What class wormhole do you live in? C4

Do you think wormhole PvP is too infrequent? Yes and no. It's a tough call because WH PvP is generally more difficult to initiate, but that's not a bad thing. It stops there being large roaming gank fests, and you have to really earn your kills. Having said that it's amazing the number of people who fail to D-scan on a regular basis.

Or do you think you can be ganked to easy? Oh, hell no. If you're careful enough, you can easily minimise the risk of ganking.

Do you feel its necisary to use OOG tools such as wormnav, static mapper etc to live in wormholes sucessfully? Static Mapper is the unofficial bible of our corp. You can live without them, but it's a lot more dangerous.

Do you think its a good thing that even low class wormholes can spawn the highest class of ladar/gravs: No, I honestly think there should be limits to what spawns in each class of WH. Give people incentive to move into high class WHs and stop pussy footing about in C1-C3.

What do you think are the biggest problems currently in WH space? Scanning. For the love of God scanning takes up so much bloody time, which could be used to go do sites with. There needs to be a way of keeping track of signature changes after down time, if only to cut down on having to move probes about.

Overpowered parts of wormhole space? I'll come back to this one.

What class wormhole do you live in?
C6->C6

Do you think wormhole PvP is too infrequent?
In the high ends like ours, it can be, but finding Nullsec exits on 3 sides of the map and playing boogyman is what makes it fun.

Or do you think you can be ganked to easy?
Never been ganked. I've failed a collapse and fought to the death in my Thanny, but no surprise ganks. Helps that I don't gas mine.

Do you feel its necisary to use OOG tools such as wormnav, static mapper etc to live in wormholes successfully?
Yup. Siggy and Wormnav are very nice.

Do you think its a good thing that even low class wormholes can spawn the highest class of ladar/gravs:
They can't.

What do you think are the biggest problems currently in WH space? POS Mechanics. Russian/Chinese Farmers. Thieves.

Overpowered parts of wormhole space? None. It's a fantastic balance of risk vs. reward.

How to get more people interested in W-space:
Keep flying shineys out in nullsec. If an alliance sees you roll up 3-4 times in a month in a T3 fleet or faction mods, they'll know where you got the money and know the myths are true (we make bank). People might be more interested in trying it.

It is WAY too easy for huge groups to work together and coordinate, as can be seen by recent large engagements. The main thing that separates null from W, is teh blobbery, but that separation is getting more and more narrow. Something should be done to stop this cancer from growing ever larger, to change the course in which W is headed.

But CCP seems intent to continue on in the opposite direction of small gang for W, so there's not much hope.

What would an "overpowered part of W-space" be?
Don't think anything specific is "overpowered", except numbers, which is true for all of Eve, and W-space is no longer the exception.

Though higher class PvE rewards are a bit on the high side and could stand being looked at.

What class wormhole do you live in?
C4 with C6 static

Do you think wormhole PvP is too infrequent?
No. If I want more it's very easy to generate by provoking neighbouring residents. If I want less, I can cower in my POS!

Or do you think you can be ganked too easy?
I think it's the easiest place to be ganked, but not that it's too easy. Every time I've been ganked it's been because I simply haven't been careful enough. Each time I learn a lesson. But W-space should be risky. It's meant to be. A ganker can quickly become the prey if he's not careful.

Do you feel its necisary to use OOG tools such as wormnav, static mapper etc to live in wormholes sucessfully?
The only tool I use regularly is static mapper, for ease of route finding. Our hole is a ***** to get in and out of.

Do you think its a good thing that even low class wormholes can spawn the highest class of ladar/gravs.
Yes, because it so rarely happens it makes the tedium of scanning just a little bit more exciting. It's not like they spawn every week.

What do you think are the biggest problems currently in WH space?
The dreadful orange smoke filling the C4s! No, seriously, I think it's pretty well balanced at the moment. But I don't deal with the big POS mechanics which seem to be most people's gripe, so I can't comment on some of that.

How can more players be encouraged to live in wh space.
If I knew I wouldn't tell you. I don't want more people in my territory Blink

Overpowered parts of wormhole space?
None, it's meant to be deadly.

What class wormhole do you live in?
C1

Do you think wormhole PvP is too infrequent?
No. Easy to find it if you are looking for it.

Or do you think you can be ganked to easy?
I guess the easy part is no local? That is part of what makes WH unique

Do you feel its necisary to use OOG tools such as wormnav, static mapper etc to live in wormholes sucessfully?
No. Not at all.

Do you think its a good thing that even low class wormholes can spawn the highest class of ladar/gravs.
What? Highest gas in class 1 is C-84. No Mercoxit in a class 1.

What do you think are the biggest problems currently in WH space?
No problems unique to WH space that I can think of. Just differences in opinions.

Overpowered parts of wormhole space?
?

How can more players be encouraged to live in wh space
Do we need more players? Seems like most holes are occupied.

Even if he does. Perhaps he's not allowed to confirm or deny where within EvE he makes his home.

Or maybe he's just sick of you or doesn't care or is overworked, who can say.

Maybe you ganked him 3 days ago and now he is stalking you like an animal.

Anything is possible in WH space.

About right
Or do you think you can be ganked to easy?
It's too easy, but it's WH's so....
Do you feel its necisary to use OOG tools such as wormnav, static mapper etc to live in wormholes sucessfully?
Not necessary, but very usefull, makes it a little too easy sometimes but in the right way.
Do you think its a good thing that even low class wormholes can spawn the highest class of ladar/gravs.
They can't, at least I've never seen a low class WH with a high end LADAR which means that even if they can it's so rare as to be a mute point. Hell the advanced sleepers would give most of the groups in low end WH's a very nasty suprise if they tried to hit them.
What do you think are the biggest problems currently in WH space?
POS mechanics
The new inventory mechanics (for POS managers)
Lack of excitment due to lack of new toys
Overpowered parts of wormhole space?
Can't think of any

How can more players be encouraged to live in wh space
New POS's
A way to make a WH system more like something you own, so you can be more invested in it.
Tech3 battleships, industry ships ammo and modules. frigs are meh. (it's been over 3 years, ffs hurry up CCP)
