Thats just one of them thats more eloquently written.

Im talking pre-spacebook-days.

I've spent enough time in WHs to know that most nullsec carebears do not want the massive expenditure in time and energy and loss of income to play a game. If they were, they'd be in wormholes, where the rewards are higher than they are in nullsec.

Very few people do. And a big reason is there is no local there.

That means you have to fit a scanner to find any wts - which not only gimps your ship but is more of a hassle than anything fun. You can't quickly tell if there is even anyone there let alone anyone to fight. You can't tell if there is a blob there cloaked and ready to gank you. You can't pve there without hitting the dscan button like some sort of OCD imbecile.

These are only a few of the reasons 93% of eve subscribers prefer to play eve where there is a local.

I'm sorry....but find this preferable.....I may not like it personally myself...but that is why i still play this game...its a challenge...its unpredictable to a point.

This particular change in local is just that much better.

I lived in WHS for 2 to 3 months straight....and I loved every day of it....local hides all...your treating it as if your the one at risk.

That means you have no business there if your not prepared to take the risks on.


People who can't handle that....shouldn't be playing this game. There are ways to detect if someone is tracking you..scanning you down.

It's not a hassel...I call it survival....get backup...a defense fleet...people to help protect and gaurd..watch.

All to often everyone runs off in a massive fleet train and leave behind their home base wide open to attack.

This is a game breaking reallity to me...but it happens none-the-less.

Forcing you to be everviligent...to work hard for your efforts in game is just as every bit as fun for me...as it is for rewards.


Local is practicually the "I-win" button...so long as you know that person is there...you can deny them the target/satisifaction of getting their objective.

Vice versa...they see you too...and have to make decisions based on what they see.

Take that away....it just suddenly became a crap shoot....hope you dont roll snake eyes.

What is this 93% figure you keep mentioning? Where is this? What proof do you have?


Do the bulk of people play in high sec?

Yes...but high sec is not the subject of issue here...its 0.0

You need to check your facts and read before you respond in the future.

Carebears who dont like this stuff will live in high sec...not elsewhere.

For them to believe they can "carebear" without fear or reprisals in 0.0/WHS are seriuosly delusional indeed.

Check the QENs

About 7% percent of players decide to go live in no local worm holes. If my figure are accurate will you agree that it is a bad Idea to force this on everyone?


Also your saying you would keep local in low sec and high sec?

And what are your shittastic ideas all about? Seems to be turning EVE ever further into Space WoW'

Just come out and say it Zim, you want PvE to be completely insulated from PvP outside of gross stupidity.

I've already given you an answer for your fear of turning Null Sec further into a desert.... make High Sec much more dangerous or much less profitable. But you don't seem to like that, even High Sec Incursions seems to be something sacred to you, that shouldn't be changed.

Your reading ability is impeccable. I've said that if you are going to change hisec incursions, then reduce the payout, but do not remove or move it from hisec, because it's the best way to train hisec dwellers in group flying, without actually losing ships left, right and center.

I, personally, am all for making hisec less profitable, but again, you have to consider the effects it'll have on a game population which has come to expect the payout they get in hisec. If anything, I would assume it'd be much more successful to actually up the rewards in nullsec.


Jesus Christ, you did not just say that. You should be ashamed of yourself for saying that.


There's a reason it's "ignored". It normally ends up being awful ideas, like all "remove local" ideas are.

Bye. Don't let the forum unlog button hit you on your way out.

I, too, want to be forced to load all the portraits for everyone in the constellation every time I decloak.
