Warfare & Tactics

Why hide your game identity then ask people to take you seriously?

Points can be valid but still ill informed. I would suggest yours are the latter. Therefor your experience and perspective is actually important.

Dont see any evidence of that.

And I don't see any evidence that your "perceptions are very likely" either, since you are contradicting yourself from one sentence to another.

Let me lay this out for you El Taron. You are complaining about people using OGBs and being risk adverse, yet by using a forum alt you are also being risk adverse. And before you ask, or make some remark about me doing the same; this is my main.

I dont think anyone in this thread has argued for keeping the system as it is. Not a single person afaik.

You seem to have the reading comprehension of a cabbage.

Then lets just abolish skillpoints?

Why? because you arbitrarily decided which barriers are ok and which arnt?

EVE is marketed as a multiplayer game. Most new players dont join and expect to be able to compete alone. Saddo purists who think that 'solo' is the holy grail do more to damage new players by giving them the impression that the game is unbalanced. When in reality, its just unfair, until you make it unfair in your favor.

Multiple accounts is not pay to win. Pay to win implies paying real life money to make your in-game character more powerful than otherwise possible. It puts the play to win player on a different playing field. Nothing in Eve does that today. Buying ISK with PLEX and multiple accounts does give a player an advantage in that they have a built in wingman and don't have to grind isk as much. However, that advantage is easily overcome by anybody in the game who puts forward the effort to make friends or put in the time to grind isk.

There is a limit to how many accounts a multiboxer can handle (w/o something like isboxer). If I am running two accounts vs your 1, then I have the advantage. If you have 2 people vs my 2 accounts, then you have the advantage since you can fly better since my attention is split between 2 ships.

IMHO, the only problem with boosters is that people are using them as a hidden advantage to claim they are "better" when they crush your ship "solo" with the hidden fact that they are using drugs, have high grade implants, and a booster. With two relatively simple fixes, we probably solve 90% of the problem links impose at the solo/micro gang level.

1. Putting the booster on a killmail as doing 0 damage against anybody that is shot by a fleet member who has active links on them.
2. Transfer flags from activating a link module, just as is done for remote repair modules (ie reuse the same code applied to remote reps for links and assume the links "hit" every player in the fleet below them)

Elite "solo" pvpers will have their killboards shattered and links will be forced into safe spots where certain individuals enjoy probing and murdering boosters. I am probably the prime candidate for it. I hated links because I was tired of losing "solo" fights to people with links. So, I got my own links with the intention of not using them unless the other person had links or I was fighting outnumbered. Instead, I "cheated". I tried to not use them, but I tend to turn them on if I am losing the fight. This is the same problem I ran into when I started dual boxing characters. My intention was to have two characters looking for fights, but I ended up warping the second character into fights I was losing. This wasn't as bad for the losing party, because at least they knew they lost because they fought outnumbered. They can even be happy about it, because they knew they were winning and the other side had to call in "the blob". The same thing will happen if links go on the killmail.

In game currency cannot be bought with real life cash.

It seems you misunderstand every term you use.
