EVE General Discussion

If it's true they should make some new event where Concord decides to go on strike for several months....

let's see subscriptions explode to the fastest growing rate ever!

Hisec is mechanically safer than it ever has been, if you don't do something daft. Suicide ganking has never been more labour intensive and expensive, war has never offered such a poor return on investment; the only reason that there is any risk left in hisec is that the people who provide it have adapted to each and every change that sought to curtail their activities.

Can flipping is gone.
Awoxing is for all intents and purposes gone as it can be avoided by simply flipping a "switch"
The safety catch was implemented to stop people accidentally flagging themselves for Concordokken.
Concord response times have been buffed, as have their ships.
Crimewatch 2.0 simplified the confusing maze that used to be hisec aggression mechanics, and allows anybody to shoot a suspect.
Mining ships have been changed to offer choice.
Haulers have been changed to offer choice.
Insurance has been removed from ships used to gank.
War has never been more expensive or hard to prosecute.
Suicide ganking is now an expensive and labour intensive activity.

TL;DR You're safer than you have ever been. God help you if Helicity shows up and organises another epic event to show you how unsafe it can be with a big wallet and a concerted effort by hundreds of players.

suicide ganking isnt expensive, nor it is labour intensive, unless you target big frieghters, but even then its simple and doesnt require much more effort than steering a ship and pressing a button. as for solo ganking, all u do is to sit in some spot, wait for a target to come in, and press a button and poof, done. target gone.

awoxing isnt gone, only for corp hopping awoxers, awoxing corps can still do whatever they want.

And that is the point. You certainly understand the issue which CCP fails to understand.

Your post just screams "opinion made on zero experience or knowledge".

i could explain to you why im not inexperienced and why i know stuff, but you would likely ignore that, so ill just say, go and look up my killboard, ull see why im not as dimwitted as you think.

Try reading what I wrote and try again.

Nowhere did I say it wasn't possible, and your KB somewhat proves my point, there's an awful lot of frigates and pods on it.

Masqerading as a mining/missioning corp is reverse awoxing, flipping that switch doesn't take effect for 24 hours and each and every member of that corp is given notice that you've flipped the switch the moment you do it.

Ummm everything in Eve is fairly simple button pushing when you get down to the nitty gritty of it, what's your point?

my point is is that ganking isnt really labour intensive, while some people call it labour intensive.

of course there is alot of frigates and pods and other stuff, probably because i did tons of other things besides ganking, and why would you not shoot someone that is suspect. its not like there is an unending stream of haulers filled with loot undocking from jita or whatever place you wish, so you might as well shoot frigates while youre waiting for the valuable hauler to undock.

yes, it costs much, and you arent always lucky when u kill something and the loot drops. but if you do it right and select the right targets you can easily make tons of money from ganking.

More evidence than the "ganking hurts sub numbers" has.

It was only a matter of time before the "General Discussion Requirement for Evidence" showed up. That requirement can be summed up as : "I reject your argument on the basis of you having little evidence, despite the fact that my own belief is based on zero measurable evidence".
