Obvious troll is obvious. 0/10.

This proposal will go far.

Hiya

So i was sat with 7 other eve players in our local pub n we were discussing ideas to get new players into eve. We found that most of our friends had quit because

1. Any corp under a month old they joined got war decced
2. Newbie corp tax way to high
3. Lack of real interest from the community in new players.

So we got to thinking and ended up back at my house and decided to put some real thought into the idea of portecting new players WITHOUT comprimising the game. So here is our idea outlined in detail below.

When player A starts the game, he/she has a very confusing time for the first week. But after that he/she becomes more confident. They perhaps decide to start a PvE based corp with a PvP undertone or perhaps watch youtube videos and decide to go for full scale PvP.

But after 3 days of starting said corp, bam, griefer war dec comes in. 10 pilots (all alts) flying T3 cruisers, his 5 new recruits and himself could not possibly match up to that with there skills, so they give it a shot anyway, fail and player A decides, why bother?

Player A then shuts his corp down, is angry at the game and quits. The worrying thing is, that corp, that single idea has been shattered, we know that EvE is not real but the player is demorilized and suddenly realises how far he has to go and decides that if he can't run his own corp to recruit players who have simliar play styles to him/times etc, what's the point? So he quits.

Player A, given a month could have made a huge impact on the game, we don't know. He was never given the chance.

So here is what we propose

If a player is under 2 months old and creates a corp, that corp should be given a months protection from war decs. You can call the said protection what ever it is you like. But, if would give ground and time to new corps to grow, a month period were they could in effect, choose a path and go for it. Call it, say, Concord Paid protection (could even cost players ISk).

But with this comes conditions. If this player wants to use this system (and yes it would be optional for the ceo to *tick* the box) he/she would have to recruit at least two players per week. If no one joined the corp after say 1 week the protection was automatically lifted by concord.

We personally think this could in effect give a drive to the game and allow players to make there own corps, grow, skill and run as a team. It would also bring in new players and could potentially from the butterfly effect bring a whole new breed of corps heading out to 0.0 to join alliances.

It is easy to dismiss this idea as *newbie love* but that is not it. It's about potentially sorting new players into the game, giving them that drive to make a corp with friends who join with them and have a months period to play the game for what it is.

Ofc this idea would only be avalible to players ONCE, so they couldnt just leave the corp after 29 days n start again, they would only have this option once, on any account, so no alt pee taking etc.

Anyway, we think this could be a good idea and could lead to a good drive in new players for eve.

Sure...right after your permabanned.

I answer with stupid/riduclous requests with an equally stupid riduclous request.



If you want something that outragious...then i expect an equal payment in likewise for my/our support.


Forcing people to play the game your way will never work here....if your going to do that...I demand to have you forcefully removed from the game as a fair price tag.

Permantely.

Don't like it? Then don't make stupid requests.

Do you mind enlighten me why is it that?

For a noob corp or an industrial corp that is wardect by some griefers isn't empire turned to at least 0.4/0.0? Why not turn it for everyboddy to low sec or 0.0 and only for the wardeced corp?

"Q: How long will wars last?
A: As long as the aggressor pays every week and no one surrenders (or no surrender offer is accepted), then a war can last forever."

There is no argument.

Eve has a wide variety of play styles. Many many people enjoy the relative safety of highsec. I myself often use my alt to make ISK in highsec to fund my nullsec antics (he runs a small corp filled with new players that has rarely had problems with war). You will have thousands of non-pvping players and many of the pvping players unsubscribing almost instantly. The relative safety afforded in highsec is where 90% (estimated) of T1 production occurs. If you think prices for ships is high now, just imagine what it would be like with no safe place for miners.

Just imagine Jita for a moment. It would be bloody horrible chaos. War decs don't even come into it, they are such a small part of Eve compared to the vastness of high security space. New players would die instantly on undocking, or best case scenario at the exit stargate. Some players will never ever PvP, and you will take that choice from them. They wont want to play anymore, and its those carebears that fuel most of the economy, and provide the ships for us to blow each other up in. If I wrote out everything that was wrong with your suggestion, it would take me days to write it all out.

I can't believe you couldn't think of these things yourself.

It is beyond my ability to even imagine how another human being, intelligent enough to type, can think this is a good idea.
