What a mess in low sec. ANd just a few years back everything was so nice there, people running small gangs, kiling stray cruisers. Now you have to get titan to gank overwhelming NPC forces.
The Angel ones show red icons and shoot my corp mates all the time because they have low Angel standing. Because I never shot Angel rats and did missions vs Gallente and Minmatar I have high Angel standing but terrible Gallente/Minmatar standing. As a result those rats show grey icons instead of red and do not shoot me.
The normal Angel rats still show red and shoot but the powerful ones that come to the station, belt mine, and the gates do not shoot.
I imagine that the same might be true for the faction rats that are being discussed. If you have high Amarr standing/low Minmatar, then the Minmatar ones will probably show red icons and shoot you or vice versa.
Your game is in a lot of trouble. I know this Aeschee local and I’m familiar with those old hunting trails and I can’t believe all the Citadels. You got a real issue - his buds have probably dumped this game a while ago.
Don’t have bad standings with neither of them?
It’s funny to see these self proclaimed Minmatar militia tough guys getting wrecked by no other than NPCs.
Such amount of Alpha bots is effect of decision by CCP to introduce Alpha mechanics to the game.
All crappy change even if justified is just a crappy change.
CCP could have made a few promotions for new players like 1 month of gameplay ocasionally once a year or two times. But CCP went full Alpha.
That even did not help them financially. And the game is full of RMT bots and there are 2, or maybe even 1 guy in security, banning the bad guys I assume. Thousands of them bots.
I used to think the devs were just fail. But this kind of thing makes me think they are intentionally sabotaging the game. Maybe the stock option deal sucked in the sale, I don’t know, but the string of really bad design choices can’t possibly be lack of skill.
