So im sat looking at the threads and im asking myself, surley these people cant be this damn stupid, the more i read the more im convinced, yes your are inface that damn stupid.

Lets go back to 04 when lvl mission rats used to give 1mil bounties per bs killed and 500k per bc killed, i also remeber my 0.0 main, there was alot of pvp because our alts made the ISK needed to keep up the fleets.
Then came the mission nerf because a bunch of no job pvp elite monkeys screamed loud enough and ccp was stupid enough to listen to them. And so PvP dropped off because our alts made about 1/4 of what we used to make on a daily basis, so pvp drops off, more people are ratting, mining in null trying to make isk, getting ships down. It started to go downhill from there.

Then Goons came and royally ****** null and empire up rather quickly.

Then incursions came, awsum way to make isk, but griefer corps rose to get *faction* battleship kills for the kb's.

I am also noteing how the *elite* griefers and pvpers who routinley mess up empire corps are now complaining about the lack of players in eve online. Ironic no? They very thing you complain about, you caused to happen, let me outline it for you.

You grief new corps daily, these corps shut down
New players quit because they cant join any corp without being blown up (forced pvp)
Tax rate on npc corp raised because *elite* griefers and pvp complain about a lack of targets
Market prices for basic t2 modules and ships rocket because there is now a lack of indy corps because they are routinly screwed over. Now the russians control the market.
No new recruits for pvp corps in null because empire griefer alts are making new players quit
0.0 regions (apart from hubs) become deadzones, player numbers drop off
Again all caused by the *pvp corps* themselves.
Empire can be busy but alot of the time now its not
Recruitment channel used to 1500-2000 on the weekends fri-monday now its more like 300-600 - again, people are now quitting because they are sick of being blown up.
New pvp corps die out because *elite* corps dec them and take them camping non stop

A friend of mine started playing two weeks ago, he has been in 6 corps since and each one has had random decs levelled at it and 1bil in isk ransom demanded. Should this be allowed to continue?

And now you jihading incursions, why? Because you screwed up null sec with your empire alts actions? Your griefer corps actions? So u attack another section of eve that brings in new corps? New players? Well done, another way of destroying the game.

I know im gonnaa get flamed and trolled, probbaly war decced as a result of this post. but here is my message to the pvpers of eve

YOU complain about the lack of the new players, corps, 0.0 warefare, YOU routinley grief new corps and alliances that could grow into massivley new alliances and pvp corps.

YOU have only YOURSELF to BLAME for the fact EvE Online MMO is dieing, because YOU, the PVP COMMUNITY, are to blame, you hark on about carebears, go ahead, but everyone starts out, or 90% do as carebears, YOU are the ones DESTROYING this game, you want the game to change? YOU have to chaneg your HABITS AND GRIEFING WARS to sink this in.

You have only yourself to blame. CCP is not at fault, the game is not at fault, the pvpers of eve are at fault, you want null sec to become fun again? Get out of empire and get back into eve pvp as it was ment to be played. Because after 07, eve become a slow dieing train and YOU the ELITE PVP GRIEFERS are to blame.

Go ahead n flame, the more u doe it, the more u prove my point. Your just to stupid to see your actions in the short term massivley effect the game in the longterm, narrow minded individuals.

And before i am called a *bear* and a *newb* I was in the orginal CA/5/BOB and have lived in null since 04 to 2010 when id finally had enuff, i have pvped in fast gangs,.bombers the works, so dont throw childish insults

So by your argument every single null sec alliance is down on player numbers and the only reason they are down on number is because of the anon nerfs..

Dude I would love to do that, but most 0.0 corps that go and recruit noobs do it for podding purposes once they take em out to their space. If you can find a group that genuinely wants to take a newbie in and show him how awesome 0.0 can be, I am ALL in.

Just saying that if what you say is true, and all null sec alliances numbers are down and it was caused solely by the anon nerfs then that's cool.

You gave me a very good laugh with this comment, I've started has everyone on high sec and met very nice people, we've done stuff together until we get tired and tried low sec then null sec.

I'm now in some decent corp/alliance and Ive never seen that much people with nothing else to do of their journey than in null.
It's a self employed guy passed 40 that tells you that, a guy that by some chance knows some interesting people around here that are also active people. But I also know some unemployed or retired ones and all I can say is that we can never speak the same language.

C'mon what can you ever say to make someone understand 70M in a stupid Tiers 3 battlecruiser is far over expensive when the guy you're talking to spends 8 to 12 or + hours playing this game and making 3 to 5 billions per month just with PI ??

You spelt it wrong. OP was talking about GRIFING, which is clearly different, because it means playing the game contrary to how the OP thinks the game should be played.



no really, I don't know what griefing is in this game, for the single fact that since 99% of everything in this game is made by the players for the players, the very fact of "griefing" as the OP thinks is, actually helps the economy.

why?

no shooty-shooty -> no boom-boom
no boom-boom -> no new bling-bling
no new bling-bling -> sad producer
sad producer -> depressed miner
depressed miner -> no shooty-shooty!

Wow.. okay you have me at a loss now lol

Lets recap and if I have missed something then please point it out to me, it does happen often I will admit Smile

So, I rasied the point that regardless how much you would increase the isk values of anons, it would make very little difference to people moving to null, my point being that its not the isk that make people to go to null but other factors.

You then stated the Pre-anom nerf Dominion expansion debunks this claim.

Okay so asked for numbers, it seems the in-thing to do these days.

You then talked about various alliances and how there numbers have dropped, insulating that this was a result of anon's being nerf'ed an no other factors being involved.

Then there was a bit of banter, something which you seem not to be able to do, maybe you should work on that, it is a game after all, no need to take things so serious P

Then you deny that you said anything of the sort, whilst at the same time referring to the time period when anons were nerfed...

