The AP system, while it slows down the growth of the top players also prevents new players from being able to actually catch up to the top players. This has been the main flaw with it. However the Pros do out weigh the Cons with the system.
On another note I want to say congrats to Donn and Exousia on becoming mods. I hope that the both of you are ready for the grief that comes with being mods however I hope that you will temper your judgments so that we do not have issues such as in the past with certain people getting banned for stating the same things that the both of you had already stated.
I have time and time again provided Titam with options to increase the PvP aspect of the game as well as improve the AP system. He has declined from replying each time. Back when SGP did all the testing on Revelations and Faith, I had suggested that Revelations be killable with an AP cost equal to half of what Revelations costs to activate. Same thing with Faith. Otherwise as it stands Revelations is impossible to prevent from happening.
I only hope that the two of you are actually listened to by Titam. I know many here on the forums and within the game always thought that SGP was going for changes that would better SGP however over 75% of the suggestions by SGP members actually would have hurt us in round 1. Yet because of how effective we were Titam felt we were not to be trusted and our suggestions were not worthy of consideration. Hence why almost every suggestion SGP made directly was ignored. We have had better success by going through other people to get ideas suggested and avoided commenting on them to get Titam to actually listen.
Mind you I am not stating this to berate Titam but to make a point. And that is that I hope the suggestions you both propose, many of which were already proposed in the past by SGP or discussed via IRC by SGP, actually happen this time.
I do not know if I will continue past round 2. The flavour that these forums have taken on has become somewhat distasteful especially with some of the "newer" players that have joined the forums. That combined with the awesome expansion to
Lord of the Rings Online which has won several awards already and the upcoming, highly anticipated expansion to
Eve-Online which has the current tournaments finals being shown on live at
Eve TV that will go live in March will probably be taking up most of my time.
The
SGP Forums will stay up and running until further notice. So you will always be able to get a hold of me there.
I will catch you on the flip side and will continue to provide assistance to those who ask to the best of my ability.
