Even if you get half of this list's ENY change, the M3 issue will still keep you from getting people to fight.
Players always find what is easy and works to avoid risk and effort. I've been trying to get you guys to build a picture of the M3 and a time line of how it has affected town captures and defense. You could have started with this list 2 months ago in a civilized manner and gotten some of it from Hitech by now. Still in all of the lynch mobery of Hitech, one thing kept standing out that was a big contributor to your problems even during ENY.
What players were choosing to do when they had to defend from your looking for a fight.
So now you have two things that may well alleviate some of your problems and you quickly hop on the sexy one concerning rides because it's the easy thing. The M3 is messy because it takes effort to identify why it's role in the game needs tweeking and showing how that is necessary in the light of the current ENY problems to Hitech. It's like crafting grants and contracts, the big parts are simple and make everyone feel good. It's the fine print and small parts nested deep in that screw you because they have the real power affecting you.
Junky was ignored because he has been yelling about the M3 for along time and he picked fights with Hitech over it. We all tend to ignore issues like that when even the dead horse is a grease stain in the road. But, as some of you have been trying to dismantle ENY and the whole process to take a look under the hood, the M3 and it's impact on the community kept cropping up.
Players would rather sneak around in M3's because the bang for the buck is often bigger watching you guys scream on 200 than man to man beating you in the air face to face. This list is nice but, it won't entice any of them to hop in planes and fight you as long as an M3 can do so much for so little effort.
