EVE General Discussion

Translation?

You seem really angry about people on the CSM belonging to 0.0 alliances.

I would say being deeply invested in any political structure, or style of gameplay might make the position more a personal soapbox than a community representive. Even if they are completley fair and neutral in there discharge of there responsiblites accusations will always flie, marring the whole concept of company - player intermidaries

I like the idea of CSM, but I don't think the community should elect them, candidates should apply to CCP and they should choose candidates based upon what they want feedback on in the next year. Theres no point in there being a jita trader on the board because he was elected if CCP want to know about 0.0 FCing and vice versa. They should be selected by experience and field of expertise by CCP not have the CSM used as an EVE 'prom queen' contest.

Just my 0.02 isk worth anyhow.

Anyway the Op raises an interesting question, browse the forums and you can see tons of complains, about WH/Lvl4/sanctum/incursion provide way too much isk and ppl crying for nerf or not.

A simple Blog explaining within a timeframe (last month as example) about where the *isk* movements are generated it's just interesting, so everyone can see wich % of the total isk created per month it's generated and where it moves in a general basis.

of course null is poor, do you have any idea what the screwheads down here charge for a cane?

I would make other question. For me more important..

where is more fun to be had

wh/null/low/high

well,you tell me


i am a carebear ,sometimes roams with some friends into zero (still being a easy target)

oow i am loving to be that easy target


so i have fun in high and in zero lately

That'd work great - if eve didn't have alts and if you didn't travel from one end of eve to the other in a matter of seconds.

How do you deem who lives in 0.0 or highsec? Do you have to own space to be in 0.0? Many of the major alliances have investment or holding corps not in the alliance, based in the tradehubs of empire - should they not be included? What about merc corps living in empire one week, lowsec next and 0.0 the third, but have most of their assets in a wormhole?

Hell, I hold isk for a large amount of players in all places of eve, does that mean that I'm richer and they're poorer just because I never leave highsec?

The Answer is Here

I live in Nullsec, my Corp's HQ is in Hisec (per game requirements), most of my Jump Clones are in hisec (too lazy to set up clones all around my home area. I generate isk from both High and Nullsec, and spend isk in both areas. Most of that isk gets pooled up at some point or another before being used. Pooled Isk is probably stored as a normal number. So, CCP can't track isk movements like you think they can.

As for giving Null resources, Hisec should not be able to generate as much/more income than Null (not counting Industry and Market trading, because those can never be made more profitable for null due to ::reasons::). Null has logistical challenges and requires work to maintain territory (not saying it's unsafe, that's a whole different flame war), and should have higher income potential because of that.

I never said Null was safer/more dangerous than High/Low. I specifically specified that I wasn't arguing that. I said that Null provides Logistical Challenges and the expense (time, isk, and materiél) of building, maintaining, and defending Sov.



Buffing Null and Nerfing High are (roughly) equivalent. (Disclaimer: Buffing things in an ever increasing spiral up is probably bad game design)

Suppose right now, $1 buys a Pie, and I can earn $1 in high and $1 in null. You get the following change options:

Earn $1 in high, $2 in null, but Pie costs $2

Earn .50$ in high, $1 in null, and Pie still costs $1

Which do you pick?



As to alliances, Sov null is about building empires. If the empires have figured out how to form stable powerblocs while still providing enough pew to keep the PvP junkies happy, this (mostly) stable situation is what is pretty much guaranteed to happen.
