EVE General Discussion

There should be severe consequences for attacking and destroying non-war targets in high sec.

Instant drop to -10 security status, and a 2-3 second warp delay for all ships while at -10. Old school Ultima online had severe penalties to stats for "going red". Eve should as well.

The warp speed delay would only be applied in high sec.

It would certainly mix things up a bit if there was more penalties for "going red" in highsec - but I'd extend it somewhat to the bounty system and war dec system (for parties on both sides) as well :evilgrin:

Yeah right
And I'm a goon...

There is the 'sad realist' part of me that agrees with you - and that will indeed be a very sad day. Actually, I more 'hopefully' think that this could happen because someone else realises there is a particular niche in the market and we get two such games - and there isn't room in the market for both.

Even more likely than that, however, is that the wonderful people at CCP will get increasingly poached by those other pathetic 'entertainments' for more money.

For I assure you that the world needs at least one game that is actually more realistic, more challenging and more worthwhile than all those other useless carebear-world excuses for 'games' - for otherwise (queue hyperbole) mankind is truly f*****.

Moreover, if we could actually get all the pychopaths and amoral ratbags in the world to play in EVE rather than IRL - then the whole world would be a better place!

What is really wrong with all those who come to EVE is that they come with no other experience except that of: WoW; Ark; Space Engineers; Star Trek; Star Wars; My Little Pony; & Pokemon. Youngsters who have become self-entitled dolists who know nothing about the real world because they aren't taught anything - the ones who never climbed trees or took childhood risks.

What EVE really needs is a marketing effort that expresses the realism within a game environment - and poses the big question:

'Are you good enough to rise to the challenge of playing EVE Online?'

EVE needs real penalties to suicide ganking in high sec. Not this slap on the wrist, negligible risk BS.

Its become far to commonplace and a preferred pvp activity vs roaming low/null and facing opponents who will actually shoot back.

This is a large part of what makes EVE such a joke of a game. Suicide gankers risk next to nothing for potentially tremendous rewards and the costs are so negligible that its commonly used as a griefing tool.

forum posting:
- 0% of getting ganked
- 0% need of buying a permit
- 100% secure

I live in WH space and what happens in highsec doesn't have a huge impact on me. However I do think wardecs are "mostly" used as a means to get lot's of free easy targets to pad killboards.

Criminal activity and suicide ganking is fine. It teaches people to be cautious and play smart. It also ads content.

I think if highsec wardecs were removed, those people would move out into lower security space to find content. More people in highsec would stay in the game and create their own player corporations (They currently hide in NPC corporations). When more new players stick around, more of them will buy PLEX. When these players sell PLEX, the the prices will be lower. Let people who don't like PvP enjoy highsec (other than the occasional suicide gank). Eventually they may want to make more isk to PLEX their accounts themselves and they will move out into less secure space.

Did I mention that I like low PLEX prices.

*Edit*
Actually, the ability to wardec corps with POCO's and such would have to remain... Or the ability for player corporations to own them would have to be removed.

No..Eve needs real players of a game that is played exactly how it's intended. If Eve is such a joke to you..why are you here and what does that say about you?

lol wouldn't want people able to fight back now would we.
