At one point I was running around with General-rank characters who had no PvP kills, but dammit they did have that spiffy Barc speeder and lots of slick factional armor! Or if they did play it, maybe they've forgotten how the PvP worked. I'm not exaggerating, either, because I did this on several alts. This spawned the phenomenon known as base-busting, where it was entirely possible for PvP-averse players to travel in huge AFK herds from one opposing factional base to the next while a couple of players took turns blowing stuff up with their alts and granting everyone in the vicinity some substantial rewards. The NGE also gave us the ill-conceived base system that never amounted to anything other than an easily exploited faction reward grind.
That's subjective, of course, but there's no denying that it a lasted for two years in its pre-NGE form as opposed to six years after the NGEand b had dozens more features and much more sandbox functionality after October It eventually gave us Restusswhich was a sort of open world battleground hybrid centered on an NPC city and at best was an exercise in endless repetition. On the contrary, I thought the game as a whole improved significantly post-NGE. And hey, it's pretty simple, at least conceptually. I didn't have any wordcount left at the end of that novella to propose any solutions, so I'm going to do that today.
