EVE General Discussion

GM Karidor announced here that wardecs can now be avoided in ways previously considered exploits. There was no accompanying devblog or explanation.

These exploits were considered as such with good reason, because without rules against them all a corporation has to do is create shell corporations which (to sum things up) all toggle decs with each other between mutual and non mutual and have members move between them as needed, and if POSes are threatened then a corporation just has to drop from an alliance and make sure their tower is stronted.

Hoping that players forget to fuel their POSes is a pretty terrible game mechanic. Allowing people damn near impunity to go about in highsec is a pretty terrible game mechanic. Making the entire wardec system require massive amounts of meta-gaming to work is a pretty terrible game mechanic.

And promising to boost CONCORD (which Hilmar recently did via Twitter) while simultaneously nerfing the ability to fight people legitimately in highsec is ludicrously stupid and goes against the very ideal that was Eve.

Why?

Why was it changed?

Why was it changed now, and why was it changed without an overhaul of the wardec system's in-game mechanics?


This change along with anecdotal evidence of meetings between CCP employees and corporation CEOs earlier this year as well as circumstantial evidence (corporation policy change timing) reeks of favoritism towards certain groups.

Remember the Aurora program? You probably don't, because it was shut down years ago after evidence of CCP favoritism when distributing rewards surfaced.

Remember the T2 BPO scandal? CCP sure does. You still can't even say the guy's name who broke the story. CCP played favorites and gave certain groups advantages over others.

Every time CCP has played favorites and tried to hide it, **** has hit the fan and things have ended badly for everyone.

So, give us a good explanation of why the rules were arbitrarily changed for the worse on October 10th. Because your credibility, or at least what little is left, is at stake here.

Perhaps it's so bittervets don't wardec nooby corps for some :elitekills:?

Are you stupid?

Since when was anything like that "promised"? Its because of people like you that CCP has so much problems communicating outside of official channels.

Says the forum alt.
Furthermore, RVB isn't limited to frigs, which shows what you know. (Hint: nothing)

Oh, sorry, I missed the part where you fly around in T2 ships, battleships, and capitals, killing and podding each other.

If I had a dollar for every time someone whined that I'm a forum alt I'd have more money than Hilmar Veigar after the latest subscription numbers came in.

iirc, the last time CONCORD got a 'decent' boost was after the 'Yulai Incident' when Zombie Inc. tanked them to hell and back.
Since then, everything in eve has moved forward apart from CONCORD.
If you look at skills, new ships etc etc.... CONCORD is starting to look a little 'outdated' (even though they still pack a punch.)

Look! You can see the two brain cells fighting each other!

No podding allowed or necessary.

Again, shows what you know. Nothing.

I assume you enjoy the risk of deploying a battleship blob against a bunch of hulks?


I can assure you that there's more risk in frig vs frig than blob vs Hulk.

So, get your facts straight, post with your main and stop crying.

Even if everyone in RvB only flew frigates that would mean theres a lot of fair fights as its not Domi v Frigate but rather Frigates v Frigates.

when the hell did this thread become a thread about fair fights in EVE


because those don't exist, you see, and if you think they do then you are playing the wrong game.
