After talking to more flaggers last night, and arguably one of the top, most active flaggers in the zone other than Axe ;
I think we can find a clear consensus to remove the prize rewards entirely.
It was a simple question I posed actually..
"would you still flag if you got no green reward for it?"
The reply : "yes I would definitely flag" followed by : "I dont even like the green reward ~ the green reward was designed to get some non-flaggers started doing it...it hasnt worked that well"
I guess I'll make this my 'final position' on this matter...
Remove the prize greens entirely, leave the rest of the flag game as it is.
Flaggers that enjoy flagging for the sake of flagging, still get flag points, and will still flag by the looks of it.
As well, not handing them fully stocked ships for the priviledge might make flag games run a bit longer (making higher jackpots) and require a little more action than the constant cat and mouse game it is now, as there should end up being more parity between the flaggers and everyone else. Flaggers will have to actively green to remain strong, like everyone else in the zone....
And thus really concludes my thoughts on this matter...
Thank You everyone for the discussion... I'd like to say we'll see something happen, but thus far, the silence of those that can make changes is deafening... not that I think they aren't listening - just be nice to see some 'official' word on things... anything really... not just this...
Anywho..carry on.
