EVE General Discussion

OK, I'll bite.

So you are in a mining corp, how do you protect your self from a "10 Hour Hero".

You could have a PVP toon on stand by at all times. Sure. Would you as a player like to spend your time guarding a couple of Miners for hours on end with little or no reward? Mining makes way less than missioning so the same PVP toon could make way more by doing other things. Even in Null sec you hardly ever find dedicated mining protection ships let along in HS because of this factor.

You could screen your members. So you ask for the API. they have been in the game for a day and have some skills, no corp history, no kill board nothing. How do you differentiate them from a newb?

You could only accept older player who have a clean API. This does not guaranty against Awoxing but it helps a lot. However this is the issue CPP is trying to counter, they want Newbs in corps not only older player.

Are there any other ways to protect yourself? Why not let us know?

Rather than having a rage let us know why you deserve these kills, how much effort you have put in and how much worse the player base will be. Maybe if CCP had a good counter argument that might listen.

Edit

I have never been awoxed I can just see how it might have put off other player. I nearly quiet eve on my first day after being killed 3 times in the newb system by a person in the newb help chat and being a newb I did not even know that its not allowed.

Hallelujah!

If and when this happens, it will be a good thing. As would anything that is designed to retain new players.

Bottom line, we need new blood. The old guard, is just that. Old and bitter. We need new players to bring new ideas and content into this game. I would love to be able to travel across the EVE universe and have players in every system.

Players that are against this are just against change in general and don't see the larger picture.

IMHO

This is one of the best things happened to EVE ever, and it should have happened a long time ago. ******** hisec faggotry like this has costs far too many subscriptions, and it has to end.

Please fix wardecs and suicide wanking next.

Come on, we all know good and well you will STILL have to manually change your risk settings to yellow or red and click "Are you sure you want to be a moron and commit suicide to concord?" button before you can do any of that.

Back on topic: A great change, and long overdue.

ITT: Option to press a button == only possible recourse.

CCP disagrees. Apparently stopping people from shooting noobs is a good idea. I would tend to agree with them.

Adapt or perish, the choice is yours.

In other words HTFU.

All three at once, or one at a time...that's real depth there...suicide gank, war dec gank...come out to LS (LSMFT - Lucky Strike means finer tobacco).

You know, when you add up the immense list of game activities the "non-carebears" have on hand it has two, maybe three things on it, but they talk about it like it's the entire reality on steroids. I find that odd. Don't you find that odd?
I guess Awoxing was important to them. Having a list with four things on it makes your list look pretty....important!
And, we all know, non-carebears are NOTHING if not IMPORTANT, RIGHT GANG????

CCP should check their assumptions. Stopping people from shooting noobs in Counter Strike would ruin the game. I claim the same is true for EVE, since this is a PvP game after all.

The problem is how the game misleads people into a false sense of security that will eventually be broken.
