The ultimate point is that CCP is trying to do something for HISEC PLAYERS. It will take time, effort, and some trial and error.

Sticking your finger in their eye every time they try to tweak the system because of some inane tinfoil conspiracy and unnecessary concern over a non-existent impact on a particular nullsec alliance is the height of self-indulgent and negligent stupidity.

Harming hisec players to try to get at goonswarm, especially with something that actually in no way affects goonswarm, is beyond farce.

CCP please do not cave in to goons on Inferno 1.1 however we would like you to fix the game but not if what the goons are calling for is the actual fix

love

seriously it's very honestly a kneejerk reaction now. "oh dear goons are calling for x, we must call for y!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

if you guys stop being ******* idiots and actually think for a moment, you'll realise that we're right HEH

... which is pretty much exactly what I said. I'm glad we agree.


What we disagree over is that the 1.1 change is in any way shape or form a positive progression on 1.0.

These changes are a good first step, but there still needs to be iteration. As has been already pointed out there will be more tools inbound for tracking the record of and hiring of merc corps. These are necessary, as well as "victory conditions" as I (and then subsequently you) have already pointed out... but you have to start somewhere.


You do, but not by completely nerfing the defender's ability to defend in wars against a much larger opponent with any kind of financial equivilence. This change should really have gone back for internal review until such time they found a way to properly iterate on the wardec system because as it stands it does nothing for the merc industry, and everything to the advantage of large alliances wishing to involve themselves in consequence-free wardecs.

Ranger 1 wrote:
Empowering the "privateers" of the EVE universe is not it... although the foolish will undoubtedly hire free rubish to fight for them. A culture needs to develop in the merc market where "you get what you pay for", but that isn't going to happen overnight. The groundwork needs to be laid first and be in effect for a while to become established.


Well but the 1.1 patches lays no groundwork whatsoever, it simply rips up the foundation of 1.0 and hides the consequence of this behind a spurious "eve isn't fair" figleaf without answering any of the questions the player base has raised.

Ranger 1 wrote:
I understand that it steals a bit of your thunder, your move was actually very well executed under the original set of revisions (it was the smartest thing you could have done, all things considered). But it also served to very clearly point out to CCP that the EVE player base was indeed smart enough to take advantage and twist the system to suit their own needs, and that it would be necessary to take at least some of the additional steps they had already been considering.


Well there is a lot of discussion over whether this actually had anything to do with my "move" or not. Personally I think it is more likely to have been in reaction to the Honda Accord/Goomwarm/Test wardec thing that happened 3 weeks before. But really now, is Eve becoming a game where if the player base discovers ways to find methods of gaming systems effectively those methods should be removed? - I thought we were living in an emergent gaming sandbox where finding ways to bring Jita to a standstill with organized tornado/thrasher gankfieets are the order of the day.

This is the essential issue really that makes people wonder where the motivation for these changes came from.

It does look like its one law for the large 0.0 alliances and one law for everyone else.

If the Goons are calling for an end to dogpiling on wardecs, it's the same thing I've been saying SINCE BEFORE INFERNO WAS LAUNCHED. Unlimited free allies = bad for warfare.

Force defenders to be selective in their allies. It's not an unreasonable thing.

edit: I'm also opposed to the mechanic where massive alliances can wardec 2-man corps for cheap, but not the other way around. The war should cost the same regardless of which is the aggressor.

It's amazing how many times jade has been laughed at over his accusation that any 0.0 alliance would care about wardecs, and npc freighters explained to him, yet it's made no impression whatsoever.

my favorite part was when he stated it was obvious goonswarm leadership was actually terrified of his hilariously dumb plan and as a member of goonswarm leadership i was of course extremely interested in what i was afraid of, and because of that he knows we batphoned ccp

jade's response was "well clearly you're afraid because you batphoned ccp"

he couldn't even come up with a vaugely plausible reason why we would care, just "well you must have batphoned because it was hurting you, i know it was hurting you because you batphoned"

Funny thing is its only really been 0.0 alliance pilots who have been doing "the laughing" (but nobody really believes them).

All we have to judge the reality of the situation is that tomorrow the mechanic is being nerfed into oblivion and 0.0 will not have to worry about it ever again.

So who was calling for an end to dogpiling on large alliance wardecs really ?

you were actually given a direct answer to this question repeatedly and ignored it because it didn't fit into your narrative

i would post it again but we all know what trying the same thing and expecting different results is

actually what the rest of us have to judge the situation with is logic facts and reasoning

not "well you must have batphoned because it was hurting you, i know it was hurting you because you batphoned" I GUESS WE'LL NEVER KNOW

the fact you can't come up with even a vaugely plausible reason makes it clear your argument is nonsense to anyone armed with logic facts and reasoning

Well the only people prepared to admit in public they wanted the 1.1 changes would appear to be BFF people on the wardec team. (well and Keldun of Eve Univsersity) I suggest you listen to the Crossing Zebra's podcast (ep six) to get a view of what the rest of the CSM thought of this specific 1.1 change.

I guess this is why you shouldn`t write out walls of ridiculously tinfoil sperg in the first place, because then you have to defend it to the point of blatant inanity...

Oh wait, you don`t. You actual look dumber continuing to argue than just admitting you went a little spergo and made a mistake.
