Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I love to throw the bird seed out, so expect this will no doubt ruffle some feathers.

HOWEVER, I think this suggestion will do a lot to improve the whole risk / consequences vs reward thing for people that wish to asshat about in high sec.

Due to lack of ability to do anything about suicide throw away alts.....

1) First and foremost, apply security status drops to account wide. I'm sick to the back teeth of infinite throw-away alts being used to feed main characters, with absolutely no consequence. If your alt sticks it to concord, then prepare all characters on the account to find standings hit the rocks.

2) ALSO raise the bio mass timer to 1 month to stop recycling alts materialising like there's no meaning to consequence.

The account wide consequence for recycling suicide alts to circumvent security hits is warning, ban, ban and ban.

So I'd propose forming a GM team focusing on persecuting this, if it actually is a widespread issue that requires persecution with prejudice.

Avoiding in game reprisals by posing on anonymous alt

Ergo, suicide ganking in game using arbitrary alt avoiding concord reprisals... Sadly no mechanism to reprise suicide alts in game; hence my heart felt suggestion.

"Grrr goons" can do anything they want to inside the game; but cant stop 'faceless' npc alts posting to secure safety of other characters on said account within the forums.

If you have facts to back your assertion that people are recycling suicide gank alts, which is completely against the rules, then let CCP know about it.

I for one, grow tired of this ridiculous carebear claim.

Plus it's already an account wide consequence if found doing this. They ban you.

Also regarding the sec loss across the account. lol no. Please learn what RPG stands for, then see why it's a silly idea. As well as the fact that Piracy is within the rules and has been a part of Eve since day one.

If you want more consequences, then add them yourself.

Now this is something I can respond to.

Suicide ganking is a play style, not just a 5 min thing one uses if annoyed, but it might jsut appeasr to you like it if it took just 2 min to find and blow you up°°.
And if someone uses 10%, 30% or more then 50% of his/her gametime to roam in suicide ganking ships, its a normal alt, or even a main, and again, the disposable part already has been refuted. And go to the 'ganking in high sec' thread if this is raelly about ganking, don't diffuse the issue and sneak attack it.

And goons post here openly too, as well as this is my first char. so much for not having the 'balls' or fearing 'reprisal' its a pvp game, I can already be killed everywhere anyway, if someone needs an extra reason, good for him.

Not to mention that you are rather judging the messanger then the message by demanding the same consequences everywhere. Posting on a different toon might get the message heard, and no 10 year 200 SP char will make a bad suggestion good.

No go and cry a bit, this is ridiculous.



Now I know you are just a troll trying violently to prove your point, so that we would agree that you should be punished just to say in the end: hey see, you agree with me, doesnt work, troll.
In case you are not that troll, there is a reson why you play with characters and not accounts. And why you can sell cahracters with all the social baggage that comes with it and why you can't recycle chars for SP. Its roleplaying one char, you are not roleplaying yourself, now leave this game.

Well as most suicide alts are shootable on sight and have to leave the station to you know, suicide gank. Then asking me how one could add more consequences, seems like a rather daft question.

But then I have a feeling, you really didn't think this through at all anyway so.....

This idea is bad from the start because it's based on emotion (hate in this case, namely hatred of suicide gankers). Emotions bad, reason good.

There are already penalties for doing the throw away alt thing. You don't make new solutions for something that is already dealt with.

Lastly, there is nothing wrong with being an 'asshat' in high sec so long as what the player is doing is 'legal' (ie within the game rules/EULA). "I don't like it so CCP should punish it" is (again) an emotional response, not a reasonable response that is demonstrating a real cause for changes.

Anybody biomassing negative sec status characters repeatedly is banned either temp or perm because this is explicitly an exploit. You're asking for what already exists.

Throwaway alts are a core part of EVE.

-1 to this entire thread and I hope it gets closed for being pointless.

Not all of us hisec dwellers think it needs to be more safe etc. Having said that if hisec burnt for a month I would operate in covops and losec so probably not aimed at people like me. New pilots would be crippled though.

Seeing threads like this one, I can see why some would just want highsec done away with entirely.
