Harder punishment for High-Sec carebears

personally I think it's great that you can earn more in highsec than in some parts of nullsec. Lot's of nullsec is ridiculously safe, highsec, where you can't shoot at the guys who may be coming to kill you, is actually significantly more dangerous, and deserves higher rewards. As for making highsec incursions CONCORD free zones, good luck with that, lolz, they will be just as desolate as nullsec incursions.

The only reason nullsec appears safer than highsec is because it's easier to tell who the hostiles are, NBSI and all. It still boils down to the fact that everyone in null is able to shoot you with zero repercussions, where in highsec only those willing to become criminals will shoot at you. Now that doesn't mean highsec is safe, merely that the potential for the neutral beside you to be an enemy is reduced below sure certainty. Keeping your wits about you in null will keep you safe, applying the same philosophies to highsec gives you total security. So no, highsec doesn't deserve higher rewards.

As far as incursions becoming dead zones if they become Concord free areas, I'm still waiting on how lowering the amount of people milking these generally risk free isk printers is a bad thing. You were even pontificating in another thread about the inflation of EvE's economy, well inflation is caused by an excess of currency, so lowering the influx of isk coming from highsec incursions can only be good.

Oh dear...the fact remains that vast swaths of null are empty and easy risk free farming. In fact Eve is undergoing deflation, not inflation, so we need more isk faucets, and less mining. Hence, if anything, we would want to buff incursion rewards. And incursions are the finest PvE content in Eve....not to mention that do to the current drama actual payouts are way down.

A trend of deflation over the whole market would be a good thing after the overall long trend of inflation we have gone through, if such a deflation trend actually existed beyond your small sample of the overall economy. Picking a few specialty items out of the whole of the economy does not make an accurate economic trend.

Those vast swaths of null are owned by people who will shoot you if you're not one of them, and for the most part theh aren't looking to let people in, outside of renters, that are just looking to print isk.

They are not risk free, and most of them are empty because their median isk per hour is worse than level 4 missions.

And least try to have a clue of what you're talking about?

if you want to torture carebears you need to make sure there are any left to torture. You torment them, you humiliate them, but you do not destroy them Roll

All that saying - Balshem is a care bearish alt I sometimes bring to low sec in order to get some stuff done. I enjoy slower pace and farming (I do need to fund my pvp ships somehow) in low sec feels like multitasking - it's not what I want to do at 8:00 p.m after 8hrs at work and spending time with my family for the rest of the day.

On the other hand it's really cool that high sec ganking/war decing creates so much content. It's amazing that you get to have whole community specializing in hauling stuff just because everyone else is afraid to. Gj!

TL;DR - don't push the stuff too far. People care bear sometimes. Hard core carebears are precious tear generator. High sec pvp is needed.

If you want missions in low sec - - - > come to amarr/militia FW zone and show us how you do them. I'd love some battle ship kills. Otherwise - don't push things too far, because everyone likes to chill once in a while.

    Ok, assuming we are going with the idea that this is a legitimate idea thread, ill provide.

    A mutual war would stay the same as is, until one corp attempts to leave it. After the war is declared non-mutual, the above mechanic would apply.

    If we were going with this.

    So as not to ruin RvB's gameplay, let's add a mechanic where mutual decs allow members to move freely between the opposing sides.

    Now let us imagine how that can be exploited.....

    For RvB, that would be perfect, for at times we must shuffle members between corps for balance purposes. For the rest of you...hmm... This seems like it could have some fun consequences.

    Right carebearing should be done away with, it should become PVP all the time and you would have to buy your isk and modules with your bank account (well until the market runs out) then you can bump each other with your pods, have fun with that
