So why can I not can flip noobs in the "sandbox"
O right because it is a sandbox WITH LIMITS....
So ccp can choose what to limit and what to not. I see no reason why HS ganking can not be limited. Here is an idea. Miner can pay concord a SMALL price to come into the belt and sit in it... ALL DAY... boom ganking prices go WAY up as you need WAY more ships.
All the sandbox bullshit needs to stop
You want PVP head over to world of tanks

**** shoots back. Let's see.
CCP puts this in-game, all the high-sec risk-averse filth take advantage of this "service" and begin making stupid amounts of risk-free ISK.
These players have ever-further bloated wallets and begin RMT'ing away their winnings because they make so much ISK they don't need to spend all of it on PLEX anymore. They also never lose a ship again, because they can rent security from CONCORD risk-free. PVPers also lose less ships, somewhat lowering the demand for high-sec's one valued commodity: Tritanium.
RMT goes through the roof. People actually playing the risky part of the game can no longer get ahead, even with Technetium. Nobody needs Tech anymore because Hulks aren't popping left and right.
Subs plummet.
EVE becomes a miner wasteland of filthy RMTers who have nobody left to buy their wares.
Your idea is brilliant. Send Hilmar a tweet, this **** is going viral! |

My own contribution to this thread:
This is EVE. A hardcore game. While ganking defenceless mining barges is not really "hardcore" IMO, I can see and understand why it's done. But the moment when the carebears "Harden The Fack Up" and strike back with an overwhelming power, they lose their carebear title and then rightly earn their spot in this game.
But alas, most of these carebears just don't *want* to PvP, even despise the very act of it. This is a foolish opinion to have, as PvP is the very core of EVE. You shouldn't be wanting to limit it, or even remove it. But some carebears do think this, and then ask CCP to take measures to make sure the carebears can continue living in their own little world with unicorns that puke rainbows. But they don't realise this is a multiplayer game. With the emphasis on MULTIPLAYER. That means other players can stroll through your happy little world and burn down everything you ever worked for. You KNEW this when you started playing, you KNEW there was a risk of dying the moment you undocked. You took that risk. If you die, that's not because of bad game mechanics/design, that's not because other players are mean. It is because you probably didn't even try to minimise the risk. I know ways to avoid suicide gankers in highsec that simply can not fail. Heck, you can keep your MLU2s and survey scanner and not even tank your hulk... but it requires teamwork, preparation, and ISK. YES, ISK for your protection, a small price to pay for your life. There are plenty of ways to protect yourself... so my greatest question is: why do people not utilize the game mechanics that allow them to live through a LOT of suicide ganks? Why? Is it too much effort? Too inconvenient? You sound like a lazy person that is unwilling to adapt to new changes. And at that point, evolution kicks in: only the strongest, smartest, and most resilient will survive. Right now, 'carebears' immediately raise the white flag and hope some kind of deity (CCP) will save their arses. It's silly.
As a 'carebear', you create inflation, you steal the profits of nullsec alliances, you dominate the market. And you expect that other players, especially those who you steal the profits from, just accept this without acting on it? Then please, just go play some kind of singleplayer game, because EVE is not for you.
If you really think you deserve to live a risk-free life in EVE, then work for it, don't go asking for a change in the game because you are incompetent at playing it. Less yappin', more zappin'! |

Because most of the people banned were in HS right? They were not null RMTs... some PL member -80 billion isk wallet no.
All I read here are TEARS...
Some tech whine... good point it is a tech nerf... + 1 reason to do it... (also rere, hulks are not the only ship that needs tech)
RMT is not going to go up as said... RMT lol... was a null thing mostly...
Please tell me the RISK of mining in null... the biggest risk is the op is so large it is harder to see a hostile come into local... ROFL.
Also how can eve become a wasteland of RMTers?
With only RMT miners... first off the price if mins will go epicly low, second who is going to build stuff for the RMTers to buy? Who is going to find the deadspace and officer mods? The whole RMT thing would not even work...
Go learn something ROFL.

Good post. The people whining today about how hard Eve is and should be tamed wont ever believe that by comparison it is now far far easier than even when I started just 5 years ago. Further back it was harder still. Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing. |

You need a MARKET dumb dumb who were the guys who BOUGHT the isk? null secers...
Let's go on with your everyone doing it for RMT... all that means is ganking = MORE bots / RMT chars needed... so all you are doing is helping turn even into a RMT waste land...

