Crime & Punishment

Nope, it means ANY risk averse guy, with or without support stockings and adult diapers.
Just look at this thread, awoxing got a little bit harder and how your oh-so-tough guys cry and whine "this is the end of eve" and "i will leave..."
. Not to mentions that *this* change matters in hisec only...


it doesnt get any more teary and carebeary

I'd like to make mining "a little bit harder" by adding a captcha for each cycle of each laser. Or maybe make missions "a little bit harder" by creating waiting rooms for agent offices, in which applicants must wait for hours while filling out double-digit-page forms/questionnaires.

After Captcha Miners must complete a mathematical puzzle in order to unlock the loot spew first me thinks. That way, EVE encourages smart gameplay rather than simple mechanics, We are the Elite MMORPG players, ameyerite?

Pretty sure CCP have considered mining mini-games as far as way back but decided to hunt RMTers (not entirely successfully) instead.

Also, since when did C+P start moaning about hisec changes? That is what the majority of this thread seems to be. Use your own normal mantra and "adapt or die". Convo the guy who said "Its not gone, just harder". Welcome to Eve.

To the guy who said there is "no need for AWOXING" ... you are so wrong. "Awoxing" in it's wider definition has caused huge one time losses of isk, breakdowns of corporations and alliances, one full scale nullsec civil war, and two instances of sov-drop that pretty much ended (for a time) dynastic alliances that I can remember.

Overall, and people in this thread are no exception, most of Eve seems to forget there is no aspect of Eve that is NOT PvP. Where there is competitive activity, there is PvP. PvP is not just about shooting ships and pods, its everything, everywhere. The diversity of methods at hand is only limited by a player's imagination. If you only think you have one way to achieve something, you don't know this game.

It's your turn to adapt.

Better yet, move the good belts and missions toward low/null sec. Hi sec should be reserved for activities that consume materials and ISK, like research, manufacturing and trade, and of course getting new players started. Activities that generate significant raw materials and ISK should be in PvP-unsafe space, with risk in proportion to the potential reward. This would move more current hi sec residents toward low/null, where you can awox to your heart's content regardless of corp CONCORD flags.

awoxxing was a horrible mechanic which made no sense and is rightly on the way out. The next topic that needs to be addressed is the proliferation of out of control wardeccs.

You can always suicide gank. There should be no consequence free nonconsensual PvP in highsec.

Wars are actually the most consequential form of pvp in high-sec. I'm saying this as someone who's conducted a few hundred of them. You literally pay money for your targets to hire almost-free allies (10m versus 50m+ war fee) and then disband the corporation, leaving you at war with people who aren't your targets.

Yes ccp are making this game too easy for lazy retards. Not good!

Most people here are pissed off not because they are changing it, but rather, because the change has no negative cost to the corp who decides to turn off Awoxing. It necessarily positively affects a group of players, while negatively affecting another group of players.

Its no different from CCP suddenly giving all Amarr ships a substantial armor buff across the board, without giving any additional penalties, or applying any buff to the other 3 factions. Its called Balancing, and theres no balance in simply allowing a corp to flip a switch and turn off Awoxing with no added negative effects.

If you specialized in Caldari, trained up all your caldari ship skills to 5, had nearly maxed out missile skills, had perfect sheild skills, and then tomorrow, suddenly CCP makes a change that favored amarr, that utterly dwarfed the other 3 races and made it so that you need to have 5 ships with T2 fittings in order to take down one amarr ship with Meta fittings, would you be fine if someone just told you "Its your turn to adapt"? Would you be fine with someone if they said "Hey, you can still fly Caldari and kill an amarr ship, itll just be harder"?
