EVE General Discussion

I like what the OP has to say on this. he is correct. even if he lost a hulk or someone else has lost it. there are ALOT of people in violation of the agreements we made with CCP.

well there are a few things to point out and if you are reading this you know how to read the EULA and his little brother. techinicallity can be a killer for some.

Have fun kids

Is it too late for /popcorn?

Yes it was. It goes through cycles, during which a fresh new batch of players who until now assumed that EVE was just another hand-holding PvE MMO are educated, they wise up, ganking gets more difficult and less profitable, people turn to other ways to make their ISK, and so on until the cycle repeats. We go through this about every 9 months or so.



That's an interesting assertion. Can I see the source of your data?

How safe do you really want it to be? If I read your killboard correct this is the first ship loss in over THREE YEARS!! Is that not safe enough for you?

Once upon a time you were concerned enough to plug your head with defensive implants. But now, after years of nothing, you find yourself in complete denial and forgot to even fit a basic tank on your ship.

Can't you see what has happened to you and how it is a threat to the health of the game? Your own story tells us that hisec is too safe.

That's .. uh.. impressive.

tell us about wis dmc

There is one thing I think CCP could do that wouldn't violate the idea of the sandbox as we know and want it.

Make sure people don't have to engage in meta-gaming, i.e. being updated on blogs and forums, to know about these events.

Simply add these to the news at login:

"Dear carebear. Just a quick warning that in a weeks time a player event is beginning that might impact your play style. We do suggest you inform yourself and take action accordingly. Sincerely CCP"

They could also have a "suicide gank flag" in systems when it goes say above X ganks per hour, just a flashing signal in the system (or constellation or region for that matter) info on the top left indicating that something might be ongoing in the system that PVE minded people might wanna consider in their actions. like and risk alert flag.

I am all for the risk and sandbox of eve, but I would mind giving people some help in adapting to it, tbh, its to easy to bank these days.

Of course gankers could adapt to some degree, spreading out ganks or keeping events secret if they can, but they would then be vulnerable to spies that report of impeding activities to CCP and maybe ccp could reward gank-spies with plex, handled by CCP skunk :-D JK.....

If you're as successful an architect/designer as you claim to be, why don't you just build yourself a new Hulk, miner-boy?

The only one who is acting against the high-sec risk/reward balance is you.

You chose to go for high rewards by flying an expensive ship, and thus you assumed a greater risk than you might otherwise have. You are completely free to forego some of the high rewards, and as a result you will face almost zero risk. Mining in anything that is not an exhumer is one example of how to do this, but there are many others.

Unfortunately, some miners seem to feel they are entitled to maximum reward with minimal risk, and that excludes any option other than a maximum yield hulk (flown while watching TV, because effort-vs-reward is another concept they struggle with).

But if you think about it, you have fairly complete control over the risk vs. reward that you face. If, as you say, you find mining to be a relaxing diversion in a "low pressure environment", then you don't need to be doing it in a top of the line ship. So why invite that stress? Take advantage of the options that you already have and then you won't need to bother CCP with your problems.
