernel buy option... there is no reason for it other than to promote farming.

its one of the two options to get NIC from NPCs - grind missions, or grind Kernels.
