"You have 3 unclaimed killmails!" - Claim 3 x 500AUR

If I kill you realistically I know who you are, what ship you flew and if you're in a Corp ...

Your idea threads are really bad.

Aww. You have a crush on me?

Interesting interpretation.

But really, stop posting.

Players getting killmails isn't the problem

It's players farming killmails with gate camps, newbie baiting, miner, and missioner baiting, and suicide ganks.

There needs to be a change to the killmail system that would suggest to players to either wardec, go to low, or go to null.

It also needs to be changed to suggest to players to actually take risks in pvp, instead of just gate camping right off high sec.

The only suggestion that I can offer up to fix a small portion of this is no killmails are given in high sec for kills committed without a wardec.

This is to fight off suicide ganks, newbie baiting, missioner baiting, and miner baiting.

null sec is anything goes so any and all kills of any type should count.

Low sec is the true issue to fit into this. Perhaps only so many mail are given at a certain point during a certain duration.

In other words, if you're camping a gate, you'll only get so many killmails of the period of, lets say a week. If you kill more than so many ships at a point in a system, (you're camping the gate), then you will not be given any further killmails until you relocate and will not receive killmails while at that specific location again until the cycle runs up.

So ... only create loss mails?

That way, they can post it if they want. Also, if you API to be part of the kill boards and PvP then your whole list comes out and is real.
Corps can just throw all their members to the wolves.

This leaves NPC newbies safer from farming.

I would be happy with no kill mails at all, i know i killed the guy he knows i killed him, that's all i need to know.

If your good at killing people, people will soon learn who you are and to fear you, you don't need to go LOOK AT ALL MY LEET KILLZ!!


KMs are over rated, i lived in a WH for 6 months and got a few T3 kills did i post them hell no, can i prove i killed them now? Nope, do i care if people beleave me? Nope.

OP is updated.

The real problem is the point values of some ships. Manage to get that Dramiel in a Thrasher or Wolf? 30 points for you! Lose to a Dramiel in the same ships? 50 to 80 points lost! Battleships are worth 400 points but HACs are only 130.... You get the idea.

They're getting free killmails for sitting at a gate and dropping insta everything on ships that comes through the gates.

They are bloody ******* pirates, do you want them showering you with ******* flowers instead? Next thing I'll probably see is people requesting CONCORD in null and low because it breaks the sandbox that they can be attacked freely.


The real problem is that CCP has made gate camping too easy, gate guns don't do **** to battlecruisers and battleships these days and so they can sit there all day tanking afk.

I didn't say no more gate camps...

What I was stating is that the killmail system is the sole purpose for a lot of kills that are make in eve to include gate camp kills.

This is effecting the outcome of a sand box.

Remove the killmail system all together and there would probably be many things in eve that would change.

Perhaps instead of farming killmails through pirating, players would actually pick a choose battles worth fighting.

The killmail system is effecting the "sand box" of eve. Players aren't getting involved in pvp combat in a manner meant to benefit themselves, their corp, or their alliance, but are instead just killing for killmails.

So essentially you wish to nerf everyone else's game, because it makes you fell all inadequate?

It is a friggin' game, points are scored and high lights are saved, if it bugs you this much don't read the KB's ffs.

*Watches the point zoom past Baaldor.*

I post my losses. I post only one kill mail. All the rest I blame my corp or alliance.

I have no problem with PvP and do it frequently. It just irritates me beyond belief that there is these newbie killers, who are not doing it for any gain but to fluff up a point system.
Sure, if you are desperate enough to come and shoot my mining ship for ISK do that. Heck, if you need the ISK you can just chase me off and take the cans of ore.

However, shooting mining ships, indys and other things that help fuel this game just for a few meaningless points? That is wrong.

Kill mails make screwed up motivations.

No i get the point, you just dd not like my response because it does not meet your expectations.

As far as motivations, I can tell you, that the initial motivation is to pewpew, THEN after, it is to fapfap.
