Highsec player is an exclusive category (the whole point of being a highsec player is that you're only in highsec); low/nullsec are inclusive categories (just because you're in low/null doesn't mean you don't have a highsec alt for various convenient purposes). Thus we know that the highsec category can only ever lose members and the number can only ever go down as potential members fail to adhere to that exclusivity. Quote:And the assumption your making, is that the number of players residing in Hi-Sec *don't* have an equal number of alt accounts - thereby totally cancelling out the "low/0.0" alts numbers. No, because the assumption I'm making makes the alts of highseccers irrelevant because we're not counting how many are in that exclusive category GÇö we're counting how many are not. That's the whole beauty of an exclusive category: it gives you a hard upper bound and an easy way to whittle that number down. The alts of the highseccers do not cancel anything out GÇö they're already counted and are irrelevant for the number we're interested in. A Null Bear would be torn into little pieces in Low Sec and the wolves would then spit up his corpse cause it was unworthy of being devoured. Unless he is rolling with the 24/7 1000 Capital Ship blob hot-drop crew.
Really? I found low sec to be a relaxing place after living in Curse, and I had a lovely 3 month holiday pirating.
In any case, Tippia is correct. It doesn't matter how many hi-sec alts high sec players have because we know the total number of characters in high sec anyway.
Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

So why do you count them together?
Oh, and the guy that says living in NPC Null is much harder than Low Sec.....
Well that is a good point, isn't it Tippia?
Can we really count NPC Null people as the same as PC Alliance Null Space people?
Totally different situation actually.
It seems we have to reduce the people actually in PC Alliance Null Space even further.

I think you're inflating your numbers by counting anyone who's ever been through a low/null system as "not highsec" and assuming an unfounded number of "low/null" alts.
Perhaps we should turn the definition around and count low/null as only those who never go into high sec? After all, just because your highsec doesn't mean you never pop through low.
Does CCP publish a definition of those terms/player types? Because I'm pretty unpersuaded by yours. |

How many people with a Null Sec alt spend most of their time trading Jita or running missions?
If someone spends 75% of his time running missions with one character and 25% of his time mining in Null Sec with the other, then is he Null Sec or High Sec?
Most people don't argue with women. I treat people equally. We can go round and round all you want.

The stats in QEN show a picture of where the pilots actually are when the snapshot is taken. Of course the sooper dooper null sec heroes want to diminish the statistical picture so that high sec players are not as huge a percentage of the total population as the real statistics show. Because of course only the sooper dooper null sec players know anything. The last Quarterly Economic newsletter I can find is from 2010 and shows that 85% of the pilots in the game were in high sec at the time of the snapshot.
Of course I am arguing from facts and not from guesstistics, so I am undoubtedly wrong. The truth is that an embarrassingly large percentage of EVE stays in high sec and does care about the other parts of the game. Those who don't like this statistic are desperate to spin the argument in some other direction. Because high sec players are very low on the social scale.
Not that it matters. CCP does not listen to high sec players. They can't, because they have their collective heads up the GOON butt.

Greetings capsuleer,
To believe what you have said I must believe that:
- The company is willing to ignore a major percentage of their players to the detriment of their business
- The company is willing to pander to a minority within the population to the detriment of their business
- The company still shows positive growth after doing so
- The various conspiracy theories and anti-Goon Swarm Federation rhetoric has some basis in fact
- Sufficient capsuleers residing under the safe wing of CONCORD are upset at this to make change happen
I cannot believe all of those, thus I reject your entire premise. The company remains viable and they are growing.
Regards,
Shian Yang |

The corporation I currently operate out of is quite alt heavy with each player having: 2-3 x high sec logistic alts in either in alt corps or NPC corps 2-3 x high sec PI alts in NPC corps 2-3 x high sec market alts either in alt corps or NPC corps 1-2 x high sec incursion runners either in alt corps or NPC corps 1-2 x high sec spy/gank alts in Empire Corps 2-3 x 0.0 "mains"
This might sound extreme but as the situation dictates alts are scrapped and new ones made or de-subscribed until needed - it is pretty common and makes the bandying around of 0.0 vs High Sec numbers redundant.

