Universal ETA's - r23

This is to see what other PA players think and if you agree with what i have to say here.

First the PA team instituted the eta change to cluster eta's to reduce def to -1 and attack to 0. This as i understand it was made in effort to reduce the large number of incluster attacks/farming that has gone on beforehand.

This would have been a very postitive change for the game if they had not, imo, Reintroduced the hypergate (eta -4) back into the game, once again speeding eta's, but not only does this re-speed cluster attacks back up but it also increases universe eta's to match cluster eta ( which was the inital problem as i understand it ). Effectively cluster ETA's don't change at all, but the entire universe speeds up to match those pesky cluster eta's we've all had to endure so frequently in the attempt to promote cluster alliances, it opened the way for some major farming.

With both these changes implemented it would only leave a maximum of about 1h 55min to cover any fighter or corvette wave launched at you or your gal. I don't truly see this as fair to the gals with less inactive members ( people who work, sleep or socialise at all). IF your in a top-notch active gal this isn't a problem, but only a handful of gals are like this as we've all experienced.

SO my argument is why not just to the -1 to cluster eta's as already planned and leave the universe eta's as is by not re-introducing the hypergate as the purpose was to remove those incluster farming/attacks with such low eta unfair to cover. This would solve the problem entirely, PURE and SIMPLE if you ask me, so what do the over thousands of PA players think of this idea/argument, whatever you choose to call it.

As i understand removing the hypergate and leaving the -1 to cluster eta's change in place, there would be no problems to the game. Apart from denying those OLD players a chance to relive the hypergate days . I also believethis would result in relieveing the pressure on less hardcore galaxies within the game and improving the gaming experience for those who don't necesssarily play for ranks. And thus give reason for more casual players to come/stay with the game as a whole, thus improving the whole PA experience we all enjoy so much.
