The problems with opening or going HPC

[ultama]

There's no benefit from switching from LPC to HPC aside from losing members, getting outpulled and outleveled.

 

The LPC community is fine and it really doesn't affect the HPC community at all considering LPCs allow multi-clanning.

So anyone can open an LPC but the only time a new MPC/HPC comes to light it's an old one reopening. Obviously there isn't many clanless 25 def 70 prayers hopping about so anyone that comes in does usually need to train up.

 

About LPCs, most have no intention of ever going HPC and for others stepping up requires tackling problems that they either don't wish to face or their rank structure isn't equipped enough to handle.

 

Questions:

 

Why will no LPC take the step up and what problems would they face?

 

What's wrong with the current HPC scene structure (or pure community in general) that would either put LPCs off moving up or prevent a new HPC from opening from scratch?

 

 

There is no reason to step-up. Why change a good thing? The LPC scene is thriving while the HPC scene remains stagnant and boring. Who in the right mind finds hour-long crash fights filled with adamant armour a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon? At least the LPC scene offers variety and not the same old, washed-up rivalries that have been around since God knows when. Not to mention how damn toxic the HPC scene is and how many cancerous morons there are that ruin the fun of clanning.

 

tl;dr - If you're getting defence/prayer, you may as well become a zerker/tank.
