i am a PvE Player and i like the tradeskill system and that is why i play Neocron.
If you want pure PvP - play a game that's only focused on PvP (Planetside 2 as example)@PvPJunkies

Neocron is an MMORPGFPS-Hybrid and that implicates that there is PvE and RP Content to explore and PvP aswell.
Arista Barrets main focus is to get as much ganking spots to get kills and destroy someones day - regardless of a low-char or not - he would instantly get his "kill" - bad idea to give in on his asked favor. The LE is a PvP Protection that makes sense to prevent constant grieve-play and finely destroy the game for new players.

So i would agree that DoY, Ceres-Labs and MC5 should be Zones where the LE is inactive (since its a City-admin-Tool - if we take the storyline with in this discussion) we could explain this by saying: Dome Of York and Ceres-Labs contain to much old-techs that interfere with the LE-Signals) - this would mean:
So Arista and all High-Level PvP-Guys, would have the chance to fight the competitors in these Places but would keep the gank-prevention of low-players in place in most of the areas where its needed.

downside of this option:
Worst thing that could happen, that a bunch of douchbags collect enough other douchbags around them, so that they could prevent anyone else from getting highlevel stuff(MC5,DoY-Stuff,WoC-Discs) - that would have a direct impact on the economy of Neocron. MC5, DoY Things and WoC-Discs would be priced by the group that would have control over this area of the game (sadly theres only ONE MC5 - so MC5 prices would rocket up in the sky and just a few of the people in NC could efford them or even get them their selves.

think about it
