Originally by: Lord Mudekai Honestly I think if EvE is supposed to be a PvP game then why do they have all these other activities/professions you can do instead of PvP?
Because they are PvP too.
That is why EVE is a PvP game (and not just "supposed to"): because everything you do in this game is done in competition with other players. If you mine until your head explodes, then someone else will go without ore, because you took it all. Blowing you up to bring that competition to a grinding halt is an entirely valid way of getting you out of the way.
Quote: If EvE is supposed to be a PvP only game then they need to remove everything else, mining, missioning, industry etc and just leave PvP.
And again, it already has removed everything elseà well, nearly. There are exactly two things in this game that are not subject to PvP: clicking the "request mission" button and clicking the "complete mission" button. And those two activities are there because the biggest PvP arena of them all ù the market ù needs some ISK to grease its wheels.
You cannot play EVE without competing with other players. If you don't want them to compete back, you have to go somewhere else, because this game will not, and cannot provide the peace and quiet you are looking for.
Actually I argue that placing a command center on a planet is not a form of PvP (yet). once you start extracting resources, however, you're affecting other players (to a greater or lesser extent). --Vel

There are times you just dont feel up to the cheap dirty tricks of people and don't feel like pvp and are not looking for a fight. We should have a choice, and there should be more drastic repercussions for attacking someone who isn't affiliated with an enemy corp.. for attacking neutral type cargo runners etc.
That's what I meant by "hurrah for jump clones". Sure, sometimes you want to have a "safer" time playing the game. There are plenty places in Empire that are pretty safe. As people have said, you're never absolutely guaranteed safety anywhere in EVE, but generally speaking you can relax in Empire most of the time.
So train up that Infomorph Psychology, get good standing with your favourite corp (that has good Agents in both hi and low sec) and get yourself a few JCs, so you can take a vacation when you get bored being on the alert all the time, and get back into the thick of it when you get bored being relatively safe all the time. Have a few well-stocked "home" stations, one in safe Empire, and one or two out on the wild fringes for your daredevil forays into Pirate space! *****

lol why are this convo still going...
A.) the GM said no - figure it out kids
B.) Look at the ships killed in the past 24 hrs on the map an scroll out so you can see empire. Yes I realize theres more ppl in Empire than not but thats my point. Where there are more people in EVE its MORE dangerous even IF you have the CONCORD safety blanket -------- Dammit, they killed the post where Sreegs says personal attacks are against the rules. I wanted to lol at him for that |

Why not? Every time I hire someone or a group to protect me, it is in fact THEM that kill me! So I should be allowed to have some NPC protection. At least they won't stab me in the back.
Originally by: BrundleMeth I can't believe someone would be so stupid as to start a thread like this. What an idiot stick....
Because I don't play in the sandbox YOUR way it makes me an idiot?
Bottom line is mission runners need more protection in null and low sec.
Step 1. Join a nullsec alliance Step 2. Go do your mindless carebearing in 0.0 --if your own alliance kills you leave and join another Step 3. Monitor your alliance intel channels and watch local --it's not like mission running and mining are so mentally tasking you can't multitask Step 4. If neutral or enemy players enter the system dock or cloak Step 5. Grow up |

So what you're saying is that you let every shuttle that enters local disrupt your ISK making until such a time as they decide to move on?
Sounds like you're really in control of your game...

Quote: Ccp might get rich, if they come up with a server where no pvp is possible
i thought about this for a while.
(1) in a server with no pvp- there would be no sinkhole in the markets for pvp ships or victims of pvp i.e freighters, mining barges (i would take a guestimation and say that around 90% of ships in eve are lost due to other players killing them.
(2) this in turn would make it almost pointless for traders to exist- there would be no need for traders since virtually no one would need to replace ships, item ect
(3) mining would be pointless, most of the minerals in eve are mined to meet the demands of a pvp orientated makret- therefore no pvp- no need for much minerals- kiss whatever isk you make on mining goodbye.
(4) even moon mining, wh sites and lowsec sites would be rendered pointless- as i said above ANYTHING that is used to build ships/items within eve would be more a less useless and you would see tech 3 sell for 10-20 mil (complete guess)
(5) the only thing worthwhile doing would be missions for the bounty.
Eve is built for pvp- without pvp, the market would crash as well as all ship prices and items
peacetime= depression economy for traders war= booming economy for trader (world war 2 taught us that)
what i think would be a good idea is a temporary no pvp server for new players for a week or so (of course they can leave anytime they want- and bring their assests with them onto tranquility) but limit availability of mining ships on that server so as to prevent people taking advantage of the no pvp rule.
In conclusion i would think that the existence of a no pvp server would not work- and virtually no one would use the server. If you dont like pvp then look at some guides to assist you in protecting your assets and STAY IN HIGHSEC.

