EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

How, pray tell, is this different from w-space? Eviction happens, fights happen, you cannot run sites behind a bubble camp and instantly know if anyone enters local. Also, w-space PvE you have to pay attention (i.e. not easily bottable).

Risk v. Reward, w-space is riskier, the only thing we are immune to is afk cloakies. You, on the other hand, can easily warp off grid before that interceptor that just entered local lands on you (especially given the time it takes to scan out that sanctum...)

WH space is much safer! You have all your big blobs, stations and can move caps around because the gates have no limit on mass ... erm ... wait, null sec.
Nothing quite like being in a WH alone when some covert ships pop up and say "Hi" No warning in local.

Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.


Responding to your sig.

Yes. When I propose things to help new players it is to help me too because I want:

  • More players,
  • The game to prosper so there are more developers to improve it
  • More people to play with
  • More people to join my group


So, when I do suggest something to help them, I really want them to succeed for the long term as that benefits us all. I have a group in another game, which has been going for five years and has two objectives

  1. Help unite the faction (not likely to happen)
  2. Help new players.

Can we separate two things in your minds?

  1. There is Goons and what they do in game or out.
  2. There is Goons and how they have permeated all aspects of the game, creating a conflict of interest.


I have no problem with Goons in general. My problem is with the conflict of interest and thus this thread.

An often very true and sad thing here, though not absolutely a given.

However, there is the added problem that the people who are actually the best suited for these functions, tend to have such actual jobs, or similar, and will not be even remotely interested and/or able to spend such amounts of time and effort representing the players of a game as volunteers. What is left, is indeed an army of corruptible people.

Well the first one seems kind of obvious and unnecessary to state but the second item is pure paranoid fantasy. Believe me if we had as much power as you think we do nullsec wouldn't have been nerfed to hell and back and supercaps never would have become the I-Win button that they are today. Unless you think we just let those things slide to cover for our real power grab...

Conflict of interest does not mean that anything corrupt has happened yet. It is the potential for those things to happen.
