EVE General Discussion

Metric Ton

I'll just leave this here..

If you're in highsec and you're fighting on a station either you're a moron who thinks that station camping is a good idea or your opponent is a moron who thinks station camping is a good idea.

When someone is station camping you there's nothing forcing you to undock and shoot them and die and when you're headed to go fight war targets there's nothing forcing you to sit outside a station they're docked in.

Station games only happen when someone is an idiot.

GSF is very very good at the metagame. Not quite like BoB (sending a guy to cut power, Jeez) but certainly more effective. GSF and The Mittani say so quite clearly. To win Eve you have to keep your pilots more entertained than the other guy. As long as you have pilots willing to login and throw ships at the enemy, you can keep fighting for ever. You lose when your morale cracks.

But better yet to influence the game's very rules to suit your style of play, or your strengths, such as a strong external community.

The old tactic of complaining on the forums isn't going to cut it. Anti-GSF posts are immediately detected, located and counter-posted by their dedicated forum warriors.

GSF probably doesn't need to forum-post to achieve their goals. It is probably far more effective, and invisible, to lobby CCP behind the scenes. Hence the CSM election. How effective is it? Who knows? And hence the suspicion.

The danger is that "Internet Metagame Warrior" may have a smaller potential market than "Internet Spaceship Warrior". The GSF has set the standard, and if to "Win" Eve you need to spend more time fighting out of game than flying around in pretend internet spaceships, then customers may start looking elsewhere. It's a fine balancing act for CCP.

I love the linear thought process that goes into devising this conspiracy theory.

CCP makes it that the cost of a wardec is based on the number of members in the defending alliance.
Goonswarm has the most members of any alliance, therefore they'd benefit the most (ignoring that they live in lawless space).
Therefore, Goonswarm must have convinced CCP to put in this mechanic.

bravo guys

Idiot

That's a very cool story and all but totally non-responsive to my point. I too am willing to accept that you know nothing about 0.0 warfare. Fair enough. (3 months, lol)


Whatever "muppet" means it must be really offensive to somebody somewhere. I'll file that one away. On the other hand, do try to keep your stories straight. If you are complaining about needing a wardec to avoid dying to gateguns while shooting at eve uni newbies that's cool. (your laundry list of killmails complaining about damage from gate guns comes to mind). If it is now about GCC or whatever, then that's cool too, but do try to be honest about what it is you are whining about. It helps the rest of us keep up without having to predict your next wild move.

My core point still hasn't changed. If you want to buy a lot of targets to shoot at you're going to have to have the money to pay for it. If you can't pay the price for the service then I would reconsider how important it is to you instead of whining about how unfair the game is to you. I mean, if you really want people to take you seriously as some sort of "real PVPer" then the least you can do is avoid whining on the forums about how unfair things are.

If you really think you should be paying less to shoot at people, I would consider purchasing less rights to shoot at less people. I hear that if you purchase less of something you end up paying less for it.

So what alliance benefits the most from the War dec changes?
What alliance was having their wardecs attract massive numbers of allies to there enemys in droves?
What alliance gains the most from the super nerf to the ally system?
What alliance realized that with so many wardecs they were out manned in Hi-sec?
So what alliance would most want them removed?

Welcome to Goonswarm online, the game built to protect one set of Nullbears.

I would but the members of Goonswarm haven't authorized that for the game yet.

I didn't make it mutual as they stated they would permadec me and one of the aims was for a pointless spending of their isk. They dropped the war after the first week. The support from allies was great, this was of course before the nerf to protect Goonswarm.

Thanks for asking.

you really dont listen, read my previous post to understand why the dec was done. Or do some research. the targets were already on our doorstep. The dec allowed a more flexible use of our limited resources
