How about we propose a new system: a rookie tag on characters that indicates they are not fair game. The specifics of this tag would need to be worked out (I'll get back to that). If you steal from a wreck or can owned by a rookie, you risk bannage. If you gank a rookie, you risk bannage. If you do anything to ruin the NPE, YOU RISK BANNAGE.
Ways to trigger the rookie flag being turned off: - the ACCOUNT reaches a certain age (alts would never be rookies) - the character joins a player corporation - the character engages in activities outside of the new player experience (tutorials, career agents, SOE arc) - other stuff I haven't though of
This would take some serious work to prevent it being abused, but I think it would solve the problem and prevent people from blundering into warnings and bans by not knowing "The List." It's time to put an end to CCP's war on piracy. Fight your own battles and stop asking CCP to do it for you. |

For example, I had no idea Hatakani was on the list. I pass through there all the time and have on occasion stopped to mess with the locals. There is zero indication in-game that the system is under any sort of special protection.
edit: also creating safe-haven systems is bad because it provides a place for older players to go where it's against the rules for us less savory players to mess with them. That's not the PVP-free zones some of the carebears ask for, but it's a step closer, and is a bad thing. It's time to put an end to CCP's war on piracy. Fight your own battles and stop asking CCP to do it for you. |

Pretty much this. Remember that we were all noobs once and most of us WOULD have quit the game had we been the target of some of the behavior people seek to defend here.
It doesn't help that CCP has vague rules on who is and who is not fair game. They've resorted to restricting player behavior in a dozen systems in a list that is not directly provided in-game. We're expected to abide by arbitrary rules that are judged on a per-case basis to the point that no one really knows where the line is drawn. With all the effort that is apparently being put into CrimeWatch and making sure players understand exactly what's going on, I sincerely hope this isn't forgotten and people KNOW whether they are clear to respond to the theft of their property, regardless of the system they're in. It's time to put an end to CCP's war on piracy. Fight your own battles and stop asking CCP to do it for you. |

That's a harsh penalty for a new player who doesn't fully understand what they're doing. It also doesn't deal with canbaiting and canflipping in noob systems. The Skunkworks is recruiting. -áhttps://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1540711#post1540711 |
