"Hey guys, we want people to be actually out and using their space, so let's punish them for being out and using their space."

This idea isn't anything new and has never actually been good.

So throw out the bad idea and step back. What's the goal, what's the reasoning? People should be rewarded for being out and using their space, but there should be "content". What's "content" mean here? PvP, of course. That's what it always means in this context, right?

So movement is good, because movement means taking gates, and you're never quite sure what's on the other side of the gate. Or you are, because your pals are out, flying around, skirmishing with intruders and providing you with intel. Either way, movement good. But degrading the quality of a system to induce movement, that's bad. So what to do? Implement missions, perhaps. Simple answer, boring answer, but it gets the job done.

No reason it has to be exactly missions of course. Residents install an Alliance Command Hub in each system which, among other things, directs pilots to newly discovered pirate incursions. "Sorry pilot, the Serpentis have withdrawn from the system to lick their wounds, but they've launched a new incursion two systems away. I've added a bookmark to your journal; good luck." Get there, wipe out your very own incursion - two Serpentis Forsaken Hub and a Serpentis Haven - and you've beaten them back, have to go somewhere else.

Of course because this is a game and because we want to maintain a fairly high population density (as people with friends nearby are more likely to group up and fight back instead of just hide) the fact that the system is depleted for you doesn't necessarily mean it's depleted for a corpmate. He shows up twenty minutes later and has two or three sites to himself, as does the next fellow ten minutes after that and so on. Thus infinite PvE content for an arbitrary number of people to be able to live in an area, yet content that obliges those people to move around and be content.



And this is part of the function of the CSM. We're not game designers, no, but when CCP comes to you and goes "What do you think of _______, it's supposed to accomplish _______" tackle it objectively, think like the player you are, and imagine how it might be broken, might fail because we players do the damndest things.

My suggested ballot will likely go up tomorrow at Evenews24.com
