EVE General Discussion

EVE is fun for us as it is.
Adding more isk to high sec wouldn't suddenly make people fly into low for you to shoot at, and even if it did, unless they were flying cyno frigs, you'd lose.
Once again, you prove you still have no idea what you're talking about.

Don't joke about Black Legion cynoships.

Posting in a stealth "nerf highsec" thread.

But they're safe in null and risk-takers are in High Sec.

He should be shooting at afk Ventures in high sec belts instead. They are more challenging, they take more risks and those players are in dire need of pvp.

This is where we will agree to disagree. I have experienced to many instances of newbie players (some less then a week old) completely obliterating 2007 characters. The hurdle is determined by us, not the game's design. Less ISK grinding, less KM whoring, and more teaching is what I advocate over pulling in a crowd that doesn't appreciate the true depth of the game anyway.


Truth be told, that sounds like a consequence of your playstyle, not mine. I keep sort of a back-log and order ships from indies in my alliance. Often-used mods I regularly order from a hub and I pay for the privilege of them being brought to me. It takes a couple of minutes every few days to set up some contracts and send a mail, but for me reshipping is either a matter of minutes or I have exhausted my pool of PVP stuff, meaning that I screwed up royally somewhere lol. These benefits don't come falling from the sky. They exist because my alliance is invested in more then just lololpewpew with randoms. They are also a continuation of the PVE we can do thanks to previous conquests. By collaborating we have achieved PVP objectives, and created a more luxorious position for ourselves, off course subject to changes in the polical landscape. And the stirring of larger entities. Exiting!

I would want to recruit people that want to help enforcing this position, people that understand the context of our playstyle. I dont believe pulling in random CoD type players will benefit Eve at all. They'd probably not appreciate the depth of the game, and to be honest, the last thing Eve needs right now is to be dumbed down. I firmly believe more players would venture into null if null had some meaningfull solo- and small-gang PVP objectives. I still want my Skillian Blitz, but I want it to happen for a reason.

Harry, congratulations on finally finding something you're good at: getting dozens of people to reply to an obvious troll post.

Boosting incomes makes everything more expensive. There is no merit to this idea.

******* hell I can't block hard enough at this comment

it feels more like you are scared of the average player because you want eve to be your special place, the masses do not have time for all what you are doing, however they could still be part of the game for everybodies advantage, there just need to be some game modes added, all what you do could still be done for the hardcore, however the casual player would also jump in and do some stuff.... more targets for us all, that would not be bad, and both gamstyles would work for each of the group

at the moment its way too much team driven, but how many people play football vs. solo sports like running, tennis, biking, golf

there are many more people who favour the solo stuff, because its easier and you do not have to coordinate with other people, all those people are locked out of big parts of the game... making it possible to have more fun in the game for them would be key to grow, and growing the game is never a bad thing

sure some would not feel so special anymore because more people play it, but who cares if more fun is to be had for everybody

Last time I was actively playing the game, L4s could already net you amount of ISK OP states. In a sense, you already have what you are asking for.
