I was thinking about it for a few mins and well is it really a bad thing? It makes sense in a way, just imagine it for a second, everyone friends, instead of talking about who you are going to kill next, you are instead laughing at pics and articles. PvP can be about attacking rats instead of players, RP will grow like this as you can easily compare it to real life.

I think EVE will get more popular and become a lot more entertaining if we all agreed to stop shooting each other either through actual NAPs or verbal agreements.

Its a shame this will never happen :'(

Now you may whine,..


Well sounds borred if you ask me. The game is design to do pvp combat. But offcourse eve have more to offen then pvp combat. But all other are part of the pvp combat what ever you do its have effect in game. And its all about combat even marketing people are combating. However ccp knows that not all humans love to pvp. So the create more jobs for that kind of people.

And no i will never been nice to people ingame when i can shoot i shoot. The question why not? Because its the rule of real life? or its more to destroy that players day? no its some sort of fun. Enjoy the game thats what you need to do whining will not help you to get this game at your best needs.

Nah, the majority of people don't play games anymore to be jerkwads with anger issues. In the future people will talk to each other like normal in game or out as many do now. I think the die hard wannabe Machiavellians are a vocal minority. I see people acting like fruitcakes just because they are online and I think "people still live like that?"

You're new here, aren't you?

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

EVE is cold and harsh. It's up to us, the players, to start a fire and gather blankets.

By which I mean burn down someone's house and smother the survivors.

You should think about it longer than a few minutes. Big smileBig smile

But really, the "real life" you are referring to is just an illusion created by societal rules. Real life is actually a lot more like eve. Some places people use bullets, other places people use fists, or threats, or even lawyers. But people hurt people all the time to get what they want, and it works.

Yes, it would be a bad thing.

The entire game revolves around a war economy where the broken window fallacy is not a fallacy but the core driving factor. Removing the war and the broken windows would not have even a single good consequence.

Nah you would still have ship loss to missions, Incursions sleeper and other NPCs. Plus people who cross train will want ships and modules. There would still be a market for ammo, charges, etc...

If everyone were blue to each other:

Nullsec stagnation (which is what we're already starting to see).

Lack of ships getting blown up means the EvE economy would crash. Huge surplus of stuff not selling because none of it is being destroyed. The entire economy is dependent on stuff breaking so industrialists can make new stuff to fill the hole. No stuff breaking = no industrialists making stuff = No money changes hands = money becomes meaningless = game economy starts to look like WoWs and D3's broken economy with their out of control inflation. Eventually the EvE economy will look like Lineage 2. By then the damage is irreparable.

Fun fact:

Miners and mission runners are the most likely to fill local with endless rage, death threats and yo mamma insults.

Pretty sure that accounts for a very, very small amount of losses.
On a pure guess I'd say it's 90% PVP/ganking etc that causes ship losses.

i'd say 73.5% of percentages are completely inaccurate and pulled out of some one's ass to try and give credibility to an absurd statement.

As I said, and I'll underline it for you, it was a pure guess.
For someone who speaks to and tries to help the newer players out in what they want to do, even they, who are not used to EVE, lose more ships from ganking/pvp than they do from PvE. With only a little guidance, you can fit up a ship for each level of mission that is almost impossible to lose if you just pay attention.

I believe its actually the cure to the game.

I'm addicted to this game because EVE isn't 100% blue.

The day it gets even close to 40% blue, my addiction will wane and so will my desire to pay / play.

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

If low, null, and WH space were all blue... (and all highsec wardecs were evaded with the usual tricks that still exist today)

I would suicide gank so many things in highsec with dirt-cheap ships and modules as the game slowly died.

After this last gasp orgy of violence, everyone would probably get bored and leave, except for the most anti-PVE of highseccers.

And if they are to be believed, CCP would clearly be just fine financially with such a "silent majority" of highsec dwellers getting what they truly wanted: a PVP free game Lol

Assuming it didn't end there they would eventually get all the faction fit pirate BS, sansha supercarriers, and titans they could possibly want even faster than before, and then quit as the game offers nothing more for them, signing up for a new MMO to toil endlessly in for more pixelated shiny things.

The worst thing that would happen? You know those toy space ships we use to point out where the bad people have touched us? Those companies would go out of business.

What about the people who take pride in short blue lists, people that actually love PVP, if everyone was blue it would be carebear paradise, but hell for everybody else..... DEATH TO THE CARE BEARS!

Sounds like if everyone in null was blue, people like you would have a wonderful playground to go find people to shoot and not be punished by the hand of god.

We've seen this play out already, and the result is they begin obsessing over hisec.
