But buffing cardamine AGAIN? Seriously?
Not Black Market Munitions, not Blood Diamonds, not Counterfeit Software, not Slaves, not Hypnotainment Bands, not Gaian Wildlife, not Synthetic Marijuana.....
As far as I know, none of those have ever been buffed.
But instead of something interesting, we get cardamine again, for the millionth time, which also happens be the return route for what is already the number one most popular trade route, and the most profitable (by unit price).
A terrible decision, and one I really cannot understand.
Probably a rushed decision.
"What should we buff, what should we buff!!!???"
Someone in the far corner :"Cardi!"
"%$#@ it. Cardi. DONE!"
How long until the Cardi buff is undone? I'm skeptical about how healthy it's going to be for the server, since it's going to cause an influx of Junkers (reduced piracy targets) and people are now jumping from Alpha to Texas again.
And no, don't think for a second that PScrap is the root of the problem here. If you want to chase OP commodities, chase Platinum.

Except the server isn't brimming with DSE miners and the like hauling Platinum and jumping from Alberta to New London. That's a false comparison.

Before the buff the server wasn't brimming with Junkers hauling Premium Scrap to Alpha either. After it's old buff was taken away and it was balanced properly, as well as new buffs being introduced, the server population spread over onto other IDs.

I wasn't talking about Summer, I was talking about the last few months after Summer when it's been balanced. But I will agree that we really don't need this Cardi buff, but it just annoys me when people ask for Premium Scrap to get a nerf when it's not OP at all.

It amuses me that you think these changes pander to only Junkers, Alpha has been very active lately with the Cross and other Outcast indies

But it's irrefutable that on the whole this buff panders to Junkers too much.
