Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I'd be willing to bet ISK that a corporation with its AWOX settings turned to "Disable" will still be vulnerable to suicide ganks by corp members rather than the ships becoming untargetable and/or unshootable/invincible to corp members, especially since that would almost certainly make it equally impossible to use logi on them.

You must admit - or even if you don't want to admit it you must realize - that all this so-called tripe you're worried about is already playing EVE even right now. Where are they? They're in the starter NPC corps where the rookies end up, which is the last place they should be. If a change like this gets even 1% of that tripe out of the rookie corps (regardless if they end up in not-rookie NPC corps) then IMO that's a massive victory for new players everywhere. Yes it does mean there will be more nonsense corps and it means that corps might be "cheapened" somewhat (I disagree, but that's not the point) but we've got so many terrible "mining, missioning and manufacturing" corps already that I doubt the difference will really be that noticeable. At the very least, tripe will attract tripe and the wardec corps will find themselves staring at a monumentally larger field of potential prey. In a slightly more ideal scenario those prey corps will be large enough to feel like they can fight rather than dec-evading and continuing to be tripe.

It also means that there will potentially be somewhat fewer voices of risk-aversion in the chat channels where those newbies spend their first impressionable moments meeting people and asking how to fly their ship. Moments that could be better used for guiding them toward the path of pew and/or scooping them up into a corporation that does something other than the ubiquitous "3 Ms".

There will still be vetting and pilot evaluation in highsec's post-awoxing future. Not all "good" corps will turn awoxing off, and the ones that do will still have to evaluate if the pilot they've taken in is worthwhile or tripe.

I just sit in station making bank.

There is no evidence to suggest that the recent rumored recession of subs has anything to do with AWOXing. More than likely it was the 'blue donut' {the opposite of AWOXing lol) that did that.

While CCP may have a financial agenda behind this change, your hypothetical questions was based upon a gross misconception.

I would like to hear his take on this to be honest

I agree, I would like to read his comments about this.
However the bottom line still remains the same he works for CCP and whatever they want for this game will be what happens no matter what his personal beliefs are.

But we tell all the players that to enjoy the game they need to get into a player run corp, not stay in an NPC corp. So by this point we will be actively encouraging them to play with others that wont provide a 'good' experience. It'd be like they never left an NPC corp as far as social experiences are concerned..

so this doesn't affect you at all then?

Nope but its fun to see the whine from folks who will lose out on easy ganks. Way better thanthe tears from folks they gank thats for sure.

If you're only here to fan the flames, see whining and collect "tears" I must insist that you STFU and GTFO this thread.
