Player Features and Ideas Discussion

You should read the responses on a comment before responding. The response is this:
This is an addition which would add another level of safety, and thus remove a portion of the game mechanics that make EVE the game that is is. EVE is based on the idea that building trust is incredibly important. Other MMOs will allow you to be able to team instantly with random strangers and have a fun party time, but that's not the way EVE works. With EVE, you need to build and destroy relationships, always with the understanding that things are not always as they seem. That level of meta gameplay is what makes EVE unique, and detracting from that would be going against all of the work that has gone into EVE since it's creation.

The OP is suggesting this idea because it fulfils his immediate need, without any thought on how it affects the whole game. This is understandable, as he is very new to the game. What people get frustrated with is that once they disagree with his posts, he throws around insults and abuse blocking people left right and centre. This leads to situations like me. I will automatically respond to Harry's posts more aggressively that most others as I know the responses I'm likely to receive if I poke any holes in his ideas. I'm sure a lot of the others feel the same.

Wow, that's an AWESOME IDEA!!!

Now I can start up a fleet and jump in a logi. I'll get some "bro's" in the fleet and take them out to aggress some "targets". Then I can disable fleet member targeting and rep the targets, becoming an invulnerable logistics ship regardless of the system's security status, corp affiliation or suspect timer! You're brilliant!


Wait, what?

Are you serious? Like really?

You want every offensive module / drone cycle to check not just the target's current fleet association, but also fleet membership history (or time down a flag to check against for every fleet they recently joined/left)?

This would obviously not have any negative repercussions on server performance with 4500 people and 20 fleets in system. Nope. None whatsoever.

I think the weirdest logic here is that anyone would want to team up with a bunch of random nerds when they can just play with their friends.

if you don't want to get screwed by people in your fleet, stay in highsec and leave lowsec/0.0 to those with a stronger backbone

stop demanding that CCP make sweeping changes to the game to accommodate you

you just don't understand what a true random is... you are too attached to your "friends"

You are right, you can demand what you want. That doesn't make it any less stupid though. So expect to continue blocking 99% of the community for disagreeing with you. Personally I love watching you post thread after thread of dumb, badly thought out ideas then crying when you get bashed for it.

Oh, and have you thought maybe you aren't being too flexible yourself? You want everything to be available to you as an individual, so the individual playstyle is king. This is an MMO mate, other people play and it's designed to be better by making friends and playing together. Maybe if you didn't make a fool of yourself daily you'd have more friends to play with.

See, I think he needs to get over more than that. First of all, he needs to get over his bullshit expectations of EVE, and accept it for what it is.

I think he needs to get over himself. And he definitely needs to get over his entitlement mindset.

I am wondering if the "King of High Sec" is going to relocate to save his subject from being exploded by the vicious ebil goonies during the interdiction to come, or whether he will remain shooting industrials and cynos in his bomber (Although, admittedly, at the moment, he is getting exploded more than industrials)

wow terrible idea got to 8 pages and still in the wrong forum! i'ma go see if someone will move it
