EVE General Discussion

No, the problem is you do not understand how risk works in the game. Risk is a function of player action. That is, any risk you face is due to your actions. If you do something foolish or imprudent your risk goes up. That you obtain the bad state associated with that risk is due to other players taking advantage of your imprudence. The game was designed this way on purpose.

You can "put down" anything you like, but it doesn't change the fact of what you are doing here. I honestly don't give a flip about what CCP does with war decs or anything to do with that massive cesspit called high sec. I simply find it annoying that grown people have such a hard time with simple things. I haven't failed to notice how the majority of people who whine and can't do anything for themselves also call high security space home in this game.



People have been complain about a lot for the last 14 years while also proclaiming that EVE is dying (and the only way to save it is of course to change the game in a way that oddly and suspiciously enough aligns with their specific complaints about the game). People being to weak and mentally soft to figure out their problems isn't a CCP issue, it's a personal one.

Which brings me to the point of why I highlighted your words above. CCP DID do something about war decs, several times actually. You want to know the result?

The result is the current status quo ie its the same as it always was (making CCPs efforts to change war decs in the pass turn out to be wasted time, money and DEV work). You want to know why that is? It's because of the Constant, the common denominator that ALWAYS thwarts changes CCP or any other group of developers make.

Humans.

No matter what you do, humans are going to find a way to do what they want. No in game mechanic change is going to stop people from finding a way to screw with hapeless folk like you Percy. Because no mechanic change is going to make you realize that the problem isn't the game, it's you (or more specifically, it's the flaws in the way you think about things that is n open invitation to the kinds of people who war dec to come in and make you upset).

So while you go on and on about the mechanics, those of us who know what's really going on will keep telling you that you are wrong, you have the tools to win out against these people, folks do it all the time which is why you will notice that sometimes war deccers are frustrated by lack of targets. Those people who frustrate them have the proper mentality to thumb their noses at the deccers and keep playing their game they want....

....And all without typing one word on this forum or any other.

I especially like how you always rush in your alts to like your own posts if you feel threatened. Did it hurt so much to hear the truth?

They rarely bother destroying things that aren't semi afk, badly tanked and overloaded. All of which are the real contributors to the ratio.

If you go even further, you have to wonder why one freighter is carrying a random load of goods one way through the choke, and more or less the same load is going the other way in another one. ie people keep freighting things that don't change value when they do, which is pure risk with no reward.

When I use my freighter it very rarely goes through a choke, and if it does, it purely has a low value bulk load of the thing that _can't_ be got regionally for a reasonable price. It doesn't have expensive blueprints, piles of salvage or other things that easily fit into a cloak warper.



Set the dec corp to -10, go run combat exploration for a week in a region you've never lived in before. You can do that with a weeks training in cruisers. Exploration naturally leads you to local chats with few people in them even in highsec (so the deccers stand out), and moving around perpetually invalidates locations from agents - and moving around through lowpop regions tells you when a neutral is tracking you too. A t1 cruiser is perfectly acceptable for highsec exploration, and honestly, you are that poor you can't afford to lose a 30m fitted cruiser ?



Except that you can wait around afk cloaked all day in the systems that the deccers use because they are also predictable, and after a while, YOU become annoying. You'll constrain actions against other decs that they are running simaltaneously, and you may spot an opportunity to engage. ie you can be background annoying the exact way the dec is background annoying to you.



How does one get experience ?



it is a massively multiplayer pvp game. You _have_ to acknowledge the existence of others in your sandbox. The whole value structure of the things you do in highsec, particularly the things you buy that you can't cause to drop yourself is set by the pvp nature of the game.

I just think it is quite pathetic to like your own posts because you think that reinforces your weak point. Don't bother to lie about it it's quite obvious. Not sure why you think this has something to do with meta-gaming.

What's pathetic is you actually believe what you're saying.

This is not WOW, EVE does not have PvE and PvP regions, it is a competitive multiplayer sandbox. The only difference in the regions are the game mechanics and the attack surface you have because of them for other players which is also known as the "risk" which is then used to balance resources and mission rewards in said regions.

0.0 -> -1.0 : Nullsec/Wspace: no NPC interference in player combat
04 -> 0.1: Lowsec: direct NPC interference from gate guns and stations. non-consensual combat leads to security status loss
1.0 -> 0.5 : Highsec: complecated PvP mechanics involving multiple different NPC instances to react based on non-consensual combat, security status or faction standing. Wardec mechanics to allow for conflict without NPC interaction between player coorporations and alliances.

You can also see very clearly from the above list why Higshec combat and especially the brave people who kill others in the face of CONCORD is considered elite PvP. I mean seriously, it's like PvP in those other places is on easy mode if you look at it this way.

So you had it completely backwards. Actually nullsec is the PvP beginner area and Highsec is where the elite PvP content is.

OMG dude I wasn't going to say anything, but I noticed that too. How freaking pathetic is that?

Pretty pathetic for sure. But at least he is consistent, lol

Yeah, I passed some gas.
