    So VS on Miller have had a population imbalance issue for sometime, when its a couple of % off its survivable but thats usually peak and DIG are usually operating a platoon or more.
    However there are lots of outfits that are not really active anymore, even DIG is half what it used to be.
    With a low pop the only way to counter was effective teamwork and radically the only way to get that to happen is purge the non-active or low member outfits. A refresh basically, outfits with a below minimum number of active players get shut down. This means active players move to active outfits.
    Yes I am sure this is going to invoke some emotion with diehards but this game is placed on teamplay, not randoms.
    Randoms in random squads dont even follow orders, the game is less fun overall.

    Just trying to think of solutions because, 200-300 or even 400% extra XP didnt fix the issue in PS1, it wont in PS2.

    Sooo, you want to force conscription of players into larger outfits? Will those larger outfits then also gain access to Commissars that enforce your policy? Hmm? Will we be shot in the back if we prefer to play our own way with our friends in our own outfits?

    What's the endgame here? Merge all of Miller VS into one single outfit under the iron fist of a politburo?


    This suggestion spits in the face of the very freedom that defines Planetside 2.
    Go and live out your authoritarian power fantasies somewhere else.

    And you think forcing them into a larger outfit would change that? I have bad news for you on this one. If players dont want to follow orders and if they dont want to use coms they wont do it. Your purge idea would only lead to anger while achieving nothing. And dont call ppl with small outfits diehards ;)

    Randoms are just people not in your squad or outfit and the type of teamplay you see with 96+ vs 96+ has yet to win the continent.
