EVE General Discussion

I thoroughly enjoyed solo highsec wardeccing. Then CCP killed it.

Now, I drudge through highsec with naught a purpose but milking out isk however possible.

Woe is me...nah, I still find fun things to do.

Like murdering MTUs! *\o/*

Unless your desired gameplay consists entirely of sitting on a station undock in an industrial ship I'm personally not seeing how your gameplay was impeded by that.

Or do it properly and have bait for them to engage so you actually get to kill them. You'd think highsec PVP was rocket science going from how much trouble some people seem to have with it.

But you said all the guy did ia sit on a station. If that's actually all he does then he has no ability to kill your marauder or orca unless it's on that same station undock.

There were more bling boats in that engagement than an incursion

Seriously, highsec PVP has some serious bling boatery going on. The scammer group used a fleet of Sleipnirs. WTF?

It adds to my conclusion that the super uber leet above all and so superior that even out of game they are a master race highsec PVPer is in highsec for the exact same reason the horrible loser tard risk-averse carebears who are not even worth the air they breath are in highsec.

I'm glad at least to see AG begin to exploit no aggro/no consequence loopholes. Gankers will be joining the chorus they so hate, but they won't notice.

He's playing it smart. Either you undock something he can kill: then he will. If he can't kill it he will dock. He's save all the time. And you are toasted.

It's like a POS with a 24/7 timer. The enemy can choose when he wants to fight. If you have a fleet to defend he doesn't fight. He can wait cause after some time the fleet will go away. Or you will sit there like idiots 24/7 while he is doing whatever he wants because he can choose everything. Wardeccs need an active component that the attacker has to defend so that the decced get a chance to fight back.

Nothing is as emotionally scaring as seeing a lone ship undock, you in your Loki decided to shoot it, and the outcome being 20 Battleships coming out of the Amarr undock like liquid.


Edit: Will work multiple times. lol

Schrödinger's Cyno mightn't work in highsec but the psychology behind it definitely does

Relatively new player here, maybe graduated to junior assistant pilot trainee or something like that.

I find it rather odd that a post going so positive got railed down a road so negative. You guys are still arguing War Decs to ad nauseum.

If people really want fly a particular way, for the most part, you can. Changes may make it more expensive or more difficult to do, but we all have to adapt. Really, if it's not profitable any more, then you have to ask yourself WHY you like playing that way. It's possible some nerf to one thing completely killed your play style in collateral damage, but the reality is, it was likely considered in some fashion and done ANYWAY. If that's so, your play style might have be intentionally nerf'd for some reason. So consider adjusting the play style to either go more with the winds of change or fight them if you want. However, to keep the sailing metaphor, tacking against the wind is many times more effort for far little gain in distance. So do so knowing it will take vast amounts of effort for little progress.

I suggest a different approach. Try thinking about it in gain/loss terms. If you take out 100 War Decs at 50mil each, that's 5 billion in ISK. That buys a lot of seriously powerful small ships capable of suicide ganking. Now if you're after those Loot Piñata's, you will need to do your homework, War Dec the right corps and know the players habits, etc. Time for real Private Eye work.

If you are looking to make easy money off of HiSec, you are in the wrong section of space. It's low risk-low return and that's what CCP seems to want. They have consistently nerf'd anything with low risk-med/high return in HiSec... and I've only found ONE exception: Trading.

If you start making good ISK off of War Dec's they will nerf it. If it gets you nothing but frustration, then I think CCP is patting themselves on the back about doing a good job.

Look at the entire picture of the game and their moves make sense. They aren't out to get your play style, they are out to enforce their image of HiSec, LoSec and NullSec.
