I think the number one thing that contributes to difficulty is the fact that it is so ridiculously difficult to get into anything other than overflows. I can think of only 2 remedies:
1) Overflow Taco has a higher Time Limit (Because most people in the overflow will be unorganized and sloppy. With double the time, only the ones that stay unorganized and sloppy will be punished.
2) Only get Taco loot once per day. Because there are way too many people occupying the map. And then you’re also fighting with people who are guesting AND occupying your home world. When it comes to my loot, I’m a Xenophobe. But rather than giving priority to Home World people, I’d compromise at making Tequatl fruitful only once per day.
Just my 2 cents worth.
