Missing the point, perhaps I am to blame for that.
You cannot touch my market character physically as in to blow them up because they NEVER leave the NPC stations they are in.
Financially, based on the way I play the market game there is no way you can hurt me either. This has allowed me to play the markets and compete with others from a position of 100% safety both physically and financially and I have been doing this since 2009. If you choose to get greedy and go for the huge scores on the markets and open your self to financial loss that is your choice, but it does not change the fundamental fact that you can sit in a station in 100% safety and PvP till your hearts content.

Getting back to the battle areas.
In the long run these offer noting but potential positive changes for this game.
Potential for more sales of stuff on the markets.
Potential to move players currently entrenched in the PvE aspects to a more active PvP(traditional blow stuff up definition).
List could continue but I will stop here for now because out of time.
And in exchange for all these potentials to change the game in a positive way we have to give just one very small concession to the not safe anywhere or anytime premise. Considering that the only time these players would be safe from outside interactions is when they are in the battle area, I say let's give them a try and see what happens.

If there is no risk to you in any way, how can you categorize what you are doing as PVP. The V between the Ps dictates at least the possibility of loss. As I stated earlier, playing the markets and 'winning' isn't combat. Thank you for agreeing with me. You're playing against the market. You can't compel anyone to do anything.

In PVP I can force another player to slow down (web), not flee (point/scram), blow up (accumulate damage) and so on AND (the V between the Ps) that player can do the same back to me (in real time) or any number of other unmentioned things as a counter. In the market you can't force anyone to do anything = not PVP. You're one of those guys that calls their moped a motorcycle and can't understand why most of the world is laughing at you. I just feel bad at this point.



Back to the OP. Just get with any PVP group or player. Join up and/or ask for help. It's a great community and getting help is simple. Don't fall in with these poser types.

We have this. It's called the Alliance Tournament.
