Crime & Punishment

I just posted on the thread in general discussion. It kind of kills the hunting aspect of the game and pushed mercs to be more like ...fill in the blank... And sit in Jita and Amarr all day or just camp the pipes. Not real happy about it but I guess we will see.

For a hunter who uses the watchlist as a means of finding people and locating them, I find the change to be destructive to a point that I'm actually giving up that style of play. I've been pretty vocal about it in the GD threads. But it seems CCP rather commit a broad stroke to fix some the Nullbloc are whining about, rather than making an intelligent thought out nerf.


Which to be fair it's really their style. I am pretty upset about it, personally. There are some ways to uses the watchlist nerf to your advantage for wardecs, but largely it involves using it against Large merc corps. Which although would be fun. It completely annihilates all other aspects of the game style.

This I can agree with, if your your in null or low, and wormhole this won't effect you much, but being a highsec merc this effects us a ton, now we can no longer find those targets who people specifically ask us to kill, agents become completely useless and it's back to a guessing game. Thanks for ****ing us, where's the steak dinner.

I kinda like the idea

Only pot luck way around this I can think of now is perma alt flying around space and 2 others sitting in lvl4 agent station spamming locates.

Since I didn't use it much anyway (a lot of wartargets stay logged on all the time......just to fish the watchlist....), I am very gleeful that now wartargets won't be aware of when I am online.....


And that should make them...very nervous...;)

Also, this opens up new careers in hisec....Professional Scout. Think about it.......for a reasonable fee I, Sam Spade, will fly down those mean stargates and find the scumbag you are looking for.

Also also, gives the newbros something to do.

Yay for internet connection losses and double post.

Hey I like you, You a cool dude.

But don't tell me you're one those "The one true PVP is out Nullsec" Kinda dudes.

Get on your knees and show me love, I play the game how I want to.

I have a recurring dream that some day people like you will realize that most of the highsec mercs have backgrounds that don't involve highsec. Until then, enjoy your delusions.

I'm kinda pissed to know that if I go back to a small merc corp (where there are only 3-4 active hunters),
I'll have to spend more time looking for the guy (if he's online or not).

Sure the target doesn't know if you're online either, but most carebears don't know about the watchlist in the first place.

Sure it helps for the LS/NS titan pilots, but it leaves smaller mercs in the dust
