EVE Information Portal

Let me start by saying that I love the game of EVE. There are so many options and styles of play - posibilities are endless.

Being a hisec industrialist I've previously objected to odds not being even when getting decked - PvP is not my style of play, I dont like it, I dont want it.
I'm fitted for industry, NOT for PvP, and this is the whole core of the problem.

Me with my 5 industrial accounts cannot enjoy having a corp.
And with these new changes, it will be pure stupidity for me to create a corp.

It is a god idea to streamline the war decking system, and I'm all for new and improved stuff, but what I dont like is to be forced into a style of play I dont want and have no interrest in.

The previous 2 times I created my own small corp, I got decked and had to dismantle the corp again. I have no chance of wining, dont want to PVP, and just have to be a sitting duck - where is the fun in that?

I have previously suggested the idea of a "Small Corp Protection Act", allowing for small corps with a limited number of members to enjoy their style of play in our world of EVE, and choose NOT to participate in the war decking system if they dont want to (Checkable option in the corp settings).
What this number should be is not up to me to deside, but somewhere around 8-10 members sounds reasonable to me.

Of cause a "soft" carebear suggestion as this, is way out of line and basis for massive denigration, but it is still my oppinion.

As it stands now, I've choosen to cancel 3 of my 5 accounts . This in my oppinion is NOT a good sollution for the world of EVE (all of us) either, but the style of play I've enjoyed for allmost 6 years now, unfortunately is not "allowed" any more.


In general I would like to say to CCP that all expansions, new content and especially possibilities are most welcome, and keeps EVE being the best game to be part of, just dont force people into a style of play they dont want.

I really hope You will consider some form of "Small Corp Protection Act" allowing players for themselves to deside how they want to be a part of EVE.

Trying to kill people is a type of gameplay. Making yourself invulnerable to other peoples attempts to kill you by pushing a button is literally anti-gameplay.

Both styles are valid gameplay ... in a sandbox, you can't say either one is invalid ... so Joe's logic holds ... double standard.

So, the idea here is to get the defender corp to try to fight back, by providing them with a non-dockable war target - which can be destroyed and which the aggressors are forced to protect (or lose the war).

It doesn't matter where the aggressor chooses to put their POS, as long as it is required to be in high sec (which prevents you from putting it at the other end of the galaxy, behind a massive wall of null sec alliances). The aggressors will no longer be able to just wait for advantage in an NPC station, before going out to harass the defenders - now, they would also be forced to come out to defend/rep the POS, or to try to anchor a new one during the war.

It's pointless arguing with someone who refuses to think outside their mental fortress of "I'm being griefed if someone attacks me". EVE is a PvP game and you should never be safe (<-this coming from a self-avowed carebear). If you haven't noticed, "terrorist" is a perfectly viable career in this game.


So if you're using a moon in high-sec that I want to put a POS at I shouldn't have any way to remove yours? Way to cater to veteran players.


Cost scaling is a big issue, as nearly everyone in this thread with a head on their shoulders has pointed out.

I'm actually fine with POS wars .... in fact, agressors should be required to anchor one as well before wardeccing ... in order to provide some level of risk for themselves.

It's funny to hear all the PVP'rs talk about "accepting risk", when in fact they are the ones living with low risk ... they're not spending weeks setting up POS's, building thinks, researching things, etc. .... put somehow they are 'Leet for being able to gank with a smaller skillset? Pretty funny ...

....those who pay 72% of the bill.

I like the way so many are ignoring the ability to hire mercenaries to do the fighting for you if PvP isn't your thing.

I guess you're referencing population distribution in Eve. I'm fairly sure most people did what I did, created a character which is my main then filled the 2 other slots with characters I barely use or don't use it all. Unsurprisingly these characters are still in the high security station they were born in. If everyone did that, and its reasonable to assume its a good rule of thumb, then that puts 66.6% of all characters in high security space, even if the main is flying in 0.0. It's not very clever to try and manipulate statistics to back your argument in such an obvious fashion as its easily seen and draws attention to how bad the basis of your argument actually is if you need to resort to such blurring of the truth.

The mantra of "This is a PVP game therefore everyone should face (combat) PVP" isn't really helpful either to players or CCPs revenues. Eve is a sandbox, it should support as wide a range of play-styles as possible in order to get as many people subscribing as possible, even *gasp* completely safe carebear styles.

There are already play styles that are risk free - I can sit in a station and day trade for example. Also many people who are 0.0 based still retain an alt in the relative safety of HS for their ISK generation (clearly a game breaking mechanic).

The ONLY requirement on CCP should be to ensure a balance between risk and reward. If CCP wanted to make regions completely safe this wouldn't break the game, so long as there were no big ISK faucets there.

Again, you refuse to think outside your little box. Not everyone wants to wardec industrialists nor do they do it to take down POSes (although this is perfectly legitimate). There's a corp out there that decs anyone trying to setup shop in their system; they want the place to themselves. I just recently executed a wardec in order to press-gang some guy into my friend's corp; the guy joined up with my friend and we "won" the war.

Players in EVE set their own goals and that's what makes it worth playing.