Greetings fellow Minmatarrian,
It is interesting to see you have listed pilots that prefer the lawless frontier of nullsec as the primary pilots, with a large number of co-pilots spread across the rest of New Eden. Your observation of your corporation appears to mirror the point capsuleer Tippia has made.
Especially considering that 5 to 8 of those co-pilots would be fairly passive and remaining 3 to 5 would see occasional use.

Shian Yang |

Again, that's the beauty of using an exclusive category, and what I'm saying is simply that the mere fact that null/lowsec players have highsec alts means that the actual percentage of highsec players must be lower than the 70% in those graphs. How much lower? Well, that's up to what ratios between higsec and non-highsec characters on those accounts. A simple 1:1 ratio (which isn't much of a stretch to imagine) would put the number of highsec accounts at as low as 30GÇô40%. This is where the alt uses you mention might be a factor, but it doesn't change what we know for sure: that highsec does not actually account for 70% of the accounts.
According to Tippia almost all "Null Sec" players have alts in High Sec.
Also, according to Tippia, anyone who spends any time at all outside of their favorite Sec., High/Low/Null is not really that sec. IE: No True Scotsman. For that matter, it doesn't seem to matter if they spend ANY time on that alt. Hulk got wormholed into Goonworld and hasn't been logged onto in 5 months? Player is still -¼(Highsec)
So obviously it is true that:
99% of players -¼(Nullsec)
Because almost everyone has an alt somewhere outside of Null Sec.

I think the point being argued is that for my two nullsec characters (My PVP Main, and my Cap pilot) I have multiple support characters scattered throughout highsec, datacore alts, cyno alts that I tend to leave in high right next to low, and I have two trade hub alts so I can get some general price comparison for some items.
I honestly don't even know how you would begin to quantify a real number without some kind of forced census on login as to whether a player considered himself a nullsec, lowsec (Haha) or highsec player. |

I don't care if you hate me and call me names, but some lowlife making stuff up to hurt people in their real life is just wrong.
No proof? Are you suggesting that there is no proof, in the present or past of devs favoring specific players groups? Really? I mean really? For real? Not a tiny bit of proof?

Firstly, given you still cant say ********** on the forums it shows not ALL THAT MUCH has changed. Quote:16. You may not engage in any activity that increases the difficulty and/or expense of CCP in maintaining the EVE Online client, server, web site or other services for the benefit and enjoyment of all its users. Gotta love that reasoning when you ban the guy outing the dev doing something wrong first off k hang on http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/op-ed/847-Jumpgate-EVEs-Devs-and-the-Friends-They-Keephttp://www.warcry.com/articles/view/interviews/1458-JumpGate-EVEs-Devs-and-the-Friends-They-Keep-Part-2http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/68794-JumpGate-EVE-Dev-Wraphttp://kunochan.com/?p=90http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/68608-Jumpgate-EVE-Devs-UpdateSo if you want to be purposefully ignorant here, IE you wont read it, do us a favor and dont post about stuff you refuse to educate yourself about Quote:Also, never shoot the messenger. CCP is mad at K-man because he went straight to the community, instead of privately reporting his suspicions to CCP. Yet it seems clear that without the GÇ£ruckus,GÇ¥ CCP would not have responded. Besides, K-man is not a CCP employee. He is a community member, and his loyalty is to the community. He pays (paid) for five different accounts GÇö CCP works for him, not the other way around. Quote:Developer misconduct
Instances of developer misconduct in Eve Online have been substantiated, leading to debates and controversy within the game community. On February 9, 2007, a player known as ********** revealed that Eve Online developer t20 had provided his alliance, Band of Brothers, with ten valuable blueprints, giving them an advantage over competing alliances. Some within the Eve Online community asked for t20's dismissal. While an apology letter was left for the community in the form of a dev blog, he remained an Eve Online developer until late 2008. ********** was permanently banned from the Eve Online universe for violating the game's terms of service and end-user license agreement by revealing t20's real name.
In response to public concerns, CCP decided to set up an internal affairs division whose responsibility is to monitor the activities of both privileged and player accounts operated by CCP staff in-game. Council of Stellar Management
In part due to the matters above, CCP invited users to stand for the first Council of Stellar Management (CSM) in March 2008, resulting in 66 candidates seeking election to nine positions. It was a requirement that candidates release their full real names in addition to stating their in-game details.[106] In May, after a two-week voting period, the first Council was elected, comprising seven men and two women; three each from the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, two from the USA and one from Denmark, their ages ranging from 17 to 52.
The remit of the Council has been changed since it was first proposed and is now seen by CCP primarily as a route for players to make requests for changes and improvements to the game mechanics, presentation, and game content of Eve Online. Funnily enough, the CSM was part of the knee-jerk reaction to the pressure caused by the scandal As to why, you would prefer to be blissfully ignorant while they do it again?

