Coming to a thread near you to defend horrible ideas and people who think space violence is real violence! Incorrect again. Geez man you should really learn to read posts. Effectively you're upset that I don't like wardecs as they currently are and want easy gameplay to be made more challenging (because seemingly you hate challenge) so you're now trying to insult me too. Space violence doesn't say anything about you, but your posting style says a lot. Calm down friend, it's only a game.
Can't say I'm upset at all really. I could also care less what you think of wardecs. Nice try though.
Also, everyone knows Veers is you and you are Veers. But it's comical though, so we enjoy it.

Yet another diversionary tactic so you don't have to try to form a counterpoint.

That's exactly what you would say if you were trying to deflect the actual point that you are defending a crazy man. Veers.

Wardecs should definitely be nerfed, as they support easy gameplay (which you like, as you hate challenge) and prevent the existence of varieties of playstyle being pursued by highsec corporations.

Why is it you hate being challenged in games and feel the need to spend all of your time attacking and insulting people? You realise that's not the best way to pro e the guy in your OP wrong...

I feel like Spock in the star trek reboot when the other dudes are trying to provoke him into flipping out. Dude, you don't phase me, everyone here knows your full of crap. The only toll here is you, and I must admit I'm flattered to have taken up so much of your attention.

You're the one who keeps ignoring the discussion points to insult me (also, let's face it, you started the thread to troll a guy). Everyone here can "know" what they want, it's irrelevant to me. Fact of the matter is, you support easy, challenge-free gameplay and I support balance and varied group playstyles. You barely even attempted to make a counterpoint before you started slinging attacks around so I take that to mean you have no relevant opinions on the matter.

Please show me a single time I have ever said I don't like challenge. You are the one advocating carebear land, not me.
Edit:
Speaking of challenge, how about you come to the next thunderdome competition? Ill show you how much I enjoy challenges personally. Of course I know you wont come, but hey, the invite is there.
My vision of EVE is full of danger, hard times, and meaningful victories.
Your version of EVE is a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiener" while mining away with no danger, no point other than to print ISK, and the challenge of "running" a high sec industry corp? Be still my heart. All the excitement is killing me.
Lets not forget, we must all stand up for the nutbags that think space pirates are pedophiles. Because you defend those people. Because thats the right thing to do.
Come to thunderdome, Lucas. Show me you are up for "challenge".

Leto Thule wrote:You are the one advocating carebear land, not me. No I'm not. Not at one point have I suggested anythign for the sort. Wardecs should even still exist, they should just follow a normal risk rward curve where you get more rewards for going after people that are more capable of fighting back, and less by going after rookies that can't fight back. They should also be limited enough that wardeccers have to choose between targets, not go after everyone. CCP knows this and undoubtedly will make changes before too long.

Of course I know you wont come, but hey, the invite is there. No, I won't, because I don't enjoy the things you enjoy. The great thing about EVE is you can be challenged in a variety of playstyles, there's not just one way to play. You like shooting ships I like crushing numbers, building ships and trading, and flying logistics in fleets..

Be still my heart. All the excitement is killing me. No, your version of EVE is one where only your playstyle is any fun, while you fly around one-shotting rookies and fapping over your killboard. Mine is one where there's a wide variety of playstyles each with their own challenges and barriers. I certainly won't be running a high sec industry corp because I don't live in highsec, but someone running one should be an option.

Fapping to my killboard? Wow there is a fantastically disgusting thought, and now you are tossing insults around. Getting upset are we? Anyone who knows me here knows I give zero f***s about my killboard. I am only interested in having a good time. One shotting rookies? Nope, cant say I have ever done that (well, not on purpose anyhow).
I respect the number crunching aspect, and good on you for it. I am not smart enough to do that, always been pretty horrific at math, and after looking up what the "pros" do to manage their production stuff, well lets just say ill leave my spreadsheets at work where they belong.
But thats not why you wont fight in thunderdome... you are scared to lose a ship. You are one of those guys who still hasnt figured out that ships ARE ammo, and if you had, you wouldnt feel the need to make such a freakin fuss about a noob losing a ship and that somehow being "bad" for player retention. I am PROOF that being wrecked keeps a player in the game, buddy. Not the other way around.
You want people to set their own barriers? Ok, thats great, and a valuable aspect of the game. However- it does not grant them the immunity from how others want to play. How can you say that its OK for a new player indy corp to do whatever THEY want, but a wardec corp needs to be toned down? PERSONALLY - I dont like the 100+ wardecs at a time corps. I feel that most likely thats just an excuse for hub campers to chill out on the Jita undock and blap stuff. But there are people who play that way, and they make their ISKies from it. They are entitled to their game style as well as anyone else.

I've always been horrible at combat hence my reluctance to join in on a thunderdome.

I am PROOF that being wrecked keeps a player in the game, buddy. Not the other way around. See, here you are making multiple assumptions. First the ludicrous idea that I'm scared of losing a ship. Why would I be scared? I avoid it, sure, but I've got a ludicrous amount of ISK and I've made the "ships are ammo" comparison myself on several occasions. I have no problem losing ships, I just have no interest in the style of play you are interested in.
You're also making the assumption that I think losses are bad for retention. That's wrong again. Losses are an integral part of the game. The problem I see is that in highsec there are veteran players who take the easy targets to avoid their own losses (like 99% kb efficiencies) at the expense of several styles of play. I want to see varied styles of play and losses from all of them. Yes, NPCs need to be tougher as part of that based on the level of the activity, trading also needs a heck of a lot more risk and cost, and things like wardecs need to be looked at so soft targets are less rewarding than capable ones.

By being able to wardec hundreds of groups and go after soft targets they don;t just make it tough, they make it impossible for other gameplay styles to thrive in groups. Decently sized highsec corporations should not be for combat characters only.

I don't want to see a perfectly safe highsec. But when I see veteran players hiding behind CONCORD, paying a small fee for the privilege of using casual and clueless players as clay pigeons, I can't shake the feeling that something is wrong.
We keep hearing how dark and dangerous EVE is, but it is really only dark and dangerous when you play a single account. Alts and multiboxing allow for the mitigation of risk and consequences to the point of irrelevance.
You have to look at people who've really learned how to exploit the wardec system, to see that there's a problem. For someone like me who only plays one account at a time, a solo wardec is in fact a risky endeavour. But I recently watched one guy and his band of alts rip through a bunch of cookie cutter PvE corps, inflicting billions in damage via kills on industrial ships with the clever use of innocuous-looking shell corporations, which he dropped his well known combat toons into at the last moment. There was no risk or challenge for him. |

Perhaps not, but I see that situation as the wardeccer IS the challenge for his targets. He is filling a position of content provider.

Quote: 2. Be respectful toward others at all times.
The purpose of the EVE Online forums is to provide a platform for exchange of ideas, and a venue for the discussion of EVE Online. Occasionally there will be conflicts that arise when people voice opinions. Forum users are expected to be courteous when disagreeing with others.
3. Ranting is prohibited.
A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.
4. Personal attacks are prohibited.
Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not conductive to the community spirit that CCP promotes. As such, this kind of behavior will not be tolerated.