Statistically speaking why would more botters be caught in high-sec than in low-sec?
Are you implying that CCP uses different metrics between the two security levels?
Maybe null doesn't have logs?
Statistically, if more botters are caught in Caldari High-sec than anywhere else, that means that in all likelihood that's where the most botters are.
Edit: I like the part how I'm winning Eve and you tell me I'm losing. |

I want PvP, I come to EvE. That's what the game's based on. See any NPCs in the mineral market? Then mining is PvP. See any NPCs in the LP item market? Then selling LP goods is PvP. See any NPCs caring about the buying power of ISK? Then running Isk faucets is PvP.
EvE's core (and only redeeming feature) is the fact that player vs player interaction permeates the game. This is EVE. -á Everybody Versus Everybody. |

EvE's only hard if you play with a single account. Get a scout, and the harshness totally disappears. You can roam freely, haul your loot, manufactured goods, or go -10, your alt can shop for you in empire, you can scam, do whatever, and get off scot-free.
This pseudo-harshness is actually an incentive to buy multiple accounts. It has created a faithful playerbase of high-sec, 0.0 and WH dwellers, who feel pride in striving despite this pseudo-harshness, and of online griefers. Most of all players, whatever their path, fund multiple accounts monthly, either through real money or PLEX, which are bought and sold by IRL rich players.
There are not many real players behind the keyboards. But this small playerbase pays a lot of RL money.
It works out nice. Because, at the moment, a single shard can only accommodate so many players. Yet, the day technology leaps forward and allows ten times more concurrent users, Tranquility gets Trammelized, to bring in the casual crowd.
And griefers will cry their griefbears tears "why did you do this ;_;" , unable to understand, once again, that each and every MMO that draws a clear line between pvp and pve areas or servers (that is, most of them), do so because of that tiny community of online griefers, who would require too many GM resources to properly cull, and who are better left as paying customers in certain designated areas.
TLDR: Should gamers all respect some form of common decency, there would be no need for hardcoded pvp restrictions, and complete sandboxes would be possible. If some players didn't go out of their way to seek pure grief from others (effectively not roleplaying in a game, but metagaming in a sociopathic quest for RL Schadenfreude), what need would there be for stupid mechanics like instagibbing CONCORD ?
The more griefing, the less sandbox |

Oh here is a good one. Guy says mining is PVP. Another guy says miners don't want to PVP. Huh? OOOOOOOOOHHHHH they aren't interested in combat PVP got you...ya. So what? Joe miner wants to mine and build his modules and ships, great means I don't have to do it. You can not tell/force people how to play, they just quit. Look at latest total mined graphs in the dev blogs. Some of that missing ore is coming off of alts of course. The rest is people either unsubbing for now or just not logging in. Notice any increase in the amount coming from low/null/w space? Nope.
I've done the whole mining thing myself. I don't do it now only because my personal tastes have changed. Came back to the game recently and started this combat pilot instead of going back to my industrial. Mining had its dangers back then but now they have an bigger target on their head, I'd be pissed too. |

So we're still having this discussion?
Hell, these mythical whining carebears may be a plague to the game, but these very real internet tough guys are a plague to the forums. Call yourselves hardcore or whatever you want, but I've never such a repetitive group of people.
Don't get me wrong. I'm fully in support of what Eve 'is' or else I wouldn't be playing the damn game, but still. Why does this discussion pop up a million times everyday?
Who are you trying to convince? These mythical hordes of whining carebears? If they don't get it by now then they never will. CCP? If they don't meet your expectations then shut up, cancel your account, and move on. |

No other MMO offers a single shard and a single economy driven by players where it is easily affordable in game or through real world transaction to an in-game currency (PLEX) to instantly kill a player's investment (also including time, money (subscriptions), effort, and long term investment)
The addition of the T3 BC created a gap not compensated for by by the industrial devs (if there are any left) to create ships that can counter effortless instagib.
Single shooting high value ships with a ship as affordable as a destroyer or a T3 BC while suffering no consequences (the laughable buddy system and a game where multiple simultaneous accounts is both accepted and encouraged with 3 characters given to each account) defeats the purpose of the sandbox.
A productive system would be one that transects characters and accounts leading to a penalty system that seriously punishes people and their accounts, new or old, related to the incident or not.
The essence of the sandbox is adaptation - if one kid (alliance) forces you to build your castle with wet sand, you and your buddies turn the tables and build your castle with sand and dirt, more stable. Eve does not allow this and the benefit is being given to the aggressors who work only game mechanics and care nothing for the spirit of the game. |

The t3 BC gank of today costs more than the AlphaBS gank did before the t3 were introduced. The insurance nerf compensated for the introduction of the t3 BCs perfectly as far as ganking cost is concerned.
Destroyer Ganks do not single-shot anything. They beat them down with high DPS (again, at a higher cost than the pre-dessiebuff/insurancenerf thorax ganks). The fact that they do not single-shot their targets leaves them open to disruption via death or ECM jam (i.e. an AlphaNado of your own or ECM drones) if they're shooting down a tanked Hulk.
If you're going to claim that ganking has gotten too cheap, it helps to include all the game mechanical factors that affect the cost of ganking.
If you want to make your hulk less cheap to gank, it helps to fit a tank or take some measures to protect your expensive investment. This is EVE. -á Everybody Versus Everybody. |

