How have I never seen this before?

The "talk to guy, get quest" model is dying, and for good reason. The "wander around for three hours looking for a fight" model is terrible too and dead outside of Eve. I like this kind of idea much more Lol

Ah, the opportunist.

A reprehensible character in real life, a great story driver in EVE.

The idea is cool. The WoW style mention reminds me that sort of thing was what drove me from WoW to GW2 as second MMO choice. And reminds me that it was the community there that soon requested features that drove GW2 in the trail to become Grind Wars.

The problem as with anything in EVE is that there will be a lot of people comprised in finding a way to distrupt the player enjoying this feature in a way that cant be enjoyable to counter and make the devs nerf, change or remove altogether if ever implemented. Have happened before, and will happen again.

If tweaks are made to make the event possible to roll as the idea is exposed without turn offs, thumbs up.

Still hope to see something like this considered for Rubicon...

Hmmm..... I have a suggestion along these lines...

Have a similar thing, but with whole fleets to each side. Instead of some poor capital being tackled, have calls go out to support fleet X in combat Y. Say the Caldari Police Force is going to go attack some planet in Gallente space, and a Gallente corp sends a fleet to defend it. Call goes out, two big fleets of NPC ships begin whaling on each other (fun things here too, like NPC supers in high sec). Players join in for really good rewards, but the likelihood of loosing ships is really high. Make the NPC ships decent enough with good enough AI that healing them and keeping them up is worth it. When the last NPC ship dies on one side, the fight is officially over.

Make it so faction rep isn't impacted by this, or nobody will do it (like people avoid faction enemies in missions). Could be a dropping point for fun things like a Caldari Navy Phoenix BPC

I approve of this idea without reservation.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

Interesting how this has a bit in common with some of the things being discussed in the Ghost Sites official thread.

This strikes me as a very interesting idea, and it's certainly something I'd be excited to try.

+1 That is a really good idea, and adds some content. Kind of reminds me of the Kobayashi Maru. But I would go for it!

This can escalate on the fly as well, depending on how many ships show up (guild wars 2 style). Bringing in additional pirate npcs if fewer capsuleers attack. The defense should be harder than the offense, since people don't generally want to blow up faction stuff. But the rewards should be slightly higher if you help the pirates.

Do it.

Definitely an idea worth considering and putting time and effort into, since it satisfies everyone's needs and demands for more PVP and also some more engaging PVE.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.
