Yes,

it's time to curbstomp AFK activities, inflation, botting and blitzing, and expose the revenue streams to PVP. Replace all NPC bounties with lootable tags, that can be sold to NPC buy orders. Same goes to LP, no automatic, ungankable payouts anymore anywhere in New Eden.

Combine this with rat AI revamp and the removal of L4s from hisec, and EVE economy is back on track again.

Have a nice weekend!

I'd rather have bounties and LP. Having to loot every wreck for tags in order to make an income is boring as ****.

Does make sense. I approve. AFKers bug me and make FW turn into a carebear fest...

Salvaging is about 400% more interesting than shooting rats.

People in wormholes already loot & salvage everything, and never complain- because having your income in a tangible form, exposed to hostiles actually adds interesting gameplay.

no they just put a bullet straight through the skull of easy-mode vanguard blitzing which drove away a lot of the dudes in it for the "easy" aspect

This post makes sense, you know how we are always trying to switch from wireless technologies to wired technologies with massive physical requirements?

Just the other day I was talking to my buddy Joe, and we changed his cell-phone out for a VOIP router and 1,600 ft of cable on a spool.


....

The CORRECT course of action would be to remove tags all together, and make LP a market commodity.

Now with 100% less Troll.

To kick start eve CCP would need to remove level4's from high sec and remove T2BPO, they will do neither because they are terrified of the initial unsubs that would cause so instead EVE online will die the slow way seeing a slow downfall of subscriptions each passing month.

No. A better idea is to shift the in-game currency to Rings of Jordan ... Or maybe it's better to leave the game alone for a while.

Drone regions didn't have bounties until just recently and it was still bots galore out there. How's your suggestion propose to handle all the jita station traders who make isk risk free?

There's no risk in trading? What?

You are correct, the bounty removal by itself (like any other single measure) is not enough to curb botting, and it's not likely that bots can ever be removed from computer games in general. But changes to rat AI along with the requirement to haul your "proof of kills" to the markets could help a bit.

I'd also like to see more alternatives to ratting-based income making in EVE.

As what comes to trading, I've lost billions on the markets, way more than in PVE ever.
