EVE General Discussion

Either people will get tired of it, move on and this entire fad will die out like so many other, or people take a stand and start to collectively kick the Goons ass when it starts to shake up the market too badly. Either way it won't last forever. Posting on the forums about it certainly won't make it go away, though.

Then you are wrong in every way possible. They could make it impossible if they wanted to, yet they don't, despite the fact that they HAVE made changes to both ganking methods and CONCORD. Why do you think that is? They clearly know about ganking and know about how it works, yet despite their changes, it's still a very valid thing, and we've just had two large player-sanctioned events dedicated solely to it.

Really, ask yourself why they haven't changed it, and from there decide if the game is for you or not. Trying to convince yourself that CCP totally doesn't want ganking but just doesn't seem to know quite what to do (hint: they're nowhere near that clueless or incompetent) is just a delusion that's going to do nothing good for you.




See? This guy gets it! The solution is "DO SOMETHING". Mine in a less attractive ship. Find quieter systems. Try lowsec and actually organize your own defense, or join a null corp and see what that's like. Hell, get some friends, get into a combat ship and fly out to Deklien or whatever to extract revenge! Literally ANYTHING is better than coming on the forums and crying that Eve isn't meeting all of your needs to the letter.

What happens when the world runs of douches that will subscribe ? Eve will get stale even for them and die.

Start watching eve trailers from the very first one, i DOUBT ccp could predict that people would behave like this if they were given power when they released the game. You know, the more eve trailers i watch the more i realize that they are misleading to what actually happens. Why are they misleading ? Because of people like goons. Hellbent on making everyone's eve day miserable.

They haven't changed it because the voice of changing it hasn't been as big as the people saying its great. The events have never been too long or too destructive, but now you will get more people speaking up about suicide ganking which inevitably forces CCP to take a look at that mechanic because it is causing issues.

And if they decide to "fix" suicide ganking, the hi sec dwellers will have the leaders of these events to thank for it.

What happens when one of the voices in support of ganking is CCP themselves? Like, imagine if something crazy like a senior producer of Eve describing Burn Jita as "f---ing brilliant" happened. That sort of pushes the removal of ganking beyond a simple balance issue, wouldn't you say?

1. Screenshot please.

2. CCP have stated many times that EVE was designed to be a harsh place. There is very little 'Intended gamplay mechanics' put in place by them. As by design. Players are encouraged to create their own stories. All you really want is another scripted game.

How would PvE disrupt PvP? Having NPC take player-owned space in null-sec? Having NPC fleets warp in and mess with PvP fleets jumping around? Well, the former might give Goonswarm something to do (because who knows why they can't split up and fight each other all day), but the latter would be an inconvenience.

Then again, EVE's not meant to be convenient.

There is almost no activity in this game that isn't considered a form of PvP, whether it's direct or by proxy.



I'd love to discuss this with you in person. Over coffee?

Really, do you not understand what i said.

That event happened, it was a limited duration thing, anyone is happy enough to do something like that just for kicks once in a while. Nobody really complained because its a one time thing that was "cool".

Now we're talking about something that is going on way too long than it should, and more and more people are speaking up against it. It's such a big deal that the people funding it are responding to these forums in defense of it.

If CCP says its something that won't be "fixed" then too bad for the people being ganked. But the people speaking up about it have every right to speak up and have every right to be able to enjoy the game how they like.
