Jita Park Speakers Corner

Hey, my point was: "Crucible did nothing FOR ME", Seleene tried to show that actually Crucible did something FOR ME, and he's been pretty silent since i showed how Crucible actually did nothing for me, thus i unsubscribed my main and will unsubscribe this alt once the prepayment runs off in late April.

Because i am no longer playing this game, and essentially i join the only ones who still think that there is a slim chance that CCP will bring forward a reason to play this game in case that you're of the 80% who culdn't give a rat's ass of nullsec.

You know, currently there are two doors leading to EVE endgame. One says, "Join nullsec", and the other one says "Go F yourself elsewhere".

And so far CCP, the CSM and everyone-who-matters are intensively pointing the second door to 80% of the players.

Hi there. Is this the high security botting party?

Oh, now just look who failed to prove himself right.

i'm sorry that crucible didn't expand on your bullshit niche

i'll be sure to take up your cause and ensure that wizard hats are added to the nex store

since you've been posting just about everywhere trying to 'do better' and have only mustered 9 likes for your efforts, i'm going to hazard that you can't, no.

Issler ,

My small group of friends (real friends, not alts) gathers a few times a week to assist the Empire factions in dealing with the ever-present NPC threat. I have also tried mining, trading, manufacturing and research in both high-security and low-security space, however I find these to be less fun and less profitable than running NPC missions with friends. Although I have no interest in harrassing other Capsuleers for 'lulz' or 'tears', I do appreciate the element of risk and excitement introduced by the sociopathic sadists who enjoy inflicting grief upon others.

Empire space needs better representation on the CSM. I agree that miners need new content, and I am impressed with your resiliance against trolling. Your candidate will have our support.

I would also like to suggest some changes to improve gameplay in Empire space:

-Non-mutual war declarations should not be valid in high-security systems. As it is today, Capsuleers in corporations that become the target of a war declaration have no choice but to leave their corp or remain docked indefinitely.

-Members of NPC corporations should be automatically involved in faction warfare, but only in low-security systems. This 'lite' FW will improve RP and encourage new Capsuleers to form fleets to enter low-sec space for PvP. If they wish to fly in low-sec without this added risk, they can join or create a player corp.

-Add the ability to 'undo' a gate jump if the other side of a gate is hostile and the Capsuleer does not wish to engage the campers. A 30 minute cool-down timer before the ability can be used again would prevent mis-use. Campers can still perform a strategic role by denying entry to a system, or attempt to catch the ships that ignore the danger and continue into the system.

-Stealing from a can or a wreck should evoke a global aggression timer. This would not incur the wrath of CONCORD - they have better things to do - however it would allow other players to punish the thief. CONCORD's current policy allows suicide gankers use 'alts' to collect loot from their victim's wreck with no risk. This change would also allow combat ships to protect miners from can-flippers.

-Add a way for Capsuleers to warn their Corporation or Alliance members when they suspect that a neutral ship is an 'alt' belonging to an enemy. They could be marked as "Suspected hostile alt" or "Suspected alt for Capsuleer [name]" on a shared persistant list. I assume some groups are already doing this out-of-game. It would be nice to see it included as a tool we can all use.

-Remove the ability to advertise contracts in local chat. That is not the purpose of local chat. If people want to buy your deadspace afterburner they will search for it in the existing contract search interface.

That about sums up my style of playing EVE. You have my support with the VoR party, Issler.

The idea of this party is good because the main reason we have no real "carebear" representative in the CSM is the whole fragmentation of high-sec representatives. In the last election there where just far too many of candidates. Unforunately high-sec don't has the "save votes" that naturally come with big alliances and power blocks. The party idea is a good chance to place one or two "carebears" and small scale players on the CSM. The Mittani is propably right that it is very risky to try to put more than one candidate up against other well establisht candidates. But we will see how it will work out.

I briefly thought about running as a CSM candidate myself, but my time doesn't allow it and I fear my english speaking skills are much behind my actual writing skills . I hope we get some good and devoted candidates. If I can help in any way, let me know.

And please remember, the CSM isn't about telling CCP how they should do their job or work out plans but to communicate with the player representatives how they feel about different topics and ideas CCP comes up with. I think the current CSM has done a good job so far and I even agree with many topics and points of view they came up with. Kudos to members like Seleene, Trebor and even The Mittani. But having some CSM members who really represent most of my playing style is invaluable.

Really sad that this thread seems to derail because of stupid comments and discussions...

Meh, why not. As someone else noted, you could put it in a signature and save yourself the effort, but it has that bar in between, which kind of devalues it.

Besides, in long posts, who wants to scroll back up to see the name? (Of course the like button is also up there, but oh well)

Probably this is why am not paying them any more. Because i am so glad to log in 5 minutes a week to sort my skillqueue as this account approaches expiration, rather than play and do something that could interest me after three bloody years.

My first goal in EVE was "Awesome" but turned unachievable due to broken mechanics.

My second goal was "Cool" but it got killed in an attempt to shove a certain kind of gameplay into people not playing EVE the way CCP thinks they should.

I already achieved my third goal, which was "Nice", some months ago.

While i saw coming the achievement of my goal, I looked for another one. It was quite bland but probably would had served its purpose.

Then CCP spoiled it big time and now has but abandoned it, and they are devoting efforts to things that didn't interest me for three years.

And amazingly I pay for what I get, not for whatever others may get (call me selfish).

Got nothing with Crucible, my main is gone. Will get nothing after Fanfest, my alt will be gone.

So, what did CCP did for me? Losing a 3 years customer.

That is what I am saying. From my personal experience, noobs in low-sec are already nothing but target practice for gate campers and mission gankers. I would like to see members of NPC corps forming fleets for protection before venturing into dangerous space. This would encourage social play (it is and MMO after all) and it could be supported by the FW RP. There could be a warning message when attempting to enter a low-sec system that says "Your faction is at war! We do not recommend entering this system without a fleet! Join [channel name] to find nearby Capsuleers to help you."

If players were forced to leave the NPC corp and join a player corp to opt-out of the low-sec war, they would become vulnerable to non-mutual war declarations by other corps that only apply in low-sec. So under my proposed changes: high-sec space would always be reasonably safe, and low-sec would always involve a potential PvP risk (other than griefing).
