If you think that, then one wonders what you must think of literally every other area of space, since it's easier, has less cost, and is much more easily applicable everywhere else.

You know what? You're just playing the wrong game.

Oh, and? Absolutely nothing you're talking about is "griefing". Griefing is strictly defined by the only people whose opinion matters. CCP. Highsec PvP is not griefing, no matter what the likes of you might say.

It's griefing in everything but CCP opinion on it, and I'm going to call things by proper names.
I mean, even if you don't consider it griefing, you still can't call that pvp, because it has nothing pvp-ey about it.

I can certainly attest to the quietness of nullsec. The main problem there seems to be a lack of conflict drivers - newsov encourages people to squat in their space, where they have no need to go anywhere else to meet their needs. Fights rarely happen for reasons other than boredom, so I can understand why people looking for spaceship explosions flock to highsec. It's a target rich environment.

One of the larger problems in eve is the disparity between pve fit and pvp fit ships. You can't run pve content in pvp ships, so when pvp comes to you (sandbox, ladies and gents), you're gonna lose. Fixing this would go a long way to remedying pvp in general, but yeah, it's a big job so don't hold your breath. Still, I'd prefer that than applying arbitrary rules restrictions on wardecs. Oh, and skipping corps should be addressed too, it's far too easy to avoid a war.

It's not the proper name. Unless you just stop playing EVE Online anyway, in which case it might be applicable. I would suggest Star Trek Online, it's much more suited to cowards and the weak minded.

Unless CCP has finally taken my suggestion and disqualified miners and haulers from counting as real players, then it is PvP by definition. No matter how you try to inject e-honor or other nonsense into it, it is still player versus player content.

WOO! =D I haven't had someone respond to like this in ages. XD

Hisec grief deccers are the most risk averse of all players, save maybe suicide wankers.
When I see a grief deccer fight anywhere further than undock "safety zone" I may reconsider this evaluation, but in 1.5 years there haven't been a single case of that. Which means they are... chickens, basically.



Lol, Where in Highsec are you going to see a fight happen? Three places, The Undock, A Gate, Or a mission pocket are going to be the top three spots. So yeah of ******* course you see them on the undock, it a popular place to be. All so, do you have some ill feelings going on here? Some angry feelings towards Mercs and Gankers? I feel some hostilities.

Gooby please, I can personally, as in single-handedly, keep half the marmite wardecs funded. War is not cheap, it's basically borderline free.


Oh the, I can totally do this so obviously other people can to, argument. You probably could fund half of the wars, the cheap 50mil ones. But about about the 500mil ones Marmite keeps paying for? Everyweek? Brave, Ivy, Pandemic H, all equals out to 1.5bil a week. Not counting the other 120+ wars going on right now as well. XD


Quote:
That is the biggest bs in the whole post and the most cancerous line of thought seen ever.
Fundamentally, eve combat PvP is "bigger sp blob always win". It's kinda obvious that people will refuse to fight back when there is not even if they can afford to, because there isn't even a shred of chance to win. If you are even close to winning, the griefer gets 10 neutral logi on him, docks up, or burns and runs away sacrificing a neutral jammer on you. Those are options you cannot fit back against no matter what, so people don't, and they are smarter than you, idiot.



EvE Combat is not, More SP equals better. If you believe that it's no wonder you're so angry and throwing a tantrum. Also ten neut logi + Combat toon+ ECM Jammer? Are insane? XD Who did you fight? Who can multibox that many toons without broadcasts?


Quote:
1. Because "jackwagon" has less SP and thus can't win no matter what he fits. Self-destruction is his only option when he's caught. He takes it, he's smart. He doesn't, he's an idiot. He can't win so he shouldn't fight.

2. "Nerf hisec" is already done. Many times, in fact. Not enough for the griefers though, having free CONCORD removal tool at their disposal they are just stupid and lazy.

3. Because they are guaranteed to win due to eve faulty combat pvp system, they can afford to superfit their non-profitable ships with their non-profitable wars income *sarcasm*



Anybody with 20mil ish SP invested in combat is perfectly capable of killing me. Hell a spec out toon with 12mil sp can kill me under the right circumstances. I've only been playing since 2013 brostalin and Im not afraid of a 2003 player, you on the other seem to think, "More SP=Better". Which is absolutely ********, and limits your own fun in the game.

Like Really. SP doesn't mean as much when you get past the 20mil mark.

