When has CCP ever said that Empire was uniquely the domain of PVE activities?

This is a not a PVP DRIVEN game, it is an all round game and right now we have half the player base trying to make the rest of the playerbase (the pve pilots) play as they do i.e *mummy he wont play with me, make him play with me*.


There's no such thing as a PVE pilot. We're all PVP pilots, regardless of whether or not we want to be, because EVE is a PVP game. It doesn't matter that there are PVE activites. By your logic, WoW is a PVP game because there's some PVP activities. Clearly it's not.

PVP players are paying customers too.

Also, I completely reject your idea that High Sec players are PVE only. I haven't left high sec in, well, ever, and I've been PVPing for ever. I started in E-Uni, and what did we do? Fight wars, and when they weren't any, we went into low sec to fight pirates. Then I joined a militia for FW, and fought in high sec. And now I'm in RvB, a high sec PVP corp.

There's a lot of PVP in high sec. A lot.

Why? If you want it to be a PVP game, set 3 systems in each empire as safe zones and make the rest null sec. Force people to join alliances and to PvP, the answer is you can't because if everyone on this server was fighting non stop, your server would fail misrably. Why do you not protect the players who want to play a game they pay for there way?


Here's a question for you, if there's no PVP, then who will buy all the inventory that industrialists make?

If you want a PvP game, remove the PvE content, revamp the game and make it pure PVP, stop screwing people over, take there money and laugh when they get ganked for no reason at all other than they have a cov ops in there hauler there moving to there new home.

PvP pilots need to sod off back to null sec and leave empire pilots alone to there own business.

Period.


Here's a second flaw in your logic, that for a game to be PVP, then there can be no PVE. I'll repeat my last analogy, that by this logic, a PVE game could not have any PVP elements in it (like WoW). It makes no sense.

In the end, there are no rules as to what constitutes a PVP game vs a PVE game. A game is what the game designers intend it to be, and in this case, CCP has decreed that EVE is a PVP game, with a few PVE elements. If you can't accept this (and you're perfectly within your rights to reject this), then quit.

I'm not saying this to make you quit, mind you. I do hope for more and more players so the game can grow. But EVE isn't a PVE game, and you're not safe anywhere (not even on the forums).

CCP I want to be exempt from market PVP PVE.
Let me right-click>edit players' sell orders and enter in the amount I feel is a fair price for an item.
I have a right to opt out of market PvE my $15 a month is just as valuable as any of these 'elite market pve' dicks who probable have pvp alts but still treat us PVPers like crap

Sorry Tippia, you're just regurgitating the same old stuff to try and justify your position that market activity is PvP
…largely because it has been true since roughly forever, and doesn't become any less true just because it's old. It's not me justifying any position — it's me telling you simple facts. In the context of EVE, PvP means what PvP always means: player vs. player. In EVE, in particular, this extents to every activity in the game since you're always competing against other players in one way or another.

Quote:
Your own statement "In EVE, we do have a PvP market, because you're always competing against other players for the best deals." even uses PvP and competing in the same sentence!
Yes? That's how synonyms work. What's your problem with the statement?

Quote:
The only other resolution to this would be to define another term for combat activity leading to a kill (CALTAK) - oh wait, I've just come up with the acronym!
We already have a solution for that. We call those activities “combat”. It's a perfectly cromulent word. Occasionally, you clarify it by calling it “PvP combat” to separate it from ratting, but the term ratting already provides that differentiation so it's not hugely needed.



Tippia, the way that you and I (in particular) and the other posters in general are splitting hairs over this issue, we should all be at the G20 summit arguing over the fate of the Euro...no more posts from me, because there will never be a resolution to the issue of PvP/PvE anyway.

Incidentally I've not actually played the game for the last 10 days anyway because of the football, but since there's no game tomorrow I will log on and see how my market pvp is coming along...lol

So market competition is what? PvM (Player vs Market)?

Or is it PvEP (Player vs Eve Population)?

Or maybe it's just PvP (Player vs Player(s))


Sometimes it's PvP (Player vs Player).

Mostly, it's just PSS (People Selling ****).

I super undercut the market constantly, because I don't pay attention to it enough to really know how fast items move; so I undercut to get the traders to buy it.

