It does'nt change the fact that CCP killed an emergent gameplay.

Let me ask, would that have been a solution when Fozzie sov came out and everyone in 0.0 was bitching about troll ceptors?
Just do something else? Give up?


Killing people in highsec isn't 'emergent gameplay', it's killing people in Highsec.

Sorry that a good change towards watch lists, that kills the opportunity for fights is preventing you from killing mission runners. You said the effort wasn't worth it anymore, I just suggested trying something else.

Yes. People also had free intel on if/when our supers or titans had logged in as well.

I'm not sure you understand what 'emergent gameplay' means.

Here you go. Roll

In the context of EVE, relying on a watchlist for free intel and running locates is just using mechanics in favor of your gameplay- Emergent Gameplay in this case would be things like HyperDunking, POS Bowling, Sun Bounces, etc. where you use the game's mechanics to produce an effect not exactly intended for those mechanics. I mean CCP is... questionable at times at understanding their own game rulesets so v0v.

However, there's still a dozen things people will pay you to do in HighSec (since you're so adamant on staying there)- just remember that they're hiring YOU to do tedious and often boring things and your return is a negotiated payment. If potential clients are questioning your prices, maybe it's on you to make yourself more marketable.

But have you read the results?

First hit:
"Emergent gameplay refers to complex situations in video games, board games, or table top role-playing games that emerge from the interaction of relatively simple game mechanics"

"Simple game mechanics", would in this case be the watchlist, right?

Edit: I see you added to your post..
Your examples would be more "Unintentional emergence"..

"Intentional emergence occurs when some creative uses of the game are intended by the game designers"

I stand corrected, however- semantics over a gameplay definition aren't really going to help you adapt to the current circumstances.

The mere thought of ganking someone makes us very sad. Isn't that right Ralph?

It's not something we've ever considered.

****ing griefers.

Ralph is going to peddle radioactive baby food in Jita and he's going to do it in a Kestrel.

That's my best guess.
