In other news, just had a Conquest map on Crimson Straits and the the cap points have been moved? Don't see that in the cap notes, but I like the change, except they may be too far apart now. Probably best to move Theta in a bit closer?
That change was made a few months ago. Apparently it's a comp thing? It wasn't impacting anyone else, and everyone non-comp thought it was fine and shouldn't change, but the Cauldron is all comp-guys, and they seemed to have an issue with the placement after 10 years...

I watched twitch faction play for about 2-3 matches they all turned into farms after the 3-4 min mark granted there is an event going on but if QP gets turned into that i would not be having any fun on ethier side if implemented "as is"
And that is exactly why everyone is freaking out in opposition to the idea of QP Drop Decks. Drop Decks are probably a large part of what killed Faction Play, in concert with the organized groups. If it was just one 'mech and you could try to move on ahead of the organized opposition, you might get into sync with a bunch of fellow PUGs and have a good time, but when you're locked into being clubbed to death like a helpless baby seal for 30 minutes, because you have three other 'mechs you've gotta use before you're allowed to quit, then what's the fun in playing the mode? The rewards aren't that lucrative.
