NOE's were running rampant (and still are at times, just log on when orange has an "island" map. You can try to follow the "Jokers" around that map as they NOE first one side and then the other of the map.) and HTC lowered the radar to 65 feet.
I have no idea what you are going on about, but, the squad has changed a lot over time. We rarely run missions anymore and just about never NOE. No NOE's since
long before the summer change to 65 feet. One of the more regular country mission runners got upset with a few in the squad recently when he called NOE and they basically said "screw that", and climbed in.
An occasional mission yes, 1 or 2 every couple of weeks, maybe ... the focus has changed as people evolve.
Mission running in general is a lot less frequent recently on the Bish side of the map at least. No shortage of calls for them of course ... but a lot less actually being run.
