well it sounds like there are lot of suggestions to take from then… To have an option to use perk points are not a bad idea. It feels like it’s more like an excuse for not trying to. And you didn’t explain what kind of chaos there will be. Again just seems like another excuse.
Have there been used same energy to look at it instead of defending how the ENY are working today then I’m pretty sure there are some good ideas out there that can make this game better for all of us.
The main reason to have ENY is to handy cap the team with the numbers by limiting the equipment available to them to attack the other teams. In the 20 years I have been playing this game nobody's come up with a better way to handle the issue of one team having a large imbalance of players as compared to the other teams.
There have been many suggestions over the years and they have all been shot down because they do not handle the issue as well as ENY. Some even would make things worse, like using perks. All that would happen is the team with the numbers would still use high ENY equipment because most players have thousands of perks, so they would hav the advantage of both numbers and good equipment.
Those that seem to shoot down ideas have just been here so long that these discussions are all repeats and so they just post the final conclusion.
It is what it is.
