EVE has moved on and no one wants to go back to copying hundreds of bookmarks before ever roam.


yup, buying region bookmarks was very good for the folks selling them, not so much for everyone else, all this would mean is that people would just do what they do now which is BM everything in nullsec and then warp to zero anyway, and the same would happen in highsec, might take longer but that would be the result and you would be back to square 1

They will not get rid of warp to zero for the basic fact people would go and make "Instas" again which in turn will ruin server performance. That was the reason why warp to zero was added to the game in the first place. Server lag was so bad when people were copying them to either sell or give to corpmates.

Man why is it ppl in this game always want CCP to DOWNGRADE the game?

Apart from being a brilliant idea to farm "likes" this thread is great. Cool

I still remember the mind-numbing boredom and frustration of copying "highsec-fastlane" bookmarks and their 0.0 pendants.
Best day ever, when I deleted the hundreds of gate and station-docking BMs.

Getting rid of this "feature" was the single best idea CCP EVER had.
Though I´m sure they fought tooth and nails against getting rid of this "player-griefing". But had to give in mainly because they were killing the server with it.

As for your warp bubble idea. It´s crap and useless. We have warp bubbles for a reason and gate-camping already is ridiculously easy and slanted towards the attacker/suicide-ganker in high-sec. The last thing they need is an easier life.

Actually none of your points in the "NO" post are valid. I still remember the mind-numbing boredom and frustration of copying "highsec-fastlane" bookmarks and their 0.0 pendants.

I love new players who know no history.
There was a reason this got removed in the first place. People going through low sec etc basically had ZERO chance of survival, its was campers heaven. You know why dont know go on the other side of the gate like us proper pirates do, use fast locking setups and blast away. Honestly its not hard to do!

Plus the amount of bookmarks you had to set up was stupidly high and causing issues to the server load...so NO never... learn to pvp/camp properly instead of wanting easy kills.

Im sure some industrialists would ragequit over this. Theres other solutions to this like introducing new bubble technology that you can tune to a specific persons or corp/alliance ship so it only affects them and not others.

I vote no. I'm still new to this game, and I hate this idea simply because it would make doing day-to-day things take so much longer. I have a job, and a life, and I don't want to have to spend an hour making 10 jumps.

We've already forgotten what traveling was like before WTZ? What the heck!? The bookmarking was a nightmare! I would never want to return to that!

This is an extremely stupid idea. This was the way it was when Eve first came out and it was f*ckin annoying. Everyone had to have a million bookmarks. Travelling between location already takes long enough.... why would you think making it take longer and be more annoying would be a good idea?

This suggestion is like saying.... why dont we bring back the ship change timer because its more realistic....

THEY GOT RID OF THIS FOR A REASON!

Yeah, before titans, jump bridges and capital ship jumping in general.

Otherwise EVERYBODY but the bloodiest noob was using BMs. There actually NEVER was a time people didn´t jump to zero(except on Autopilot).

That´s the real reason this idea is so ludicrous. It isn´t turning time back but taking the clock and throwing it infront of the train.

I want to like the first post, to get rid of them, but I know I will just do what I did back then; get a bookmark for every single gate anyway. I don't mind that workload, and it probably will score me more kills, but I can't help but think how this will affect the performance of the game if everyone and their mother is getting gazillions of more bookmarks to handle again.

Interesting LIKE farming method you have there:

1) Propose a debate on a hot topic, example: AFK cloaking
2)Post as options one post people has to like IN FAVOR (need to be pretty generic) and one post (with same alt) for people like in DISFAVOR (try to be fluffy to further disguise it)
3) ?????? (wait for it)
4) PROFIT! (insta like farming!)


Addenda: Topics to include

-Goons
-Northern part of the map alliances
-Carebears
-Suicide Ganking
-Pirates
-Lo Sec
-FW
-Hybrids
-Lasers
-Winmatar
-Gallente (lol)
-Calamari
-Amarr versus the world
-Plex Farming
-Minerals I mine are free
-Lone wolves
-Hello Kitty Online
-Incarna
-Bounty System
-Jita
-CSM
- Emo Rage over asset loss (unfair to me)
-Your playstyle is not my playstyle (or force me to it)
-I want to PVE all day
-QQ
-Concordokken.
-Null
And on and on ...

Do this and get a lot of likes, remember to reserve at least 2 spots in your thread, for extra MAX FARMING introduce a third option for people that feel neither in favor or disfavor of said topic.

For truly revolutionary topics that will incense people make a mix and match of 3 or more topics, like

*Gallente Faction War Carebears,

*Minerals I mine are free on Jita and Calamari Suicide Gankers make me Emo Rage over asset loss

*Pirates in Faction War is like Hello Kitty Online due to the Bounty System and we can blame the CSM for it.

*I want to PVE all day in LO SECbut I QQ since you force me play in a way I dont want, because Winmatar.

Take your picks and farm. Ty.

I also like pie.

Just so we are clear. You want to make traveling through space take longer. Idiot.
