Missions & Complexes

You sound like a ridiculous **** wrinting things like that. Who do you think you are? Nothing but a pussy.

I'd like to take a moment to point out the ridiculous logic to how a high-sec gank is actually profitable:

A group of pirates suicide themselves in order to gank a target. A lone pirate sits on the sidelines and waits for the loot to appear, grabs it in front of CONCORD'S noses and flies away scott free.

This is equivalent to a bunch of bank robbers escaping a bank with bags full of money and getting gunned down by police. Then out of nowhere a shady individual walks infront of the police officers, picks up the bags full of money, and then walks off. The police cheerily wave to the shady person and offer, "Have a nice day, citizen!" completely oblivious to what just happened.

As someone who's ratted in both nullsec and highsec I find it a little silly that I felt much safer in nullsec. I am completely fine with ganking in highsec "for the lulz", for revenge, or for a player bounty. However I think the mechanics in which this activity is profitable needs to be addressed.

This is what I was thinking, The Police always confiscate everything, Concord should too.

You familiar with, Squeaky wheel gets the grease. I am not proposing to eliminate ganking in high sec, just want to ensure the right people get paid for a criminal act.

The people that came to the rescue of course, Concord.

Regardless of what morality or logic you use, you will not be convincing anyone that npc's are people.

So lets make ganking completely nonprofit. You're still not getting rid of all the people that are going to gank.

The person/people that are killing you probably do something else for their cash flow. Not to mention that this starts to lead us to an EvE hisec that's completely safe. An EvE that would be a sad shadow of it's former self.

I don't like getting ganked, jumped, war decced or otherwise having my gameplay altered by someone elses will. I do think that the mechanics add something to the game rather than subtract.

A game played even obliquely against other people is vastly superior to one in which I play against only a computer.

Really? You do and have, been playing this game right?
Tyrannis? PI introduced to help bolster the NON-PVP part of the game. Lots of crying over passive ISK

Incursions; Added the great ISK maker, and dropped the learning skills, Epic Crying

Incarna; Years of promise come to an end as we finally get to walk around a couch. The PVP community goes ape **** and shoots a monument till they get noticed (Crying actually made it to the World News).

Crucible; Deal with some of the crying we gave POCO's to the people to counter the crying over passive PI income.

Inferno; Missiles get a Nerf/Buff (Tears) Incursions get a Nerf/Buff (Tears) Faction war gets a Buff (Tears). All of these 'Improvements' were changed in some way in the following months to deal with the Squeaky wheels.

Retribution; So many here it hard to list them all. Dueling to replace can flipping (Squeaky repair) BC's rebalanced to vanilla across the board, Minmitar Hurricane gets rolled here, But the new faction BC's is the exact same as the old Hurricane. (Squeaky repair) Armor Fix (Reduced penalty so you can have an quick armor boat) to calm the Squeaky armor addicts.

Odyssey; Exploration changes, tears are epic as people with 12 mil SP are no longer better than people with 3 mil SP. New sites threaten to ruin the salvage market, and CCP adjusts. More grease for the squeaky wheel.

Rubicon; Hi Sec POCO's, Mobile depots, Warp changes, Ghost sites, Siphon units, all these things are answers to the squeky wheels, of anti Massive Alliances, Nul blockades, Passive high sec PI Income

Every Expansion is an answer to the squeakiest wheel since the previous patch. Carebears don't need to post tears, just be squeaker than the Gankers for the next 5 months. CCP will do what they do, and make the game appropriate to the loudest audience.

Concord does it for free because they like shooting people. If they took payment, they'd get way less people to shoot. What the hell is your point?

Also, they get paid by SCC taxes and sov fees.

And if they took the loot, they'd go suspect and be killed by capsuleers. Concord are scared little bitches that only shoot GCC people and never engage without overwhelming ECM support. They also don't engage suspects because they're not entirely sure how Crimewatch 2.0 works yet.

Has there even been a successful CONCORD Kill yet? Also of course the police are going to swarm you with overwhelming firepower and support. To do anything else would make them ineffective police.

I agree with Goldiiee about the items being removed by CONCORD if other corps are doing almost the same type of thing. It's gotta be expensive creating those ships that can spawn anywhere in highsec within seconds.