Originally by: Sofia Bellard Just like the title says; I should be able to focus on the task at hand instead of watching over my shoulder to see if there is some pathetic trying to sneak up on me.
Doing missions in low sec and null demand full attention or you will find yourself in hull from the mission rats. Why should I have to enlist a second person to watch local and spam the directional scanner because someone wants to push their PvP on me?
I didn't do anything to you so why do you want to start a fight?
Sorry but this is a pvp game!
Even when you run lvl4 missions in empire, you are actually pvping with everyone else in the universe. Stopping you from generating ISK will only make my ISK worth more, so yes HI-sec secure income should be removed since there is no way to counter the ISK-war these folks are waging against the rest of us.

Originally by: Sofia Bellard High sec is dangerous too. Two people in Tempest battle ships blew up my Gila after we argued. They died from the police because they broke the law, so I fell better. I was only fit with low tech modules. I asked them why and they said they did it for the laughs out louds.
Now I don't mind other people from having fun,but when their fun interferes with my fun, then there is an issue.

Originally by: okst666 A while back, my wife played ryzom... they have something interesting there - a button to opt out pvp. You cannot agress other players or be agressed by them. I think something like that could work in eve too.
EVE has that; it's called the undock button. If you don't want to PVP, don't undock; it's that simple.

Originally by: Sofia Bellard You know what? Fine. Everyone just jump on the "Make Fun of Missioners!" bandwagon already!
Just to shove it directly in your face I am going to mission even more. Going to make local go from top to bottom of my screen, fit a cloak and always be aligned to a safe spot. Happy?
I'm going to make a **** ton of ISK and there is not jack **** your going to do about it. NOTHING! How do you like them apples SUPER LEET PEE VEE PEERERS!!!! So while you all fight over scraps over some poor hauler who took a wrong turn, I will be sitting back and enjoying my ISK flow.
Go on, fight for those table scraps, DO IT.
Couple of things to help you here but first. I want to make you light up on a specific subject. Did you ever ever hear (type or cry in local) that a pirate, pvper or some dumbnut didn't catch you cried about it ? did he ever yelled, cries, qq'ed or say anything thats not fair...well just like you do right now ? I never did. ever.
No that wasn't an insult. That's what eve is. harsh and hard. People here don't like it when others cry. Well they do cause they will take advantage of them but...you know what I mean by now.
Also, if you tried to get friends to do missions in low sec and they killed you, change friends or corp. Seriously, they suck and those are not friends. Getting your entire corp in low sec and learn pvp will help you a lot in this. If you know how pvp works and you start thinking like them it might be easier for you in the end.
Oddly enough, it's easier to missions in nullsec than low sec but that could be my views when I was there. Thats the only thing I could tell you to help. You could also change agent in low sec since now every agent pays the same and are not in relation to their security. A quality 0 will pay the same as quality 20 now. --------------------------------------------------
Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.

I cannot place an extractor where you placed a command center, you cannot put extractors down on that juicy pile I have decided to mine out, but you can put some extractors around mine and run short cycles to attempt to deplete the resources I have access to, but the whole thing is not exactly worth it...

do you guys remember de ccp video of butterfly effect? some random guy is flying in low sec, then see a poor hulk being ****d by pirates, he needs to have a choice, save him, or just shoot at him -then be ****d by the pirates-
in the reality, a miner or poor man carebear in low, is just, FRESH MEAT. There are no hero's here... only a few local pirates or just random guys who want to shoot something at.
If this were a true sandbox, you should see more people fighting these ****ers too, that leads to: more fun in low sec, more pvp, more traffic.
Maybe that carebear is making profit, but at least is moving supplies to other system who needs it too.

I completly disagree. I have seen a lot of heroics, intervention and have had my own ass saved by strangers on many occassions. There are far more people in low sec especially trying to avoid PvP than there are people looking for it. In null sec their are far more people ratting and other PvE type stuff than their are wars, PvP battles etc.. Its just a perception people get wrong because they don't actually go out their. In truth there really isn't as much fighting in low and null sec as people think. You will see more death in Jita on any given day than you will see in entire regions of low sec or null sec.

Move your ass carebears! i want my supplies in low sec systems.
btw i want facts, more experiences to believe that. To me, low and null smells death. Last time i moved to null for fun, i was trapped in those anti-warp bubbles, there was one in every jump trayectory to the low sec gate. Luckilly i killed the bastards in their shiny ships. While firing the bubble, 4 ships popped out from the gate (80km distance) every military ship locked me and tried to open fire, only scout and probe did not.
So , my experience in null is little, but that little was full of death and evilness everywhere. Low is just either boring for no action, or deathly by piracy actions.
