Just because you lack initiative to do the same does not make it easier to level as a Neutral. You have to ask the same people to join your teams.Quote:

The rest of the PvM grind isn't side locked.Quote:

I see it as most new players never needing to pick a true side in conflict and just stay neutral killing any part of the story that involves the war between Clan and Omni.Quote:

Lol... Your hillarious to say the least... I'm gonna assume your kidding or just extremely ignorant... Neutrals have been attacking Clan for the past 6 years I've played and hell attacked Omni too granted not as much but that kinda goes without saying where else would you leech when not allowed on Clan bots... Either you have no clue about NW or just play with your eyes shut... What do you expect we're not gonna attack neuts when they attack us? Lol gimme a break...Quote:

Obviously most level 200+ players won't change from Clan to Omni or Omni to Clan if given the chance, maybe a tiny percentage. If they want to give up their tokens just to refarm them and the necessary faction scores then they 'earn' their change.Quote:

Doesn't add up. Never did. Any sided player should be able to become Neutral at any time. I suppose a case can be made for level 200+ sided players not being allowed to, but up to 200 you certainly should be able to opt out. Especially since Neuts can now do whatever the hell they want whenever the hell they want.
Any new alt that I roll will now remain Neutral until I have intentionally and blatantly abused the TL7 BS / VP system by joining the winning side and the other benefits (while enjoying my tokenless Neut neck items along the way) before eventually and certainly joining Clan where I will spend my VPs earned as a Neutral for my sided token board. There is little reason not to take advantage of this for an alt that will go to TL7. Oh, I am sure I will annoy several Neuts by doing this but I'll be doing exactly what many Neuts are inviting me to do by requesting (and relentlessly crying for) this change. Thanks and sorry, you'll get over it.
Neut token boards don't make sense but it's understandable considering the improvements to the sided boards. Anything else is too much and making less sense than what we already had in place.
Lol ignorant clanner. The majority of the large Neutral orgs on RK1 cut a deal with clan months ago.Quote:

Haha... Right with clan yeah... Stop talking if you have no clue wtf your talking about, seriously... Lol... Who's the ignorant one here?Quote:

If possible, I'd really like to see an explanation (plz!) as to why this decision was made in addition to the token boards because it doesn't make sense to offer both. I only recall seeing requests to have one or the other, not both. Thanks for that info, SultryVoltron, that makes sense on the surface but I'd really like to dig at least a little deeper to help me and others understand because there are some concerns that it brings up. I don't even have a Neut that I play actively but I can see how this could damage or frustrate the pure Neut community in the long run. I can see many Neut orgs being temporary homes for players from both Clan and Omni. That's not good for individual orgs or Neuts as a whole.
I'd also like to know why sided players can't become Neutral in light of this change (even pre-200).
Not demanding answers or anything like that, it's not a deal breaker for me. It's just that this is the most unusual change I have seen since Means has been in the driver's seat. I'd simply like to understand the logic behind offering both the token board and a post-200 sided application for Neuts only.
Reread last FWM. Does it say anything about a neut tokenboard?Quote:

I assumed he meant a token board / neck item but whatever, my point stands.
Mostly RP reasons, I suppose.Quote:

Seriously. All the people who set this change in motion with their whining (3+ years ago) are now gone. Nobody's going to be signing these forms, because either you like being neutral, or you rerolled years ago, or you quit.Quote:

Maybe this is a blatant move to have better availability of side locked content (Inf, BS) for the players with most of the ppl not switching pre-220. But then again, maybe it is pure shortsightedness.
I predict the new side change forms will be mostly used as a new chew toy for trolls.Quote:
