I really like your profile comment there. Needless to say, I think we should stay on topic... OK everybody?

Stay on topic? I couldn't even read that wall of text. Is that a model castle built out of letters?

max 5 lines of text then a break. Use bullets with line breaks between. And don't post your whole idea up front, just enough to start the discussion. Call me if you edit it down.

Q: Do you think we should feel a loss and disappointment everyday when you petition and GM's respond with a "We can only intervene if there is a bug creating an error or an acceptable related loss," message?

A: Your feelings don't matter. The policy is in place because CCP has a strict "non interference" policy regarding player interaction. Just because someone did something bad to you, doesn't mean CCP should correct it. It's part of the game and you agreed to it when you click "accept" on the EULA.



Q: Do you think it would be a problem to have Police situations implemented? Do you think a dispatch with the appropriate tools that are sanctioned or doctrine police cruisers should be dispatched for any situation related to the job?

A: I do. Anything less than CONCORD's current response would result in gankers blowing up people and escaping to POSs, stations, and/or low-sec. Anything beyond CONCORD's current response would make high-sec way safer than it currently is... and it is already absurdly safe relative to every other area of the game.


Q: Would you feel a disappointment if a scam report file was filed in order to blow the guy's ship up until the right amount of money has been retrieved out of s/he's loss?

A: Having scammed people myself and being "outlaw" status (see: "I can be shot at by anyone, anytime, anywhere")... it wouldn't change anything. Nor would it affect dedicated scamming characters that never leave station.


Q: Do you think that Police should only have the privilege of operating within empire space?

A: Yep. Otherwise, everywhere would be a pseudo form of high-sec.


Q: I think with all due respect that it's a jungle out there. The hassle and hustle of every crook should be stopped wouldn't you agree?

A: There is nothing stopping you from stopping me except yourself. Come at me brah.


Q: Sherman tanks will always prevail over any Light amphibious vehicle and with that being said, I think there should be a stick to poke the bad boys.

A: Except this isn't like real life. This is a rochambeau game where a clutch of cheap frigates can outmaneuver, outrun, and melt a battleship with superior tactics.
So get your stick and come at me (and those like me)!

Your topic reads like a collection of thoughts that were randomly quote mined from an old Chinese newspaper then put through several translators.

Seriously, if I read the first three lines out loud, people would think I was having a stroke.

A man once stood before God, his heart breaking from the pain and injustice in the world. 'Dear God,' he cried out, 'look at all the suffering, anguish, and distress in your world. Why don't you send help?' God responded, 'I did send help. I sent you.'


I figured out a long time ago that rarely, if ever, will you run into that scammer or ganker or troll or [insert bad guy] a second time, ready this time to exact your revenge, so you can't really address the injustice you face on an individual basis. Something bad happened to you? You have to move on from that. But, if you really believe that there should be justice, well, there is good news. You will run into people just like the one who wronged you. And, though you may not be able to exact personal justice, you CAN force the universe to bend toward justice on the grand scale. Good luck.

Ranting is prohibited

A rant is a long-winded, redundant post, often filled with angry, non-constructive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and helpful in the development of the game, but rants are disruptive and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise, clear manner and avoid going off on rambling tangents.

First I'll say remarkable comment that you've made, I appreciate your work and will post some more questions.

Besides the quote explaining what you should have been able to extract on your own, I'll ask some questions to use up some time. Do you think we should feel a loss and disappointment everyday when you petition and GM's respond with a "We can only intervene if there is a bug creating an error or an acceptable related loss," message? Do you think it would be a problem to have Police situations implemented? Do you think a dispatch with the appropriate tools that are sanctioned or doctrine police cruisers should be dispatched for any situation related to the job? Would you feel a disappointment if a scam report file was filed in order to blow the guy's ship up until the right amount of money has been retrieved out of s/he's loss?

The hassle and hustle of every crook should be stopped wouldn't you agree? Sherman tanks will always prevail over any Light amphibious vehicle and with that being said, I think there should be a stick to poke the bad boys.

Translation:
GMs should deal with player aggression the same way they deal with bugs and mech abuses;
CONCORD should operate everywhere and not just in Hi-sec;
NPCs should attack players for bounties (?);
It's up to NPCs to "poke the bad guys" and not up to players undocking in a ship with guns.

I may suck at translation, feel free to correct me OP.

Though nvm, points were answered several posts above, I believe. Thant you, kind man.

If I've learned anything about High School Mr. Whalen it's that you may reach the basic point of the page through the beginning and ending paragraphs. However your post has none so perhaps you'd like to explain to us all, what a wall of text is again and how it relates to my topics formal front post.



I think what he meant to say was, "This is a wall of text!!"

Besides which, your teacher indicated that you may learn about the topic through the first and last paragraph, as the opening points and closing arguments or summary, not that you should only have two paragraphs. You're supposed to detail your points, (usually no more than 3, just like listing is generally limited to 3 items), in the paragraphs between the opening and closing paragraphs.

That is, your standard Essay format consists of 5 paragraphs consisting of an opening paragraph, point paragraphs 1, 2, and 3, and your closing paragraph. It is a rule of thumb and free form righting doesn't specifically have to follow it, but your average paragraph should consist of more or less 3 sentences, and be about as long as this one.

Now that the post's topic has been established through context I feel it safe to say:

HAHAHAHA No.

Hisec is safe enough as it is, lowsec / nullsec are places where you can "police" yourself. That's what standings (and what people call NBSI and NRDS policies) are for. If you want to bring peace to such a system keep with NRDS, offer decent taxes to neutrals on your POCO's, camp gates and blap only true criminals, etc... provided your "peace keeping force" can keep the NBSI corps at bay, you have your system of relative peace to call home: just be prepared to defend it. Hisec shouldn't be safe from terrorism (no space should) and the OP's idea of player-policed systems is already in the game. Unless I am gravely misinterpreting context, that wall-of-text looks very redundant to me.
