You know, the fact that 50% of the people on Discord feel very strongly against LE's is utterly meaningless. Neocron has been made less and less interesting for players who don't want to PVP and particularly, as the population dropped, activities for non-PVPers completely dried up too.

There was a character on Uranus who just stood in Plaza 1 for several hours a day, day in, day out. He had alts but he never PVPed, he just wanted to play NC his way. Countless PVPers used him to re-implant after dying elsewhere.

I had a small list of researchers/constructors who were trustworthy to res my techs and build my rares. Again, they tended to have no interest in PVP and tradeskilling was their main activity.

There were entire clans (the majority of clans, actually) who had no interest in op-warring. They were social organisations where players conducted PVE and tradeskilling.

There was none of this asinine "NC isn't hardcore enough, we must fuck over people who don't want to PVP" when Neocron was at it's busiest so I'm not sure what mental hoops people are jumping through to think that somehow making NC even less attractive to players is going to make it more popular.

Most of the people posting silly arguments on the forum seem to mistake "what I think is good for how I want the game to be played" for "what is good for the game". This is clearly shown as, when confronted with even a rudimentary rebuttal of their unmitigated shite, they quietly slink away until they feel confident enough to raise their head above the parapet to unleash another load of crap.
