And yet many people come to these forums and complain when they get wet lol. I don't know if the OPs idea is necessary, but it would be nice. Even with that there will be those who dislike the reality of any given situation and will pretend it's otherwise, just like those people who relive high sec should be 100% safe and that "EVE should be for everyone".
Pretty much this.
These forums are an apt example of just how blind some people can be.
How many GÇ£whaaaa I got ganked and now I'm buthurtGÇ¥ threads do we see here every week?
Not that it will make any difference, if people havenGÇÖt worked out that EvE is about PVP by the time they finished the tutorial they most likely never will.

im gonna be honest when i first got into eve a few years ago. i created my first character. i had the understanding that eve was a dark universe. i took this as a "lore" darkness and i got the impression that eve highsec was 100% safe. but fortunately i came into the game wanting pvp. got into a corp pretty quickly and i learned the art of evefu. but even with creating a new toon recently i still find eve lacking in the people will kick your ass when they want and where they want depertment. |

I don't think a 'warning' would make any difference to people posting about Highsec losses.
The crimewatch system and CONCORD are what lead to the highsec posts. The "law" system provides an impression (that is untrue) that Highsec is supposed to be 100% safe. With all of the buffs to crimewatch and buffs to things like mining barges players have had this impression reinforced.
I'd like to see something change in how CONCORD operates that isn't so absolute as the current system is. Perhaps a longer delay before CONCORD shows up but make it so that warp disruptors and scrams wouldn't operate for the first ten seconds of a fight or until CONCORD appears on grid or something - this way players who are attacked can escape (if they are at their keyboard and can withstand the initial volley) while making attacks in Highsec slightly more common.
The biggest reason for the belief that Highsec is -supposed- to be 100% safe is because attacks in Highsec are so extremely rare. When someone experiences a suicide gank for the first time it almost appears that the people participating in the suicide gank are exploiting or cheating somehow. Of course, they aren't, but it can feel that way to someone who thought (because of how Highsec is portrayed and how rare these events are) that Highsec was completely safe. |

Honestly I am amazed that people are/were so against something like this. I mean, if it were like a EULA that you had to scroll to the bottom to get past and the whole thing was just line after line of "This is a PVP oriented game, if you undock you can be shot at" with a check box at the bottom that said "Never show this again" and then an Ok (allowing you into the game) or Cancel (which shut down your client).
I don't see why that would be a bad thing, unless people wanted to lessen the potential knowledge of newbs to make them even easier ganks. C'mon CCP, let us suicide gank the high-sec pub matches in Dust..... |

Eve you should do what age of wushu did. when you log in you get a warning saying this is a pvp oriented game. you have to accept such warning. and if you haven't played AoW it is kind of similar to eve. that you can be attack anywhere if you want to or not. and you can kidnap people and sell them to brothels but that's another thread.
but maybe if you ad such a warning people wont get the idea that there are "safe" zones and will be less butt hurt when they are killed by for the first time.
what do you all think of something like that.
Eve needs warning klaxons and flashing red lights for at least 3 minutes before logging in, very loud klaxons! In between the red screen should be a white one with warnings in large block letters "WARNING" "DANGER" "YOU ARE IN DANGER"
After this goes on for a bit the screen should go black for some moments, then a small green dot which begins to pulse and grow, eventually revealing the Eve login.
The forum login should be the same. -áCorebloodbrothers & Ali Aras for CSM: Ring mining & bottom up income, new player balance, NRDS

That would ruin the game for griefers....
Griefers depend on CCP's complete lack of real game information to scam and grief. If CCP actually laid out the way the game really works to new players, the screams and tears of the griefing, scamming kids might sink Iceland.
The single biggest danger to EVE is the proliferation of ALTS! Kill an alt today!

If this, then I want to undock straight into the middle of a furball, every time, lasers pew-pew-pewing and autocannon blasting.
If not, then EVE wouldn't live up to the hype.

I don't know, sometimes the calm before the storm and the dread of something unseen and misunderstood can be pretty potent device.

This is the second time I have someone post this about Wushu.
I suppose you could give a warning pop up, but it really won't change anything other than cursing CCP every 100th time you had to click through the pop-up. "Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby". If you fantasize about being immoral it means you enjoy being immoral deep down. |

The calm before the storm and build-up is when you're sitting in the station, arming your hull... Undocking should be that moment of horror when you realize you fell asleep behind the wheel and are now going the wrong way down a busy four-lane highway.
And the on-coming traffic is heavily armed.
