EVE General Discussion

I think it is you that is confused, but that is situation normal.

Beginning from Retribution (Dec 2012) when destroyers were rebalanced, if you go through each change made to the game that either benefits ganking (assigning +1 for easier ganking) or makes it harder (assigning -1 for more difficult), then you can actually see the evidence yourself objectively whether things have been balanced or not,

So starting with a +1 for the destroyer rebalance in Retribution and coming to the latest change, even allowing for some differences in opinion, over the last 3 1/2 years, the balance is around the -8 mark.

That's not balance. That's nerf.

That is a simplistic measurement which has no value, the scale is stupid.

I never said I was a victim, I just like watching the bad guys. As a miner, bumping and ganking increases my bottom line. when people get bumped or ganked in an area repeatedly they move on. so there is more ore or ice for me in that area. I always watch local, d-scan and dock up when AFK so I don't get ganked.

as for playing wow I played for 8 year on PVP servers doing mostly battle grounds or world pvp.

I have only been playing eve for about 5 months and started out a high sec miner. One of the things that attracted me to eve was that it was pretty much what I expected of space from all the scifi books I read full of good guys and bad guys and that space is not a safe place. One of the things I found out right away was about 1/2 the players in space were not engaged in the game. There would be an ice belt with 30 people in it, but no one was really there. Their ships just mining away while they did stuff in real life. I almost fell into the same trap but then I met the pirates, as I later found out where called gankers in this game, mercs and griefers. At first I was like these guys are jerks to put it nicely. The more I watched them blow up people the more I realized they are forcing people to stay engaged in the game. At the same time I watched CCP make changes to hamper the high sec content creators and cater people to people that are not actively engaged while undocked. How does that help a healthy community?

so my question is why does it seem like CCP wants to stop or make close to impossible all non PVE highsec content when players have tons of in game tools avoid dying like d-scan, local chat, kills in system on map, etc...?

It's an objective measure that anyone can confirm that removes the personal biases we each have.

You can call it simplistic, but that stems from your own inability to understand it as well as a bias to dismiss anything that doesn't comply with what you believe, which is normal for you, even though you are often wrong.

Be your own content creator. Stop being a carebear and expecting others to create content for you.

EDIT: I am perhaps being a bit harsh with you because I do recognise them as content creators and add fun, however I can tell you bluntly that the mechanics have been to their benefit for a long time and to such a degree that it is almost laughable. Do you have any idea how easy these people had it?

So basically you've just listened to their propaganda and have no clue about the real meta, since the gankers do their best to obfuscate it and paint themselves as super hard working victims constantly.
That or your a shill alt of a ganker pretending to be new to gander some sympathy, like magically happens every single other 'nerf' to ganking.
