No matter how you square it, Syndic is right. Beta/Gamma needs more reward for the risk. Killing the same group of people over and over and over and over again simply doesn't cut it. 

Before you make the vein pop in your forehead, I spend 98% of my time on alpha.

If Beta/Gamma doesn't get additional rewards then alpha needs a considerable amount of additional risk.

if you're interested, I'll tell a real farm income in the alpha
2 hour non stop farm ~40-50kk nic. for 4lvl place

p.s. damage perfect + nexus modules
Now count how (OP) long it takes to get this level of farm ... (1year and more without boost)
it's a decent income for agent higher level. you just need to get rid of botting (if it exists)

because the game has no new users, and farm not a mass phenomenon. then I can confidently say that the "war Botting users", use whining for developers, aimed against certain agents.(lately I see no more than 4-5 Farmer in the game). Think now ...

you want red npc? really? back this s#%t https://youtu.be/5bSFjb-J5aI?t=50s  ???

create change considering the wishes of new agents. do not try to make the game interesting for the older agents, which should no longer be here ...

Too complicated. I propose a ban violators. Works 100%. And bugusers too. After the first ban, the rest ponder on this. Yes, you lose 1-3-5-10 customers, but will raise the confidence of the new players. And maybe banned people will buy game again.

upd: AFK-miners? It is a perversion. I in half an hour to dig out as much ore as AFK-scarab in 10 hours. Do not pay attention to them. And yes, return the red NPCs at alpha islands.

Yes, I didn't think that was a secret.

I would agree with this, but this would require an engaged DEV team.  If it takes 6 months and several tickets for the DEV team to realize reds are not spwaning on gamma (or epi is spawning on gamma), how do you think they will be able to detect, verify and deal with violators of anything.  We need to be realistic here and not ask things form the devs that they can not provide.

Agree, but many, many, many players afk mine.

I do not have an automated means to mine in a riv.  I will fill up my rivs in about 6 min and have to unload into a can.

Well look at it this way: at least we know where we can improve.

I'm really looking forward to this patch, what to see in General chat will be 1000 people online

little pvp? create free all mk1 robots and T1 modules, u get massive pvp

I strongly agree with this.  I await the reintroduction of the npcs hunting the players on Alpha!

The problem really comes into nic value of plasma.  Maybe plasma could have levels, or a purity Content.  So, Alpha Plasma purity level bronze would be worth 150, silver 175 and gold 200.  Beta bronze 175, silver 225 and gold 275.  Gamma bronze 275, silver 325, gold 375. 

Risk vs reward. 

Or ... Flat nic payout like EvE rats.  Where plasma is used to raise standings which slowly decrease, but you can buy buffs, ammo or items.  Ammo like ... Frost ... Adds the demob effect. 

Perhaps the latter is a bad idea.  But could prove interesting.  ;)

In both scenarios, you would be able to sell all current plasma for typical prices placed before the change came out, whether you saved it or just weren't in-game, no need to be punished.

No, but I don't see what difference it would make, other than reduce risk a bit.

i am trying to explain that since the implementation of plasma. The above response is just... the usual

The other thing to consider is, if my plasma system were utilized, the plasma drops would have to be reworked. 

I understand that plasma is dropping from certain assaults that drop more then a mech.  Though I personally do not know of the npcs in regards to this, however, that should never be the case unless its an Tier 4 / 5 assault and the mech was a Tier 1.  However, I understand that the Tier levels were the same.

Therfore, above all else ... please, adjust plasma drops off a modifier that is more realistic to bot size, abilities, Tier level and section (thunderstrike, earthquake, havoc, smasher, blastwave ... ect)

I am not against a risk vs reward system, surely we need one.  What i am against is unbalanced pay for the risk vs reward system we currently have.  Though, I do wish I'd have been farming a long time ago.  Lol

Honestly, the static spawns aren't the real problem.  It's the lack of a challenge at the locations that make it too easy.  Imagine if you had a double or triple spawn ... When you sufficiently angered its brethren, the other spawns would have a % chance to aggro you, increasing the chance % per npc unit destroyed.  You can see how this could get interesting or much harder solo ... Even with buff and rep bots.