Works well in my opinion, I'm not sitting on inventory I don't want, traders get a unit or 2 they can sell with great margins...


It's still a valid tactic if you're a 'buy and hold' trader like I am. I've made a 40% profit in six weeks, even though I bought from a sell order and later sold to a buy order.

Can't do that to every commodity of course, and still dangerous, but if you don't mind taking a longer view its not bad.

The fact is. gankers have been forcing this issue. People that play eve for non-pvp reasons are just having their playstyle threatened. Why? Cause gankers have discovered an easy field of defenceless targets. Why don't they do PVP in those areas reserved strictly for PVP? Cause there, the targets shoot back. Simple as!


No one's forcing the issue. If you make yourself a juicy and pathetically easy target to gank, and someone takes you up on your kind and generous offer, then you aren't allowed to complain. If you don't like it, pay attention, fit a tank, and stop dying.

If anything, CCP deserves a bit of the blame. They have solutions they could take to kill bot mining. If they did so, then maybe everyone who wants to do the harvesting route wouldn't have to either bot mine or mine like a bot to compete with those that do.

The solution is simple. Redesign mining from the ground up. Make it like the scanning or PI UI -- you start mining an asteriod, an interface comes up with a simplistic minigame to go through. This will make it impossible to Bot or AFK mine, or mine with 23 accounts at the same time 23x7 (but he's totally not a bot).

Until then, put a random captcha on the miner cycles. If the captcha fails, the Miner, Strip Miner, Mining Drones etc are offlined until you dock and fix them.

I love the fact he implies people aren't pvping because prices have gone up when the biggest problem eve currently has is everyone has too much isk and ship loss has become largely meaningless.

Anyway the people profiting most from hulkageddon are all industrialists, they are just better industrialists than you.

So, logically, you know very little about industrialism within EVE, if you agree with the nonsense in OP.

It was a thoroughly awful, ignorant and uniformed OP. There was no need to necro it.

Right, taken that information in and assessed it, result, you what?

You say that EvE is PvP driven, i fail to see that.

Wether or not people admit it, the majority of ships and ammo are produced by EMPIRE based corporations selling at market hubs. Then hulkageddon comes in, the corps stop mining, thousands quit (which they have) and the prices of everything sky rockets. PvP in null drops off to the point where Null Sec generally is dead and empty apart from hubs where alliance members congagrate like puppies around its mother.

However, there is a massive rise in ganking in empire, the question is why? The answer is simple, guarenteed kill on the KB, concord kills you, that doesnt show up on the killboards and you get 100mil+ of loot from haulers. So why risk your ass in null when you can do it easily in empire? You wouldnt. But the penalty for this action is tiny. So there is no *risk vs reward* factor involved.

So you have mining, npc faction missions, epic arc missions, ded sites, anomolys, scannable sites, pve to the max, my question is this

This is a not a PVP DRIVEN game, it is an all round game and right now we have half the player base trying to make the rest of the playerbase (the pve pilots) play as they do i.e *mummy he wont play with me, make him play with me*.

Just a question to all the Industrialists who hate PvP.


You do realize most of the people who buy your modules and ships are PvPers right? You make money off of Internet Spaceships exploding in giant balls of fire. If we removed that you'd never make money. Ever.

The only thing you "fail to see" is how this game has played for the last 10 years and will most likely play for the next 10 years go back to WoW already and stop shitting up the forums with bad cry threads.

Actually what is called PvE in EvE has many PvP components...

lo/null sec ratting/mission running is VERY PvP conscious
HI sec PvE has ninja looting & possible gangs
Hi sec Incursions in their hay days involved site competition ( still do but have been nerfed almost out of existance )
even when PvE mining belts one often is competing with other miners to have the hihest effiecencies before the rock depletes ( not so true in Ice Belts admittedly )
The new FW PvE has many opportunites for PvP...

CCP Unifex's underresourcing of the PvE content parts of the game IMHO underutilize some of the above and is shortsided . Of course there is an appropriate balance in this game & the PvE being unbalanced being a "Working as Intended" philosophy IMHO is a mistake in both short & long run
