CSM Campaigns

I assumed that we eve players were mature enough to keep **** within game and don't go trying to make people break down. Sure I enjoy the occasional singing ransom but man have some decency in your body and let them go if they do that. I do not in anyway support what Erotica 1 did and I would never continue that far with harassing other players.

With that said I think that what Ripard teg did is pretty bad. He is a CSM member and I am 100% sure he has private ways to contact ccp members. Instead he posted a public blog for everyone to see forcing CCPs hand and make them do stuff that he wants or risk having bad press.

People seem to overreact and think that banning Erotica1 for stuff outside the game will make people start faking teamspeak recordings and getting loads of people banned. CCP can ban anyone for any reason at all and there is nothing you can do about that.

CCP pretty much has to choose between writing up super strict guidelines of what you can and can not do like some other MMOs or Continue with their "our userbase are mature enough to understand when you are going over the line".

I really think that the second choice is the best.

All in all I think that people need to calm down and be better persons outside the game. There is really no way for ccp to 100% confirm that harassment has continued outside the game but I feel like nothing of value was lost when erotica 1 was banned. People need to grow up.




Just be patient I am sure ccp will implement these soon enough. It seems only fair.

Sorry for any repeated questions, tried my best to read all your post and the replies.

How do you feel the Clone Soldiers have helped LS income? Do you think they should have an increased spawn or fine as is?

You suggest more plexes, how do you want these new ones to spawn. As in, what type of spawn rate are you looking at? Afaik and have been told, Large plexes have lower spawn rates (and are plexed really quickly), do you want higher spawn rates for larger plexes?

You mention buffing LS missions, what about the other types of income? Marketing (unless you are scouted in or have webbing alts) are favored for the people with JFs, mining is... well mining, ratting is mainly profitable ny hunting clone soldiers or faction spawns, and Incursions seem hard to do in any kind of safety (i have never done, just hunted people doing them). Anomaly ratting (what im doing for isk atm up in nulli space) doesn't seem as profitable (read at all profitable) in LS.

Do we know when voting starts for CSM?

I largely appreciate your perspective and views, and you've already earned a high position on my ballot.

However, one of your statements puzzled me:



If the tracking disruptors are strong as a result of "unneeded missile nerfs," wouldn't the best response be to fix missiles rather than nerfing tracking disruptors? To reduce ewar because of problems with a weapon system seems a bit like treating a symptom rather than the disease itself. Would you be open to advocating for fixes/improvements to missiles as a whole?

You are still alive brother

Good Luck with your campaign !

I agree that I was a bit bittervet when I wrote that. In a ideal world hmls would be reverted into their prenerf state, rlmls would also be reversed into pre changed state and a new swarm launcher that would function like the new rlmls would be added. The effects of unbonused ewar really hits the hardest at frig levels and are not as common or usefull at higher levels.

Hi Gorski

In your OP you write a bit about FW farmers and that people have problem with them because you can't make them fight.
What about a (FW) lowsec ESS where X % of the LP from farmers get collected.

Now the farmers can get together and fight the people on the ESS, or they can live with a lower income.

If you can live with the risk, the FW people can set up their ESS to make more LP, but risk fighting for it.

The idea is to encourage risk/rewar and pvp, and discourage stabbed farming. You can still farm with a stabbed ship and avoid pvp, but people might set up an ESS and collect a share of your riskless farming.

What do you think about this idea.
