EVE General Discussion

Well - I still despise people calling their characters 'toons'

I have enough isk, so I don't sell Plex for isk, but people grew older and got jobs, so unless people have set up their ingame supply chain like industry, PI or trading, you make more money mowing an old ladies lawn as a 10 year old than you make ratting...



Sheep indeed - I keep characters I join alliances strictly separated from 'core' accounts. No isk transfers or station trades.




Not really - back then a bill was nothing to sneeze at, nowadays it's nothing, even to noobs.




Yeah - it's gamebreaking.



You've been in bad alliances, probably.

"Toons": Only Douches
RMT: Incorrect. Please provide evidence of your claim.



Not so much sheep. Most people honestly have nothing to hide. The API give out only character information, no personal information, so there's no need to be all crazy about giving it out. You can also feel safer, as if you know your corp is fully vetting members, it's less likely (though not impossible) for there to be a spy in your corp.


Prices: Yes and no. Your reasoning for the price rise is wrong, and again I'd like to see evidence of that claim. Battleship prices have been increased as part of the whole tiercide stuff. With Tier 3 BC firing large guns, they were effectively better than battleships for a bit. Everything's been reshuffled a bit and the amount of minerals everything requires has been balanced out a bit, which affects prices. More isk now goes to other players however as sinks have been reduced a bit. Even clones prices were brought down.

Solo PVP: Off grid boosters were always relatively normal. They will be changing it in 1.1 to prevent offgrid boosting as far as I know though. FW was put in to be an easier place to find small scale PvP than endlessly driftign through null sec, so the fact that it worked is a good thing. There's still more changes needed, but they're gettign there.


MEchanics: Generally the game was tougher back then, and a lot of the core mechanics haven't changed much, so I should hope you do have a better base of knowledge than them. The bit you'll fall down on though is the meta gaming aspects. They change quite often, and keeping up with everything that's going on can be a chore. Tiercide is forcing changes to what is flown all the time.

Elitism: Yes and no. Try joining a major incursion group without max skills and a bling fit ship and you'll still see good old elitism. We're still a better community though. Thinking about communicating with WoW players still makes me shudder a bit.

Kill rights are awarded when you are illegally killed. That's all. What other reason do you expect killrights to be awarded? When someone steals your cans?
People get flagged as a suspect for minor crimes, which makes them able to be killed by anyone, and I think that's enough. Kill rights allow you to flag someone as killable by anyone, and if they don;t get killed, you can activate it again later. Or sell it obviously. It's like a billion times better than it used to be.

My toon disagree with the OP

edit: so you space & rl poor he? sucks to be you then

Hmmmm I've never given my API to anyone...

I can, kittens, in boxes, but not Schrodinger's box.

Can't deny some of what you say rings true, but things like the Domi (OP FOTM) and other BS and ships were given 'extra materials' to their blue prints.

Basically, you need to spend around the same ISK on materials for a Domi as a Hyperion (I think that was the idea anyways).

All part of the balancing that's been going on. You clearly haven't spotted that the T1 ships now run around a lot more than they used to. Who would have thought fleets of caracals would be scarey 3 years ago? lol not me.

Now, it's quite possible they have enough numbers to pop you quite fast!

So, time for you to play catch up so that you're as confused as the rest of us come September 3rd
