EVE General Discussion

Why? Ship balance affect the whole EvE population. Moon goo affect null people and people bitching about moon goo. Pretty sure there are more people in "the whole eve population".

The economy affects EVERY1 in the Sandbox...
ITS THE ECONOMY STUPID

INB4 we are the 99%

GTFO with that socialism garbage

You don't see capitals being popped and replaced in hisec do you? Those moons are needed to replace big ship losses. Now if you want to reduce it from trillions to one or two trillion then fine. Whatever. People will just have to manage their finances and losses a little better to compensate.

and why is the sov grind a problem?

i shall answer this for you.

everyone is blue to each other. get rid of the mile long blue lists and sov grinding wont be a problem. but that would require balls. which no sov holding alliance, except solar, have.

Might want to catch up on current events, your picture of null is out of date be well over a month.

Nullbears love to rant about how hisec is all risk-averse. While that may be true, that doesn't mean those selfsame nullbears aren't risk averse either. Case in point, this idea of Cloud Ring (which is really just a player organized version of a PVP Arena, complete with rules and judges). If a Great War (which, it could be argued, previous incarnations created the massive coalitions that now dominate nullsec) is deemed to be something that would take too long, and be too destructive, and the only alternative is to fabricate fake fights for the sake of good fights (which are in truth only good because of the RISK and the surprise inherent in their emergent creation) while eliminating all potential vectors of risk...then you are risk-averse, and are just as terrible as the pubbies you love to hate. I'm sure your going to say something about how you earned the right to be top dog (which you did, because those who fought against BoB TOOK RISKS), and if someone else wants your space then they should come and take it; but that's like America, Russia and China telling Somalia to come at 'em. There is no potential threat to the blue doughnut, and there will never be a potential threat as long as all three coalitions are too damn scared to actually RISK something against each other.

If the only solution to the stagnation of Nullsec is to create a completely risk-averse PVP Arena, which somehow proves to CCP that null is borked (which, in and of itself is absurd, considering that is exactly what nullbears complain hisec is turning into); then your doing it wrong. If a Great War would be so costly, and take so long, that people who have played this awesome game for the past ten years would quit...you have your priorities backwards.

Yes, y'all fought your way to the top, and did such an excellent job of destroying any potential threat to your existence. Now, the very thought of having to risk said position as top dog would cause ten year vets to quit...that is the very definition of risk averse. I mean, those theoretical bittervets would quit because of the amount of risk inherent in a three-way Great War? Even discounting the idea of risk, YOU SPENT TEN YEARS PLAYING THIS GAME, AND A WAR THAT MAY LAST SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR IS TOO LONG? Are you serious?

And you claim us pubbies are risk-averse idiots who want all the things now, in perfect safety. Your hypocrisy is breathtaking.

Not only do we have no need for even more space but we don't have the manpower to secure it if we do capture it.

Nothing pointless about my Undead Half werewolf death knight.

Solar burns in the east and the slow boiling hatred of northern coalition dot for goons turns their gaze northward and Gorga would be all too happy to oblige them. Delve wasn't so long ago. TEST is narrowly talked off the ledge by a contrite Shadoo but the HBC grows restless and all it takes is one diplomatic incident to start the firestorm. However I'm glad you showed us your intimate knowledge of the nullsec politik and you're not just parroting what other ill-informed forum-goers have been saying for months with this talk of blue donuts.

Damn I wish I had written you posts first & last sentences above in my OP. +1
