EVE General Discussion

Mind you one way or another that can be applied to 99% of the people posting :s very few want an actual even playing field without the odds tipped in their favour.

If I had it my way I'd make is so that attacking parties in non-consensual PVP in highsec meant that for a certain duration (maybe not as long as the kill right lasts) they couldn't leave highsec, can't log off in a station or other structure they don't own and if they log off their pod and/or ship stays in space forcing the use of targettable POSes or aggressor corp owned citadels :O (or atleast means they'd have to accept getting their pod blown up).

(As a side effect this would also make the bounty system kind of work though potentially leave some players open to griefing if there wasn't some kind of cooldown period).

No, I regularly take part in conflict in wormholes but I'm sure you will have another reason ready. My reason is to get more casual types logged into eve giving CCP money. I do understand that making structures perma vulnerable will affect some, but currently they can be wardecced and destroyed anyway. What the change does is preserve current structure gameplay.

Like I said, closed minded. It's not most people's fault they want things easy. But as I've said many times, I don't want to change what eve is, only add something or somewhere that people don't feel constantly hunted. That is the experience of many in highsec, fitting to avoid ganks, using d-scan to check for hostiles, but still occasionally being ganked regardless. They are victims, whose existence is trying to prevent being victimised again, doesn't sound like a fun game. On the other hand, experienced eve players know null is where the real safety is, where you can carebear in peace. This leaves highsec as the lol-zone for stupid newbies who don't know concord don't protect them.

No thread on EVEO is complete without a post from dracvlad where he cries about the wreck ehp buff.

If by put in effort you mean join an alliance and put in next to no personal effort then sure. If you can't see how a 'stupid trap for brain dead zombies' is bad for business then you have no hope. Imagine your favourite restaurant hiding steps all over the place, and all the regulars laughing at the newcomers tripping over. How many new customers will that restaurant attract? Sure, you can reason 'well if they looked they would have seen the step', but how does that help a person who has just fallen over. All it does is make you look like a jackass.

I get the sense that most people around here haven't been noobs for a very long time and are remembering the experience as being worse than it is. I've been around for less than a year, so I have fresh memories - and it hasn't been that bad. This "terror" and "victimization" that people keep referring to is simply non-existent in the day to day life of a noob. This bullying problem that people think is scaring away new blood never rises to level of being more than a nuisance.

What this is really about are old guys who want to move vast sums of isk around without danger - not newbros. You're free to take such a position, but stop saying ti's for the children because the vast majority of the children don't really care.

What we need is a high sec alliance!

We can form with those who are like minded, use NRDS, and want to fight the evil that is out there. It could be a vast organized Alliance that holds a location in Null, has a Low Sec HQ, and can operate out of it to help defend our brothers and sisters. You may think sirs that I am mocking you. I am not! For too long those of you who are tired of the constant harassment have been pushed out of the game due to lack of hope. Against those experienced low sec pirates and their mercenary brethren you felt you had little to no hope for their constant attacks. But the answer is simple, just as CODE was formed to gank miners and freighters a new organization can be formed by those who wish to fight such practices.

They say it doesn't happen until you make it happen. OP this is what we must do! We must form a group of alliances to help defend our space in high sec space against those who would chose to harm us. Anti-Ganker groups would be most welcome allies, a special shared intel channel could be made, alliance channel that can be shared, and voice coms for major operations. We could operate much like Spectre as needed to form defense fleets, use whatever for fleet pings, and become so organized that high sec ganking would become a thing of the past to worry about. It would be glorious! The rise of high sec as a bastion of hope would allow new capsuleers from all over to partake in the vast economy, build ships, mine moons, and earn more profit then they could ever dream of.

I call on all of us to action! We can create a website like those who are evil have and live by their CODE, we will have our own code of ethics. We can call ourselves Warriors of the Light, or WoL. The purpose of the WoL is to create new content that is fair for our fellow new EVE players, get them into fleets sooner, and teach them the basics and more intermediate aspects of anti-pirate and anti-ganking tactics. Enough with the forum posts of the unfairness, if they will not listen then we will make them listen! They will fear us and respect us at the same time as we mine in peace, build our ships, and form our own fleets to harass them for once! We can carve a legacy of peace by force and our fight would be endless but necessary to counter such practices.

We must act instead of waiting for CCP or others to act.

So... what's stopping you.

But if you don't need structures why are you in a player corp? Being in a player corp being quite obviously an invite to be tested on how well you can protect your assets.

It is good game design because now battle badgers have a purpose again.
