Eve is a player driven content game.

If you're bored, its your fault.

Have there be the possibility that Dodixie fall under the control and ownership of Serpentis. Throw the market in disarray because highsec isnt so safe anymore.


Anything involving NPCs is meticulously cataloged and put on various websites so that carebears can maximise their isk per hour. My way would involve players creating the content, which would mean it would be less predictable. As a group of people, Eve players do things that are stupid, brilliant, stupidly brilliant and brilliantly stupid. This keeps it fresh and exciting, kinda like all other emergent player-driven content in the game.

should it be true there will be less whine about carebears.

Tho i guess "player provided' content is not so exciting in reality.

It sounds like you want Low PvP\Null PvP content but but without the other players.

I'd say join a corp and leave high sec or go play one of the x games

CCP, highsec as it stands right now is boring. Its too safe an area of the game. Dont nerf the rewards of carebears in highsec. Increase them. But make 0.5-0.7 systems more dangerous with good bounties for retaking systems. Good bounties for eliminating NPC gate and station camps. Give players a reason to escort freighters, protect miners and provide cover for mission runners to get out of station to go complete a

Freighters autopilot all throughout Empire without much risk. Miners afk in belts with only gankers to worry about. I want to see carebears band together to retake their home when the NPC pirates invade and make it as dangerous to leave station as if they were in lowsec or null. Carebears are good at one thing.....killing NPCs. So CCP, give them more **** to shoot at.

Have Sleepers hop in from that new k162 that spawned and start kiling players in hisec. Give players a reason to pay attention before undocking.

Have NPCs pod players too.

At least for a few months, have all the NPC pirate factions truly invade highsec so it affects EVERYONE who lives in 0.5-0.7 systems. Incursions are cool, but not dangerous enough. I want to see exploding pinatas in highsec. Make us all have to fight to defend our homes. Because right now, the highsec PvE is just too damn easy and boring. Some love PvE without the PvP. So give us more intense PvE in highsec.

Set highsec on fire!!!!!!!


So, basically, you want lawlessness, chaos, and disorder.

Unfortunately for you, thanks to the efforts of many 0.0 dwellers, but also lowsec and highsec mission runners, such large quantities of Gurista, Angel, etc ships are destroyed, that they are currently not capable of amassing fleets large enough to take on Concord, or the much more threatening Empire faction navies at this point, like the (largely unsuccessful) Sansha are doing.

Players were tasked with destroying the titan. Some players came out and took the side of the Serpentis and managed to escort the titan all the way. CCP has the tools and the ability to do those types of events. I want them to do that kind of stuff in highsec. Make carebears actually care about something more than the daily grind.


Live events are great, but CCP don't have the time to run them often. Besides, players should be creating the content, not to mention there are no silly rules against us podding other players. Lol


yes palyers should create content but ccp should also.

Isn't the point of high-sec to be boring? A place where you can idly mine or do easy missions to make relatively small amounts of ISK?

Regardless, I'm in a Corp that's in 10 wars right now, and High Sec is no longer boring.
If you're good at this game, you're bad at this game.   If you're terrible at this game, you're great at this game. ISK is nothing. Pew pew everything.

Sort of like how you cry about hi sec not being low or null sec.

Funny, cause I don't do that at all.
I dare you to link a single post where I've done this.

awe npc alt poster making goon pet mad. i dont understand why you are so mad. you live in null sec which has become the safest place in eve to rat.

congrats on being a part of the problem and not the solution.

I'm not mad. However I am continually amazed at the amount of people who think null is safer to rat in.

Nullsec doesn't have CONCORD. Highsec does.
The vast majority of highsec PVE is done in mission areas, in deadspace, which requires that someone use combat scan probes to find you. The vast majority of nullsec PVE is done in anomalies - the entire list of anomalies in-system is scanned down in ten seconds using the system scanner and you can warp to them directly.
There is less PVP in high than in null, both consensual and non-consensual. In null most people are there because they want to PVP, or because they at least want to contribute to it in some fashion.
Having vast swathes of blue space, despite your preconceptions, actually encourages reds to roam in our space and kill ratters who have become complacent. And boy, do they get complacent - this has happened hundreds of times in the past few months alone.

That is a pretty poor opinion, Player driven content is fueled by the tools provided to create it, If the tools suck the content sucks. What i love about half the community of Eve is " Go to a less safe area if you want fun and less boredom ", ~Of course so you can gank me with a ship 3 times as powerful and laugh at me in Local as you do it. I have had this happen.

