I can't help but notice that you are ignoring my question.

Every gank would be punished the same, but with explanation what is player puniishment in case he would try first time. And because the efects would be still unpredictable, I am not a prophet. I only think this would work for more people. Still EVE would be EVE, but with less whine.

New player always make new characters from my experience, I made myself a lot of them in beginning.

Someone from CCP said "honorable"? Now, I've heard it all.

Boring stuff should have been gone away long time before. CCP now uses other players for punishing you if you want to skip watching space slideshow, that because its easier for them. But it hurts the game on the longer run in my perspective.

I do not share your optimism that people would suddenly begin reading warning pop-ups (they never have before)...

Nor am I optimistic that a 2-day old character who finds out a game literally has an option that if he clicks 3 buttons and says "ok" on a warning window he is completely ****ed and literally can't ever do anything in EVE again - at least until after he has made an entirely new character or payed money for a game he hasn't even played yet to hide in station for a month or 2 (whatever your length of banishment is)...

The dead swans lay in the stagnant pool. They lay. They rotted. They turned Around occasionally. Bits of flesh dropped off them from Time to time. And sank into the pool's mire. They also smelt a great deal.

You are underestimating new player I think. He is here to explore all aspects.
And new character after the first one after undocking from the station is not a big deal. And you are giving him choice, its his decision, you have clear hands.

You can give someone a spaceship and say that he will be persecuted for using it wrong way, and punished severely. Is that real world science fiction, for me it is.

So, in your opinion, new players are leaving the game because they get suicide ganked a few times...

But when the game itself allows them to essentially nuke their own cherished character in a much more real and lasting sense, they'll bounce right back?

You sir are delusional.

No, no no, you were talking about new player trying ganking now. I never wrote that new player is ganked and leaves because of that. Its nonsense. My proposition had more to it. Its more deeper than that. Its about whole perception of game, by making some changes to puynishment, changing WIKI article even because of that.

I think you dont understand what I already wrote in all of those posts if now you write that.

If YOU choose to mine or haul then that's YOUR choice. If YOU then choose to watch YouTube, as it's so dull, then that's also YOUR choice. Don't blame CCP for the choices YOU made that lead to YOUR ship getting atomized.

You all are telling me:

- This alliance plays in almost exclusively High Security

- They can use a 10 mil ship to kill a 280 mil ship easily

- They can decide targets and kill them with no risks and no problem.

Statistic says:

- They killed about 30 trillions of ships and lost about 1 trillion of ships value.

- They did it with a 74% or solo ratio.

I think all of this deserves an answer from a Developer, if Falcon or not it's the same, I've read he was a pirate so I suppose he knows the reasons better than anyone else ( maybe he was in that alliance too, I really don't know).


They are enabled to do that. If highsec miners would use tank procurers orbiting with AB on then both miner bumping + ganking would be rare. If freighters would not carry more than could be killed with n/2 value of gank ships freighter ganking would be rare. It would still happen for the lulz, but that ratio would be way way lower.

Some people would say this is "blaming the victim", but well, sometimes it's true that the victim is to blame. I can't change the truth.

I have never said new player is ganked and leaves because of that. Some may, but actual damage is to people who dont want to try, and ones who are established eve players.

I have seen a lot of new players go criminal. It is usually an accident. They don't read the warnings.

I am talking about what your proposed severe punishment is going to do to them.

They make 1 mistake (and they will) - and *boom* - they are essentially dead. They have no skills, they have no ship, they have no isk, and they can't even undock in high sec.



As for denying that ganking pushes people out of the game now......If ganking isn't a problem, why do you want to change it?

I have to be missing something here.

I have been a HiSec resident from the start of this toon. I have ventured into WH space, dropped into Lo/Null. I haven't seen an epidemic of ganking and I live right next to Uedama.

I have been attempted locked ONCE by a potential Suicide monkey. I was alert and was already warping by the time I was being yellow boxed, no chance of getting me. I was in a Stabbed and quick spin Miasmos with less than 7mil of cargo. That was my only encounter with suicide ganking in 6 months. I've only lost 1 ship to another player and that was due to my own inexperience and stupidity.

So, what is this epidemic of suicide ganking that I'm supposed to be shaking in my boots over?

I'll say it again, take me out and I will make certain to make your life miserable, one way or the other. There is only one way to effectively deal with bullies and racketeers:

Clearly you have not read all of my responses, dont try to ask about what was already in them., I will not repeat myself over and over. Its an issue that needs solving in delicate manner.

And on that note, I think I had enough conversations today, because its all too much for you. You have not been able to grasp in entirety.

I dont think CCP grasps it also.

Well others have already said - since you want to fundamentally change all of EVE - find a different game....

I'm just trying to talk about 1 specific point, not your entire grand plan.

If you can't answer 1 basic objection about 1 detail of your plan, I really don't see any point in moving on to the grand scheme and the many other flaws waiting to be discovered...
