How about a DEV-blog about how the DEVs want us pirates to be. I pirate since i started the game. I did everything that Concord does not allow and it¦s a question of roleplay for me do exactly what is not allowed by the "virtul law". I compare the pirate career in EVE to the thief career in fantasy games. But i miss the place we are considered to operate.
1.0-0.5 Nobody wants us pirates there. If we do it people get really upset and Devs anchor new sentry guns or make the sentry guns shieldboost the prey. 0.4-0.1 Aunenen...looks like we are not considered to gatecamp. Killing miners in the belts doesnt make any sence since they drop only a CPU and 5 miner IIs. 0.0 Piracy in 0.0 is no crime and pirates are simply warriors. I don¦t want to play the warrior career. I want to pirate like described on the EVE sell package. I am not interested in alliance blobwarfare. I love dirty kills and steal someone others items. Only ISK that are stolen make me happy.
DEVs, should we retire and let you alone with your helpless try do give the game some roleplaying and non-NPC-action? What are the plans, DEVs? Will the pirate career get fixed? Where am i considered to pirate? 0.0? You know real roleplaying pirates want sec. hits. I am proud of having a red square and i dont want to fire at gates in 0.0 to lower my sec status! I also want to get -10000! Why does it stop -10??? Every n00b pirate has -10. I want to have -10000!

Quote: Man no wonder you pirates complain you never make any money
I don¦t complain about making no ISK. I have tons of ISK and each single ISK was stolen. I got rich with piracy. But i dont want to end like the m0o-guys in an alliance blob, watching bubbles or jumpgates for hours. I want to hunt the prey and i want to be a criminal character. Since it¦s a game, crimes are a funny part of the game. But it¦s absolutly normal to blow up any strangers ship in 0.0. I was forced to be a warrior in 0.0. But i decided to play the pirate career and not the alliance warrior career long before all these carebears where crying about us pirates and the game was changed. I accept beeing forced into 0.0 by Concord, i love the freedom in 0.0. But the criminal career is bugged since i get no sec. hits for killing other people and stealing their items. I am no pirate in 0.0, i am forced to be a "warrior" character. That¦s anoying!

Piracy in low sec. systems is not really funny. The easiest way is to search some stupid miners, warp to their belt and destroy their ships. That¦s not challanging, not funny and doesnt pay ISK. A pirate wants ISK for his dangerous work! So more interesting is to catch traffic with good cargo. Sentry guns make oversized blobpiracy nessesairy at 0.4 gates like Aunenen for example. We did this long ago and we destroyed 500 ships in 3 days in Aunenen. First it was funny, but later it was just a mindless slaugther. We decided a good pirate should hunt the rich and experienced guys - so we went to 0.0 and slaughtered thousands of rich alliance guys, stole their Zydrine and named loot. It¦s challanging due to the fact that some alliances fight really good! Everything is fine, only one thing missing: the sec. hit! I am no pirate in 0.0 - i am only another warrior in my faction. That¦s not the career i want to play. Do pirates have to go to 0.4 belts or gates to toast the EVE-n00bs to be pirates? I am not interested in this - i want to farm rich alliances and experienced players that have billions of ISK. N00b-slaugtering in Aunenen is good for new pirate corps to grow up and get into their role - but where is the place for experienced pirate corps? Should we all join alliances and get faction warriors like m0o did? I really want an answer of a DEV on what we are considered to do in EVE. I know that the "sheeps" pay more $$$ than we 2-3% pirates in the game and that the DEVs have to focus on what the "sheeps" want, but they shouldnt forget what they wrote on the sell package of EVE that i aquired for 59 EURO. There was a lot written about piracy and a outlaw career which i cannot find in the game - i feel betrayed!

Quote: Take away sentries inn 0.4 -> 0.1 now
Forget it! Will cause 5000 whine-topics and 2500 sheeps to quit EVE. Make 0.0 pirate area - this is the solution, nothing else. If they want the high ore they have to fight pirates. There is no other way.

There is no future for piracy? I want to hear this of a DEV! And then i want my 59 Euro back. Me was promised a pirate game. I have enough of all the carebear-whining about 0.4 piracy and i cant read the Aunenen-topics anymore. I dont want to play with these guys anymore and prefer 0.0 where the somewhat tougher guys hang arround. 1.0-0.1 is all n00b-area. I am no n00b and i dont know what i should do in empire. I wont go to empire and do "empire piracy" by war declarations - it¦s bugged before Shiva is even released if the game itself has no good roleplay structure.
Make 0.0 pirate area like it should be. Killing randomly people ==> sec. hit.

Quote: Don't you think it would be much more of an achievement if you ended up in all alliance KOS list
TDG are on all KOS-lists in this game! But this doesnt mean we can pirate - it only means we are at war with all alliances.
The new Shiva options will cause only one thing: people will leave alliances once all "ex-pirates" declare war on all alliances. I have 5 altcharacters. 2 of them have 11 mil skillpoints, 2 have 2 mil skillpoints. I can go and "exploit" the empire wars in Shiva with 3 of my characters - but i am not interested in this. I want 0.0 fixed! Piracy belongs to there! And if alliances want to kill randomly people there, then they should face the negative effects of piracy and shouldnt be welcome in empire anymore - simply, realistic and logical. The lack of settlers in 0.0 is not because there are pirates in 0.0 - it is because alliances can pirate there without any restrictions! And with the new Shiva sytems again people want to do piracy, but they dont want the sec. hits and these people will simply declare war on all alliances and destroy the new war system before it¦s born. The most sad thing is: I probably have to do the same and have to declare war on all alliances to be able to pirate - this game is so buggy and i don¦t talk about the server crashes or little grafic bugs.

Piracy is not dead! There are tons of people that pirate - but they do it in 0.0 where they wont get sec. hits. This is the main reason why 0.0 didnt get settled by players. 90% still hang arround in empire because 0.0 is in fact full of not marked pirates! But pirates need a neg. sec. rating - that¦s the definition of a pirate player. What 0.0 pirates do is to kill tons of people in 0.0 and then come back to empire to sell loot or buy new stuff. This is not logical and it is also not good for interaction between the different careers in EVE. Pirates for example should need smugglers that haul stuff to and from empire. Alliances should need pirates for the "dirty work" within their boarders. And so on - sec. hits in 0.0 would fix all the lack of roleplaying this game has. And it would fix the dying pirate career. If they don¦t come we¦ll have a stupid game with Shiva where empire wars will cause a lot of people to leave their alliance and use standings to show allied players.

Quote: And CCP dosen't have anything to say!!?!
Common what's your view on piracy and it's current state??
They probably don¦t have a clue what to do to fix all the problems. Their own rules caused now that the game had to be changed from a corp-based and -sized game to an alliance-based and -sized game. Blobbing is "made by CCP". Also the now alliance-focusing game is a sign for all the lost career types.
CCP, i don¦t know what finally is right or wrong - but can it be ok, that TDG/BNCL/TEDDYS have to form an alliance, declare war on all other alliances while all our players only wanted to be pirates? They didnt want to declare any wars and be a political force, they simply wanted to hunt rich players. If this new Shiva features comes without sec. hits in 0.0 there would be no reason for us to go on to do piracy in 0.0. The war declaration possibilitys would offer us much more traffic in empire. It¦s a mess for the pirate career because any pirates in this game will fix their sec. ranking and become "warriors". Sec. hits in 0.0 would fix this, while alliance warriors can still pvp as much they want. If they kill others without a war, they would get pirates - wich would be absolutly logical.
