EVE General Discussion

So I feel as if CCP has limited the idea of this game being a "sandbox"

why?

well in theory and in practice, I suicide gank people: person dies, he makes his kill rights agasint me available to the entire eve universe. now with the sandbox idea, you have told me that I can be anything i want in game so long as what I do is not a violation of any of the terms of service conditions and policies, well I have chosen to be a jita suice ganker i.e professional pirate usiny my rupture to shoot defenseless indy pilots. with the new killright option he sells his and again making me available to shooty freely at the simple press of a button.

now with this option, you now have spawned a new database of players who sit outside major tradehubs such as amarr, jita, ren, dodixie, etc, behind or in front of the station setting up an overview setting which allows them to see people who can recieve the suspect timer at the click of a button, thus limiting my sandbox right of being a pirate ganker in highsec which I remind you is not against any of your policies as I do it for profit . what is the trade off here? there is none, the new system cuts into what I want to do now and now sort of say, forces me into a new career; however after the 30 day kilright timer is up.

recently CCP has made an official decision regarding the "site blocking" issue with incursion, the relation between that and suicide ganking is that , people go to a specific place to make isk, to continually delve into this sandbox idea which CCP has created. with my, my place of choice was major tradehub, incursion runner was a site within an incursion staging area. . instead of telling incursion runners that "hey, you have no right to complain there are plenty of highsec incursions to go to and to run sites" , you told them, yes your carreer as an incursion runner is being affected we will now make it a violation to site block incursion. the same concept should be applied to my suicide ganking carrer, i am now hindered from ganking because now there are dozens of players outside hubs who purposely activate my suspect timer. the problem with my end, is that I cant just pick up and leave, go to a new region etc, the killright activation follows me everywhere for a month. it is basically like i am at war with eve. except i cant fight back.

im not really trying to argue that its unfair im just trying to argue that the new systems takes away from the whole sandbox idea.

You are confusing "you can do anything you want that doesn't violate the TOS" with "you can do anything you want without repercussions that doesn't violate the TOS".

Interestingly enough, if CCP weren't so hell bent on tying the hands of suicide gankers, people blocking incursion sites wouldn't be a problem.

Actually, as it stands now it shouldn't be a problem. It's just that carebears apparently can't be expected to solve their own problems.

My crystal ball tells me that someone activated a killright on you recently.... leading me to say that ganker tears can in fact be some of the sweetest of all.

Seems like the carebears did solve their own problem, they hired someone to handle you.

Eve is not your sandbox, it is everyone's sandbox. Your actions have consequences.

Killrights are laughably easy to lose. Do you even PVP? You know, in a regular sense? Or just bait someone into blowing up your noobship. Bumping Cynabals and Tornados in Hek works for me. Just be annoying as **** and some idiot WILL activate your killright. Consider it a form of fraud if you will. Controlled loss. Collateral damage. Easy as pie. What do you care what a killboard says? Your wallet doesn't care.
