EVE General Discussion

There is an Easy fix to peoples lack of morals in the game. Fix the bounty system. To do this CCP needs to do the following.

1. You have to apply for a bounty hunter licence, a Corp licence, making everyone in your corp a bounty hunter. Everyone in your corp needs to have positive sec status.

2. As soon as you shoot someone in low sec you get Negative standing and automaticly become wanted. Bounty corps can shoot these people anywhere and concord wont get involved they also dont lose sec status if they do so. Also if they shoot back at the bounty hunters in highsec concord responds ( this is a serious thing, locking people who kill others out of highsec) If you get a negative status you are kinda screwed untill you can turn your sec status around.

3. The victim also has the Option to Contract a bounty to a bounty corp.. making it even more lucrative to hunt the offender. when going into the bounty system ingame. Bounty hunter corps show up and can be contacted and contracted through the game placing a lucrative bounty on the offender.

to sum it up

shoot someone you go to -0.1 sec even if you had +5 before the incident. Bounty hunter corps can kill you anywhere and if they attack you in highsec concord will help them out. Players can contract bounties on you through and ingame system to a legit bounty corp or corps that now will make sure the offender dies. The bounty goes to the corp wallet for the CEO to take care of. So bounty corps dont get rotten eggs inside the corp who try to abuse it.

4. Now you ask yourself why the **** would anyone want to become a pirate after this? I say revamp the Null pirate space make it like Empire accept the pirate NPC ( as nasty as concord) shoot people with high sec status) this makes Pirate null a heaven for Reds. They can dock there live there and strick out of there to kill people.

With this system there would be concequences for killing people at random. You would lock yourself out of highsec and run A high risk of getting shoot for it. When people see that the bounty system works, More people will start to spend money on bounties. And PvP lowing people can make Bounty hunter corps and make a name for themselves.

You cant take away the Abuse element completely. But having Bounty hunter corp licences and having the player based bounties go to the CEO of the bounty corp, and having the victim contract the Bounty corp himself. Are 3 things that will make it that much harder to abuse.

Also I would personaly like to have that if you suicide gank someone in highsec your hole corp gets -1 standings and can now be shoot at freely with the help of concord... ( but alot of people would cry murder if this was implemented hahaha) Also this would mean that you could not attack other players if you are in an NPC corp. You dont have the right to shoot back.. this would force more people out of the NPC corps.

EvE as it is today just has to few concequences and the nasty fact is that more people would probably kill People IRL if they could, but laws are what makes a stable society work. Keeps the Nutjobbs inline, and I feel that EvE has come to the point were if " EVE is REAL" we need to start using a much harder policy on bad behavior.....

Bad: Anything ~I~ don't like.

Didn't you get the memo? You have to please everyone in an MMO with thousands of players.

Eve: Capitalism Online

If you follow human evolution, you see a clear pattern that, as soon as people come together in larger groups, Laws and regulations follow. If we dident do this we would still be hunters and gatherers and running around with stone clubbs. Civilazations prosper under LAW AND ORDER. disorder and chaos are seriously bad for human progression, things stagnated and crumble. The fall of the Roman empire took hundreads of years to Repair for example and we call that Period the dark ages for a reason.

EvE is in the Dark ages now and we badly need to bring it up to the renaissance.. WHY? you ask, because evolution is good the game has stagnated (both in subscriptions and in content) We have been living in the Dark ages for to long and I personlay think a change is needed.. ( ccp has seen this also and have slowly, made scaming harderd and highsec safer)

Dont fight change, We need a much more stable EvE universe for many many reasons;

1. More subscribers ( It is Fact that most people dont like to get greifed)
2. There are way to few concequences for actions ingame, and we need the Comunity to police itself ( Bounty licence would make this much easier to do)
3. A society like EvE cant work if there is no LAW and ORDER ( if you want to live in the frontier Both low sec and 0,0 are open for grabs) But Highsec kinda needs to go into a 0,1% Grifer mode.

I personly dont mind the griefing and the scaming done lots of it myself through the years, poded myself for bunties, sold fake bookmarks, Done corp infiltration and stolen **** etc.

But I Understand that this cant go on. The facts are out there "EvE has stagnated subscriber wise" More stability would bring more people too EVE.. So for sake of the game we need to take action against greifing...

Scamer corps shooting NOOBS, Corps setting up NOOBs in shell coperations too use them as target practice. Endless scammer spam in all mayor trade hubs. All work against the game. I saved countless noobs over the years from quiting the game after they have been used and abused by griefers and retards. I take a moral responcibility for the sake of the game. If we let Griefers Run the game we will soon not have anyone left to play with. This IS FACT.

people need to stop abusing NOOBS ingame and think about the consequences of them doing so. Less subscribers and stagnation might mean the end of EVE? is that what you want, the game too get shut down in a few years just so you could get your lolz while it lasted??

No! we need Crime and Punishment that works, I would even go so far as to say Jail time for offenders ( you cant play your charecter for a 1 week-1month) becuase you are in jail. Would be Realy good for the game.

Im sorry but we need to get out of the dark ages we been there for the past 7-8 years. Its time for the Renaissance were you actually get punished for crimes you comit against others..

Awesome, I guess I'm playing an arcade shooter. How does that change the rules of the game?


But you can pay for a subscription by using the sandbox. And you can buy ISK using RL cash by using the sandbox. So you can choose how to pay for a sub by using the sandbox. If I had more RL time to play this game, I'd probably try playing for free. Since I don't, I figured I'd let someone else make the ISK and pay their sub for a month every so often.

This.

+1 Jack.

Nothing makes me happier than you happily go to a station to buy a new ship. Maybe you are even humming to yourself and snapping a few screenshots as you undock.

I am so happy that you are happy with your new ship that I have to blow it up.

not true if the entire system is an isk sink.

Seems to me the original question is using the word morality but really means the role playing of moral characters. Most MMOs aren't really RPGs.

This thread is slowing working backwards toward the beginning.
