EVE General Discussion

There are certain reasons around the algorithm that decides what drops, meaning that it is often better for the ganker in terms of expensive items dropping if you use cans.

Sorry for not stalking you around, having read all your posts, having knowledge of your political views and perverse tendencies.

Is it normal in your view, for other people to know exactly all of the details surrounding an internet persona? If you've posted it in this thread, then I can just say that I haven't read the whole thread through thoroughly, nor would I remember your specific view in a topic. While I know you do lurk around these forums a lot, I honestly don't find you interesting enough a character that I would note down in detail all your views and notions on game balance.

Yes, you can sigh now, if it somehow makes you feel better.

I just responded to part of your post. Cause it reminded me of the thousand complaints I have heard about wardec balance and how unfair it is to the defender. While in reality, it is quite the opposite.

Also still wondering how 1M cargo fits into a single DST, containers or no.

dec fees increased , merc entities formed

watchlist went away, mass-decking becomes the modus operandi.

those are two different things that happend years apart from one another drac.

Why? I am not giving that to you, do your own analysis.

That's because it does not fit into a single DST, its fairly simple, alt scoops to DST, freighter pilots scoops out of DST, rinse and repeat.

Nobody is denying that mass deccing occurred before the watchlist changes, but there were other options.

Now they're pretty much the only option, hence the use of the word "becomes".

I disagree it was the main mode of operation before the watch list change and it happened because of the war dec fees being increased. That is my opinion, you have a different opinion. I was actually keeping a fairly close watch on war dec entities for the last 5 years because I was debating trying it out.

Can you share?

And I repeat most people do not use them.

This is an example of "they didn't think it through".

People have all sorts of ideas about stuff (even the DEVs), and they think it's a brilliant idea. Then that idea comes into contact with reality and does the exact opposite of what was intended.

I remember the old pos based sov system everyone hated. Some of us predicted that Dominion's sov system would be a disaster, we were shouted down by the crowd that said "you just want to keep your advantages, you are scared of the idea of small entities being compettive in null sec!!".

Result: The BLUE DONUT that was several times WORSE for small entities than the old sov. Those small group guys sure showed us....as they sold themselves into rental slavery just to stay in null sec LOL.

Same with the Barge changes. "But more EHP will mean the gankers will have a harder time!!!"

Result: WAY more ganking.

"YEA! low slots for my Freighter! Eat it CODE"

Result: "WTF you mean the ganked my empty freighter? WTF?

They just don't get it. You cannot "legislate away" you enemies by lobbying CCP for changes. Enemies ADAPT and many times, the changes you think are going to help you end up SCREWING you. Hell, the 'bad guys' love a challenge.
