EVE General Discussion

Yup, the real ISK faucets are the nullsec sov themeparks.

If you want to try and claim that income consists only of raw isk, that would be true.

War decs are fine. If you find yourself unable to function during a war your corp or alliance is lacking one or more essential elements (plan, isk or PvPrs) something as simple as a bunch of alts using TS or a chat channel while deccers get bored, isk to hire some help to gank deccers with a well laid bait, or some PvPrs to do same.

Alternatively recruit some low sec people into corp or low sec corp into alliance instead of all high sec and go hang with them for a bit, if you choose wisely locals will likely be allies and more than happy to help.

From a CCP persepective I wouldn't care much about who exactly pays my bills or whether they understand what they're doing.

But I know nothing about real attrition to wardecs, just that I assume it's not as simple as you would like to make it (which seems to be the "everything great route").

*popcorn*

wars are broke :O ?

didnt some peoples claim highsec was to safe?

lol, I know that you really want that to be true, but no, I'm not angered by video games, especially when it;s the banning of software I don't use. Like I said in that thread, you're happy to settle with CCP avoiding game mechanic improvements, I'm not. They need to fix the problem of PvE mechanics being overly simplistic and too easy to scale with alts. The funny thing is I think you'd agree with that point of view if you started reading threads, but that would mean you have to spend 5 minutes without trolling.

Of course they intended it to be used, genius. But they certainly didn't intend for it to be used the way it is. They've made this abundantly clear and the tears you guys will shed when CCP make changes to the mechanics will be hilarious. It'll be your own fault though for not rationally discussing the problems and potential fixes of the system. Instead you keep going "I LIKE KILLING NOOBS KEEP IT AS IT IS", so you're providing no constructive feedback on it.

Yeah, my main industrialist gets no kills. Big surprise there.

And yeah, We'll certainly see. They've already spoken last year that wardec are in their sights for the future. I bet it will involve the entosis link.

OK...

You want easy kills. 47% of your killboard is made up of structures or ships incapable of returning fire, and no, that's not counting the 16% that are frigates. I'm not claiming to be an elite PvP MASTA, but then that's because I'm not interested in that playstyle. I gank a fair bit and I do a lot of trading, that's my playstyle. I'd much rather see mechanics change though to encourage people to socialise more than see mechanics like the wardec mechanics which actively push people into NPC corps.

You're a member of CODE. A group specifically designed to hassle noobs for tears. Are you're getting upset that someone's calling you out for exactly that?

At the end of the day, your crying that the tiniest of corps can evade wardecs. No matter how you spin it you need to HTFU mate. Grow a pair and dec people who have no interest in evading.

Wardecs are a broken mechanic. I know it, you know it and CCP damn sure knows it. They will be changing. You can either get on board and look realistically at how they can be changed to maintain a level of risk which adding much more reason for conflict or you can sit there crying about how evil the noobs are while changes get made around you.

Really? When did that change? Last I saw, CODE mainly went after ships that newbies simply can't fly.

How are they broken?

You're the one claiming they intended it to be used to gank noobs, so how about you sort out some proof of that one.

Better yet, watch what CCP does with wardecs once they do get around to changing them. Enjoy using your structure laser!

What game have you been playing? They primarily go after ships that take 8 days to train into, with a vast number of them going after shuttles, rookie ships and pods traveling through the pipes too.

They reward more for farming large numbers of easy targets rather than for taking on challenging targets. Because of this, most wardec groups go after non-PvP groups quite heavily, specifically looking out for people recruiting miners, industrialists and the like. What this leads to is the current status quo where groups who aren't just other wardec groups either stay really small or operate with NPC alts.

Take for example red-frog. They work exclusively with NPC haulers because if they were to try to operate as an alliance they'd have everyone and their uncle wardeccing them non-stop. I'd love to see the day when groups like that benefit from operating as a proper alliance and having to take care of their own security properly, and at the same time don't get instantly swamped and destroyed.

But remember, he is 110% totally not in any way an SJW type. So don't be misled by his choice of posting topics!
