Player Features and Ideas Discussion

How was that question disrespectful?
He made the statement, regarding pilots being powerless in situations. I asked a simple question and was given a none answer. I asked another simple question, in order to clarify that response but it was ignored. So I asked again, but I'm the one being disrespectful?

Sorry for a late reply.

Anyway, here are two examples:

- scam/spam alt does not need to be in a corp to do what it was created for. An ever increasing block list of recycled alts is not a sane nor effective solution.

- suicide ganking alt do not need to be in a corp to do what it was created for. Even if it's banned afterwards (when recycled), the damage has already been done and CCP is pretty clear about PvP reimbursements.

In both cases throwaway alts do not need to be in a corporation to do damage that can not be prevented by other players.

No problem.

Scams.
It really makes no difference who scams you. You do not become powerless simply because someone uses an alt. Sure you may not be able to get at them by shooting them, but this remains the same for all chars that do not leave the station. Whether they be in an NPC corp or not, the anonymity is still there.
The power comes from knowing the game and avoiding such things. It also comes from learning from your mistakes and not falling for scams again, if you ever do.

Spams.
You have shown yourself that you are not powerless in this regard. If blocking is an issue for you, then close local chat. I have spent a fair few hours in Jita, I've never felt powerless by either spamming or scamming alts.

The point is it makes no difference whether these are in corps or not. People will still fall for scams, this is why Jita local is full of them. The human conditions means we love things that look good. Often without checking first that what we are buying, isn't actually a polished turd.

Suicide ganks.
We have already covered suicide ganking alts and the recycling of. It already is the case that this is against the rules and you are liable to be banned for exploiting this. We do not know what systems CCP have in place, in this regard. But if you suspect someone of doing just that, then petition it. I also have my doubts this is as rife, as people make it out to be.
It also makes no difference regarding what corp they are in. It will always remain against the rules.

It is. It was a way to avoid that consequence and deemed an exploit.

Throwaway alts are only there to avoid the consequences of your actions, as such they go against one of the core principles of eve.

Couldn't care less tbh, but that's how it is.

+1

What i don't understand is why anyone needs to delete an alt (same account) in less than 30,60 or 90 days? What case is legit here? If the character does not have negative status etc? Why does it need to be deleted?

In fact they only reason i see is to avoid consequences of your actions with that character. If that's a reputation as a spammer or scamer, how is that different? If its because you where in goon swarm for 30 days? Well its an action and the character is suppose to endure consequences for that.

I'd go one further. These forums are part of the game in that accounts are linked... So posting here is also part of those consequences. There are other fan forums for anonymity.

Yes this is my main, and i have only one account.

CCP should also have no problem looking at logs and seeing 'oh Hey, 120k alpha Curator II's are a bad thing....'


But.... ya know.