Quote:So obviously it is true that: 99% of players -¼(Nullsec) Unknown. What we do know with absolute certainty is that the 70% highsec character population means that fewer than 70% of the players are highsec players.
Nice strawman, though.

This could be fixed but Dev is busy making sure his Null Sec buddies can have 2000 ship fights.
Yet they cant do the same for Jita

Quote:Again, since we *can't* know the total break down of people/accounts/characters who have interests in Null, or those who have interests in Hi-sec - the total numbers might as well be made up out of whole cloth. No. We can still say with complete certainty that the number is much larger than the 30% (actually 34.7%, but it's not as round and easy to remember). Why? Because we know for a fact that these people have alts in highsec, and we know for a fact that the GÇ£highsecGÇ¥ players do not have corresponding low/null alts, because that would mean they're not highsec players by very definition. Highsec player is an exclusive category (the whole point of being a highsec player is that you're only in highsec); low/nullsec are inclusive categories (just because you're in low/null doesn't mean you don't have a highsec alt for various convenient purposes). Thus we know that the highsec category can only ever lose members and the number can only ever go down as potential members fail to adhere to that exclusivity. Quote:And the assumption your making, is that the number of players residing in Hi-Sec *don't* have an equal number of alt accounts - thereby totally cancelling out the "low/0.0" alts numbers. No, because the assumption I'm making makes the alts of highseccers irrelevant because we're not counting how many are in that exclusive category GÇö we're counting how many are not. That's the whole beauty of an exclusive category: it gives you a hard upper bound and an easy way to whittle that number down. The alts of the highseccers do not cancel anything out GÇö they're already counted and are irrelevant for the number we're interested in. A Null Bear would be torn into little pieces in Low Sec and the wolves would then spit up his corpse cause it was unworthy of being devoured. Unless he is rolling with the 24/7 1000 Capital Ship blob hot-drop crew. The small pirate bands and "lone wolfs" in low-sec do no want to be considered "the same" as Null Seccers. They are not the same. They are not even remotely the same and you are basically lying to call their interests "the same" as a Null Bear. If they can make it in Low Sec then they COULD be in a Null Sec Alliance IF THEY WANTED TO BE. So again, stop with the lying. I know, why don't you do a poll on how "cool" Low Seccers think Blob warfare is. NOTE: Collapsing space into one point with instant teleports for massive capital fleets is an example of extremely poor design. Hi, I have done exploration in low sec, high sec, sov null sec and npc null sec. I have also raided wormholes out of high, low and null.
Quite simply your post is utter rubbish. Low sec is easy to live in. Nothing with a cloak will ever caught, you can move around scanning with impunity, large swathes of it are mostly empty with a station in every single system... The list goes on.
Please do not post on topics with which you have no experience, it wastes our time, makes you look stupid and is nearly as bad as outright trolling.

I'd also like to add that as an ex-director of a 350 man low sec pirate alliance I can assure you our interests do largely coincide with those of null sec players. Perhaps a little bit of hate over raiden controlling low sec tech moons due to force projection, but by and large our interests coincide.
As I have changed over the last year from low sec pirate, through to low sec care bear, null sec care bear and finally an NPC null care bear my interests and the interests of those around me have remained markedly constant.
