EVE General Discussion

Ok, and once you've chased the high-sec players out of EVE to Elite or other upcoming games, how do you expect CCP to keep the doors open with the fraction of the playerbase that remains subscribed?

This isn't 2003-2004 where EVE was the only reasonable one of its kind, and in addition, EVE can't stay up on venture capital alone now as is often the case when a new major project is starting. It's too old for that phase.

It amazes me these players that hate CCP who clearly want to see Eve die, and they come up with pap like remove hisec and pretend its for the good of Eve.

What they really mean is something along these lines.

CCP removed can flipping.

Can flipping allowed them to trick people into combat where it was like raping a baby, they got their kicks from this, total no risk PvP.

CCP eventually realising that it was mainly occurring to new players stops it and instead creates a very good system around suspect baiting, these players then cry about PvP being nerfed because they cannot kill easy prey for zero risk because someone better then them may come after them when they go suspect.

So bring back can flipping they chant, Eve has been made easy blah blah blah, in fact what has happened is that Eve has been made tougher for them, cry more please...

Kinda makes you face palm that, at least they should be honest how useless they are!!! Sorry personal honesty is not something they do, I bet they lie to themselves

There are 20+ regions of empire space, taking away 200 backwater high sec systems wouldn't change a thing to most high sec dwellers. Changing 2 systems from high sec to low sec between Jita and Amarr would make things very interesting.

As far as shrinking high sec further, I saw numbers (somewhere) that most players live within 10 jumps of a major trade hub. I live in high sec space, 23 jumps from a major hub. There are 8 systems in the constellation I live and most days there are less than 10 players in those systems combined. Great mining, lvl 4 missions, pi etc..., just a lot of players can't be bothered to travel that far.

I really can't see Null sec expanding either. When I lived there it was MUCH safer than high sec and boring as hell, with the only excitement created by wh dwellers. Most systems around me were empty and I can't see how more null sec systems would make things better.

I think the OP has presented an interesting idea. You can tell by the intelligence level of the responses he's struck a nerve. (I wonder how many are "gainfully employed" by you know who....now something we'll always have to wonder.)

It's like asking a restaurant to do something about all those empty tables. Some folks just can't help but continue to imagine that crowd filling the hall ... the promise of tomorrow. Tomorrow doesn't keep its promises
if you don't keep yours today.

Don't look for MMO owners to do anything that makes but one kind of $en$e to them. Instead, watch
Treasure of the Sierra Madre to figure out how people get that funny look in the eye.

I'm not in denial, I just do not agree with your standpoint. At all.

Besides that, there is not so much wrong with singing. Even 'La-la-la'. Although yes, you might want to shut your ears when I do so.

Actually having thought about it, hows about an expansion that 'alters the map' ... considerably. Remove this 'North / South' concept and go for a Universe that's got a bit more 'Y axis' going for it. Perhaps go 'completely ball shapped' or even 'wraps at the edges' (Cylinder).

That'll get the result of making things feel closer, but not really alter the map (as the connections will remain via 'gates', not proximity). Will offer up more options for those using caps as well. So there's a bunch of whiney kids decked out with Icecream and a cherry on top :P

There would still be plenty of high sec systems that need to be CODEd. Stop pandering.



Why? Do you actually use all of the ~thousand high sec systems? High sec is supposed to be crowded, that is the point. Reducing how many there are doesn't change anything for you... unless you are just one of those players who needs an imaginary net to feel safe. Anyone, whom knows anything about EvE, knows high sec is the most dangerous space in the game.

I for one think you should thank me for wanting more safe space.

this is mega AWESOME

high sec ZONEs split by LOW sec

No

No! This is a space-game. There needs to be space - even more preferably, definitely not less!
