EVE General Discussion

So a site that shall remain unnamed due to its title, just posted an article on "The Case for Removing Learning Implants"

The best quote from this article was, "Empire players tend to have a huge advantage in this regard - they can do virtually everything with a full +5s and hardwirings since pods can warp out almost instantly in the event that they lose a ship, and NPCs never shoot pods in any case. Players in nullsec generally find themselves with implants that speed up the skills they may be training at that time and inexpensive hardwirings, simply because losing a pod is nearly inevitable after losing a ship when bubbled."

So in reality the whole thread was another "Make Null even safer" thread.

Being that you can still get ganked in Hi-sec and podded, hi sec dwellers still have the ability to have their implants destroyed. The null sec residence how ever has chosen a more PvP based life style with the risks attached.

Removing implants would just be a step in dumbing down EvE and making the Nullbears less risk exposed.
They go on and on about how easy Hi-sec is while fighting to have Null made even safer.

So all in all don't bother reading it, its just more covert Null tears.

NPCs should pod.

Personally I would just like them to be smarter than they are.

The whole "This guy is tanking our damage, so we will just ignore the rest of the people shooting us" is a bit daft.

Maybe you should try some sleeper sites.

I think the reason for it is, that even NPCs find the normal PvE boring in this game, so they have resorted to botting it.

That's horseshit from start to finish.

well the thing is
CCP is trying to split the gamer population.. giving it a more defined definition.
High sec : Safe zone for the anti-social and timid nerds
Low sec : Low life that gets bullied in school and now is trying to make up for it, and incursion runners too.
Null sec : For the gladiators and intellectuals of the society , trying to make a name for themselves by exploring the riches of the unknown.

So... EVEN if people buys your argument, the very aim of it alone would make the chances of it actually being implemented VERY slim

Article isn't on EVENEWS24.

Regardless, the amount of time I've said or corpies or others have said 'cant go null sec cause of implants...' true its not always learning implants 50% of the time its pirate implants. So yes getting rid of learning implants would be great, especially for all the new players and the benefit of improved training times they would receive I'm sure would go down well. If anything removing learning implants would make the gap between old and new players even smaller due to the reduced training times for new players. So overall I think it would be a good idea to certainly consider.

But to defend EveNews24 for writing this article, what about sec loss of shooting pods? Seems to high to do that and still gain entry to hi sec for more pod shooting.

I agree completely the article was horseshit from start to finish.

The Null bears really should stop calling hi-sec dwellers risk adverse when they are more risk adverse than the Null sec dwellers.
