What they want: 100% safe "on rails" experience, with optional PvP (see: WoW, SWTOR, etc as examples of this type of gameplay).

Why it will kill EVE: Because once you put things "on rails", you kill the sandbox. The sandbox is the main reason that I (and many other people) came to this game.

Sure, "sandbox" means you can play however you want ... and mining "in safety" can be done. You just have to realize that everyone else logged in can ALSO play however they want.

Eve is a pvp game, it doesnt do the economy any good having half the population sitting about running missions and never being blown up in years of playing.

"The whiny carebear that wants to destroy EVE" is the second biggest myth ever, right after Bigfoot. I've never seen one on these forums. What I do see, however, is a lot douchebaggy "PvPers" who wants to ruin EVE by idiotic ideas such as removal of local and High-sec areas.

The hate, in my eyes, is unwarranted and most often down right hypocritical.

Am I completely off the mark?



Don't generalise null sec mentality, but indeed some "all-day-nothing-to-do" nerds+a few no brains stated you are bad at this game if you're in high sec.

Nothing wrong, in every game you have this kind of mentality, just ignore them and do what you have to do.

Because the PVPers somehow think they have the right to tell other people how to play a sandbox game. Notice that it's only PVPers bitching and that the carebears actually very rarely complain about anything (unless they got ganked in hi-sec).

More so I think the majority of these 'PVPers' that complain found out that they are worthless in any major battle and just want some easy targets in low-sec so they can at least kill something. But one does not simply kill a miner alone in hi-sec so they whine and ***** here :D.

As for the Goons trying to mess with hi-sec, it's just in their interest to kill as many Hulks as possible because they earn massive amounts of money for each one that gets replaced. It's business, nothing more.

I take your point about putting the game "on rails", but if CCP could get a giant chunk of cash by allowing Hi-sec to go "themepark" would that be too much of an intrusion into the sandbox nature of the game? After all Hi-Sec is a very small part of the EVE universe.

As a response to part 2 of your question look at these forums and count the number of high sec residents screaming bloody murder that they should be 100% safe in high sec, lobbying CCP for a 100% safe high sec, and making ludicrous claims about other players violating the EULA.

It's not hate. It's the school bully who steals your lunch money because he can and noone in authority will do anything about it. That is what is going on here.

If I read this topic right the general hatred against anyone who admits they are from hi-sec on these forums is because of a vocal minorty that is also from hi-sec?
That is pretty ******.

It's not
It's not
It's not

The problem comes when they want to do those things while intervening in the market (selling their stuff) but without being able to have their activities interrupted. Then they whine that their activities are being interrupted.

The suggestion that people come out to Null comes out of an (at least partially-) honest impulse to show of the kind of fun we have.

But then they yelled at us for suggesting it, so we started shooting them.

Because they're an easy target. Most don't know how to defend themselves, or even that they CAN. They wouldn't know pvp if it hit them in the ass. Or WHEN it hits them in the ass.

Now, I live in highsec. I mine, I run missions, I trade, I manufacture. I also operate in lowsec and nullsec occasionally, and would leap into a wormhole if I could get out again reliably.
I spend most of my time in highsec because, frankly, it's an easy source of isk. However, I am not a carebear. I know the basics of pvp, and fitting. I tank my hulk. I tank my orca. I tank everything I fly that will take a tank and is worth bothering to tank. If I'm mining, I check dscan every so often, and watch local and my overview. I don't do anything totally afk. I may not be fully paying attention sometimes, but I'm not afk. I might be watching tv, or chatting on irc, or even making myself an omelette, but I keep an eye on things.

And it's an encouraged behaviour by the game mechanics in high sec. But seems Icelandic dictionary can't make the difference in between grieffing/bullying already so, we have to deal wiz it.

If people want to mine. Sure, go ahead.
If people do trades in hisec. Sure, no problem, heck, i've even done it (and would probably still doing it) myself.
No problem whatsoever for people who's doing missions. Go ahead.

The problem surfaces when people starts to whine on the forums, demanding that they should be able to do those things without any consequences whatsoever. Sure, people can go mine somewhere in hisec, but when people came and start shooting at them, can they get mad and butthurt over the loss? sure, but the instant they whine somewhere on the public forums, demanding that "this is my sandbox, i can do anything i want and you can't play with mine!" that; becomes a problem.

Yes. CCP would have to spend countless hours on more and more PvE content ... and the "sandbox" side would suffer for it.

If you want to see what EvE would be like with a "no PVP" zone, check out Sisi.

No, its just that if you are not part of that vocal minority who want things that will ruin the game, you are not someone we would define as a highseccer.

Some of my best friends live in highsec Lol

You are a carebear then, sorry. You are the GOOD kind of carebear tho, not the kind all the hate is aimed at. We want all the whiners to learn from people like you.

If mining and missioning in hi sec aren't problems to these sociopaths, then why the incessant call to arms from the "hardcore PVPer" community to attack and kill them? Why the constant belligerence and belittling against them? Why the unfounded and deliberate accusations that carebears are greedy and stupid? Why the constant whining and crying about moving missions and anything remotely fun to them into lo/null sec? Why the constant whining that carebears should be kicked out of NPC corps and hi sec altogether?
