Gate camps to me are not real pvp. I would like ccp to implement something to add more pvp to EVE without the use of gate camps. I am not sure what they could do to make this happen but I would like to see more pvp but little to no gate camps at all.

Maybe add lvl 6 agent to low to draw people into system and engage them at the site. Like i said I don't know how to pull this off but gate camps are boring and lame there needs to be a lot more options for pvp



Graveyard camping in Eve is an institution, don't touch it or Eve will die. Lol

"I would like..."
"...somehow..."
"Gate camps to me are not real pvp."

Lots of opinions with no facts. PvP is player versus player which means when one player (or several) attacks another, the other player's consent is not required in order for it to be considered PvP. What PvP means to you is irrelevant.

Gate camping is not a feature, it's just one of those things that happens in the sandbox that is EvE.
You're supposed to counter the gate camps instead of crying to the gods. Fit stabs on your ship, be too fast for them to catch, destroy them... the options are many. The correct answer is not "please ccp change this because I cannot cope! pl0X!!"
The kid that beats the bully is the one that survives.

No, just because you have died at a gate camp does not mean they should be removed. Scout and be more careful next time and you'll be alright. They have been part of the game for a while now and it is a perfectly valid play style. I personally hate it, but I understand why people like it.

Adapt

Do something about the camps or find other routes, check your map and don't fly through at peak times. Just because you don't approve or use a certain play style it does not mean it is broken.

I've run afoul of gatecampers a good few times (and I'm only 20 days old), and it's annoying but I'm mostly just intruiged about the possibilities of fits to survive them tbh. I'm sure there are ways to mitigate their effects on my game. Looking forward to testimg out fits on this, actually. It's all good fun.

It would be cool however if there was some sort of short-range jump module that you could fit which wuld open up a wormhole to the next system. Make it have some kind of long cooldown or have its endpoint be randomly located in the target system, and allow the endloint to be noticed by prove scanning or something, to give properly equippped campgangs to try to locate you. I'd rather my lolsec trips were a bit more fox n hounds than 'here I am, kill me please'

This ^^

If you're in high sec (war targets) or low sec (pirates) and you get caught by a gate camp then you're in the wrong ship or you don't know what your doing or both. Use your travel fit frigates to move yourself and small cargo's. If you have larger cargos then get a blockade runner. The name of the ship class should give you some idea what they are designed for Blink

Gate camps in null sec aren't that easy to avoid but that doesnt mean the game mechanic should be changed. They are a part of small and large fleet PVP. Check out the major fights in Fountain to get an idea or what PVP is really all about.

1 v 1 in empire and low sec gate camps aren't what eve is all about. It's what people do until they work out the real game is played in null sec.

Viator can haul a flat packed cruiser - or enough minerals in railgun form to build a battleship, strategics, recons and covops can haul themselves, and for everything else there is MWD/cloak trick and/or an alt to scout.

I really love the notion that you should scan a ship before you shoot it to decide whether it is worth enough to shoot. Exactly how long do you think it takes for a ship to warp away from a gate? You think a fleet is going to hold a little conference? Warp scramble each ship and then debate whether to kill it? That sounds so dumb it's hard to believe anybody would suggest it.

I thought gate campers already had easy mode as long as they can stay awake long enough.

Gate camps were never a problem.

Choke points are.
