Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Good **** awoxing, coward gameplay. If you want to brawl hit me up in corp chat and we will undock and brawl.

Let me preface this by saying I think the entire idea undermines the core values of EVE.

CCP always goes on and on about meaningful gameplay and choices. Well where is the meaningful gameplay or decisions in effectively allowing highsec corps to be 100% safe simply by checking a box.

Why wouldn't every corp in highsec check it?

What is the counter play to it?

As others have also mentioned it removes all the gameplay elements involved in vetting and trusting a new corp member in highsec, while deleting an enjoyablestyle of play

go back to wow if you want consensual pvp

There's no condition under which I could accept this.

One of the unique attributes of eve is that it provides no safety mechanisms for interpersonal interaction. Guilds in WoW don't background check their members, because the worst a member can do is spam chat and maybe not heal at an important moment.

In eve, the worst a member can do is destroy your corps entire ISK making backbone (I once saw Psychotic Monk do a quality awox where he got a freighter and half a dozen mackinaws in a belt), and so we background check new members.

Well, we did. No need to worry about that Awoxing Pizzaspy McShootsblues guy. He seems a bit sus, but we've got FF turned off so whatever, he can't do anything.

Yes, this game concept has some downsides, but it's core to the concept of eve. Trust no one, watch your back and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Scrapping it would be a mistake.

LoL whats ur K:D ratio brah?

At least I don't have to join up with corps to gank unexpecting people and call it Peeveepee.

1337Sauce mate.

Soon i will be starting a corp with an empty alt. Recruitment will be open to anyone, and everyone. I will also be spamming noob systems and markets with my corp ads claiming to be the god of eve who can save you from wardecs, gankers and give you free stuff.

all aps will be accepted. 10% tax.

You dont need to be active.
You dont need to be sociable (in fact pls dont).
You dont need to work together with us.
I dont care what you do and in fact prefer if it has nothing to do with me.
I wont teach you about the game.
I wont help you if you're in trouble.
If we get decced, ill go on 'holiday' or be 'busy at work' but you should still mission so you can make money. Thats the crux of your life right?
The free stuff i promised you will be paid from corp tax, but we need to build up my corp wallet a bit first.

I know 99% of corps will be like this, but you should really join my one because my empty alt is the god of eve. Why would you know any better? you're a noob and like i give a **** what the NPE is like when i get free isk from the influx of gullable WoW players.

'lawl'

They will and what they will do is invite new players into the game get them missing in a navy BS then blow it

this doesn't remove awoxing all it does is put all of the risk on the person joining rather than the corp

AWOX started out in amarr militia dunking people in caldari militia because he appears as a purple and used that to his advantage, also only standings loss with caldari (which didn't matter because he was amarr). Where he went after that who knows but it was just another example of poorly thought out game mechanics.

'high sec awoxing' was years overdue for an overhaul, it was basically an exploit.

No, spies will, depending on implementation, simply be blocked from getting kills OR be exactly like suicide gankers.

There is no risk.

can you tell me what good will come from taking AWOXing out? What does this do other than enable NPC alts to have corp tax and assets then obscure corps that are interested in actual group play?
