EVE General Discussion

And current NPC players can effect the biggest part of the game, the market. Almost completely unrestrained in the so called "little shelter" with the only interruption from the smallest of communities, the gankers. So instead, NPC corps should get a free pass to not play with the rest of civilization because you say you are casual?
The "casual" does not need NPC protection. My alts are in personal corps and have never been harassed. If I am, my god, I have mercenaries. What else would you use your isk for? If you are targeted, you are not as casual as you let on. Or you said something stupid. Which should lead to consequence.


Oh hay goon with alts.
So the hundreds in each blood line NPC corp don't effect eve at all either right? Its not the cause of all evil. Yet its a long overdue change for the greater good. This was specifically oriented at the "safe" amounts of ore entering eve. You could always add your thoughts on NPC outlaws as the overlying theme is to make NPC corps useless.
Good thing miners got that giant buff huh?
Good thing that crime watch change will make those npc griefers with high sec standing attackable by all right?
What else can happen?

Sometimes, I think that players like you are the reason that so many players drop out of EVE. I do not think you understand that newbies like me need an NPC corp. We also pay 15% tax rates or something like that, so you have no right to complain. Who cares if 5 carebears worth 50 billion ISK are in an NPC corp? It makes no difference to the game.

It's like saying, cars are bad for the environment, so lets just throw all cars off a cliff.

Without the CAS NPC corp, I probably would have left the game a long time ago. The whole point of an NPC corp is to let a player build up a solid base of ISK before they continue on to go into a bigger corp.

You apparently didn't get the memo...we don't troll posts that are actually good. But for future reference... work on your trolling, that was pretty weak.

Well, for one, null-sec alliance hauling alts would be in player corporations.

You vets are hilarious. Most of the problems of this game are actually vet created. You created the mess that is nullsec. You created the mess that is low sec via gate camps and such. YOU have created the problem with highsec by relentlessly exploiting the ruleset to kill newbies. You scream and cry about newbies staying in the NPC corps and then when one tries to join your corp you scream "SPY ALT!!!" or "NOT ENOUGH SP!!!" all day at them. So newbies have the choice of staying in the NPC corp or taking a risk on a small corp that is very likely a ****** corp. On top of that when you don't scream about spies or SP issues you take the opportunity to scam the newbie by taking everything they have or by killing them. Then you come to the forums acting all surprised when newbies stay in the NPC corp.

In case you're wondering I was welcomed to eve by having my first ship ganked when I undocked to do the tutorial missions. Dude just killed me for no apparent reason and when I asked why he screamed "NEWBIE CAREBEAR GET OUT OF NPC CORP" and then blocked me. Days later when I attempted to start mining I was ganked in my hoarder. This doesn't include the rampant can flipping and overall obsession of certain vets who make it a point to hang in the newbie areas just to grief people.

If you want this game to change you might want to take a moment and look at your own actions and how they might be contributing to the problems at hand. You're not hardcore and this game isn't hardcore either. I've seen hundreds of similar games over my decades of game playing. There's nothing special about your ability to play this game. Get over yourself and you might start to see the true problems here. Or you can continue your forum circle jerk about how eve is "cold and hard" and how special you are as people to play such a "cold and hard" game. If you want true "cold and hard" you should turn off the computer and go outside.

I've said my peace as a newbie to this game.

If people couldn't hide in NPC corps to begin with, think you would have been ganked by someone saying stop hiding?
You have inherited a legacy of ****. You can either change it, or fall in line with the mediocre lifestyles those before you set in motion.

It was especially funny because my character was only a couple days old and I was still trying to figure out how to even fly.



Yes those people would still be ganking newbies but I guess at least they wouldn't have an excuse to legitimize their behavior.

Yeah, sorry, the magic is gone. Try less hard, maybe?

Just like dual mw drives or ABs on ships. or AOE doomsdays, npcs corps going from zero to 11% tax, lvl5s leaving highsec, incursions screwing with space.
People will get over it and adapt.

Ah...CAS!

I well remember back in the day when I had one of my first characters in there. Used to be that someone would suggest a low sec or null roam and there'd be two dozen frigates and T1 cruisers at a gate within 20 minutes ready to go. Back in those days if you had a spare hull or two, you'd donate to the cause. It was a real tight knit group.

I haven't had a character involved in an NPC corp for a few years so I'm not sure what they're like now, but they used to be a real hoot for those willing to take a risk and have some fun.
