Concord is there to blow up a ship after a criminal act, that's it, that's all it ever has been. They are by no means " protection ".

The advantage of a bad memory is that one can enjoy the same good things for the first time several times.

One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.

Yes. And we know that's a "game mechanic".

And we also know that a "game mechanic" will get changed when circumstance demands it.

Will this be that circumstance?

On the contrary dear fellow. if I am doing anything here at Eve-O, I'm advocating change for weaker players.

And anyway, this thread is not advocating anything. It's a question, not an opinion.

nope.avi

Perhaps this will be the circumstance that spurns lazy people with victim complexes to actually participate in the game they play and fly their ships which would make them near 100% invulnerable to ganks. But I highly doubt that.

Keep up the good work Apostle! The others may not see the light yet, but they will... eventually.

So remove Concord completely?

Actually, I'm not suggesting anything. But sure as eggs are eggs, CCP will need to 1) make a clear and definitive stand supporting this type of activity (i.e. Do nothing) or 2) seek Concord AI buff or such game mechanic to reduce the impact on highsec players - once and for all.

I think this is going to a defining moment.

Mittens is either being very, very clever or very, very stupid. That's why I'm seeking 'feedback" as it were. Do you think this could change CCP's stance on suicide ganking?

lol. He was talking about Helicity and Mittens. Do you guys ever READ the threads before posting?

Hope you guys are better at PvP, you seem to shoot first and target later.

Mmmmm.... I have entertained the idea that Mittens is only trolling.

Over at scrapheap when the 20% was announced Helicity posted on an alt that CCP had approached him after unbanning him to try to put a defibrillator on hulkageddon. Essentially a PR move for them he wanted no part of.

I really don't see how Navigators ban could have stood either way even with his mastery in exploitative and selective interpretation. Guy should have just been a lawyer.
