Wormholes

Duel boxing is where C4s are at. You make perfectly good ISK that way. As for the hole issue - just make sure your corp can field Orcas. It really is fairly easy to close C4 holes, as long as you use some common sense.

Well, yes and no. No I am not content with the crowded WH world... I am just as annoyed at how crowded things have become like anyone living there. Getting quadruple escalated twice a week is not exactly fun... but the fact the way hostile escalations work is F.U.B.A.R. is off topic.

While I agree on the crowds I am not sure if just adding systems is the way to go either. Sure its probably the fastest way of doing it, but what should they do in a year down the road when those new systems have been taken as well? Increase the number of systems again?

What I suggest would be diffrent and a kind of "natural" clensing of WH space from less than motivated people.

Hey, I started removing less motivated peeps (as in their pos's an ships) late 2009. It's like fighting windmills, more will just pop up, bigger ones too.

Also I agree with Ned in that W-space is too easy to live in these days.

Way too easy to organize large ops. And tbh, I wouldn't mind a nerf to the rewards either, the ones npc's buy that is, but I want all isk rewards nerfed across the board, which CCP may be doing.

What w-space needs is something new, something unknown, something harsh. Been rooting for sleepers killing pos's for years, but that's not enough. When every mechanic is known and perfectly predictable, new mechanics are needed, to put *some* unknowns back into unknown space.

Scanning's too fast and too easy, and CCP just makes it easier and easier. From adding sig id's (2009) to making ship id's permanent and the most ridiculous change of all sometime during my break, having id's be in serial so you can always see at a glance which are the new sigs when checking out new or linked previously scanned systems. At least they removed jumps from the API, so I can't just press F5 on dotlan (or some more refined in corp tool) every now and again to see that my victims down the chain are active, now I have to actually go look. If I was still with a big corp, that is.

Not to mention corp bm's and probes keeping formation with alt key, hell, right now it's so easy that even the dumbest and laziest ************ can thrive in w-space, especially if he's part of of a blob. And I don't like that.

Too easy!

Just, no. Having to deal with ****** POS mechanics is punishment enough for living in W space. So glad neither of you are Devs...

For the OP: When I first got into Eve roughly two years ago I could day trip into C1/2 systems and make some good ISK solo without too many worries. These days I get surprised when I find an empty system, but I don't see it as a bad thing. One of the problems with low sec is that it's mostly empty, and it's that way because there just isn't any reason to live in a low sec system (unless you're into piracy). The more people get into W space the greater the chance that there will be some combat, so I see vast empty regions of W space as a bad thing -something only a carebear would want.

from what i have seen so far, eve population is more or less constant, which means there are only so many people who inhabit the universe. of these people, a relatively high percentage cannot be arsed to leave highsec much less to live in a system where you have to scan your way to jita every day. i cannot be sre of course, but i strongly suspect that most of the people who like living in wspace are already living there, so adding new systems would not draw a lot of new people but give the current inhabitants more 'breathing room'.



if lowsec were profitable, it would not be so empty. as for combat, there is combat everywhere. and decreasing the population density of wspace would not magically destroy all combat, just make it a little more rare. the fact of the matter is that if you are looking for combat, you will find it (FW, RvB, roams etc.). on the other hand, if you are looking to explore uninhabited space, surprisingly enough EVE is not the game for you.

Ofc it did. You can now scan without skills or bonuses to ships without ragequitting Eve (=easier), you can easier see new sigs (don't need to keep lists&compare =easier) and you don't need two cloakies so the other one can bring bm's back (=easier).

Your last line is hilarious, btw, just shows you haven't got a clue.

yes, and i was blown up within the hour every single time.

I agree, if they want less people to live in WH space, they should just remove moons. If they did this, there'd be a vast emptiness again, and obviously it'd be a lot more fun, right?

But in seriousness, I can't see why you'd want more empty wormhole systems. Why would you decide in EVE of all places, "let's move into a place where we can always be by ourselves, and never see another soul"? And if you thought that, how can you get angry with people making remarks about you just scanning your own hole and making carebear insinuations?

WAT they joined Caldari State?!

Terrible poasting is terrible, as the posts you quoted had no ideas.



Who's angry? Where am I angry? In this thread I mean.


Has Eve forums always been this ****?
Maybe it's nostalgia but I have this feeling it wasn't quite as bad a few years ago.
