Player Features and Ideas Discussion

When i first started playing this game i thought that being able to shoot corpies was stupid but the more i played EVE the more i realized that drama is one of the important parts of the game.

While i dont always side with drama i think that removing this mechanic takes too much interest factor out of the game.

This isn't the same as the other freedoms the game gives you.
You are free to blow people up in high sec but it typically comes at a cost of Concord and standing, war costs, possible loss, and many other possible costs.

Awoxing is nothing more than free kills at no cost and actually goes against what so many people b!tch about, which is risk vs reward.

Awoxing is a very bright example of where risk vs reward is not applying.
People always say that if you want more Isk, you gotta take risks.
Well, if you want pvp, the. You should definitely have to put yourself at risk.
Awoxing breaks this and actually does even worse by allowing player to pad the kill boards with kills that weren't earned in a manner that is respectable.

I have no problem with war decs and suicide ganks, but this is rediculous.

Look, you can get into a corp and get all the intel you need.
Hell, you can even get them to link their fits.
The. , you can give that Intel to your corp and gank their shiny ship at a gate.

This is a good tactic and is something that can be used multiple times, as they won't know you gave intel.
However, it still comes with a cost.
This is Eve and this is how the rest of the game works.
Why is it so many people support awoxing which is a blatant slap in the face to this?

There is a cost. Said awoxer has to put in an application, and get accepted into your corporation. That takes effort and some skill, hopefully. That is a cost.

Whats really being complained about is that some have been tricked, don't like it, and are projecting blame upon the game for the result. This is the definition of a HTFU situation. You aren't helpless, there are steps you can take. Ultimately you have to accept them for them to get that green star. So really they just successfully managed to get you off your guard. Compare this to faction warfare. People can, and do join an allied or the same faction in an attempt to catch others off guard. The only defense a militia pilot has is to be on their guard They cant deny access, only trust.

I'm not a fan of awoxing or awoxers, its skeezy and dishonorable. But this is EVE, everyone has a right to be skeezy and dishonorable.

Look he's just voicing his support so lets not flame grill him for it ok?

very grown up

Scared? Everything in EVE comes at a risk, it's what makes it thrilling.

If you don't trust the Corp you are looking to join or your Corp Mates then don't join one\leave. Simple really. There are plenty of characters who spend their whole lives in NPC Corps and it has it's advantages like War Immunity but the Tax is harsh. You could create your own and invite people you trust or RL friends to play.

Trust is a rare thing in EVE but then it's a harsh universe and not for the feint of heart...now HTFU, get out there and do your thing

If it doesn't matter, than why allow it?

I am said CEO and I'm confirming I am super duper very grown up.

Remember that aggression rules are only enforced by CONCORD to prevent strife and shooting of innocents. However, once you step into a corp, you're inside a self contained group that acts as one entity to the outside, and whose affairs cannot be interfered in by 3rd parties. With the convenience of this lack of interference comes the cost of having to actually manage internal affairs yourself.

Yes, "internal affairs". Once someone is in a corp, it is presumed that he or she is trusted enough to be "one of you". That means access to your jetcans, POSes, corp hangars, and free rein to do whatever you want to or with each other. Getting rid of legal in-corp shooting is like getting rid of sharing jetcan access, or adding the ability to "opt out" of a war dec. It's simply integral to what a corp is.

If you would like to hang out with someone but don't trust them with the various aspects of being in your corp, try a chat channel and a fleet. You get the full protection of non-corpmateship, while still being able to do stuff together.
