Maybe then its that CCP would prefer subs payed with real money than free PLEX-subs ?

Im pretty sure CCP is a real company and not a EVE fairytale one... so no paying the bills with ISK Smile

I think EVE is too top-heavy with peeps that don't pay subs with real money anymore but are so powerful they almost call the shots.

Every PLEX in the system has been purchased for real money, and costs more than your monthly sub.

For example a single PLEX costs £16.99 in the UK, a monthly sub costs £9.99. Ergo CCP make more money through people paying their sub via PLEX than they do from people paying their sub direct.

TL;DR You have no idea what you're talking about.


People buy PLEX to get ISK without having to 'farm' ISK. Other pilots who don't have the RL cash buy PLEX with ISK. No one actually subs their account by buying PLEX with RL cash.



Ehh.... i do.... Shocked

Well i sub by paying with real cash and have twice bought and sold a plex for some ingame breathing space.

I'm the Captain of the Noob Team ... nice to make your aquaintance ... hihi

You can bet im pretty much NOT flying anything i cant afford to loose Lol


Why would you do that? All you needed to do is go to the account management page, start up a subscription, then once one payment had been taken cancel the subscription. Would be nearly half the price of PLEX then.


Yes sorry... i just changed that statement... im not that dumb... just dont read too well today.

Even the nicest person's patience has a limit!

No. Absolutely wrong. Nobody has the "right" to play this game in safety. The only "right" is to be aware of risks and to take steps to mitigate them. No one in EVE has the "right" to be totally and perfectly exempt from conflict and destruction.

Also I know it was a sarcastic comment,


But this isnt a buff to highsec,


It's a nerf to the Villain "Meta", which in turn affects the Highsec PVE'ers.


Dude, it's a buff to HiSec.

Think about it.

Player corps will now be immune from AWOXers in HiSec.

It does sound then like removing AWOXing may be a good idea. Although removing 'bumping' would be game-breaking IMO.


What exactly would it break to remove bumping?

And now the awoxxers have to lose a catalyst to concord once in a while. The sky is surely falling!

Someone else gets it. One person screams that CCP is hold hands, another is pointing out that person's fallacies. Let's break it down.

1. High sec. No one is safe.
2. No PVP flag exists. CONCORD is a brake mechanism to prevent total chaos. War dec bypass that.
3. AWOX hide in high sec with the same protection as everyone else, but the is nothing in the entire game that says they get free kills via corporates they have infiltrated. Nothing...it's risk free PvP since CONCORD won't respond back.
4. ????
5. Profit! Loopholes are closed, null and low have no restriction, high sec has CONCORD and gank prevention via consequences, nobody gets to spout who has the correct play style. There is still no PVP flag for immunity, just humility now that you lose ships just as the gank target.

AWOX at best destroy the game because trust is more valuable than a plex, AWOX creates more paranoia than trust and they sure as hell do not lose that many ships compared to what they destroy...everybody is equal in that regard,


I like how the AWOXers are granted hyperagency while people who live in HiSec have hypoagency. In fact, their level of hypoagency is so extreme that the idea that they can shoot back isn't even factored! They're basically treated like scripted NPCs... very interesting. Since they have such a low level of agency, CCP should deffo hold their hands.

I'm ready to unsub my accounts basically any time at this point.

No point in staying subbed... once EVE goes themepark it'll go the way of all the other themepark MMOs.

In it's place some other small, niche, dark game will pop up to satisfy people who actually enjoy hard games without having their hands held.


There's a difference between facilitating enjoyable gameplay and allowing griefing pricks to be griefing pricks.

P.S. Can I haz your stuffs?


Sorry kid, but there's no such thing as "griefing" in EVE Online once you step out of the rookie systems, it's called "emergent gameplay". Go back to WoW.

I thought about this proposition long and hard before I posted.

"It's about hisec, so I don't care" is the best I can do, sorry.

Awox off gates and stations from now on, check. Carry on.

You seem highly upset over some internet pixel spaceship rule changes. Why don't you take a break, go for a walk or something, remember it's just a game and come back refreshed?

Everyone told me Eve was where the pvp happens.

So far it has turned out to be everyone in Null holding hands and when their palms get sweaty they hang in high-sec doing risk averse pvp.

Isn't the in thing to say is...."Leave high sec if you want pvp".......so funny on so many levels with the current state of Eve.

Yawn, meme, meme, meme, I've never had a unique thought, meme, meme, meme.

Please tell me how to think, I am but a sheep for memes.

Look at how clever I am, repeating memes that I copied from someone else who was repeating them from the meme machine generator of memeeememememememems.
