This is not my idea but we can assist the Devs in answering questions if this is done in a sort of systematic way.

How about we.

1) Post ONE question you'd like answered. No flames, no trolls, no BS.
2) Read the questions FIRST and click LIKE if your question is there. If it isn't, add the question.
3) At the end of the week (Monday morning for me right now) I'll grab the top 10 and post to a single topic.
4) Hopefully the devs can latch on and knock 'em down.

I mean what the heck, for the trolls, it doesn't matter what you do and for the rest of us it might just get the stuff we need answered, well.... answered. Make it easier for CCP and I'm sure it will be a win-win.

Will this game ever be centered around PvP again (i.e. stop the excessive boost to "high sec" being as safe as it is, and low- and null blob-focused)?

Don't confuse PVP with clubbing baby seals.

Good idea, wrong timing I think.
You won't get anything new answered in this thread at this time, that isn't already in other threads on here atm.

Also, I'm sure trolls have feelings too..

Ok, let's make an analogy, you're smart enough to know what that is right?

Let's say PVP is boxing, don't boxing matches usually occur between two boxers?

What happens when a boxer assaults someone who isn't trained as a boxer or even in personal defense? Is that a boxing match or an assault charge?

If you want PVP, seek it from other people who also want it, there are plenty of them out there, don't force it on those who would rather just be left alone.

You're also more likely to actually get want you want rather than people who go station bound until the dec is off

Maybe in another game, but in this game, you're wrong as can be.


If they hadn't the intention to fight, they shouldn't undock, every action you take in EVE is PVP related, even market orders and mining the good ore from a belt.

When you signed up the account, you signed up to a game focused on Player vs Player interaction of every conceivable type, there are no walls or limits to it, and its not now, nor has it ever been griefing to war dec a corp that has no intention to fight.

That corp it could be argued, didn't understand the game it was setting up in, and has blinded itself with personal bias as to what EVE actually is.

1) PvP = Player versus Player, does not claim it has to be equal

2) Re-read my post, I never stated any kind of fighting, you just jumped to conclusion I was talking about highsec and/or griefing, which was wrong

3) You already quoted a guy that is a well-known troll, easily to spot, and I even replied giving him troll ratio so it was even more obvious

Sum up 1+2+3 and you look pretty dumb. Never claimed you were an idiot tho, so don't be sad, just saying you were fooled by a troll and jumped to conclusions, and tried to argue based on that. Never said you were right or wrong either by the way, but that's another subject for discussion..

You make an articulate point rather than belittle my intelligence, I also agree with you to a point

PVP does go beyond combat, though in my experience most people think PVP means ship-to-ship 1v1 (or more, it's just you see those stupid 1v1 frig cans all over the place) combat and nothing else.

Station traders get belittled and "hated on" for doing the PVP that they do (and apparently excel at)

Personally, I feel that every Corp/Alliance should be a multifaceted organization, maybe not everyone can do everything, but everyone should do at least one thing very well

Isn't giving troll rating nowadays also considered trolling as to get someone all worked up over being called a troll?

I would say, if you want to keep the big bad evils off you, stay in Hi sec and hope for the best. EVE is a world based on conflicts, opportunities and greed, you step out of a station, you take a risk. Stepping in a dangerous world means stepping in a dangerous situation; you don't go saying when you cross the street : "Oh hell no! You can't run me over, you evil motorist, I'm not flagged for PVP!!".

I see your point tho, a game that caters to all kind of play styles will typically offer a safe spot for carebears and here it's hi sec. It's not perfect, I know. EVE is real, remember? P

decent idea, but I dont see how (2) helps, since likes are publicly attached to the character only, and not to the post, and thus not to the idea. unless i missed something.
