Okay, what premises are you basing your assumption on? Smile


I'm gonna assume "hisec war is crap" and "Sov War is what they use to promote EVE" ?


Corp dodging wardecs is now a legitimate tactic. That seems like a poor forerunner to a highsec war patch.


Show them the worst then get a lot of applause for swooping in and fixing it all?

CCP - Building ant hills and magnifying glasses for fat kids

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

So as not to start another thread:

Why isn't there people using instant lock ships to pod kill reds as they come in from low and null sec?

That can be as boring as mining?


But honestly I never tried it. I once cheered a red as he escaped a station once, and that red then went on to smack-talk me, call me all kinds of names, and the usual fare that makes this game feel like an episode of the Jerry Springer Show sans cross-dressers. From that time, I have considered that it would be interesting to pop them instead.


From what I have read, it takes a seriously sensor-'ed up ship to instalock a pod, and perhaps with a fleet boost from a command ship too - but the latter I am not sure of. So I keep an eye out for advice on this topic.

IMHO, fukking other players against their will should imply a severe risk of being fukked by the rules.

fucking other players against their will is EVE's unique selling point.


Huh. And here I thought it was all about the spaceships, and how uniquely different Eve is from most every other MMO. But then again, what do I know?

I agree with half of your points. The war dec shields are great, gives breathing room to train newbies, take them on roams, let miners build up some ISK and so forth instead of letting every brat on the block kick your sand castle apart. Smile

Edit:
I see High Sec as an incubator, not just for new players but new corps and alliances too. Make it 100% safe for all that it matters. Mostly, all I see are those kids that want the easy kill there. Low, null and worm hole space should be where the real PVP occurs.


I'd be ok with 100% safe if L4 and incursions were removed to low sec. You can't have it both ways.
