Thread number 11763 on Faction Warfare....

Am I the only one that thinks Faction Warfare should be just one big open, faction against faction wardec ?

" It already is " I hear your cry but, imagine it without stupid faction police. No slinking around lowsec or fitting to tank your way through hostile space. Just good Ol fashion fleet up and go fight anywhere. Like Red Vs Blue but with more Quafe !

Pros -

More people participating.
Pirates get to re-populate lowsec.
More PVP for all with less restrictions on travel.

Cons -

24/7 Jita camp.

Thoughts ? Flames ? Trolls ?

lol MORE STATION GAMES!!!

All automated intel should be removed from the game including Instant local/jumps/kills/cynos for all systems/regions.Eve should report nothing like this to the client/3rd party software.Intel should not be force fed to players. Player skill and iniative should be the sources of intel.

Why start a new thread .. not as if you are had some genius idea that has not already been covered a million times over Smile

FYI: FW already IS a big whopping wardec between faction.

Problem people are having is that it was hyped up to be so much more .. was the last great hope of CCP sanctioned/supported RP for instance.

If you declare war on the Minmatar Republic, you should expect the Minmatar Republic to shoot you occasionally.

Thats not true, nobody 'declares war' you simply join or affiliate yourself with a factions militia who are already at war.

Problem is it doesnt mesh with the lore at all...the reason the high sec NPC's are involved in defense is because "Officially" the four Empires have an unstable treaty via Concord. The militia are just that - capsuleers with day jobs that pick up arms to shoot what they perceive to be a threat associated with foreigners.

If you live in the United States -you should be familiar with the Minute Men that live on the border with Mexico - While the U.S. and Mexico are officially not at war, that doesn't stop a bunch of bored hooligans from rampaging around the southern deserts in pickup trucks, toting shotguns and trying to police what they perceive to be a hostile threat from filthy immigrants trying to invade their country. The government tolerates, but not endorses, this behavior.

Let's not confuse the Minmatar Military, with the Minmatar Militia.

As for the high sec NPC removal, that has been well discussed in the main Faction Warfare thread, as well as extensively documented on Shalee Lianne's Sov Wars blog. Lets keep new threads to a minimum, the developers aren't pursuaded by having umpteen more threads to ignore, they like all feedback in a centralize location so they can digest it more easily.
