Same effect. No, it just means CCP is so caught up in pleasing a small percentage of their player base, when clearly there is a larger portion that wants more PvE aspects added. I bet if CCP were to really do something about adding WiS and more PvE elements, this games subs would go through the roof. Yep, but it wouldn't be EVE anymore. And I wouldn't be playing it. Things are only impossible until they are not.

I bet if CCP were to really do something about adding WiS and more PvE elements, this games subs would go through the roof. Yep, but it wouldn't be EVE anymore. And I wouldn't be playing it. Well see, CCP did not make this game to placate only a small portion of the gaming community. I bet CCP wants to make tons of money. Your few dollars would mean squat if they gained 10k players. Except that the only thing keeping this game from falling on its face is the player generated content aka nullsec. EVE is built around nullsec. Everything, until recently, existed to support nullsec and gently nudge players towards it. Things are only impossible until they are not.

Time to abandon all illusions of choice, limited as they were and abandon ship then? Nullsec is the purest part of the EVE sandbox. Things are only impossible until they are not.

The game is not all about null-sec. Never has been. It is because of this fact that a few. like yourself that whine and moan about the rest of the game, that the rest of the game is constantly being shelved to address a small percentage of players. There are more people playing than just you - remember that....many, many, many, more. We've seen your hi sec community in action with the recent incursion nerf. "We're a vital and relevant roleplaying community CCP and the bonds we've forged will endure through time" --1 nerf later-- "ISK/hr for incursion not good enough I'm gonna solo level 4s again" Yep. You guys totally have the drive, determination, and skill it takes to build a nullsec empire. You only complain about it because nullsec is too hard for you because it would require you to form real connections with other people and actually fight for something. Things are only impossible until they are not.

That is the truth of the matter. There are far more pople that play this game on a more casual basis. They are not interested in holding territories. They just want to play a sci-fi game. EVE is one of the only really decent sci-fi games out right now. If another triple AAA - good sci-fi game - was on the market - that had the same sandbox qualites - EVE would die. Translation: I indeed affirm and swear I cannot cut it in nullsec. I bet you used to do vanguards. Things are only impossible until they are not.

Doesn't even have to have as much PvP as this game has - it would bury EVE. Oh my, another person who thinks a sandbox is some kind of ultraliberal hippie "be anything you want to be whenever you feel like it" dream. Fun fact: The real world, where you have a job and taxes, is a pure sandbox. You can do anything, but you must acquire the prerequisite capital (resources), team (friends), and knowledge (science) to do it. Nullsec is the closest you can get to the real world in EVE. Things are only impossible until they are not.

If I want the real world, I'll turn off the "game" and walk out my front door. This is supposedly a game - remember? Fine. Then admit you are anti-sandbox.

You want thegame to revolve around you and your gaming style and forget that there are tons more people playing this game than just you. Except you are against sandbox elements that make your casual gameplay experience less enjoyable. You don't want a sandbox mate. You want a themepark. You want to login, and just go have fun with no consequences. Things are only impossible until they are not.

Unlikely, but it's entirely possible that people like him are not a minority or a small percentage of players. This is what happens in the seedier part of the town. See how the human trash gets left behind, and become a feature around these parts? Personal insults? You lost the argument mate. Things are only impossible until they are not.

RvB makes up the most. RvB is like the casual version of PvP. You don't have to live EVE in order to enjoy some PvP. The casual version of pvp is getting a rifter and going to lo sec. Things are only impossible until they are not.

Gee. Nobody ever runs missions to fund pvp. Things are only impossible until they are not.

Translation: I indeed affirm and swear I cannot cut it in nullsec. I bet you used to do vanguards. well. you are too close-minded.... Currently to settle in 0.0 you need to beat strong rich and powerful alliances already living in it. That's why you see the same political picture in 0.0 for years. If you reset 0.0 (remove all current alliances and "great pvp-minded people" from 0.0) you will have empty space. Then people from empire will need to spend a lot less effort to settle in 0.0. There will be like in very begin of Eve: you just get your Iteron and go there. Fly 10-20 jumps and noone will even notice you are living there. I guess first months people will not fight anymore: what is the reason to fight if you have huge empty space to settle? Then people will grow up and build alliances. And everything will repeat: wars, blobs, 0.0 boredom. I know a really cool place called NPC nullsec where you don't need sov or a supercapital fleet to eek out a living. Things are only impossible until they are not.

I am a purely industrial character. I make plenty of ISK working in highsec and a little in lowsec, with little risk. I do not whine, or get upset when I get ganked, nor do I ask for any additional protection, I realize it is part of the game. I do not have more than 30 minutes to an hour of time each day to play Eve. I also do not have the patience to sit around waiting for people to get organized in order to do anything. I also have little to no desire to be told what to do by anyone else in a video game. With all that being said, I am completely willing to contribute to the overall goals of whatever particular alliance, assuming they have something to offer me in return for my services. So tell me, what use do you have for me, and what can you offer me in return for me moving to null and joining your alliance? We're not trying to convince you to join anyone. We are just pointing out that one way to avoid the issue of suicide ganking entirely is to move to low/null. There are other ways to adapt to HAG as well. People usually yell at me when I post them. It hurts my feelings when I get yelled at for being helpful. Hey, we have the same swizzy background. Things are only impossible until they are not.
