Then how about you whiny fucks go back to high sec. You'll get the big isk and you can grief the hell out of all the carebears and pubbies and you won't have to worry about interceptors. Seriously. Why do you even null?


God yeah your right, we should probably just let the game become so broken no one enjoys playing it, I mean it's only like two point five years till star citizen comes out. I say we get remote doomsdays back too.


I'm sure CCP will fix the horrible and unjust imbalance when they see you vote with your feet and move back to empire.

Hey CCP I have this wild idea to make the PVE in your game even more tedious. Replace all bounties with Tags. ALL bounties. Then make it so the tags can only be traded in for raw materials. Which you use to craft your ships yourself.

"Move back" implies I've ever spent significant time in empire.

Heck, why even have money?

I apologize for confusing you. I had intended to imply your character was born in high sec, and thus came from high sec. That's how I came to phrase it as 'move back'. I hope that's clear to you. Seriously though, move to high sec. It'll solve all your problems. Carebears to gank, scrubs to duel, pubbies to insult and you'll be swimming in mountains of lvl 4 isk.

Why do that when I can just send an alt to highsec and continue to shoot at unimportant recruiting alliance full of pubbie scrublords like yourself?

despite what everyone's saying, there are plenty of dead-end pockets and other places where people already like to rat where you could easily drop one down for a few hours without having it snatched.

As for lengthening the payout period, that might be needed, but people should consider that its balanced against the defenders forming up BEFORE the hostiles enter system.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

For the pleasure of doing it with your main of course. And so you don't have to cry all over the forums about how unfair the game is. Change your play style bro, then you won't have to whinge as much.

It's not unfair, it's broken. There's a difference. A hotdrop is generally "Unfair" to the recipient of a hotdrop. But it's not broken, it has a counter, and it has inherent risks and rewards. I realize you are dumb so you may not understand the inherent "Risk vs Reward" tenant that is the entire basis for this game and I'd spell it out but I'm honestly pretty lazy.

Oh how terrible, all the big nullsec blobbers agree that actually pvping to keep their ratters income up is a travesty. This is totally unacceptable, are you actually telling me that now we can't just dock up? Do you mean now we have to actually start protecting our renters and ratting income, tsk tsk, totally unacceptable.

Anyways the only issue I find with it is the time to steal is very short, 60 secs is way too low, it should at least be 3 mins and 5 mins ideally. Give time for actual ships to warp there.

And it's not a nerf if you deploy this right and are willing to fight for the income. It will decrease it by 5% intially but has the potential to increase it by 10%, which is a boost in income. Hopefully this range will also widen in the future.

The only thing worse than a carebear is a nullbear, because a carebear ia at least honest about it.

A flat nerf to null bounties would have been simpler and less annoying.

I pretty much agree. Allthough CCP has always stated that increased rewards should follow the more risks a player takes (And of course survives). A pure isk faucet like rat bounties was a bad idea from the get go. I rather like what one goon posted which was if you want to reduce faucets and get isk moving around in the economy, change half of the rat bounties into LP and put LP stores in every nullsec station.

But that's a good idea so CCP would never do that.

So the ESS will be bait for the untouchable AFK cloakers and other nullsec pests. Sounds like the ESS might be quite useful after all.

Oh god.

No, please do explain it to me. As though you were explaining it to a child. Explain to me how the ESS is broken and has no counter. Explain to me how it doesn't add to the risk v reward dimension. Explain how it won't be fixed if CCP finds that it really is broken and you're not just a whinging *****.

AFK cloakers are only harmful if they actually decloak. Prepare to start defending your ratting income as should be the case.

Granted, you qualify this statement as "they generate loyalty points instead", but that is still bar none the stupidest thing I have ever heard anyone say on these forums.


what?

so you don't understand the difference between say, a pound of gold, and a wad of cash? you view them as equivalent?

if you mine gold out of the ground - you "create" dollars?.... no - you don't. ...

or are you just being thick on purpose? some sort of troll?

reminds me of this picture:

The injection of isk, compared to the injection of valuable goods, is functionally the same.

If I get 50 mil in isk from doing something, and I buy Item X for 25 mil, then it's precise the same equation as if I get 25 mil isk and Item X from doing something else.

The only difference is that the item is likely a more stable investment, as the fluctuation of prices of an individual faction item is typically less than the fluctuation of money.

I look at this as a fantastic buff to cloaky system campers! Now, all I have to do is once in a while, get in range of this thing, and the rest of the time just stay cloaked up... and local will tell them im active and theyll be twice as scared! Actually..scared and PISSED because they'll think im stealing from them too!


But you know guys, we can always make up for this reduction in bounties by increasing highsec ganking.... Not that I really want more competition, but hey, peeps gotta eat.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?
