That way, inflation in this game would not run rampant because some people just make ISK for the sake of making ISK, and they would be forced to lose their super expensive faction fitted loot pinatas, which would encourage them to buy new stuff and help the market doing so.
It would appear you have no understanding of what causes inflation. Large sums of money constantly being made (missions etc), and very little out go, causes increase supply of money. That makes it less valuable. Moving money around doesnt do a thing to stop inflation. |

Ok, the warning when you join fleets is to let you know that you will be killed by concord for attacking fleet members.
The station won't let you dock if you have attacked them, there is a sixty second timer for aggression. If they attack you, you can still dock.
If you take a can, or are flying something valuable and weak enough to warrant suicide ganking, you can die in a newbie corp. Bar that, you're essentially invulnerable.

Everything is allowed within the mechanics of the game, but when it comes to discussions on what those mechanics should be anything goes. It is important however to remember, as many people on these forums are liable to forget, that there is no disconnected "I'm not effecting anyone else" play style.
Everyone in Eve has an impact, whether they are impacting the market and actively causing mudflation or driving new players away via griefing. As such mechanics must, at times, be designed to limit the negative impact of certain play styles.
No doubt the game mechanics and philosophies have certain goals in mind, but those goals often assume things about player goals. When players goals and/or means of pursuing them don't fall in line with what you had in mind, what do you do? Do you accept it and admit that the nature of the game you created opened this unforeseen possibility? Or do you forcefully guide and correct their way of play, creating camps of those that are doing it right and those that aren't? To be honest I would go along with it if I felt it wasn't damaging to the game.
However I personally feel that NPC alt logistics, high sec war dec evasion and high income high sec PvE does add an invulnerable aspect to the game that generally has a negative impact. I'll admit that this is just my opinion, but it is (usually) supported by relatively sound reasoning.

WHEN I reach the point where Im bored making money WITHOUT people trying constantly kill me (they already try to keep me from making money without that), ill move to nul sec and do it there.
There is no need for ccp to make everyone play YOUR game YOUR way instead of playing their own game their own way. |

Appearantly we dont get the same warning. She WASNT killed or even attack right outside a station and she attack multiple members of the fleet.
You arent listening. She attacked me and the stations REFUESED repeatedly to allow me to dock. NO ONE attacked her (I was carrying mining gear, not weapons so i couldnt attack ANYONE)
YES, if you aren not doing ANYTHING in the game, your completely safe. The minute you leave, someone will try to kill you, one way or another. |

Simple option, and better control of the market : Do not sell to negative security status. And if an alt is used, the sec status penalty follow. Perhaps a new smuggler's heaven in low sec ?

Sounds like a good idea to me the old voting system combined with the npc hauler spawns and even looking at the old npc buy order lists it seems to me that npc vs npc corp warfare of some type even within the same npc empire was getting brainstormed by ccp at some stage in eves design. Maybe they can get back to it after faction warfare's finished ;D. |

OK, I've seen a lot of fail reasons, generalized comparisons and shallow examples being stated by so called leet PvP's trying to incite a change that will force others to play this game a specific way.
Stop trying to dictate to others how this game should be played. Eve is a 'Sandbox' which means there is no right or wrong way to play this game. Eve is not scripted and it allows everyone to engage in various types of gameplay. Whether it's PvP, PvE or a combination of both, that content can be done in either NPC corp or player corp. It's all about freedom of choice. That is what makes Eve great. Each choice has consequences though.
If I want to stay in NPC corp that's my right and my choice. Sure there's no WarDec option but that's a 2 way street. I highly doubt a player Corp / Alliance want's to tango with Empire in high sec. Choosing to stay in NPC corp with the no WarDec option has it's consequences.
Corp mates can't engage others who aggro a member in high sec without incurring the wrath of Concord, even when fleeted. Can't own POS, must use public Science and Industry slots which usually have month long waiting line in high sec. Can't own and control a POCO or collect Tax. Must pay tax to NPC corp for missions completed and NPC bounty's. Must build up +8.00 standing with NPC corp to create Jump Clones.
There's other consequences as well, such as constantly being labeled an alt or spy. Can't take advantage of Infrastructure upgrades in null sec unless it's an alt character of an Alliance member. The list goes on and on but the way I see it, if that NPC Freighter going in and out of Jita bothers you, then do some Recon and see where it's going and jump on it in low sec. Either that or just do the 'quote' player driven content 'unquote' and suicide gank it.
Make your choice, accept the consequences for your actions and stop trying to dictate to others how this game should be played. |

If she's not in your corp she cannot attack you or other fleet members purely because she is in fleet with you. Seriously, go read the warning.
As for docking, you cannot dock for one minute after attacking something. Other than that the only time you'd be prevented from docking is if you were outside of the docking radius of the station. Just because someone is attacking you does not mean you cannot dock.
Although that would be an amusing mechanic.

It isn't about playing "my game, my way", its about people using NPC corp alts for invulnerable high sec logistics.
And corp hopping/war dec evasion for invulnerable high sec botting/ISK generation etc.
Contrary to popular belief high sec is not a separate game, the actions of players in high sec impacts those of us outside. And personally I'd rather not see Eve go the same way as ultima online.

All in all it wasn't a particularly impressive rant on your part.

But even were your claims true, encouraging suicide ganking for the most part just results in players targeting newbies who do not know to tank their haulers. Experienced players with NPC hauler alts or mission running alts are for all intents and purposes ungankable.

Eve is harsh The problem is that giant high sec safe zones, that are only getting safer as time goes by, affect us all. High sec is not some closed system that operates without repercussions, high sec mechanics have just as great an impact on those outside of high sec as they do on those inside high sec.

Who is CVA first? - He's posting for all CVA or his personal feelings?-then let me say it again, he can gank when things don't please him, no need to rabble old stuff about high sec and NPC and yadayada Not encouraging gank noobs whatsoever, never encouraged this and never will. It's up to him to figure out when he can gank or not and assume consequences of whatever he does, not me not you or someone else.
And yes, this is an NPC alt, if someone has a problem with that he can always block it my feelings will not get internet hurt for that

This argument has nothing to do with new players, since it was explained on page one that we're talking NPC corps, not noob corps.
So, please explain to me what the benefit is of having a wardec-avoidance / spy haven mechanic. Right now that's all NPC corps are. They are a place to put alts that can't be retaliated against (in any practical manner) and a place for losing corps to put members to avoid a war. Both of those negate perfectly legitimate and balanced game mechanics and replace them with arbitrary and unfair mechanics.
How is that good? |

How is that good? Dunno, wardecs are pretty arbitrary for one of the parties, and seeing as those are the only actual benefit of being there, well...
Also, what do you mean by "spy haven?"
Edit: What about those who never left the noob corp? |
