Imagine Real Life.

You set up a tournament of whatever you want and you bring in security to make sure that people don't come and crash the gates and ruin the proceedings.

But the point is that it could still happen in real life that some yobs come in and ruin the event: they could attack the spectators, they could even set off explosions or whatever.

This is what could happen in a sandboxed arena that everyone tells you to make. What won't happen is that that some magical being will make sure that your event will run smoothly and as to script.

This is the beauty of Eve and, in fact, the whole point of the game. That is: anything goes. Having an arena which no-one can invade or interfere with runs against the whole grain of the game.

Even the space areas beyond Accelerator Gates aren't separate lumps of space with magical doors; you can still get to these the long and slow way or someone could be there already waiting...

This is what Eve is about. And changing that changes the basic fundamentals of the game and very few of us wish this.

I hope that this makes things clear.

Hey. I didn't say what you fake-quoted me saying. Problem with some people is they think their brains are infallible computers, and whatever their brains spit out they think MUST be irrefutable facts. So, if someone comes along and disagrees or (heaven forbid) resists these peoples effusions of genius then "I got no idea what's wrong with you.And i don't care." is their invariable response.

It's obvious you don't know. You're told that all the time, but you just don't hear it. You say you don't care, but if you don't care you wouldn't have to say anything about it to anyone since...you don't care. We know what's wrong with YOU now, and thanks for inadvertently revealing this to us all. We weren't interested, but you insisted.

The word you're searching for is "understand", i.e., you don't understand. And, that's understandable.

If we get chased by zombies, I'm tripping you.

First of all. This is the world of science fiction.
And in real life I would have had the opportunity for example.
Steal money from the account of another player or his ship.
But no one says that the absence of these opportunities - against the whole grain of the game.
So there is a huge gap between our world and fantasy.
Something is taken from real life and something doesn't.

Developers already made that what you're saying.
This is an area Jove space in which there is no direct access.
What kind of grain changes you talk me, if it exists now?
I just want to demonstrate how worthy it can be used.
And small innovations such as a table of the tournament, in which people will be able to register themselves.

In fact I want things that are already there in Eve.

"Dear CCP,

Please remove effort, reward and consequences from this game because I am lazy and don't like it.

- MaxaOhbka"

That about sums your whole position up, no?

Like I said before, like so many people have pointed out - why do you want to fundamentally change the game when there are plenty of other games out there that are clearly far more suited to the type of play you prefer?

Why do you want to remove what makes this game unique?

Why do you persist in denying facts of existence such things in EVE?

I would say
-Dear CCP I missing in game events.
-What I have now is a piece of paper for calculations column.
-I would like further logical development of existing game mechanics.

As an example of implementing, I can tell you a story.
If you are not afraid of a small Cognitive dissonance.
As was said to me previously - generate some sand for a sandbox.

The reply to which has been and always will be that if you want events of that type then it is up to you to either create them or find people that have already created them

You already have all of the tools you need to achieve your goal, it's not our fault if you can't be arsed to use them.

You have absolutely no idea how the sandbox works do you?
CCP don't just generate sand and hand it out willynilly, that goes against the ethos of Eve. They give us tools to make things out of the existing sand. On that note there is a finite amount of sand in the sandbox, albeit quite a large finite, if you want some you have to take it from somebody, if you have some then expect somebody to try to take it from you.


In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

And once again, I point out to you the glaring failure of logic you seem trapped by.

You don't actually want to play EVE, you want to play some other game that works in a fundamentally different way to EVE.

So go play that other game instead of making nonsensical arguments to change this one into something else.

Aside from the alliance tournament, for all intents and purposes Jove space doesn't exist, it is CCPs playground and theirs alone.

A contest ladder? Are we talking a tournament with elimination or a ladder tournament? They're entirely different kettles of fish. Either way, do what everybody else does, find somewhere out of the way and have at it, the data and results side of things is normally done with a website, a format much more suited than anything a game not designed to have this feature could provide.

No, you don't. You already have a bucket and spade, what you want is to laze around drinking a piña colada while somebody else uses them to make mud pies for you.

And without me game will change, people i see start to complain that they afraid login capital ships.
And think how to get rid of them, then how do you like that? I can't imagine that happen some day.

If you are here for a discuss, what do you think happens if CCP make what i ask?
Do you realy think that will be different game?

You literally make no sense at all, in at least half of what you post. Now you are saying the game is all about you and that without you cap pilots won't log on? Seriously?

If CCP was to "make what I ask" it would literally turn EVE into a totally different game. Again I refer to the difference between Texas Hold'Em poker and Bridge - they are both played with cards but there, the similarity ends. I like poker, I don't like bridge - but I don't join bridge games and then complain endlessly about how it would be so much cooler if we made it more like poker.

Why are you so obsessed with changing EVE into a totally different sort of game?

It's as if you enjoy pounding your head on brick walls.

I don't, so I think I'm done feeding this particular troll.

All this fictional game universe exists as long as there are fools like me who believe in it. One sector more than made-up one less, let it be a Pirate sector, I do not mind.

Yes with elimination like this

My guess is lots of players would love something like this, if it were implemented well.

I also think it would be a less scary 'first step' to PVP for newbros.

Not sure I understand the rage from players who oppose the concept. I personally wouldn't consider it 'real EVE PVP' but it also wouldn't affect me in a negative way. Would probably give it a shot sometimes, too. Like practicing on the test server but more easy to organize.

It's not that we oppose it, it's been possible for years; what we're saying is that if it's going to be done, it should be organised by players, the rules enforced by players, security from outside interference supplied by players etc.

Eve is touted as a player driven universe, CCP gives us the tools, and in some cases plans, to build stuff, and it gives us the tools to destroy stuff, sometimes they give us new stuff or ways to build and destroy stuff. What they haven't done is take things out of the hands of the player when it comes to creating things like the OP suggests.

If there was enough demand for it, as evidenced by large numbers of people from disparate groups taking part in such activities and groups when organised by players, then there would be a case for CCP looking at putting an official stamp of approval on it, much as they did with alliances.

Currently the overall demand appears to be low, there's plenty of PvP out there if you want it, some of it is literally login and shoot someone in the face, pretty much whenever you want.
