Increasing Activity in Discovery

[pillow]

And in such a circumstance I would quit...

I think many other people would. There are people out there that absolutely and utterly despise trading - myself included. Then again, I have a distinctive disgust of anything related to capital ships so that's probably why. I'm rolling in around 100-200 million creds at the moment if I'm not mistaken, and if I run out I could sell a ship to the conn vendor/take the AU8 off it and I have money for a new one. (I only fly snubs.)

Now let me talk about the point I actually wanted to make before I saw your post:

Increasing activity in Discovery is hard. Why? Whining.
There is whining everywhere, I know, but it's really really bad when the community is tiny and it still has the guts to whine.
Wars? Whining.
No wars? Whining.
Raids? Whining.
No raids? Whining.

I bet all your ass-cheeks that people would whine if everything were to literally go back in time back to 4.85.
I also am willing to bet all your asses that people would whine if activity were to rise up a hundred fold. Why? Because hey, look at that convoy of completely silent traders! And also, check out those 10+ groups of double-nova Barghests ruining everything they can! And look at that; people that can't be bothered to roleplay in the slightest! I love those guys!
And of course, we cannot forget our favorite official faction dramafests.
"Wow, active faction. +1 hate."
"Wow, inactive faction. +1 hate."
"Wow. Raids. No. +1 hate."
"Wow. No raiding. No. +1 hate."

Of course, there's always that one guys that smiles to everything. But that one guy usually gets shotgunned in the eyes first by the other guys.

So yeah uh.
That's my opinion.
