I can believe Funcom just might purposely mess up all clan hunting because they saw an imbalance in the factions. So cleary I can envision the conversation:
SVEN: Those Calnners are too many Johan, what we do?
JOHAN: Not only that, Ole syas they are too many high level Clanners too. In a few months when we force them all to engage in PvP, it will be lopsided towards the Clan.
OLE: We need to find a way so Clanners levl slower and don't learn the tactics used in open field PvP.
JOHAN: If only we could find a way to slow the clan down, and speed up the rate at which Omnis levl up. I agree we need to find a way to decrease the Caln's effectiveness at PvP.
SVEN: We could try nerfing the spawn areas, you know, make the spawn rates really long, and reduce the number of mobs too.
OLE: Great, then clanners will do nothing but missions and will not learn the tactics and skills required to coordinate teams outdoors, like when you are out hunting as a team. They will also not learn how to coordinate when other teams are also hunting in the same area. Lord knows you can get eight teams in the NW area of Lush fields alone.
SVEN: I see, but we will need to increase the invizo mobs and insta death bugs in missions, and reset the servers more often, lol, nothing like relogging in a respawned mission with 4 red mobs kicking your butt. Then even when they do missions, they will die a lot.
JOHAN: Sounds good, but they still might find out about the uber hunting in the Omni areas. How can we keep them from just flying over and hunting there?
SVEN: Well, maybe we can make it almost impossible to find a Yalmaha in missions, that way they won't even be able to get to the spawn areas.
OLE: Yeah, the clanners will get bored doing missions, and log on less. They may even start making Omni characters, once they hear about how great it is as an Omni.
JOHAN: ROFL, we will give Omni all the advantages, more money, great hunting, faster spawns, Omni only armor, and they still get any other armor in the game, and buy it for less?.
SVEN: Oh, LOL, I forgot about the 45% increase in selling items that we gave Omni. Um....... I thought that was supposed to be temporary? What if those Clanners find out?
JOHAN: Ha, "Let them eat cake".
