perhaps the devs could implement something like swg's storyteller items, which is a myriad of npcs, animals, vehicles, stages, etc that players over there can use to set-up live events.

Thats exactly what we need.

I think what we have now is working because people are still playing.  There's always room for improvement though.

Doesn't seem that way On Recursion these days.

Nor Vector....deadest I've ever seen it...

It was more of a "to some degree" comment.  It's working in the sense that people did the new missions, and collected the new items (still need to get that mech dana though).  Also, you have to remember that it's finals time for college people.  I know you can't make a sweeping generalization based on just one section of our community, but I'm just making a point. 

If I wasn't slaving away at this damned research paper I'd be in-game, as would the 4-5 friends I have here that play MxO.

Sure it is.  I know a few that have been banned for other stuff.  If spawn tools and such were to make it in-game, and a player sets out to abuse those tools....ban. 

Sometimes people need to be banned.  We don't need to give them extra ways to make trouble.

NO UR A BAN

Please do not turn this thread into a flame fest.

Sorry Deffdog. Was just a joke though.

Anyway, I'm not in favour of this at all. While LESIG brought a lot of good with it, for me it didn't compromise for the bad that came with it. I'm certainly not looking forward to see all the tl;dr's of people who think the new dude with supahtools doesn't deserve them.
LESIG was a good program for those who could handle it with responsibility. Too bad not everyone is capable of doing so. I say offering just a hand full of players extra options will open the same doors that lead to favouritism, lack of devotion and a lot of unhappy players that feel they depend on this one dude with extra tools and insight.

I sympathize your idea Deffdog, and you know i'd be down with it but the problem is Rarebit will never agree on this, due to alot of things including potential player abuse, professional ego, company policy, keeping his job, lol.

Pointing out the many a variables in potential abusers, which is the reason why LOs are no longer players. If you look at past topics, he's denied even smaller requests. Rmbr cinematics? We even proposed making them after the chapter ends, making a contest and all. You all know the answer, SoE policy or not...

Wth, this kind of stuff will just put the last nail into mxo's coffin. Now, with the community dying and lots of dedicated people gone, you propose to give some sort of LESIG power to random players that for some reason are still sticking around?

And how the hell is it LET related?

Don't take me wrong, canon or not LESIG stories were fun, yet always lacked the resources or people with a clue that actually were willing to solve/participate in them. It didn't fully work then, and given the current state of the game and community, I absolutely can't see how this could work out now.

SOMETING innoventive would be nice, rather than rehashed content.

"Innoventive" I like that term...

But yeah, it looks like it's come down to the one thing that we lost when SOE took over - paid staff that was able to give us the random occurances and things to interact with in terms of story. I think that if we're going to implement anything like what's been proposed, it would have to be done with such regulation, that much of the community would see it as a waste of time and/or effort. Not that I don't like the idea or the ability to be able to get more means to tell RP stories, but I'm a little pessimistic about how it would be implemented, given the policies of Rarebit and the dev team we do have at the moment.

The idea should be secondary not primary to fix the massive hemorrhaging of players, IMO.   I can see how it would look really bad to us remaining paid subscribers, ie. "Thanx for the $15 amonth, now go make ur own content lol."  We need to get something for our money, provided by the MxO team itself, beyond 3 days of content and a couple of daytime spamzilla 3D chat rooms every 6 weeks.
