Dear CCP,
Hello Forum,

it has been mentioned by CCP Greyscale at FanFest 2011, and a few times by other 2nd line CCP employers, that this feature is still on the agenda. And that wouldn´t be a minor change, because the lowsec as a whole will take use of such a treshhold. One of the obvious reasons is that more players will use that bufferzone to nullsec a lot more, including new players.

I think the lowsec community would be pleased about a clear statement from a 1st line CCP Employer.

What are the current plans for that feature?
What are the potential problems you may have encountered, that must be solved?

Talk to us CCP, talk to us !

P.S.: Don´t forget that we should get a security increasement when killing the right people, like criminals. :-)

This shouldn't happen. It's too easily exploitable by using alts.

Again, this all is already mentioned by CCP Greyscale.

Furthermore I can´t see where this would be exploitable: A -3.0 player kills a -7.0 players and gains a security status increasment.

Create a new character, use it to attack people until it's security status is low enough (people PvP-ing in LowSec and ganking in HiSec say it's incredibly easy to do so), set it's medical clone to a station of your choice, undock it, kill it, rinse and repeat.

More effort than going to Null and ratting. Seems fair and balanced.

Your goals may align with some ... and with others, collide with the force of suns.

He has a point here.

it is not that it cannot be abused, so long as it is not practical to be abused.

People simply will not do extra work to abuse something, when they can achieve the goals easier in the correct manner.
Abuse of something is only a problem when it becomes the easy way out.

Exactly. I mean I see the point, but CCP should really revamp the security status system. And the changes CCP Greyscale mentioned are already pretty good, even if its still not solid.

The point I headed is that we don´t have a single offical statement since that.
