EVE General Discussion

Read his previous posts on this forum about the issue.



My "purpose" is an internally consistent game. i have nothing to gain from any of this, in fact I could lose out a bit. But wrong is wrong and right it right. a Player Driven game built upon the idea of consequneces for actions should not have something like the current NPC corps. It should HAVE NPC corps that players can be a part of, but not at a cost to real eve players playing in real people groups.

Fine.... you can war dec an NPC corp, and the faction police and faction navy spawn in massive numbers anytime you are in faction space. While that NPC and war dec'ed, I can't really leave faction space without losing that faction police and faction navy cover.

Does that make the game internally consistent?

I posted in Features & Ideas on a possible solution to get players out of NPC corps into player run corps. It also addresses war dec avoidance.

The jist of the idea is to give player corporations skills that give bonuses to the corporation which only apply when you are a member. If the skills are exspensive enough and take long enough to train it will be an disincentive from quitting the corp and starting a new one because you'll have to start over again.

Unless your are a Sansha, Serpentis, Gurista, Angel or Rogue Drone, I will probably never shoot your ship lol.

You always hide behind that "you just want me to pvp" crap. I am a PVE player mostly, but one who accepts the consequences of the game i've chosen to play.



I feel sorry for you that you need to cling to that belief to justify them. it's simply not true though, YOU might quit, but most everyone else will adapt.

it's not enough, you shold be wardecced too.




you might, but you can't speak for others. We KNOW what causes mass unsubs and changes to npc corps wouldn't evne come close imo.



Again, you have no proof of any of this. And they game has been growing or stable since it's 1st days. you really belive some slightly tougher mining ships "grew the customer base"?

Anyways, all moot points, i doubt it will change but im going to lobby our CSM brosefs hard to take a look at these kinds of things and bring them to ccps attention. NPC corps aren't game breaking, their just poorly implemented.

Nullsec alliances buy low-end mins too. In fact they buy the majority of it.
How would cranking up the price of low-end ore help them?
Logically the best course of action would be to keep low-end ore as low as possible through stuffing all miners and carebears in NPC corps so they could not fight each other (disrupting supply) and flood the veld market supply as much as possible, maximizing the buying power of their moongoo dollar. With the added benefit of securing their industrial backbone and supply chains with zero effort thanks to wardec evasion and NPC corp. Maximum gain, minimum cost with the current system as far as 0.0 alliances are concerned.

Hiseccers who actively defend themselves and successfully contest would be the ones who'd gain the most.

I don't play DayZ, so I could not care less what DayZ does.

When EVE started, there was no high sec, no CONCORD, no NPC corps.... and the player base was tiny.


CCP added these things to attract carebears and casual players. And it worked. Subscriptions have continued to increase the more accessible they make the game.

CCP knows that if they take this away, the number of subbed accounts will crash through the floor. So, they won't.

Yes that's it. You''re getting the hang of it now. It is a door that swings both ways.

I don't think you're very internally consistent Jenn. You may have been hanging out in the POS alone with your 14 alts for too long.

12 alts, and we're too busy solo camping Jita to worry about the likes of you!

Lobby all you want, but CCP will ignore them.

CCP knows that when they made the game more accessible to casual players and carebears, the subscriptions skyrocketed.

How do I know high sec, CONCORD and NPC corps won't be removed? Because CCP went to the work to add them, they accomplished what CCP hoped they would accomplish(more paid subscriptions), and CCP has no desire to see that reversed.


There is room in EVE for players of many, many play styles. CCP wants to be making real money off all of those play styles.

There is nothing internally inconsistent about CCP making different sets of rules that apply to different areas of the game, to make the game appeal to people with various play styles.

Weren't you the one whining about players living in momma's basement with a part time job at Wal-Mart and not paying the rent? Then later brought up welfare?

You know, I must really be one sorry ass player since I rarely have time to do anything with this account accept skill. Real life and all that... but then again, do I aspire to be a Fanatical Fanboy?

Nope.
