EVE General Discussion

I dont need wardecs to kill people in highsec

I lable you a whiner because you are one.

I disagree that there is no mechanic that allows people to avoid wardec's when there blatantly is. Being NPC allows you to avoid a wardec. I think many of us are caught up in a psychological barrier that makes us think being in a corp is the be all and end all to everything.

My previous post here contained a link to my thread that details the particulars for The NPC project. Yes we have to create our own communication network and community tools. In my opinion this is a small price to pay to have immunity from wardecs.

You might complain about the tax rate of being in an NPC corp, all I would say is compare that to your corps losses today which I believe was 500 million.

I know it is hard leaving a corp behind, the corp has been around for 13 years which I admire, It might be time for everyone to leave the corp and put an alt as CEO then put the corp on ice for a period of time while you and your buddies regroup into an NPC corp and gain a new perspective, by all means get your buddies to rejoin the corp once you have this new perspective and fight the good fight.

My proposal for The NPC Project could be interesting. There may be lots of CEO's among us who will later go on to leading corps and have other CEO's and their corps allied with them. So please try to look at this as a "regrouping" in a wrestling match which means you're just stepping out of the arena for a while and conferring with your friends and once you have a solid plan of action you're stepping back into the area and fighting. This is a great opportunity to network with others and work out a plan to fight the common fight.

Tough words from someone who is even afraid to join a corp.

I can't even remember now how many times we've seen the same thread.

-Person is so casual they generally don't even play EVE has a problem with something and runs to the forum DEMANDING changes.

-Doesn't even try to use the already existing game mechanics (npc corp + chat channel or move to someplace not near a trade hub, or get out of high sec, or fight back, or hire mercs etc. etc.) to alleviate his problem, no, it's STRAIGHT TO THE FORUMS he goes.

-Gets told by multiple people that he is doing it wrong, and he is wrong for wanting expansive changes to a game mechanic he could have countered himself in any number of whys.

-Starts huffing and puffing about how people are talking to him like he is stupid (while steadfastly refusing to understand that the stupid way he's done things here is the catalyst for the response he is getting).

-Bonus: Enter the "White Knights of Co-Dependent Weakness" who always show up anytime anyone (but especially anyone in CODE or GOONs or any null sec alliance) explains to anyone else that they are grown ass people who should be ashamed of the fact that they let a video game make them cry.

It's like they said in Battlestar Galactica. This has all happened before, and it will happen again.

Thank you for proving my point. I should have added:

-When people demonstrate to him what he is saying is stupid, he will suddenly describe what he is doing as a "play style" and accuse everyone else of not liking his "play style", even though most of the people replying to him don't even play the game the same way as everyone else does. He won't be able to grap the idea that he' is is own problem and that "whining on the forums about something he already has the tools to overcome" is not a "play style".

And

-Will then act all mystified at the response he's getting because he can't understand that people have done the same kind of begging and crying he's doing for as much as 14 years.

Well keep on drinking the vitriol. I´ll put you down as a not interested in any changes to the war dec mechanic. Thanks for your delightful and insightful views on this topic.

If people are still going on about after 14 years maybe something should be done to improve the system. Or not. But if people have carried on doing that for 14 years, then you really should prepare yourself for the fact that they will keep on doing it for the lifetime of the game. And since this issue appears to trigger you, you might be best recommended to avoid the issue altogether and engage in something productive beyond casting aspersions and throwing insults at other players who have done nothing to you.

Good day to you sir.

Does that include AFK mining and Auto-piloting?

Man, they were really scraping the bottom of the barrel when they picked you.


And if you believe that you're an even bigger fool than what you sound like.

Another option too is that you can leave highsec. Most people who wardec generally won't come too far from trade hubs and rarely (if ever) leave highsec. Once you are free of highsec you can laugh at wardeccers as they waste their money.

New players (< 15 days) killed illegally (ganked) or legally (war dec, duel) stay longer than those who are not killed at all.

About 1% of new players (<15 days) are ganked. 14% are killed legally, 85% are not killed at all in their first 15 days.
