EVE General Discussion

Seriously. It's like people will may have to leave High Sec for better PVP opportunities. 'Sup with that?

Is this like you cant shoot your corp mate because settings are at green.

Or you can but you will get concorded?

The times i shoot my self and spread space aids not good not!

What I always find funny in these situations is that the people who are happy about it are always so clueless.

After the exhumer buff, the gankers retaliated and killed MORE mining ships. After the change to freighters gankers killed MORE freighters. after CCP changes a 'safety' mechanic in high sec, the ganking community rallies, adapts and makes things WORSE for the people celebrating.

It's mainly because the 'safety' types don't understand who they are dealing with. The way to make gankers not exist isn't artificial game mechanics changes from on high (ccp), it's individual effort and awareness and not crying when blown up because lots of gankers do it for the lulz/tears. It's like the safety types are Darth Vader and can't help but make obi wan more powerful than they can imagine (lol).

But that's not how the 'safety' crowd things, so the cycle will continue. The 'safety' carebear crowd will crow about the friendly fire thing like it's a victory, the ganker crowd will retaliate with MORE ganks/awoxes, scamms, which will lead to ever more calls for CCP to increase high sec safety. It's a vicious and stupid cycle lol.

Those of us who already take individual action (tanking our ships, being aware and at the keyboard, making friends, using the already existing in-game tools to neutralize the gankers before they even log in) and almost never get ganked are the ones who won't be affect at all by any change.

There are probably a million ways to get your ass'ets destroyed in eve

Not running short on death and destruction anytime soon...

Nerfing AWOX .. Nope

Adding consequence if you want to AWOX .. Yes

Did you plan on Awoxing newbie carebear corps and saying : "Mkay..thanks..bye noobs" ?
Awww so sorry they ruined it for you. Carebear safe self proclaimed PvPers are worse than actual carebears.

Hasn't been implemented yet.

It's funny how you say this, yet the gankers complain just as much. Just because they also throw their little tantrums by going out and blowing up more ships, it doesn't mean they aren't equally as tearful over basically every change. CODE exists in it's entirety because James 315 has had a tantrum lasting several years over old mining barge changes, and the swarm of players that descend with insults and trolling into every "carebear" thread are basically the same type of player.

But you are probably right in one respect. People will complain about gankers and awoxers getting an easy ride (which they do), CCP will make a change, gankers will cry and gank more to get their own back and the cycle continues. All the time people can prove that escalating the frequency and volume of ganks is trivial, they are proving that there's a balance issue there and CCP will continue to address it. So people whining against this change only have themselves to blame.

At the end of the day though, this change is coming in because CCP believes it will help encourage players to more freely recruit newbies thus getting more newbies into the game. Many people agree. It's happening, so quit whining about it.

As a reminder before closing this thread, the ability to awox is being left alone and you have to actively disable it before it will have consequences. Yay!

Thread closed.
