Eliminate local chat. Or at least include a feature to disable local like any other channel.

Scammers and bots die a horrible death, and unless people want to reveal themselves in local there's no way to unfairly ascertain who may be in low or null-sec. Would probably encourage more active travel and participation in low and null-sec.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

how about just ignoring it or having corp / alliance chat open instead

If the local sperg bothers you, turn off the tabs blinking, unstack it from your other chat tabs and minimize it. Problem solved.

It's not a feature - it's a bug fix. As in - it bugs the heck out of most of us. :D

Problem not solved. It still reveals you as active in low/null-sec (even while cloaked), which is beyond stupid.

Stupidity is better than a zombie, because you can at least shoot a zombie in the head and kill it lol.

The remove local people make the same mistakes all the "simple change" people make ie they don't take into account all the surrounding issues. No local works in wormholes because there are no gates and you can't cyno in other ships (unlike in null and low sec), you HAVE to enter a wormhole via a wormhole entrance. If wormholes had gates and allowed cynos they'd be impossible to live in.

Yet these brilliant people think removing local is an easy and sensible answer. Just goes to show that not everyone who can turn on a computer is "smart".

A wormhole is a gate, just different graphic. Not quite sure what local and cynos and even non collasping gates have to do with local. Please explain how they relate and your doomsday scenario of removing local ruining null sec.

Wormhole = strictly limited traffic
Gate = unlimited amount of traffic

It's hard to believe people are actually this dense. Who in their right mind would do an anomaly (for example) in a null system with no local where a neutral can jump in, decloak and re-cloak really quickly and simply warp to your anom and point you then 5 seconds later cyno in 20 of his closest friends...all without needing to use a single san probe to find the 1st entrance.

You simply have to be daft to not understand that EVE's wormholes work because CCP built them from the ground up to work without automatic local.

Honestly, I think it would make gate camps and roams boring as ****.
It would make travel extremely dangerous.

This doesn't benefit the hunters or the hunted... and blobs would be pretty unaffected. Gangs have a harder time finding people to kill, and everyone has a trickier time moving around... where's the benefit?
