Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Nope, I haven't missed the point, you claiming I have doesn't make it so.
You are trying to paint a picture as the removal of intra corp aggression exceptions removing 'all' AWOXing and destroying all these exceptional news articles that generate advertisement for EVE.

However that's a blatant lie, as none of those AWOX incidents that have generated news articles would have been affected by it anyway.
All that is affected by it are those who rely on cheap game mechanics and need an exception from the standard rules of play. Complexity is not always good, and there is no reason to have exceptions to security level rules simply because you share a corp. So while I'm certain you 'could' make a workable system where you go suspect for shooting a corp member, there is actually no good reason other than preserving cheap game play that bypasses standard rules.

As all the 'good' and newsworthy AWOXing is unaffected by making the rules the same for everyone. (in a given security area)

The issue is that one man corps are still a thing. You can get all the benefits of a real corp with none of the risk already.

Please quote me where i said that.

or read what i said properly and realise, you have actually missed the point.



cheap gameplay, sure.

the depth of trust and betrayal in a corp, the player interactions, the difference between good corp recruitment and bad corp recruitment, the drama, the taste of what eve is about.

its inspiring, emotional and it doesnt matter how much SP you have, or what your wealth is. Its all about who you are and how you conduct yourself. The only time its cheap (aside from risk free RR, that is very cheap) is when the target corp makes it effortless by being greedy, disorganised or complacent. But if you screen recruits, engage the members of your corp, take care what you expose to certain players, you cant call it cheap when they earn your trust and use it against you.

But you want it gone why? So you can level up your raven in complete safety and skim money off of other peoples work whether you engage them or not? cause theres no other reason you'd want it other than to let total strangers you couldnt be bothered to run a background check or monitor into your corp. You dont like having to be careful because its too much hardwork.

It sure as **** does not help new players, who may be auto accepted into a player corp but then find the CEO doesnt really give a **** as long as the noob contributes to corp tax (Aka the CEO's second wallet). Where noobs are told that player corps are the way forward in the game, they'll instead find even more worthless corps than there are now (which is a lot!).

What actually becomes cheapened by removing hi-sec AWOXing is being part of a corp, as CEO's spam recruitment channels with invitations and blindy accept any application with little or no regard for the applicant. And why not? skim some tax for your pocket, no risk, little effort.

These are some very good reasons to keep hi-sec AWOXing in the game. You know your bro is your bro because he doesnt shoot you when he so easily could. cheap indeed.

But im glad you admit theres no reason we cant just make corp lites and deal with AWOXing using crimewatch.

I get tired of being called a lair because my game experiences do not match yours or someone elses, perhaps you could learn to be a better citizen of the forums and use a more appropriate phrase something like "It has been my experience", or "all of the corps I have seen".

This response does bring up a question though, how do you define a corp as being "worth anything"?


There are multiple ways to describe a casual gamer and staying with a game for long periods of time in and of itself does not make one a hard core gamer.

I never said the casual gamer players were most likely to "stay" with the game please read posts before responding. I stated that the casual gamer players are the ones most likely to pay for their game time. Here is the segment of the post in question.
