I have heard these green initiative theories, and there is no scientific proof that Aeon's factories are the cause. Tick rate increase is completely due to the players poor network connection. Not because of "Red Stones" These Tree hugging Eco terrorists are completely misleading the good people of Aeon, and without any real evidence are forcing the Great Companies of Aeon to reconfigure their factories at great personal cost to them. Tick Rate is a natural force in our environment and it is completely arrogant to think that we, the people of Aeon, have any kind of sway on these networking issues. Aeon has always had massive factories and I believe that Aeon should always have massive factories! We need not lay down our values and our way of life just to appease these "End of Days Mongers" I guarantee! That after these changes we will see no improvements in our tick rate, we will see that same issues as we have always seen and these tree huggers will feel very very foolish.
