Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Firstly
That's not even remotely his point. He want's to basically do whatever he wants at a moments notice, without having to work up to it. He doesn't see the point in learning how to play, he wants instant "I win" buttons. People like EVE the way it is. We don't need some ponse coming along telling us it should be a cross between WoW and starcraft and telling us we simply don't understand. If he doesn't want EVE, he can **** off and find another game to play. We honestly couldn't give a ****. The community doesn't need short-sighted retards.

Secondly
While the systems are not to simplest, the work well and have done for years. The problem with "revisiting" these is determining how to change them without destroying the entire system, as it's a live system. You can just go "you know what, I think we should make blueprints simpler!" then screw over everyone that's worked on building up an industry for years.
I would also say that if I had to pick something to be changed, manufacture and research would not even remotely be at the top of the list. Sure there's a lot of button clicks, but beside that, the system works. Corp security and POS security is something I would say need to be looked at.

it used to be saying you had an out of state girlfriend you met at summer camp. now its talking to yourself on an MMO forum...crazy kids

I am impressed that there are so many Gamers who like Leagues and Arenas, and Eve is a giant Sandbox, but it seems no one cares to build such a thing on his own hands.

Just thought this deserved another read by our beloved Harry.

What are you talking about?

EVE is a sandbox : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandbox_game

That means that if you want arenas, go and create/organise one.. that's all, if you don't like to do that then unfortunately it is not going to happen.

I honestly think you might be missing the point a little on what a sandbox game is meant to be, and I am not being horrible at all, just re-think for a second here.

is the game destroyed because people play on SiSi for hours? no... the same effect arenas will have at the economy

different types of gamers play different parts of the game, some however will play all of them...

don't be so paranoid, nobody will destroy "your" EvE

I'm just tired searching the gooncaves for targets, your docking-games are anyoing

I want eve to have gameoptions for everybody, yes...

but you just want everybody to play your style, however thats too boring for most of the gamers out there

If you really don't understand how it will effect the economy to have fight removed from regular space, and moved to indestructible tournament areas, then you don't understand EVE. If you don't understand why having these areas off limits to gankers and pirates is a dumb idea, you don;t understand EVE.

Only YOU have problem finding fights. Nobody else has problems finding them. So the problem is YOU, not the lack of a crappy arena system.

fights will not be removed from regular space, they will still happen there like in the past

arenas is just another game option, someday you will understand it... hopefully

Of course they won't happen the same. If PvP players have the option of Regular PvP vs Unlimited ship replacement arenas, of course they are going to do some arenas. That means demand for replacement ships and modules will go down, as will isk flow between PvP and industrialists.

But that destroys what EVE is about. Every action in EVE is supposed to have consequences. You want to add the ability to avoid those consequences.

The only way to do arenas (without the test server) is like RvB have done. They do arranged PvP on various scales, all still part of the economy.

you guys won't touch arenas, so all will be fine...

other gamers will come to play arenas, they won't distract you from your SoV warfare

or are you telling me now, you fear you get addicted to arenas as well?
