*Here's the petition I submitted concerning this issue...*
Something needs to be done within the game mechanics in order to give mission runners the ability to protect themselves\their assests when running missions when it comes to ninja salvangeners. I can't believe this exploit has continued as long as it has without the ability for pilots in high sec to protect the fruits of their labors. I can't understand why the developers of a game would permit such a loophole for such disrepectful behavior\game play, it's as though they're promoting it by doing nothing about it. I have no problems with PvP and getting owned because someone is better skilled and equiped than me, but to allow other players to come in and salvage my wrecks without me being able to do anyting about it just doesn't make much sense to me? If other players loot the actual wreck I can engage them, but if they steal my salvage I can't do a damn thing???? This doesn't make any sense to me at all???
Can't the developers include some type of salvage options within the game to allow certain groups to salvage a players personal wrecks? For example, couldn't there be a salvaging option that allows players to choose who can loot their salvage, like: Corporation Only, Alliance Only, Group Only??? Something to effect where if a ninja salvenger came in and started salvenging my loot it would trigger an aggression timer just as if he had looted the actual wreck? This way it would at least allow me to attempt to protect what I have worked hard for? I don't know if this is the solution, but something needs to be done about this issue.
If nothing is in the works to correct this exploit and CCP allows and promotes this type of game play in their product, then I will have to reconcider paying for my two accounts and take my business else where. I have plenty of friends playing Vanguard I can join up with. I'm not the only person this is affecting either, and I have a friend who is currently playing too and he's thinking about quiting because the ninja salvenging is starting to become more and more frequent. Please, just give us the ability to fight them off and defend what we worked for...and shooting our wrecks isn't the solution! I love playing EvE and don't want to leave it, but this issue is one I'll stand up for and fight for because it's unfairly balanced and needs to be addressed\fixed.
Thank you for you time...
*and the GM's response was....*
Hi,
Thank you very much for your suggestion. As we in the GM team have no direct ties to the Development team, I suggest that you post about this idea and any other ideas you might have for optimizing and improving the game in the Features and Ideas Discussion section of our official forums.
The Dev team regularly reads it and takes feedback into consideration while working their hardest to improve the game.
Here is a direct link to the section: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=channel&channelID=3523
If you have any further issues, please don't hesitate to contact us again.
Best regards, GM Macayle EVE Online Customer Support
The loot I get from salvaging is 60-70% of my income, and allowing other players to come in and basically steal it from me is not something I enjoy and will not pay real $$$ for. I'm not going to pay some bully to tie my hands behind my back and let him punch me in the face while I sit there helpless. I petitioned with my dollars and canceled both of my accounts, and I encourage anyone else who is serious about this issue to do the same. I love EvE and don't want to leave it, but I can't sit there and watch other peeps loot my wrecks while I'm tanking 15 BS'es in a lvl 4 mission. It's flat out just not fair, when you plan on going back and looting those wrecks for yourself. End the socailism CCP...CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNTS IF YOU AGREE because money is the only thing they will listen to! And when you cancel your accout\s let them know why!
