Who is number 1?
You are number 6.
I am not a number. I am a free man!

There is no real way you  can mess it up, you may have to lose a bit of time getting things where you want them, but the toon is never really gimped.
I love the system the way it is, if you learn something you take some time to learn it, then move on to learning something else, if you spent a semester taking underwater basketweaving in RL you did not gimp yourself, you just wasted the time (unless you want to become an underwater basketweaver i guess) and can still learn more later.
Having a reset of any kind would just encourage the "flavor of the month" builds that are so common in other games, or having people decide to respec on a whim. Many here i think would not like that very much, but we will have to see what others say here.

Oh, i do not have problems with other languages, countries, etc. I often run with speakers of other languages, and never mind it if they are not real good at English, in most cases they know English far better than i know their language, and many know it better than most English speakers.
I was talking about the horrible use of one letter words, blatant misspelling, lack of punctuation, forgetting spaces for several words in a row, and other things from English speakers, Most people that have English as a second language (even if they do not know it well) will not use u, r, ez, etc. for words, will at least try to use spaces between their words. I usually do not bother commenting, but anyone that knows the word pretentious and uses it properly either knows how to spell properly and is misspelling purposely or is just lazy.
Sorry, should have left it alone, their statements speak for themselves.

Where do you get your numbers from? They seem suspiciously like, mmmmm, a guess of what you think or want them to be......this game, EvE and a few others would have highly different numbers using these categories you made up. I mention EvE in this because a large number of people here are from EvE or used to be players of EvE.

.05% of the population is PvP? are you seriously saying that there are only 0.3 PvP players in this game? and 30 semi? There has been a peak number of users of approx. 600 according to several sources.
Get a sense of reality, don't spout off made up numbers, at least try to stick close to some semblance of truth, and then you might, just might, get a bit of credibility. I highly doubt it though since you are ranting about how bad PvP and PvP players are in a PvP game.
Maybe this is not the game for you, perhaps Hello Kitty online or SecondLife is more your speed.

Actually it should (not 100% sure) be easier to just let people have access to the market outside stations, then it would not have to be in another format, I would love to see this and skills such as remote buy/sell, remote buy/sell orders, etc.

Ah, thank you. I did not know they had changed it, great news!

Have you read what people are saying?
I know of at least three people that have already left due to this very issue, and there have been days where i got sick of it and went back to DDO and/or EvE, it is sadly making me spend less and less time here, since it is affecting my and mu friends enjoyment of the game.

To simply state go somewhere else is NOT a viable issue when most or all of the first tier areas are being camped in this way, you even acmit to seeing it and doing it.....alone. I have seen one-two pilots lock out an area while three smaller mechs sat watching on the edge of the field, were these smaller mechs fans watching the game? little groupies wanting scraps?
Where else should they go? Go try to fight 1st stars?
As i have said before; If it was about higher level areas or anything in the outer islands i would agree and say tough, that is what the game is about, fighting over resources, go somewhere else, put up with it, or put your ammo behind what you think is right.
What ends up happening though is newb A goes out on first mission after tutorial wanting to try out their brand spanking new Prometheus, finds the quest area..........full of larger mechs and containers all over.......
"oh, there is a bot i need to kill! hmmmm, what do i do now, ok, lock....oh, it's dead already, there another, wow, these guys lock fast......
30 mins later said newb logs off not even getting one kill, they may or may not have dropped the mission to try another area which is also farmed.

People that cannot see the problem here either are mentally deficient, or hate this game and want it to fail. If you piss off enough newbs, they will leave, they will tell their friends which are other possible newbs, this also inhibits people coming to look because their friends are here. I refuse to recommend this game to others right now because i know that they would not like this, i tell them it is a good game, good potential, but they aren't there yet, wait a while.

As i have said before it will end up with a group of old-timers sitting in their empty outer islands blaming everything but themselves that the game is dying before the plug is finally pulled.

Does this mean dumbing down the game, or catering to the newbs?
Perhaps, but it is not something that has to change the whole game, or affect anything beyond the first week of play for many. There are many easy ways to fix this, one of the easiest being to move the the things that are being farmed to other mechs in other areas. If there is nothing the old timers want there, then they will not farm there. This is just one suggestion, there are probably many others that would work, many would likely be better than mine.

The only stupid thing to do here is to ignore the problem.....

If you accept missions as squad, it actually takes longer to gather since it shares the reward with everyone in the squad, that was the point of the thread, that there is no incentive to being in a group other than the "fun-factor". I still group when friends are about, but "accept as squad" on missions is plain useless.

If you go to the PvP areas you are consenting to PvP.
Open PvP means exactly that, not "oh, wait, i wasn't ready." Or "Why do you wanna pick on newbs! You have to leave us alone!".
If people do not want to be ganked, they should team up, take precautions, or simply not enter. This is part of the draw of games like this and EvE, it is not the neighborhood playground where people need to enforce fairness. Other than issues of gaming the system from outside, all is fair in PvP.
Some hints on the PvP areas, never pilot something that you can't afford to lose, never take it personally, and at least try to have fun with it, if you cannot follow the above, then this type of game is not where you should be.

You just restated what i said, not sure what you are adding.......I said that any of the specialized bots (COMBAT and otherwise) were worth far more than the prometheus and other "starter" bots, even people that will be running combat will not really want a prometheus (and similar), it is just as useless to them as well, the starter bot is just to get you going. These bots can mine, harvest, or do combat acceptably, although not very efficiently.

According to a GM that was talking before wipe (forget who, and it may not be the same now) Accepting as squad only shares the reward, not amount of kills, etc.
I would not mind this if a group got a quest to kill 10 bots, then you go out and kill 10 for the squad, or even having to kill ten per person in the squad, but it ends up needing much more kills.
Before wipe i was in a squad of 2, we had to kill around 30 for each of us to get ten each, it was because the other person was a combat build, i was a merchant build with minimal weap skills. if they tagged it first or did more damage (not sure which) i would not get credit for the kill.

As it is it is pretty useless and yes, far as i can tell means it is better to fight solo than in a group.

I can see where a password would come in handy, you could have a can at level 1 that just one person or a squad could access without letting all the other 1's in. Not sure how important that should be on the to-do list though.
