“This is his entire explanation for how the system is designed to work, where he specifically says it’s not going to help you to kick out less productive people, since favor is automatically relatively weighted to give the split of favor to people who are more active and stuff.”

Sadly, I don’t think this is what works. I polled on top of every single activity, week one, in my soc. Between 10+ patrols, two hunts, two events… And that week, I got a whole ass 54 favour in a 24-big soc. And I think this is because, out of all those events, not a lot of them happened in the right borough. Which, you know… is a massive deterrent to RPing outside your bubble.

I agree it is too early to lay heavy judgement on the system yet, but this isn’t heavy judgement. I’m giving my perspective, my feedback, on the system with some doom-thinking about the possibility of it. You can’t tell me that, in a game that now requires you to even spend favour to investigate plots, and which now forces you to kind of solely focus all your society’s cooldowns (encounters, couriers, patrols, etc) in a single borough to even see any kind of reward, having such a tiny pool get divvied out between 20+ people is looking to promote communal RP. Sure, it might incentivize people to join those lower-pop socs, but then those already in lower-pop socs are meanwhile being ‘incentivized’ not to let people in, as any activity of new people would slice into their cuts of the already limited favour pie.

Week two is done.

I’ve seen daily RPXP twice, last week, despite having been active for most of it initially. Still waiting on weekly RPXP handouts, too. Due to missing the first week of payouts, I’ve also not gotten any karma credited to me while the debt continues to build up.

Is this being looked into? Can people who miss out on all this actually expect some payout of the weeks they’ve missed? Right now, it’s rather actively deterring me from investing effort into some ideas for plots/schemes/events I’ve had.

I legitimately would not mind a different Type of Raids to exist entirely, which is very much not about faction/societies duking it out against one another, and it being a Factions/Societies vs Legion incursion type thing. Though these should also come with rewards that each attending group would enjoy.

Perhaps have Operations return, and have them function as before as the PvP with mild ‘vE’ elements in the small waves. Raids could be developed from here into a wave-defense kind of deal.