2. How does that pertain to what I said? I was talking about forcing players down a linear path XD

3. Again you miss my point somehow completely and ramble off like a meth addicted cocaine fueled sweat shop worker. You seem mad bro.

Cherry picking a target which has no means to fight back and sitting docked and scared every time you are at 1% risk of losing a support frig in a fight is griefing or bullying, whichever term you prefer. It's the proper name.

So it's a game for leet hisec pvp chickens, right?

CCP in fact did. They have taken away all means to fight from miners and haulers so they cannot qualify as a valid pvp target, since it doesn't even matter if a mining boat or hauler piloted or not in combat situation - they would die in an equal time regardless of having that pod inside or not. So this is player vs barge content, since the second player is irrelevant - a pure pve with a spectator.

Your pvp aversion would be totally funny if CCP weren't so wrong about it.

It's neither, you're just trying to apply a negative label to justify removing gameplay that is 100% within the rules, just because you don't like it.

Too bad.


Quote:

They did not take anything away. Those non combat ships do not have means to fight, which is the only thing that remotely comes close to justifying the fact that they are effort free, risk free ways to generate assets into the game world.

Just because someone makes the choice to be defenseless by flying those ships should not make them immune to the actions of others.

You should stop calling griefers by other names.
It's not undock. It's "safety zone" - they only fight from a place they can instantly dock on sight of anything actually armed at. Undock is a big zone, and the griefers are never more than 1km away from the station - too scared.

1.5 bil is my income from 5 hours of null pve. If you consider 1.5 bil a week big money, man, you're a spacepoor vermin. Get gud.

Eve combat is "more SP always win", that's a proven fact - facts do not care if you believe in them or not.
That fight wasn't mine, but an alliance mate who met Devils Warrior Alliance - the biggest hisec chickens of all. They refused to fight us 5v3 and only undocked when there was just 1 guy left - typical chickens. They brought a logi, ecm, and combat ships down on one guy and that's basically what other griefer chicken alliances do all the time anyway.

Unless you're 15 million SP yourself, 20mil SP toon cannot kill you. Unless you are 15 million SP and most of your skill are indy, 12 million SP toon cannot kill you. Don't worry, it took me a pair of years to realize the truth of the formula, and you will see it too.

SP stops meaning much when you are over 70mil mark. 20 mil is not even starter line, it's about 50mil when you get to be effective, and 70mil is where you are covered in everything relevant.

2. No, you were crying "nerf hisec" like a gewn would.

3. No, it's you who missed my point completely and don't even get the answer. You can superfit a ship you're not going to risk however you like, because "leet hisec pvp" against newbies is risk-free for a high SP char.

It's both and it's one of the things that kills eve. I never said it is against the rules, I only said it needs to be tweaked to not be free and riskless.

Too bad indeed.

Try building T2 item. At least one. When you quit after you fail, we will talk about "effort free".
And risk free? There is market where you lose the price war, there are griefers which are risk free and effort free way of getting anything they want by ganking, etc. It's not even remotely risk free. It's far more risky than doing leet hisec player vs barge. Stop talking about things that take more than 40 IQ you have, you don't even understand them.

Griefing is legal, intended, and it doesn't stop being griefing just because it's allowed, and it only needs tweaking.

It is not free, or riskless. A mechanic is not broken just because you are bad at the game.

We aren't immune to a damned thing, you're just too godawful at this game to be effectual at anything. Apparently, since you're crying about manufacturing, the easiest, most risk free thing in the game, too.

Why are you guys arguing definitions of PvP and "Griefing" with a forum alt?

Right now I can buy a 2 week wardec against any +2k member corp/alliance for $20 USD. There aren't many of those ingame, and I'm a bit too cheap for that anyway.
Right now I can buy a 20 week wardec against any corp under 51 members (most of them) for $20 USD.

The general lack of disruption and surplus of safety in high sec have allowed denizens of the high sec pve community to inflate the price of plex to the point that I am only too pleased to buy one whenever I feel like I need iskies.
I blow $20 bucks in a week without thinking about it. It takes me a lot longer to blow through 1bil isk in EvE.

You wanted it safe so you could make more isk in peace.
Well, now I can bring the average corp's operations in high sec to a grinding halt for 5 months all for the price of a 14" pepperoni pizza and breadsticks.

I don't know if that is good or bad, but it sure is easy.

We should give maps to the people who don't have maps, that way the people who are in the iraq who don't have maps won't be confused. -My cousin's suggestion (he doesn't eve, but he does enjoy pizza)
