Please biomass the toon now and save yourself the headaches down the road
You realize the game is made to be fun and then the lore is written around that, not the other way around. The lore doesn't actually make sense the way it is, if gates record everyone who comes through and puts them in local why do people that jump into system via other methods than gate show up in local (jump drive, medclone jump, etc)? Doesn't go with the lore. Maybe you should actually learn the lore yourself before you come to the forums being a douche.
I am so in support of this idea. Local chat is making PvP more stagnant than any other mechanic in Eve. In a sandbox that is advertised as hardcore and unforgiving I don't see why we need an auto infallible intel tool. In a game of skill like eve, scouting should take more skill than the ability to count heads in local. If you have a roam, and you don't use proper scouts a larger fleet should be able to gank and kill you. Now days you don't need proper scouts because you can see a local spike clear as day. Local chat makes pvp'ers lazy and unskillful. We shouldn't have to live in a WH to not have our hands held in Eve. If I wanted someone to hold my hand I would play WoW, yet I am hear so CCP please stop holding our hands. |

Removing local would fix this a lot, and it would also do something about the NAP-infested stagnation (pilots need to stay closer at home to keep it safe, and thus alliances have to pick more fights with direct neighbors to counter boredom-rot)
First and foremost I would like to say I support the removal of local. Maybe add some type of intel tool in it's place so you don't get insta ganked any time you try and rat or something, but total removal would be better than the perfect intel-local we have now.
With that being said I think the NAP-infested stagnation stems from another problem besides local, jump mechanics. It is way too easy for an alliance to hold and defend assets all over Eve. CFC can get a 100+ man fleet anywhere in Eve in under 5min. It is far too easy for major alliances to cherry pick all the good moons because they are so easy to defend. Location has zero relevance in Eve, defending a moon that is 60 jumps away from home is not much harder than one that is 2 jumps away, broken game mechanics. |

Did I forget a zero? 1000+man fleet? |
