Maybe a "high powered" guild only wants a small op for whatever reason (RP device, hand out stuff to newbies, etc). Maybe a "weak" guild wants to take a high lvl op. Otherwise it turns into a high vs low. Big boys play their games and little boys play their game (until they're big enough to play with the big boys). It would cause segregation, and that's always a bad thing.
hmm, i see where u are coming from - especially the rp/political reasons for holding an op. but currently we have something much worse than segregation; only the big boys are getting a look in. like it or loathe it there is a sense of progression in ryzom - you get levels and experience, become more powerful and move onto bigger things - its a game mechanic that in our case is necessary to support everyone. if the regions were not segregated into 50/100/.../250 things would be, well, frustrating for all but the experienced. handing stuff out to newbies is not in my mind the best way to do things - better to let them work for and achieve it themselves.

2 dappers, etc :)

<snip for length>

Leveling is part of the game yes. But we as players don't need to segregate ourselves any more than the game does already.

More ops would help the segregation problem of "only the big boys" getting a look "in".

(for the record I don't consider myself a big boy. You'd be surprised how recently I got my first lvl 200 skill)

I think that the Maurauders should attack and try to 'retake' an outpost 24 hours after the OP's threshold reaches zero. The defending guild should be able to call on friends and allies to help them keep the op, but any guilds wanting to open it up (reset to npc "owned") should be allowed to fight on the attacking (npc) side.

I don't see a problem with the current 'fix' in the short term, but in the end it will help only the powergamer types and leave everyone else (dedicated roleplayers, casual players, new people) completely out in the cold. Since outposts are the only dynamic and player controlled part of the environment at this time, that would be a bad move for the middle/long term.
