Player Features and Ideas Discussion

So he may not have his own doorbell you can ring, but is there something stopping you giving the kid a beat down?

You could make his life a misery.

And I'm not talking about catching the inty. Go RF all their POS, hellcamp the place the call home. Go dish out some retribution.

So waste even more of your time doing boring things while they jump clone to highsec or play on alts and hide out until you go away?

To be fair, those battles could happen (virtually) tomorrow if the players wished it to be so.

Blaming the lack of a conflict driver on the new sov system is disingenuous.

The reason they do not, is players currently value ownership of space pixels over blow-out levels of fun.

There is nothing wrong with this of course, but keep in mind that's the current mindset yet at the same time people moan about a lack of big fights and a lack of fun; when in reality what they want to have all the fun and none of the risk of losing said space pixels.

We could have a big fight at the weekend if people were so inclined, as I goaded our Russian comrades in this very thread. The were bemoaning the lack of fights - so I says rock up to Deklein with a super fleet and report back on how the "lack of content and no big fights" went....oddly they refused, muttering something about fozziesov....eve is kill or other such "we don't have the stones for that" cover excuses.

the only reason those battles occurred is because people stuffed up.

most of the times what happens is that one of the sides looks at the opponent, decides it's not worth the risk and punts the timer.

Is this a subliminal "Hire PL today!" pitch I see?

That was a pretty funny yet accurate analogy by Frosty though hah. For arguments sake, imagine this kid lives in government owned orphanage housing and only goes out with his Harry Potter invisibility cloak and Nimbus 2000. So when you go to respond he either A. disappears from sight or B. zips away at blazing speeds so nothing can really be done about it. You also can't really do anything about his current living situation because it's government property.

I'd rather ask why does he feel entitled to the whole building, or significant parts of it, when it's technically not his (belongs to CCP). The landlord lets you take as much rooms as you can use, and if the room is unoccupied, it's theirs for the taking.

Troll status confirmed. The only reason to being an evasion fit interceptor is to evade. All of this horseshit about it being against defenders who don't show up is ridiculous.

The point is that undefended sov should be easy to take. When a defender shows up though then conflict should be driven. Interceptors mean that players can assault sov with no intention of fighting and no intention of taking sov. It's dumb.

like i said - hire someone to stand in front of the door.
or create a roster for people in your household to stand in front of the door.

plenty of people are AFK cloaking in other people's systems to disrupt activities of carebears. you need to do the same in your own systems and trolling ceptors won't be a thing anymore.

or you could actually live in your systems, how's that for a novel idea?

1- The kids house can't really be camped because he lives in various refuge. Camping them all is meaningless since I can't effectively stop him just like camping interceptors is ineffective.

2- Hiring someone to stand in front of this door will make him ring / knock on the other door. Are you gonna pay guards for your house on every single doors? Remember, the guard can't beat up the kids since they can always buy new troll ship.

3- Punching him in the face is useless because the game created an environment where my punch force gets dampened into being irrelevant just like killing a troll ceptor hurt no one.

Do you see now what is stupid about this gameplay?

It's like banning trolls from a forum where creating new account require nothing beside a fake e-mail. Playing dodge-ball where the "time-out" for getting hit is 4 seconds and teams are about 50 each side. Playing hockey with steel plates in front of the nets.

Trolls are literally empowered in the name of "we don't want the link to alter possible doctrine" when you would never have to change your doctrine anyway because you don't need all your ships to be entosis fit.

So you have acknowledged that B-R5RB was an event that was by a mistake of an FC and also by the alliance not paying sov. Before that, all the battles were reasonable and the difference was not as high.
Large battles have been happened in eve for years. The difference is that before there was a lot less blues and a lot more drama. Not there is a lot more blue and a lot less drama.

Its very simple!
LESS Blues, more DRAMA, more FIGHTS!
MORE Blues, less DRAMA, less FIGHTS!

What drives eve is not CCP its PLAYER DRAMA. Thats the really explosive combustion!! PLAYER DRAMA.
The reality is that everyone is happy so stay at home and make isk and not engage in big fights. At MOA we are trying to change that We are trying to make you lose territory and brake up with gobly blob of blues thats hurting the game so much.



In a convensional world how do you fight a number thats over 50 times larger than you? You have to change the way you think and you got to provide tools to do it that are not present in the game, its the only way. The other way is another DRF. But with so many blues I doubt it will happen. Its the blue donut that is the desease and all the shady agreements that I wont fight you if you dont fight me...Or we will only kill ships, no structure shooting etc. Its all the bs that this blue donut brought.
I guarantee you if the gloves are for for real and its all in, you will look at your neighbour and say hmm, nice moon goo, i will take it.

The only feasible other way I think to really destroy the blob will be moon goo respawning in different regions of eve. This will signal the end of blues but you will be living like a nomad in null chasing the goo. That maybe too drastic ...I cant seriously see anyone fighting for anything if they got no chance of wining it specially with so many blobs. They will all have the same idea instead that you mentioned above. I will sti at home and make isk.
