The amount of wars that will be started by this is the isk sink. Mercs will have even more useful role in high sec, Killing Pocos will become big money.I for one will enjoy the local banter to become common around heavy traffic areas.


You just forget that a killed ship equals insurance payout... Insurance payout is a huge reason behind inflation in this game. Everytime you lose a ship, you put more isk into the game. This combined with no isk sink on doing missions and mining, means that first you produce isk out of air buy materials to make a ship. Then when your ship dies, even more isk comes out of thin air. So mercs killing people will only be bad for inflation.

You should find a friendly Goonswarm or RvB POCO. Our tax rates are very reasonable.

EVE is a game about spaceships and there's an enormous amount of work to do on the in-space gameplay before players (or developers) are ready to sacrifice it for a totally new type of gameplay - CCP Rise

A couple of edit points:

  1. Sandbox doesnt mean you can do anything you want it means you can TRY to do anything you want Blink
  2. PI is not a small player group thing. It is a SOLO thing often involving alt hordes. Dont kid yourself because you were on teamspeak while doing PI



Since this got necro'd anyway I'll go ahead and introduce you to a magical place in eve called:

Quote:
Wormhole Space


Its this amazing place in eve where small groups are capable of engaging in:


  • Structure Building
  • Home Defense
  • Massive Carebearing
  • Small and varying pvp options
  • Exciting challenges
  • Space Explosions
  • and you guessed it - PI!


All while running far under the radar of "large groups" (also read the boogie goons ("grr") )

Every time a carebear cries about how their small corp can't compete with the big boys it makes me cringe a little. Would you go and try to wrestle a sumo wrestler? No im pretty sure if you wanted to wrestle you would find an organization that let you fight within your weight class. Here is a hint: if you want to do anything substantial as a small group in eve you need to go to wormholes. YOU will always be very vulnerable to larger more coordinated groups than yourself no matter where you go, but wormholes make it much harder to coordinate large groups in.

Theoretically the loss of the isk sink will be counteracted by the PI material sink of player destroyable POCOs


Not an isk sink, just an isk transfer. No isk was destroyed with the PI, just a PI material.

If we're really lucky Goons will fall for this obvious CCP trap and their hold on null will be broken when a portion of their fleet is off protecting silly pocos while someone else is nibbling away at their nulpire.


I doubt it. The problem is there are so many goons that they can outnumber fleets in nullsec AND protect their high sec assets at the same time. The only way the goons are going down is from within and that's locked down pretty tight.
