No, not only do I disagree, but I will not ever agree to a logic where an aggressor considers himself punished for an instant win, but chooses to think it is a punishment. It is outright stupid.


Technically the defender is the one the won as they did more ISK damage and lost nothing beyond what it cost to make a new corp. So its more an instant loss.

No. You are in high-sec and have to pay CONCORD to look away. This is your very own bill you need to pay if you want to fight wars in high-sec. You can always move out into low- and null-sec, but high-sec is high-sec and there is a good reason for it.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

And nothing you said was an argument against my previous statement. "no" isn't a good enough reason. Its money lost they had zero opportunity to get back. No, your market transactions aren't similar to this. Your sell orders take this into account if you want to profit and hell, its your choice to pull out of an order in the first place. You could always just leave it with the assumption that it'd drop back to that price eventually, you just end up getting impatient.

I cannot help you when you are too blind to see the obvious. High-sec is the high security space where players get protection. This includes protection from players with your mindset.

I believe you've missed the part where I was against expanding wardecs. But hey, whatever floats your boat. You want to resort to personal attacks, that's your problem. There's plenty of ways to provide protection without being a total **** to one side.

Fight the good fight, OP.

All bots must die, gank them if you must, but make it more costly for them to bot than to not bot.

Hi.

Get out of high-sec. It just is not the fault of high-sec players when they do not want to fight, but it is your own when you can always go into low- or null-sec and fight your wars there, free from all CONCORD fees, and where players want you to come and to fight.

Buddy, the only person here who needs to "HTFU" is the guy insisting that the NPC corps are there for you to avoid a wardec, YOU.

I lose something if I drop corp, pretty much everyone not in high sec does.

You on the other hand are a member of a one man corp, in a one corp alliance.

You're in no position to tell other to HTFU.

How about you learn to ******* play.

GTFO

Wardecs are not intended to be done only in low and null, where they're the least improtant.

Now you're just not listening. Nor paying attention to my corp in a subject where you probably should, ironically one of the few times corp would matter. I don't imagine I'm paying for any wardecs from E-UNI.

Your logic is beginning to fall apart. NPC corps have always been there to avoid war decs.

Am I? Or am I telling you that you are wrong in your belief of a fair war-dec?

Tell me, when was EVE ever about fairness? At best does one get a fair chance on something. However, there has never been a guarantee on fair fights, fair costs, fair losses, or on anything else.

Please, if you think I am wrong then show me where.

No ****. I agreed with you!

I even said that the problem isn't being able to drop your corp to avoid a wardec.


The problem is having nothing to lose when you drop from your corp in high sec. You're response is to HTFU.
This is a fact. Not a guy who flies around in null sec, with a freighter loaded with billions in cargo, needing to HTFU.

CCP wants you to play in a player run corp, and they want you to have a reason to deal with a wardec. I shouldn't even have to point this **** out anymore, everyone is aware of the conversation they had with the CSM's by now.


Instead of being a ****** EVE player and telling people wardecs don't belong in high sec, why don't you actually offer ideas on ways they can get players into corporations and stay there when there's a war.


The majority of all industry is done in high sec. WTF is wrong with you people that think just because we do industry, we have no need or desire for war. You take war to where your enemy lives, in the case of every industrial and especially high sec indy corps, that's high sec.

The hell do I want to wardec a PvP or mission running corp for if I'm an industrial. It's the other industrialists that are my enemy, they're the ones who take profit from me.

Shame on you.

Quit trying to make my playstyle worse! Not every industrialist is a coward, afraid to get blown up, or god forbid actually shoot someone out of need.

This is EVE goddamn it.
We resolve disputes by blowing people up, or reducing their ability to operate. War allows me to do that, but not if they can drop to the NPC corp and continue to function as well.


Industrialists are not exempt.
There just need to be a reason. There currently isn't one.

There was no reason necessary for you before when war-decs only cost 2m ISKs. Now at 50m ISK do you need a reason?! I will give you a reason: because one can.

If you stop looking at fairness to some degree, it throws out any argument out the window. You could literally argue almost anything if you don't take that into consideration. You throw out all arguments for balancing. You throw out all arguments for even giving safety as that's based on fairness to a certain extent. Fairness isn't about everything always being good and dandy. Its about being reasonable. Nothing I suggested affects the safety of those who want to wardec avoid. They want to leave, let them, but for wardecs to work to their full intended extent, there needs to be both a reason NOT to leave, and also not to punish the aggressors just because someone chickens out. It isn't a win when someone "surrenders", causing you 50 million in wardec ISK damage to their, whatever the cost to form a corp is that I know is under that. And yes, I can be sure that they intend more with them than what is currently in place, just a read on them in the CSM minutes says that.

Wrong. The more likely answer is that there have to be other reasons, only fairness is not one of them.

When you're talking about balance for example, fairness is pretty much the only reason for it. Balance happens because its unfair to pilots of other ships, or other classes if you go in reference to other games. Anyone could fly the unbalanced ships, but it forces you into a play style, which violates a sense of fairness. You can't ignore it when making a game if you want it to be any good. Otherwise you could use the excuse that "oh, its just superior technology." which would be the real world explanation for such a thing.

Don't let it get to you man. He's found a broken game mechanic (highsec) and exploits it to enrich himself, as is the way of New Eden - from cloaky/stabbed faction war to convo spam gatecamps to gsc smartbomb shield. In a game of "he who abuses broken mechanics first and hardest wins", that just makes him a good player.

Well played, Whitehound - thanks for pointing out yet another reason for supporting James 315 for CSM.

Lol I can't delete my forum sig.

No. Ship balance is not about fairness, because we already have all different skill sets and we can fly different ships.

Ship balance is about the number of ships used in the game and the exact ruling by CCP when they consider a ship as imbalanced is entirely their decision.

How do you even get the idea that there is fairness involved in this? It is about CCP running a business and they are trying to keep it as rich in variety as possible so we can play with it as much and as long as possible without getting bored and thus keep paying them for it and in the end put food on their tables.
