This doesn't benefit the hunters or the hunted... and blobs would be pretty unaffected. Gangs have a harder time finding people to kill, and everyone has a trickier time moving around... where's the benefit?


There is none. The "eliminate local" are simply folks that don't understand that other people aren't like them. See, they'd probably stick around in a null or low sec where there was no local but easy access via gates and cynos.

So they think everyone else would too, instead of understanding the actual reality, which is most people would say "screw this, back to high sec where I make less isk but having no local makes no difference because of CONCORD and npc corps that can't be wardecced". a few people would just move to wormholes where no local is reasonable and the risk can be mitigated, but most would jsut say screw it and leave.

The most probable end result of no local in easy access areas (low/null) is fewer ships dying. Local (like gates, which act as solar system choke points) at least allow people to find each other (willingly or otherwise) for pvp in null and low , something these brilliant anti-local nuts don't get.

Removing local in anything other than WH space, without a system to replace it in some fashion, is almost as bad an idea as creating a realtiy TV show called Steven Seagal: Lawman. Smile

Scammers and bots die a horrible death, and unless people want to reveal themselves in local there's no way to unfairly ascertain who may be in low or null-sec. Would probably encourage more active travel and participation in low and null-sec.



Stop suggesting this. It's not going to happen, and you're an idiot for thinking CCP will ever agree to it.

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

I partially agree with the OP.

The ability to at least close Local like you can with other channels (except corp and alliance) would be nice.

Complete removal of local...I do support it, but it ain't going to happen.

Are you in need of some nice chat? Are you new and want some help? Look no further and join: Crazy Dutch Guy

Nonsense, a simple review of past player behavior demonstrates that when confronted with unreaosnable situations people adapt by leaving, especially when there are other areas in the same game they can flee to.. The null sec population dropped noticeably and measurably after the 1st anomalie/military upgrade system nerf, you somehow think the same people would try to make iskm in a null with no local but but easy access?

Whatever you're smoking, put it down and open a window.

For fu*k sake... Just minimize the basta*d local chat, turn blink off and shut up whining already!!! Arrow

It's human nature to want to explore. To find your line and go beyond it. The only limit, is the one you set yourself.

^ This.

And that block list feature keeps most other local chat pretty tolerable - if it's just scammers and twits that annoy you.
