EVE General Discussion

I'm a carebear, I hug hisec like a child hugs their favourite toy. I personally don't want the PVP dynamic of Eve to change, Space is a cold dark harsh enviroment, it's not civilised and the little law enforcement that we have is designed to punish not protect, this is a good thing btw it adds risk.

I see lots of threads whining about hulkageddon, burning tradehubs, ninja salvagers, scammers etc, these are legitimate gameplay options as far as I'm concerned.

Eve is harsh, the gameplay options that people are whining about have been in the game for it's entire life, they make Eve what it is, they make Eve different from pretty much any other title out there. Nobody, other than CCP, would have the bottle to let us do what we do in Eve, or would have even thought to provide the frameworks that let us choose from the whole spectrum of "evil" empires in null to corps dedicated to helping out noobs, sometimes they are one and the same.

Anybody in Eve can rise to the top of the food chain, but you can't do it alone, you need the support of people who are involved in all aspects of Eve, some charisma and good planning will take you far as well

To those that are doom mongering about Eve and gameplay that they don't like, please kindly shut up and take your whining elsewhere, you make those of us that adapt and deal with it look bad, you also feed the trolls (please don't do this, some of them are fat enough already )

Eve has worked fine as it is for the last 9 years, the PVP dynamic doesn't need to change, if it did change so that hisec became safer I dare say a lot of players would actually leave to be replaced by the instant gratification crowd that leave after a couple of month because Eve=Effort.

Eve has a reputation for being a merciless environment, it's reputed to be a hardcore MMO and yes the learning curve is steep. These are what keeps the oiks out, the game itself filters out those that are unworthy .

TL;DR

Stop whining, start doing or GTFO

True enough it applies to everybody

Over 75% of players live in HS -and I class all HS (risk-adverse) dwellers carebears- plus there are the null-bears. So lets say 80-85% of all players are carebears. Therefore, Eve will not exist without them. Simples

Greetings capsuleer,

I applaud the gusto and verve with which you approach matters. There is definite flair and panache; especially with such a succinct delivery - almost as if you truly believed it.

The reality is however that 75% of handled do not live in CONCORD patrolled areas of New Eden as you said. I believe the accurate figure was around 70% of capsuleers living under the wing of CONCORD. Capsuleers.

There is a difference. A slight one, perhaps. A bit one, maybe. But taking anything but capsuleer numbers from what CCP has released is futile.

Regards,

Shian Yang

I, too, enjoy carebearing dangerously and losing ships hilariously in gate camps.

If i dont see a HTFU thread on this forum at least one a day i cant sleep at night

I'm jumping on the anti hulkageddon band wagon. Im a suicide ganker myself, but i dont indiscriminately gank targets. I feel the consequences for suicide ganking needs to increase significantly. CCP intended suicide ganking to be a means of making isk, not tears and cancelled subs.

Now days I seem to see PVPers whine just as much as the carebears, mostly it's about stupid things too on both sides. Though I seem to question the carebears who whine about mechanics a lot more. I also question them if they truely are a carebear or someone trolling because sometimes they just seem too stupid to have lasted as long in the game as they did to try to form some of their aguments, why X should be changed and how it stop CCP losing subscribers etc.

You lie. EVE is dying (yet again). contract me your stuffz. I'll take good care of them.

I have a lot of time for you, Sir. Excellent response. The substance of your text is written very much in the same way as my brother would have responded to one of my posts. And I miss him dearly.
