Any sizable non-PvP focussed highsec corp. If you want to join a highsec corp you either have to select a full on PvP corp or a tiny corp that will at some point get big enough to be stomped all over by wardeccers. It's why groups like red-frog operate entirely from NPC alts, because anything else would be suicide.

If joining player corps improves retention, and players join for a variety of different playstyles, then corps in the starting area of space should be able to support the full array of playstyles. But they can't, because wardecs ensure that only other wardec and PvP groups exist beyond a minuscule scale in highsec.


Odd. Pvp is unavoidable in a pvp game. Hmm.


Anyhow, you derailed it into another famous Lucas kell troll masterpiece long enough. The entire point wasn't a discussion on the validity of wardecs. It was about the OP thinking eebil space pirates are terrible people IRL.

No, it's not. But get over your blinkered view of what constitutes PvP for a moment and understand that there should be more variety of playstyles in highsec. It's ludicrous that wardecs put such a heavy limit on what corps can do. Honestly, sometimes I think you want easy stagnant gameplay.

You are the OP, genius, and the thread was you insulting some dude cos he has different opinions from you.

No, sorry. Even the devs say "EVE is a PVP game at its core, and there is nowhere in EVE that you are safe". Sorry. Really, sorry. So lets talk about MY "blinkered view" of what constitutes PVP. Please. Sorry. Sorry.

If corps want to succeed, they need to grow some balls and learn to fight, or hire mercs to fight for them. You know I missed your posts while you were gone. WTF was I thinking.

Yeah yeah yeah. The TOPIC of the OP. Typing on a mobile sucks. And a hell yes I have a differing opinion on the fact that because I blow things up in a GAME it doesnt make me a bad person.

So tell me, do you think I am a crazy psycho because I may get the urge to ruin someone's EVE day??

*facepalm* Yes, and what is "PvP". Hint, it doesn't just mean "shooting people".

Fighting isn't the whole game. Newer players and newer corps get jumped on by veteran wardeccers and they are supposed to just magic up funding or drop everything and play purely for shooting each other just because the wardeccers want and easy time? So is this you confirming that you only believe that players wanting to purely focus on shooting each other should be allowed to have corps? If that's the case, perhaps CCP should just remove all other aspects of the game.

Yes, the TOPIC of the OP was you insulting another player for having different opinions to yourself, what those opinions consist of is irrelevant. Honestly, the thread should have just been locked and you should have received a warning for trolling from post 1.

Nope, and never claimed as much. Though let's face it, if the joy you get is purely from the fact that another player (not character) is upset and not from the challenge of the game (you've made it clear you don't like the game to be challenging), then it hardly makes you the best kind of person either.

You should understand that on this forum you are consistently taking the side of limiting the types of playstyles in hisec.

If you listen to anything that most of these people say you will see that their opinions are usually central on how to maintain a balance while not neutering content.

Additionally I find your remarks extremely inflammatory and lacking even a modicum of productivity due to your inability to want to reason with your peers in the forum.

As for your comment about it being hard for me to start a hisec pvp group of course it was. Then again no one becomes successful in any other part of space and thinks it was amazingly easy. This game is about the struggle.
Also appreciated seeing that you took all that time to read the text block and analyze it instead of **** posting.

ROFL, that's a hoot. This forum would literally strip the game down to nothing but pew pew if they had their way. I'm happy for all playstyles to co-exist, they just can;t right now because certain groups are too eager to maintain their overly eager gameplay.

I couldn't care less how you find my remarks. I'm happy to reason with people, but reasoning and conceding are not the same thing. Most people here have absolutely no interest in compromise. They want easy kills and to maintain the current broken status quo. They don't give a crap about balance.

Of course not, though it's easier for some than others. Now try to start up a sizable corp focussed on industry, mining, trading or haling without using NPC alts to do everything, and see how long it takes before you get wardecced into the ground. Like I said before, the only type of corp viable for highsec is a pure combat focussed one. That's obviously broken.

Yes, I remember your little story. And you did what with that? You sit around bitching about how the ability to mass wardec noobs should be kept. Such a tough guy.

Don't get me wrong, wardecs should still exist, they just need to be balanced so that they are more rewarding for taking on capable players (rather than the current form where it's more rewarding to go after soft targets) and require choices of targets not just "dec everyone".

Honestly im starting to get the impression the only content he pursues is forum content at this point. He speaks so much and knows so little it can't truly be any other way.

Nah. He enjoys getting people riled up. Often times I consider him a masterful troll. I doubt that account undocks much (if ever) and is likely industrial or trade based.

Wait.... People get riled up on this forum?
Thats cute

Edit: actually now that you mention it I did see him troll one of the Broadcast 4 Reps threads. Found that a little distasteful.

I fully support varied playstyles.

How about this:

I would be fine with nerfing wardecs in the event every single rat in highsec was able to scramble and had sleeper level DPS and tank.

The wardec corps provide the element of danger to EVE that simply does not exist without them. Nothing should be easy. It wasnt for me, it wasnt for you (if you didnt start out in SMA, I dont know) and it damn well shouldnt be for any newbros.

Actually that isnt a bad idea. It would drive player groups because solo mining afk mining would be pretty much impossible. You would need to group up to deal with the rats.

But they don't provide danger. NPC corp players have no danger of wardecs. Players who roll their corp when wardecced have no danger of wardecs. All you're suggesting is making the game ridiculously hard in another way in order to make it possible for non-combat groups to be allowed to exist.

It was much easier for me, because when I started (in 2005) wardecs were very much limited (having hundreds was impossible) and the population of the game was much much smaller. Highsec corps actually existed so I got a chance to try out a whole range of things with other people before settling in a nullsec group on my main.

It shouldn't be easy for newbros, no but it should be POSSIBLE to play other playstyles in corps with other people. That's what drives retention. Right now it's not possible because veterans who want easy kills farm noobs the moment they try to join non-combat corps. So you're effectively saying that it shouldn't be easy for noobs, but it should be stupidly easy for vets. Thank god you're not a dev.

Let's face it though, that wouldn't happen. Newbies would simply leave because they suddenly can't do anything. They'd join and be forced to find a group before they can take part in any content, and undoubtedly be baited by asshats into groups that get them tackled then run away.

I wonder if you guys even want the game to attract new players at all. Do you not like EVE?

Eve is a PvP game. But not just that PvP, it's the other PvP, including that PvP, with some PvP thrown in for good measure. Then of course there is the PvP to top off the PvP we didn't mention. But we must not forget to include that PvP.

Just wanted to clear that up, as it can get confusing at times. Please carry on. Cool

Of course it is. All the vet wardeccers currently have it super easy. You don't want that to change and you want it to remain impossible for non-combat corps to exist unless they completely nerf PvE into the ground. Realistically you want it to stay exactly as it is, nice and easy for vets, and you threw out a ridiculous compromise.