I'm so confused.

As for my pet theory.. wasn't aware I had one, I do believe you are the first person in this thread to comment about the reducing numbers of null sec alliance members.

In fact its the first comment I have seen in any thread regarding null sec alliances losing members which I do find quite interesting if this is indeed across the board.

Well I gess there's still something wrong about the anoms, because anoms still give isk, enough isk when you manage to do some but gess what you do'nt even need to scan anoms, all you have to do is use your directional and warp to so what does this means? -chances you get blown are very high and chances you recover your loss easily if you don't have all day in front of your computer are close to 0.

Plus, you'll probably buy another ship on local marker 30 to 40% more expensive, those being sold by the alliance tenants and if you see some cheaper they're all sold with neutral alts because no one wants to get caught or it's the door.
Null looses people? sure, the richer, the older players never have enough.

And as long as RMT will still win, well, make your own opinion.

Hell no, not because it isn't a ******* awesome game, it's just the playerbase has a large deal of asshats that seem to what to do nothing more than ruin the fun of anyone who isn't them. If this were done in pursuit of legitimate in-game competition, it would be one thing, but it is (a majority of the time) done for little more than lolz and tears


fixed with the addition of underlined text (I assumed that is the unspoken part of why you wouldn't recommend Eve to a friend, I apologize if I am incorrect)

Devour to survive, so it is, so it's always been Eve is a great game if you can get past all of the asshats....

There is always going to be two sides. Those that PVP, in low and null, interested in things that go boom, and those in empire that have no interest in PVP whatsoever. They just want to be left alone to do their thing. I've never understood why people in low and null space are obsessed with trying to force PVP upon them. If they play eve, and enjoy it, because they work spreadsheets, mine, haul or play the market, then whats the problem? As long as their money is flowing into CCP, then all the better.

Ultimately its the minority, that sucicide gank to collect these peoples tears for their own amusement, that are harming the growth and development of eve. It's already got a massive learning curve, so its always going to be a challenge to get people to stay playing. If the aim is to let people get the hang of the game in the safety of empire, before moving naturally to low/null space, then griefers are achieving the exact opposite of this. Whats the problem with people wanted to do the things that you lable as "boring". Its like, OMG, why don't they like ships exploding?!?!?

Eve is a great game, for the exact reason that each individual player can get out of it what they want. No matter how much you scream "PVP Bitches!!" in carebears faces while you blow up their ships, it isn't going to suddenly convert them into PVPers. Quite the opposite in fact.

Can't people just accept that some people actually play eve for something other than explosions? Roll



You're an idiot. Really, a complete numpty. To claim that if you mine, haul or trade you don't engage in PVP shows you have little to no understanding what Eve is and how it works.

Let me break it down to you in simple terms. If you are a trader trying to get into a market, you are trying to make whatever you are selling more attractive than the other guys, and the only way to do this in Eve is to make it cheaper than his. Therefore you're competing against another player so you make the ISK, not him. It's Player Vs. Player. Simples!

As for explosions, who the hell doesn't like explosions, and if not, what are you doing in Eve? The whole idea of the game is conflict, not to mention that almost everything in-game is directly connected to something, somewhere blowing up. If stuff isn't being blown up, no one needs minerals, no trade on the market because nothing ever needs to be replaced, no manufacturing because no one buys anything.

Let me put it this way. Eve is not, and never will be a single player game. If you don't like it, unsub and go play Hello Kitty online, where everything is fair, nobody can mess with you, and you become one of thousands of faceless players unable to forge your own path because it''s a souless ******* theme-park.

Hands of my Eve nublet, just cause you don't get it doesn't mean CCP needs to change.


Yeah, heard that one before. I guess its a matter of the definition of PVP. PVP for me means when you're in combat, fighting against other players, as a distinction to PVE, fighting against computers. In eve, you can't have PVP without ships shooting at ships. As i said, PVP is the driving force of the eve economy, but by no means does that mean if you do a profession like mining, hauling, industry etc that you are directly participating in combat with other players.

Take a player that just does missions. Doesn't bother with all that looting or salvaging marlarky, just in it for the bounties. How is that PVP? Or say a miner that just mines and produces mining equipment and mining ships. That's not PVP either under your definition. How about someone in a freighter that just buys commodities at a low price and moves and sells them somewhere for a higher price, (As in, not stuff that you can use for pew pew). That also doesn't fall into your definition of PVP.

But if i were to make and sell a bunch of guns, under your definition, im successfully helping to blow someone up somewhere? Or is it more like, Yeah, sure did beat the hell outta someone on the market today! That in my book, isn't PVP.

Seems to me that screaming, omg its a PVP only game, is just justification for shooting people that aren't interested in PVP. And there are plenty of those people. Constantly trying to is just going to make them unsub, which ultimately, is bad for eve. So whats the prob in just letting them do there thing? Roll

For the record tho, i don't fit into that category. I do shoot at people occationally, and i definately don't live in empire. Roll

Post with your main, like a BOSS!

And no, i don't live in highsec.  As if that would make your opinion any less wrong.

The major issues with null is not the ability to make isk, but how you are treated by alliances when you are there.
Care to back this claim up?

Also, the confusion you're experiencing is that when I pointed out that nullsec had a far higher population before the Dominion anom nerf hit, you made the leap in logic that I was claiming that the current low numbers in nullsec were entirely because of the anom nerf, precluding the possibility of other expansions since Dominion that additionally skewed the risk/reward ratio of 0.0 compared to other sec-space.

Since you claim that risk/reward/cost has nothing to do with null population, and that has more to do with 'alliance treatment' it begs the question: did all sov 0.0 alliances get meaner and more autocratic suddently 2 years ago to account for the drop in population?
