Crime & Punishment

The mechanic allows corporations to implement internal disciplinary procedures. If a rogue corpmate needs punishing, you can punish him, without concord interfering.

Player corporations are serious business!

Nope, espionage and theft is fine, since generally people don't worry as much about that. They can keep most of their own stuff away from thieves. Awoxing is different. It prevents them actually playing the game the way they want to play.

Yes, so he does find a new corporation. It's called an NPC corporation. So all victims of awoxers, go ahead and join NPC corporations, you can't get awoxed there.

Are you a moron? Like really? I play with others, hence my membership of a null corporation. I'd like other people to play with others too, but many high sec players are put off, because the second they dip their toe out of their comfort zones, some ****** beats them into the ground and runs off laughing. How can you POSSIBLY expect newbies to take the plunge when every time they try they get beaten down?

LOL
It's got nothing to do with discipline. Back in the day, it was the way to practice fight with each other. Now we have duels and limited engagements that do that job (which by the way also works for webbing freighters). It's been kept in because a handful of people who make it their job to make newbies cry would ***** and whine about it if it ever got changed, yet those exact same people already cry that those newbies are risk averse.

Eve is broken. People are allowed to use ammo and ammo kills people. Can we fix this so no one can kill each other any more ? Eve would be so much safer aka boring aka dead aka wow aka I love saying aka.

OP, petition CCP. More and more players of all kinds are speaking out against how stupid CONCORD evasion is in high-sec. Add to the pile :)

Lucas, name calling is a bad thing, especially when you are calling out respected citizens of C&P like Tengu Grib. Dont do that.

I did things and they let me go. Just like alwyas.

Don't worry as much about corp theft and espionage? Really? Can I join your corp? I promise not to Awox you. I also promise I'll do way more damage than I would have just killing you.

While that is true, a better solution is to not recruit just any jack ass who applies. Do some research, there are LOTS of very high quality people who play Eve who will be fantastic additions to your corporation. And there are a few bad apples that will kill your members. I am one of the later (occasionally anyways).

So following your logic then we should bring concorde out to null sec so that new players who want to dip their toes outside of their comfort zone don't get blown up. I expect newbies to do one of two things when I blow them up:
1) Rage quit (in which case Eve was never for them anyways and they would have left eventually)

2) Learn from their mistake and try to prevent making the same mistake in the future. Players who fall into this category will be meaningful and valuable members of Eve society.

Besides, I'd really rather awox older and likely richer targets than newbies. I've actually left corps unmolested because I couldn't find a target that WASN'T a newbie.

The people who have the most fun in their early experiences in Eve are often the ones who get violenced in some way and decide that is what they want to do. Then they learn that they can do both the violence and the carebearing at the same time if they so wish.

As for me being a moron, I assure you, I am not. Come to Edmonton and have a beer with me sometime, you'll see I'm quite easy to get along with and a far cry from a moron.

Just because you don't see a use of the mechanic for that kind of thing, does not mean that others in the sandbox will play the way you want to play. If someone needs to be taught a lesson, then there are those out there that will happily oblige. It's not unheard of. I would ask you to open your mind and understand that other players have different attitudes to the game from yours.




I can see that the sandbox has allowed other forms of emergent gameplay to arise, but you are short-sighted if you think that the only use of the mechanic is that which you have been exposed to.



This just seems like more assumptions on your part. Where is the evidence that this is the case?

Or, is your opinion just better than everyone elses?

This is not a valid argument, we were all newbies at some point and we all figured it out.
