EVE General Discussion

Once upon a time, folks laid small minefields just outside the undock point of starter stations right after downtime, so they could sit back and watch all the new players undock and go *pop*... true story


and on the other end of the spectrum, player corporate big-wigs would undock in their battleships and tank the CONCORD cruisers ( because CONCORD didn't have battlehsips yet ) while they destroyed folks that were thieving ore from their corp members' jet cans...


If CCP doesn't want us to mess with new pilots, just make them invulnerable for the first 30 days and be done with it. I can't tell who's a rookie and who's not. I do not show-info on someone before I engage them. and I have no way of knowing if a character is alt #378 of a vet or a noob's first character.

Not to concord I hope, otherwise the 3 day T1 catalysts alts will descend upon you.

maybe you should re-petition CCP for reimbursement from that attack. Their changing view on such matters seems to be in your favor.


EDIT, you should include compounded interest, plus several years of pain and suffering as well as lost skillpoints from your rage-quit

Also whats to stop a horde of 'rookie' *cough*goons*cough* () players flooding 0.0 & running rampant through every alliance space, safe in the knowledge they can not be killed...

Um, I wonder how many rookie frigates with civ lasers it would take to bring down a POS...

I got wardecced by DigitalCommunist in my first week in EVE.
I realized that he couldn't activate his scrams on his pre-nerf nanoranis, or warp to where my t1 punisher was if he was busy replying to my endless local smack
really i learned everything i needed to know about how to survive in EVE in that first week (always local smack)

I honestly don't know if thousands would even beat the shield regen ...

What happened to smack talk, used to be everywhere in game, maybe I've been in hi to long lol. Most of the time I see smack in local now its russian and I have to guess what they are saying about my mum

Almost any kind of rule like this would be instantly abused by the older players in EVE.
I can think of many ways to abuse a rule like this.

Shortly after that mines where made useless.




Indeed, until M00 decides to gank the system and lay waste to everything passes in one system and spidertank the concord ships killing everything in sight. So concord was buffed (extreme) (the original burn jita (but not in jita))




The bigger the society the more rules it needs, in many ways EVE emulates everything that UO faces when there where PK's everywhere ganking from the moment you stepped two meters from the "safe" cities. Up to the baitcontainer with "free loot" to kill noobs.

There was more freedom in the old days, but it got taken away because most of us are not able to manage it in a way that it makes playing eve fun for new guys or frankly enjoyable gameplay for most. I find that at the moment they have struck an interesting balance in the ganking (taking away insurance, plugging holes when exploits that gankers use are found but leaving the basic system intact.).

They are nerfing the beejezus of everything because people went from having a sense of measure to the modern and self entitled:

"If I CAN do it then I WILL do it".

Where "it" is any lowest possible human activity.


Therefore dog muzzles were introduced.