Yes join a corp that takes part in Wars that you cant compete in or be any use in. Go to an area you are massively under skilled for and get ganked to high heaven over and over again.

Lets face facts, Established and well skilled players want any excuse to be able to kill easy targets as often as they like, "why" because that's fun, well only for 1 party in that scenario, Eve caters to that party in a big way as everything worth doing in Eve requires a High risk, or 9/10 times being ganked and killed by better players (Better meaning significantly higher skilled and equipped) who do it because they can and its FUN......for them.

Eve is a Fantastic PVP sandbox with a detailed and awesome crafting system, and will be for years to come, BUT, the PVE side of the game is way below par....

Il use SWTOR as a example, Fantastic story, Fantastic leveling system. God awful PVP and absolutely no sandbox what so ever with a rinse repeat token grind at end game.....It failed, by failure it has around 30k - 60k active players on a daily basis....That number is the same for EVE....So make your assumptions.

Fact is with a solid PVE environment this game will attract 3 times as many players. And that is only a good thing in the long run.

Die hard PVPers will do everything they can to drive PVEers out of a game like this. Only problem is when they are gone, what are you going to do then.....Fight among yourselves, with noone gathering your Ore and materials or providing easy kills.......Sounds like fun ????

Mine is every player in Eve should be campaigning for a better High Sec. Because without it 20k players leave this game overnight ?????

You first. You say "the tools suck" and then spout off a bunch of misconceptions about the game and you wonder why you're bored.
The tools are there, they don't suck, and you don't have to leave highsec to have fun. A lot of us may have said to go to the more dangerous areas of space, but those are only fun if you like the added risk. Some people don't. There are plenty of other ways to have fun in this game.

No, it isn't. If PVE is all you want this isn't your game.
What we most definitely do not need is an influx of a hundred thousand players all coming for the PVE element, a large portion of whom will be crying that ganking in highsec should be against the rules, scamming should be against the rules, wardecs should be consensual, etc.

Can't really undertand how I can sit in a .5 belt, alone, in a ship with no guns, and have 2 or 3 Hobgoblin 1's orbitting me to stay perfectly safe.

There's no reason for belt rats. I can sit there and let the damn things shoot me with no worry.

NPC's need a serious beefing up in high sec, they're ******* ******** as it stands.

i agree as being real beings they would at some stage start to understand that they are pussies and begin to stock up or gtfo and not come back. rats in high sec belts shouldnt even show up.

I am entertained by the posters who keep trying to divert the discussion to PvP in highsec. Im proposing more PvE content in highsec at such a scale that it makes Highsec dangerous for everyone. I can understand why people who want to PvP wouldnt want this. Same reason that one guy in another thread was bitching about the npc A.I. now switching targets and ruining his Pilgrim sneak attacks.

I love PvP as much as I like PvE. However, im not posting to ask for more PvP in highsec. Ill be happy for more. Id love for a day or two a month where concord takes a vacation and we can all go crazy in highsec without any rules. But CCP isnt going to do that.

Highsec is the land of PvE whether you, I or anyone likes it or not. I just want more widespread nonconsentual PvE in highsec because I know CCP isnt going to go for more nonconsentual PvP in highsec.

Id like to also see NPCs fight each other. Would add to the lore. Serpentis invades a system in Gallente space to establish a foothold to bring in more forces. Gallente Navy responds by sending in forces to drive Serpentis out and retake the system. Players participate by siding with Gallente or Serpentis in that system. Whether it is 0.5 or 0.7, that highsec system is a warzone.

Why cant I remote rep Serpentis ships if another player is attacking that serpentis ship? That would be fun. Players bringing in ships to assist the Serps or the Gallente Navy. Have an option presented when jumping into system or undocking in that system: (This system is at war between Gallente and Serpentis. Choose your alligiance. Gallente or Serpentis). Player chooses, and depending on who they choose, A.I. of the NPC determines if that player is friendly or hostile.

There could be systems in conflict spead around Empire. What I am thinking is along the lines of FW and DUST, except PvE oriented content for Highsec which any player in EVE can take part in, no matter who they are or what corp/alliance they are in. Incursions already provide similar content, but in a more scripted way. Pirate NPC incusions should be more random and more widespread to include gates, stations, etc. Not just sites and belts.

Id also like to see missions where I am fighting along side friendly NPCs. Every mission is setup to be run solo. There needs to be more encouragement, incentive, and reward for being in a fleet. More targets the more you have in fleet. Have missions scale with the size of the player fleet.
