Faction warfare weapons and tag costs

Caldari and fed navy LP store: 5 run weapon BPCs

Amarr and Minmatar weaponis: purchased one at a time for the same cost, ends up being 5x more expensive for the same number of items.

Tags drop too slow, no indication of where to source them. I ran level 1 missions looking for private insignia class 3’s and found ONE, the average anomoly site drops less than one. How are people supposed to find these items? Best of all, something like 13 years ago I raised this exact issue and had the CSM Malcanis agree with me. Facwar LP stores are in need of renovation.

This isnt a problem just endemic to FW LP stores but all factional LP stores even in the empires. There have been numerous threads in the past calling for a revamp to the drop rates and turn in rates for LP stores that have fallen on deaf ears for CCP/FC over the years. This is not a new problem. It goes back almost to the beginning of missions and LP stores in Eve in what like 2003/2004.

CCP/FC set the rates and set drop rates and have forgotten them as they have put new content in instead of balancing the rates in existing LP stores. Perhaps to ensure that some things werent farmed and some things were given some metric they internally wanted? Or just to irk people throughout Eves lifespan.

You are preaching to the choir in this regard as it is something we have wanted but doesnt warrant the dev time to come up with something feasible in terms of return on time invested for the gains it incurs and so stays untouched like bad, old code in Eve.

In my opinion, new content/NPCs specifically designed to encourage and facilitate the dropping of certain tags might help alleviate the issue but will CCP/FC listen or care is another question.