Yes it does, castlebuilding happens outside the beginner systems. Take your buddies and claim your own space, make it as strong as you want.
This is the idea of EVE, the sandbox. Not clinging on to the starter area. Captain Kirk didn't stay in hisec.-á

so why dont the hulkageddoners focus on the botting hotspots. players will all lose ships its a given, but when its a bunch of ones and zeros commanding pilotless ships from a basement computer farm to mine 25/8 well thats not a hisec "whiner" or "bear" thats just dirty ass scum. Kill that crap, wipe them out. Theres your holy crusade, now go forth champions.
Also im still failing to understand where all the ungodly wealth supposedly is in highsec mining. pyroxeres? the odd kernite belt? really? 3-4 hours to pay for a covetor, is 10m an hour really that insane? gee all you guys need to play more if 10m per hour is too much |

Are you implying that CCP uses different metrics between the two security levels?
Maybe null doesn't have logs?
Statistically, if more botters are caught in Caldari High-sec than anywhere else, that means that in all likelihood that's where the most botters are.
Edit: I like the part how I'm winning Eve and you tell me I'm losing. so why dont the hulkageddoners focus on the botting hotspots. players will all lose ships its a given, but when its a bunch of ones and zeros commanding pilotless ships from a basement computer farm to mine 25/8 well thats not a hisec "whiner" or "bear" thats just dirty ass scum. Kill that crap, wipe them out. Theres your holy crusade, now go forth champions. Also im still failing to understand where all the ungodly wealth supposedly is in highsec mining. pyroxeres? the odd kernite belt? really? 3-4 hours to pay for a covetor, is 10m an hour really that insane? gee all you guys need to play more if 10m per hour is too much You're assuming we gank you because we don't like what you do. That assumption is faulty.
perhaps not all gankers, but what about the ones who yell without hesitation how all high sec players need to be killed. They send a pretty loud and clear message. And while im not saying highsec should be immune. I think they should first off realise that high sec mining isnt the bountifull bag of goodness they think (except for 25/8 botters). And that thier not champions of a noble cause. Thier kicking kittens, not really anyhting to be proud off. I respect killmails showing fighting ships a hell of alot more than killmails of hulks, mackinaws and industrials.
dont make high sec safe, but drop the acts of "high sec mining is too rich" and "champions of the light" |

The addition of the T3 BC created a gap not compensated for by by the industrial devs (if there are any left) to create ships that can counter effortless instagib.
Single shooting high value ships with a ship as affordable as a destroyer or a T3 BC while suffering no consequences (the laughable buddy system and a game where multiple simultaneous accounts is both accepted and encouraged with 3 characters given to each account) defeats the purpose of the sandbox.
A productive system would be one that transects characters and accounts leading to a penalty system that seriously punishes people and their accounts, new or old, related to the incident or not.
The essence of the sandbox is adaptation - if one kid (alliance) forces you to build your castle with wet sand, you and your buddies turn the tables and build your castle with sand and dirt, more stable. Eve does not allow this and the benefit is being given to the aggressors who work only game mechanics and care nothing for the spirit of the game. Exactly. No other game offers us the chance to prove what we can do in comparison to EVERYONE else who plays this game. Theres no best on this server. There is only the best. And what defines the BEST? Well that depends on what you are trying to do. I have seen enough POSTERS, who are rarer than you'd believe, to see that there are many hulks survivng hulkageddon. There are many mission runners who have never been ganked. There's even a person who's never been podded. WTF?!
The only people who complain about the game on the forums are the ones who can't play it. n00bs. Let me show you when I was a n00b.

They could be kidding or RPing. Or they could be serious, what do I care?
Nobody's yelling that it's too rich (if they were, disrupting it would be silly, since disruption makes mineral prices go up, thus making it more lucrative). The problem is that miners have gotten used to and subsequently developed a sense of entitlement to the ability to make Isk almost completely AFK. This has lead them to (wrongly) believe that HiSec space should be "safe" or that their untanked Max Yield/Cargo Hulks should be ungankable. This belief has led them to make annoying posts on the forums. These annoying posts on the forums have led to people disliking miners due to their inability to comprehend simple premises of EvE that have not changed since Beta; namely that you are never safe.
I am not saying all of this applies to you, personally. But it does apply to most of the people who are writing threads whinging about getting ganked.
As for respect, if you don't like shooting exhumers, that's totally fine. But you have to admit that ganking exhumers is also totally fine and is at the very least, more effort than AFK mining is. Whether you respect the gankers for their specialized skills (it does take some skill to pull off successful, cost effective ganks) or not is entirely up to you. This is EVE. -á Everybody Versus Everybody. |
