EVE General Discussion

CCP Masterplan - We're looking at changing three things before the end of the year. First is the intracorp aggression rules - At the moment all members can now freely aggress each other. We are looking to change this so that being in the same member corp does not give you the right to legally kill your corp mates. The main goal of this is to make recruitment safer for the recruiter and the recruitee.


From page 70something of just released CSM9 mins. They on and on about Awoxing and basically how they hate it and are going to stop it. Only way will be to have clean api, join and wait 3yrs to become director and then loot hanger.....

WHAT??

WHY??

HUH?

Discuss

This thread is specifixally about the end of corp violence and it is for general discussion. Not the devblog comments to be buried and hidden until they take away awoxing forever one day. This is a general discussion on if you should be able to shoot corpmates

They shpuld just make hisec Pvp free then since you can pvp anyone im wh low or null. Keep wardecs and duels. Delete highsec pvp.

Straw man. Removing risk averse awoxing != removing pvp from hisec.

Duel your target.
War dec your target.
Suicide gank your target.

All 3 of those options are known and endorsed.

Yeah. Risk should only be added to those psychopathic griefers who enjoy PvP.

Risk should be removed for all those daring, brave HiSec pilots who run missions and mine.

Welcome to the kindler, gentler side of Eve Online.




Plushies Paradise.. here we come!

Yes, all catalysts come with plushy launchers instead of blasters from now on.

The idea is a bad one, becuase it means corp recruiters get to stop being cautious about who the let into their high sec corp.

EVE is a game, the fun is in the conflict and the danger, not in everyone holding hands singing Kuumbya in peace. The game should move towards MORE conflict and danger and ways for people to screw with each other, not away from it.

Notice how EVE was a more robust game (and how CCP was able to tout growing subscription numbers) when the game didn't have all this touchy feely crap like safeties and such? I "grew up" as a player (and learned to survive the game as a pve player) during those times, when EVE resembled a Biker Bar. Now it's starting to feel like a drum circle at UC Berkely where everyone is encouraged to talk about their feelings while monitoring their rising estrogen levels.

Working together in a multiplayer online game? Perish the thought!

I don't understand why people play a multiplayer video game if they don't like conflict and danger.

I've resisted the urge to invite mission runners I don't know into my corp because of the potential for awoxxing (which is why I only let friends in and don't charge any tax). After this change, I won't have to worry about that, I can set my corp tax to some low percent, invite mission runners to come (enticing them with access to some things like the abilty to go rat/mine in null if they want to sometimes) and sit back and rake in the isk from doing very little. I'd benifit from the change.

It's still a bad idea. Some people don't have the ability to see past their own narrow and self interested perspective (looking at you Potato), but the rest of us understand that making a sandbox pvp game 'safer' for anyone (except actual true "just subbed" newbies) is bad for the game.
